Fourth Grader Asks Obama, "Why Do People Hate You?"

[Sofiyya 1,687]

If you're honest, you have to admit that Barry does a lot of hating, too. He hates capitalism, insurance companies, banks, corporate officers, people making over $200,000/yr, doctors, Kanye West, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, white cops, and, the list is always growing . . .

Colbert pwning Glenn Beck LOL

and seriously.. people take him for real? #######?

I saw that when it came out.

Yep. People took Rush seriously for a while, until he got strung out on hillbilly heroin. The left is just mad, because nobody takes their loons seriously,...er,... maybe not. They did elect Al Franken. Al Franken! OMG! ####### is up with that?

Thanks guys. It just feels like bashing my head against a brick wall with a few of these people sometimes.

####### are you talking about???

To discover this, you must go an an epic quest to perform an action known as "reading my post". Only then will you find enlightenment.

(Really, if you don't understand, please clarify what you don't get, though I think my post was pretty clear.)

I was addressing the issue of Obama staging events(plant) and you came back at me with all this just because they dont agree doesnt mean there evil nonsense, I really dont think you understood where I was coming from hence #######.

The media and the people should scrutinise the president, congress and the lower house,

What's the lower house?

Unlike the UK parliament where there's an "upper house" (House of Lords), and a "lower house" (House of Commons), Congress in the US is bicameral with two bodies (the Senate and House of Representatives) that are not upper or lower with respect to each other. It's a distinct difference. The House of Lords in the UK (or the Senate in Canada, similar parliamentary system) is supposed to be the elder voice of calm reason which carefully reviews bills originating in the Commons and can send them back for further review if found deficient. In the US bills may originate in either house and need to pass with identical wording from both chambers to be presented for signature by the President.

Let me make sure that I do understand you then: You believe that the President of the United States is hiring children to ask him specific questions at specific meetings. Further, you believe that he would actually have one of them ask, "why do people hate you?" as opposed to a million other more beneficial questions he could have had asked in such a hypothetical scenario.

Very well. I think you're paranoid too, and seeing things that are so improbable as to be asinine to even consider. Is that clear enough for you?

Further, if you think that it's "nonsense" that people who disagree with you aren't part of a conspiracy, you have bigger problems than I thought.

Some people like to assume something to be true without any evidence to back it up. Vince Foster didn't really commit suicide...Clinton had him taken out. 9/11 was an inside job. Obama wasn't really born a U.S. citizen, he was born in Kenya. Obama's not really Christian, he's a closet Muslim. Climate Change isn't real...it's a conspiracy by Leftists to take away our cars.

It makes it difficult to have an intelligent discussion with people who are so inclined to paranoia and Conspiracy Theories.

And once again your trying to put words in my mouth, here is what I said -

I think he is saying that the kid that asked him the question was a plant and I got to say after Obamas water bottle masterpiece I wouldnt put it past him.

The was me making light of Obama and his whole water bottle routine. Do I think he planted this kid, probably not but like I said I wouldnt put it past him.

You knew the answer all the time

They are very analogous, with the exception of a ruling prime minister:

Upper = Senate, with the sole power of advice and consent, and the jury for impeachment. Unaminous Consent and Unlimitted Debate. The saucer.

Lower = House, with the sole power to initiate revenue raising (tax) measures, and the petioner for impeachment. Martial Law and Majority Rules. The tea cup.

Ah, OK, so I shouldn't take you at your word from now on. Got it.

[HAL 9000 96]

There's enough of that here. We choose to keep the station on just like we choose to pay attention to the politically obtuse here.

Is the question the problem?

Obviously, there is no requirement for anyone to 'love' their president and loving one's president is not going to bring you closer to god (well, only insofar as loving is universally applicable).

Mind you, I don't really expect Obama to address these kinds of differences in such a context.

It is the first question Charles! would ask.

nah, i'd ask why does steven love him so much.

The BS that goes back and forth on cable news totally clouds the actual point of the debates.

Too many people listening to and adopting the opinions of others instead of intelligently forming their own.

Thats why so many people believed those BS stories that were flying around. I guess a lot of people are getting too lazy to think.
