...This from an analysis last week from Time Magazine (not exactly a bastion of right-winger propaganda). And it goes to a point I've made many times in this space: Obama's words (in speeches or otherwise) are always aimed at the lowest common denominator -- the vast swaths of Americans who are uninformed and ignorant (note: I did not say stupid) when it comes to just about anything political.
If Obama ever endeavored to say anything particularly intelligent, thoughtful or inspiring to me (see, e.g., film/audio from old JFK speeches sometime), then I would listen. But as it stands, he's talked to me like I'm a moron for six long years now. I stopped even trying to listen a long time ago. Life's Too Short, Would You Agree?
And if Obama's recent dismal polling is any indication, most Americans have finally come to the same conclusion, do agree, and are tuning out this individual at every turn. This (the middle of Obama's second term) coincides almost exactly to the point in time when Americans also starting completely tuning out that moron W Bush. Rotten, not-so-bright presidents certainly make wonderful bedfellows, do they not?
