RealClearPolitics - Articles - The Mystery of Obama's Problems: "...Ask the typical Obama supporter why this should be so and you'll get a range of answers. Some just stare at the poll numbers the way my late basset hound would look at me when I tried to feed him a grape: with pure unblinking incomprehension. Others act like the guy who sits alone with his shopping bags at the public library, muttering about Fox News conspiracies and how Karl Rove-like aliens are doing terrible things with probes of proctological exactitude. Still others just shake their heads at the racism of anyone who could possibly have a problem with a very left-wing politician with almost no experience, who often sounds like his campaign slogan is: 'People of Earth!

Every other time Obama opens his pie-hole something comes out that reminds me that I'm not as cultured, intelligent, or capable as he is. Nope. Not the kind of guy I want to have a beer with. Or have in the White House.
