1) I had to go back and look up this "shout out" incident that has marred your image of the president.

Holy hell, Clint. Between that and the fact that the president didn't show enough fake emotion at the mining tragedy the conservative pundits complaining about these non-incidents come across as INCREDIBLY petty.

It just proves my point, again, that if the president does something perfectly correct, the right can find any number of ways to pick it apart into making him look like a monster. And they got you, too, Clint. Hook, line and sinker.

2) Rasmussen Reports is a conservative polling company. Scott Rasmussen was a paid consultant for Bush's 2004 campaign. Yes they are "American people." They are conservative American people taking polls.

3) I am not making you the bad guy, Clint. I was referring to the writer of that article that said the president should show fake emotion when talking about the tragedy in W. Va. He is disingenuous for not being fake. I like that. That sounds like right wing pundit logic.

4) I hope you mean it when you say you hope Obama doesn't fail. Too often conservatives use that line to look sympathetic after Rush Limbaugh's honest but ill-advised statement that he hopes the president fails. Behind closed doors when the mics are off are conservative leaders REALLY saying they hope the president doesn't fail? Hmmm...

5) But this guy will stop at nothing to complete his agenda. That is awesome. The same phrase was used by conservative leaders to praise President Bush when he ignored the polls and did what he wanted to complete his agenda. "He is bold! He makes the hard decisions others won't!" which is another way of saying "He does things the people don't approve of."

6) He believes that Socialism or a worst-ism is that utopia for America. Are we really at the point that we have run out of negative words so we have to make up new negative words to describe the president's actions? That's tea bagger talk. "Obama wants to instill Worst-ism on America!" And again with "utopia". These are scare tactics, Clint, and you are smarter than that.

Like before, I am not going to spend too much more time on such petty non-issues like the "shout-out" and the lack of tears in the presidential speeches. If you, like some conservative chatterboxes, think these are impeachable offenses (or offenses at all) that is your business. It all seems like a silly waste of time to me when there are so many more important issues that need to be resolved.
