					<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine always refers to Paul Ryan as &#039;Andrew Ryan&#039; who is a famous videogame character with serious Objectivist/Ayn Randian overtones from the &#039;System Shock&#039; series.

It fits very well with Paul Ryan&#039;s giving out of copies of Atlas Shrugged to his interns and such.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Rudeness is the weak man&#039;s imitation of strength.&quot;

This is by no means the only example of President Obama playing the bully.  Remember when he mock-threatened to have a University president audited by the IRS?

So here we have a man who does not miss an opportunity to humiliate his personal enemies.  (I had to qualify that; on the international scene, he apparently believes he has no enemies.)  He never takes personal responsibility for his mistakes.  He avoids responsibility altogether whenever he can, and in general acts like a teenager with Dad&#039;s credit card, determined to have as much fun as he can until the ride&#039;s over.  He lies for personal and political advantage, and does so with a straight face and no apparent sense of remorse.

Well, with all that weighing him down, at least he can run on his record.  Oh, wait...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t like Obama and will criticize him until the cows come home, and until they go out again.  But I won&#039;t blame him for the Paul Ryan/Jack Ryan  error, since when I hear &lt;em&gt;Paul&lt;/em&gt; Ryan speak, I often think I am hearing &lt;em&gt;Jack&lt;/em&gt; Ryan.

Am I alone in hearing Clancy&#039;s hero in Paul Ryan&#039;s direct, plain speech and convincing argument?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[You racists really love playing holier than thou! 


I expect that you go for guys that lie, are rich and think simpletons are going to vote Ryan Rommney into the White House. Oh I forgot you do believe everthing that tea baggers say (It&#039;s not a party, it&#039;s Carl Rowe and Fix News&#039; view of a far right agenda.) Barack Obama is not a Communist, a fascist, a Muslim, a Marxist, a Progressive or even a socialist. Hard to believe the only jewish man with a thinking brain is the guy who created the Power Rangers!

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rabbi-shmuley-boteach/haim-saban-obama-israel_b_1874008.html


Pretty much the only people who think President Obama is a failure are the guys who think George W. Bush was a success. 


Does it make you sick that a majority of NON-White Americans AREN&#039;T racist and bigoted as you?
Please cut the bullcrap. it&#039;s obvious you are a racist. It&#039;s obvious you are a bigot, it&#039;s obvious you are an extremist. It&#039;s obvious you hate people who aren&#039;t white or Chrisitan. Stop denying that fact!

Is Barack Obama a traitor to America? No

Is Barack Obama a usurper? No

Those in office know he is legit. There have been many reputable non-partisan fact checkers to debunk all that you have said. He has proven time and time again that he is legally able to be President, and last I checked, being White is NOT a requirement!

Obama is not a traitor. He is working for the best interests of America as he sees it. You will find a very well organized campaign by some billionaires to affect the perception and fear of Obama. I can say I don&#039;t agree with all of his choices but I also don&#039;t have all the information that Obama has either.

Is Obama an usurper...this would indicate that he is not a valid candidate or has used force somehow to gain office. I don&#039;t see it that way. I could make a better case for Bush W being an invalid candidate but based on his skill set.

Is Obama a fraud...no, he is the President and he has appeared to me as Presidential. I would have been more likely to blow my top at the insults and issues that were sent to him to distract the people from more serious issues. 

Is Obama destroying America...no. He is working for a middle class America and if you are uber rich then maybe you will not get as good a deal but those that make great sums on the infrastructure of America should be giving more. Many of the rich are also saying this directly. There are a few billionaires that want more and more money and power, almost an addiction. These B&#039;s and sons of B&#039;s are working the propaganda machine to make people work against their own best interests.

Is Obama a Muslim...he says no. He says he is a Christian. Until we started wars based on lies we didn&#039;t care so much. Now we are thinking that we are in some kind of holy war. In a free country it would not or should not matter what religion a person is and what should matter is the character of the person. This is why Romney, a Mormon, is able to move towards the Presidency. His beliefs that he will be given a planet to rule in the next life are odd but if he did a good job then he should be judged on his actions.

I&#039;ve had enough of this hateful BS. You wanna know Why Jewish people stilll support Obama? Becaue they are NOT racists, bigots, extremist idiot. they DON&#039;T hate having a black man as President. Like Haim Saban, creator of the successful series Power Rangers, he ACTUALLY pays attention to what Obama is doing, not the racist right&#039;s disgusting, pathetic misintreption, but what Obama is ACTUALLY doing! Most Americans, and probably the large majority of North American Jews fully understand the concept that an American president should sort of generally consider the interests of American citizens as slightly more important than the desire of a bellicose government of a foreign power to use the US to pursue its policy objectives - especially when there is very likely nothing to be gained from it. People living in ideologic echo chambers are usually the very last to know - but theatrics aside unconditional support for Israel has been waning for several years - and people like Mr Adelson despite huge donations aren&#039;t helping to reverse the trend nor is Mr Netanyahu. A vote for Obama is a vote for America. Not for some money-hungry satellite state 10,000 miles away 

I can&#039;t imagine right wingers have enough brains to know what a &quot;narcissist&quot; is. 

He may have recently apologized for it, but the gaffe was about a year and a half ago. He wasn&#039;t insultingly &quot;forgetting&quot; the Republican VP candidate&#039;s name. He was confusing the name of one of the 441 members of the U.S. House of Representatives with the name of the guy he ran against 7 years previously.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Remember the refrain, &quot;Bush lied, people died&quot;?

Now the narrative on Ryan, launched immediately after he spoke at the GOP convention, is that Ryan is a lyin liar.

Accusing your political opponent of lying is clearly part of the MO on the left.

The irony is, it&#039;s clear that Obama is completely comfortable with lying and does it on a regular basis. His denial of his attempt to humiliate Ryan in that speech is just one of a long line of examples. As a previous commenter remarked, isn&#039;t this par for the course for Rules for Radicals devotees and those formed with Marxist principles?

Just can&#039;t stand the guy. His supposedly high &quot;likeability&quot; ratings continue to baffle.]]></description>
