Wow, this is painful. The reason he’s calling you a kid is because you expect him to write an essay full of examples for why his argument makes sense. Who’s going to do that?
Like when he mentions a voting record you expect him to give you a list of everything Obama has ever voted on and highlight all the important points for you? Some of us think that takes a little too much effort. Just because someone doesn’t go into detail to explain his reasoning doesn’t mean it’s wrong.[/quote]
I understand his points and don’t think he’s necessarily wrong. I only question the force of the comments.
Example: “His voting record doesn’t match his rhetoric” should read “his voting record sometimes doesn’t match his rhetoric”. I don’t care for specific examples, but the sensationalist arguments are questionable.
I recognize that people have little patience in explaining their points or tying everything together, myself included. Nothing personal against the guy. I probably approached him wrong and deserved everything I got. It’s the nature of the game.
Anyway, I’m happy you posted as you helped clear the air. Apologies, Mik.

Do you know of any major decsion makers either at the highest level of business, or government who actually care what someone fresh from College has to say?
No?
Me either.
Really…I would not have pointed this out if your first post didn’t sound like some over reaching college kid attempting to sound intelligent by using arguments that he learned fresh from a Philosophy class.
Learn and try again.[/quote]
Ahhh, you assume that I paid attention in college.
Kidding. I understand what you’re saying. I also submit that I’m not accustomed to the informal nature of messageboard disputes. Both my parents are lawyers and I have no siblings. It sounds to me like you’ve had many brothers to deal with. Again, apologies for approaching you wrong.

Some of you guys need to get a bit more realistic… your hysterics are laughable.
If Obama chooses Hillary as his running mate, I’d give his presidency about a year and a half. Hillary will then ‘replace’ him (like Vince Foster got ‘replaced’). Black people will go absolutely crazy and try to burn down every city in the US. Martial law will be imposed and Hillary gets to be El Presidente for life.[/quote]
Black people no longer give a shit about politics, I think.
This isn’t the 1960’s.
