Exactly. Just shows how they view their constituents - simple minded. Most people should be insulted by this, but the Dems have learned that it apparently works.
Bottom line: we are so fricked it really isn't funny anymore.

Are they wrong?
The democrats have mastered the art of getting what they want on the backs of those who vote.
Don't hate the players, hate the game.

Oh, it is a game, you just don't realize it. It is a rigged game at that.

Here's the thing, and this is the crux of the matter, Obama has been absolutely brilliant with PR. While his job approval is constantly below 50% he has convinced average, low information voters that the failures of the last four years were brought upon by a divided Congress and had nothing to do with him. Like it or not, this is how he got re-elected. He was also able to paint Romney as a greedy, rich man who could not relate to the American people. Whether you believe that particular analysis probably depends upon your part affiliation.

I don't know about greedy, but I do think he had trouble relating to us common folk.

It helps when the network and print media at the established markets support your every action.

I missed the SOTU address last night so i read the transcript this morning. Honestly, after reading it I thought to myself how could anybody have a problem with his vision of the country (never mind the practicality of actually doing everything he envisioned). But then I logged on to this messageboard and realized that the hatred that so many people have for this man can never be overcome, regardless of what he says or does.
Honest question, if Obama decided today to follow let's say Sen. Ryan's view on how to fix the economy to the T, how many of you would actually praise him for it? I would be willing to bet next to nobody. Instead they would say things like "what took the MF'er so long, this must be a PR move for him to somehow take advantage of, he's still a POS, etc."
The bottom line is that the country is NOT as bad off as so many of you claim, it's simply not being run the way you would like it to be.

A two-headed jackass has a 'perception of reality', CT.
I do have the (subjective) perception, that I CHOOSE, CT. Don't run with the pack cause I skeered or lonely, if they ain't going where I want to go. And I make perception-based choices from a well-reasoned and decades long assessment of the possibilities.
You might want to check out Stephen Hawking, as of late; and his take on "reality IS subjective". Sky is the limit, dude.
Good luck.

He proposed something like 29 new government programs...he called for ridiculous gun measures in which statistics don't support his ideas...he went against his own wishes relative to the sequestration issues (total flip flop)...he has shown no true desire to reduce government size, scope or spending.
With Obama, like any other politician, you must look at their actions, not their words. Sadly, Obama's actions probably run contrary to his words and promises more than any president in recent memory. He is a walking, talking contradiction in so many ways that it is almost laughable.

I can't wait for another Republican president and the mental gymnastics that would ensue trying to explain why HE doesn't have a mandate of the people.
