Read that.

Loved it.

I've often wondered if Obama ever watched the news or if he was being spoon-fed by his inner circle seeing as so many of his policies (health care, AZ immigration law, GZ mosque) put him in opposition to 60 to 70 percent of the public.

I couldn't understand if he was just not seeing the public reaction and was being misled or if he sees it and just presses on with his own elitist ways. If the latter I would have guessed that eventually Obama would try to fall in line because not falling in line would exact a political toll that will doom him.

It seems that Obama really is that obstinate.

Amazing.
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."

I see it as kinda like that much-parodied bunker scene in "Downfall."
