Hi Marti.

I can explain it all, in bad logic. There have been no good presidents 
(Carl assures me). Obama may be the president. Therefore Obama is bad.

Even worse, Obama is a liberal, a group much maligned by Carl and disliked 
by both the Marxist left for thwarting the revolution and by the 
Libertarian right for insisting that there are more rights than just those 
of property.

It is therefore irrelevant to ask if Obama misspoke or was misquoted in the 
single source.

   QED

If you don't see the excessive complexity lurking beneath the surface of 
the ongoing condemnation of Obama, look again. Another violation of Occam's 
Razor is in evidence..... Obama is no angel, mind you, but who is?

Bob, unrepentant Occam guy
