Plenty of useful idiots in line to do Obama's dirty work, even after watching the earlier useful idiots get thrown under the bus. Why people still swallow what Obama says instead of what he does is beyond me.

>They found some unpaid tax liability of his (which reporters have admitted Joe didn't know about in the first place), and they successfully branded him a hypocrite and a tax dodger. Huh? I never heard that once. The knocks on him were: 1. He wasn't really a plumber 2. His name wasn't really Joe 3. His entire story about buying a business was completely implausible He was part of a narrative that the McCain campaign was constructing... don't you remember Palin's "Tito the Builder?" (I think I have that name right). Dumbed-down storytelling, no more. The man was a clown. Have you followed his career since? I haven't much, but from what I've seen, he's a joke. -Z

>> Mission accomplished. Distract the public's attention from Obama's "spread the wealth" comment. The media's behavior in the last two elections (at least) has been absolutely reprehensible. I could understand it in '08, but I found what happened last year to be far worse. In '12, we knew the man was not capable of running the country. If you look at what happened, e.g., on the Olympics comment, on the "47%" video, etc., it was unconscionable behavior on the parts of the MSM. Totally unfair coverage specifically intended to swing the election. And it had an important effect. Some of these people who have been celebrating this big win are going to look back on it and realize what a screwup it was to support this behavior.
