What you do is pop psychology, and not very well. You want to know my Psyche? I doubt it. What you’re really looking for lies within.

no reason to pontificate the implication of a statement. anyone who blindly opposes someone else for X reason is a person who can be manipulated by someone else by their taking a opposing position to themselves.

Parents been using it for AGES…
its called REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY…

and i wasn’t ridiculing you, i was pointing out that such behavior is childish at best in how YOU described you related to your family.

if you were actually proud of that, then you wouldn’t have seen ridicule, but since you know deep down that that is a crappy way to relate to human beings that care for you and have cared for you for a long while till you could care for yourself.

You want ridicule? go someplace else, I do sarcasm.

“Despite my considerable efforts, my daughter and her fiancee, both 24 and fairly thoughtful for their age, voted for Obama.”

GB,
Well, you have to respect her decision. If, at that age, my parents had even off handedly hinted at who they thought I should vote for I would have gone 180 just to see them squirm…

A mind of her own, an independent streak and a smart parent. My prediction: She’ll go far.

“…Obama has taken virtually no interest in the actual nuts and bolts of his agenda. He has basically outsourced the drafting of the bulk of his agenda to Congress…”
================
It might be more illustrative to refer to him as “President PlaceHolder” or “President Front Man”. The shadowy “they” who have provided his financial backing (presumed to include George Soros; there may be others) found an ambitious minority-ish Marxist political wannabe who was “clean and articulate” and told him, essentially, “We’ll make you king– All you have to do is show up; we’ll do the policy-making and persuade the right people behind-the-scenes. All you have to do is read the words on the teleprompter.”. So now we’ve got a guy in office who ACTS like he’s king of the country –his word is command whether regarding GM or BP; he lavishes himself with expensive date nights, extravagant parties, sumptuous dinners, afternoons of golf– but policy-wise, not so much. When he finally makes his obligatory speech about the crisis of the day (Ft. Hood, or Times Square, or the oil spill) he appears disengaged, aloof, unconcerned. He doesn’t show real concern about the policies he’s putting forward, or about the effects they’ll have on people. It looks to me like –while he’s ideologically sympathetic to the policies of “his” administration– he’s not passionately committed to them; he’s committed to the good times and prestige and power he was guaranteed for being the Public Face of … whoever. He supports their policies, reads the speeches they’ve uploaded to the teleprompter, but in reality is a willing puppet.

As they say, “can you prove I’m wrong?”

Pablo,

Despite my considerable efforts, my daughter and her fiancee, both 24 and fairly thoughtful for their age, voted for Obama. My daughter was consistent in her reason; “it’s time for a change”.

Her perception was that McCain would be a continuation of Bush and was simply too old. 8 yrs of incessant propaganda from the MSM and the ‘social justice’ curriculum she was being exposed to at UCSC (psychology major) had her convinced that Obama would work with Democrats to correct Bush’s mistakes.

She got her change but I haven’t heard her yet admit she made a mistake. I’m confident that one day she will but I suspect she still hasn’t a clue about Obama and the left’s agenda.

Now that’s she’s graduated, engaged and entering the real world, hopefully reality will begin to open her eyes.

The people that voted Obama into office did not do so because he was intelligent, or better, or more experienced, or a better diplomat, or had policies that they agreed with; they did it because he was black and because Scarlett Johansen and Steven Colbert thought he was cool… That was the extent of their reasoning, and they know it… They made a decision based on the color of a man’s skin, and they are so afraid of that becoming obvious that they must fire all of their guns around the clock to try and prevent people from confronting that fact…

Lefties “have” to cast republicans as racists, because they must be discredited before some begin to question just why it is that we have this man in office…Just what made “this” guy the one we had to elect… ? As his faé§ade begins to crumble, and our nation begins to pay the price for not carefully considering our leaders, the left must keep its pretty hate machine in full cycle…

strcpy:
I value your thoughts, but you have not made your case for me. “Brilliant” is a high form of “Intelligent”, and I see no persuasive evidence of either in Baraq. Both are attributed to him BY OTHERS, without evidence. Like him being a chess player, because one must presumably be intelligent in order to enjoy and play the game well; but there is no evidence he plays it, or plays well.
The leftist media has laid high intelligence at the feet of its favored for generations now, never embarrassed, never rethinking when the evidence proves contrary.

On the good ship lollipop
It’s a sweet trip through Agitprop
Were the communist play
At expense of nearly everyones pay.
