He IS coming across as a dictator. However, his obsession with health care is going to have him hung in effigy all over the Middle East and other parts of the world he has ignored to obsess with the passage of health care reform. After all this is major step one in bringing down this country. All roads, even the seemingly insignificant ones running through RI, lead to Rome on the Potomac.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-69835072785961061572010-03-18T23:22:04.378-04:002010-03-18T23:22:04.378-04:00"Obama backed the heavy-handed (though agreea..."Obama backed the heavy-handed (though agreeable to me) tactic of firing an entire school's worth of teachers.

People in that hurry to push the race button would naturally be all over this. One has to look at the *reason* for the effigy burning and realize that race was not a factor at all.

I guess racism is so ingrained into the collective Democrat psyche that blatant racism such as lynching the president in effigy are just kind of accepted. "Well, he is a Democrat and it's what we do," they probably think to themselves. I guess the Kluckers over at the Bull Connor party just expect better from the party of Lincoln.mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08299910923301175999noreply@blogger.com
