The evidence was there that Chairman Obama would be a lousy leader, but nobody cared. The evidence is there that he is a walking disaster with the destruction of the US on his mind, yet nobody cares. He's a failure and everybody's so sure that they were right when they voted for him that they can't or won't see what they've done. Evidently, flowery speeches from a teleprompter about how America sucks motivates people. It motivates them to do stupid things, but it motivates them. That’s interesting.

Rhetorical Question - Why do White People always end up (need inherently) to believe such idiotic ideas. Are you guys from Europe hard wired to have to consider such stuff after you reach a certain level of income, education, success??? I still dont get it after all these years of being "acculturated" by the "White, Ethno-Centric Devils" at the University of California. Keep up the good work GPW.

Left me very quiet and then recalled what a friend who relocated to montana from new hampshire, a red man from a blue state. 'All are devotees of behavioral economics — a school of economic thought greatly influenced by psychological research — which argues that the human animal is hard-wired to make errors when it comes to decision-making, and therefore people need a little "nudge" to make decisions that are in their own best interests.' -- NPR my friend uses the term SHEEPLE. . .Sheeple need that nudge.
