Isn't just weird how the Obama fanatics claim he is just a puppet,
that he has no control over his actions, that some hidden hand is
forcing him to drop bombs on babies, that he is a good and decent
person who would never keep the wars going if the generals didn't
make him, etc. If this were true, why would they support a totally
weak and completely manipulated person anyway?
<br>
<br>
Then there are those who admit he is the one pulling the trigger,
but it's okay because of all the good things he is doing for us.
Really?
<br>

I had someone argue with me last night that it's okay that Obama
has murdered 12,000 civilians, as that's far less than Bush
murdered. I asked her how many Obama would have to kill before he
pissed her off, and she said he has to kill as many as it takes to
democratize those countries!! The insanity never ends!
