OT: Obama is dumber than a box of rocks

Some believe/ignore things based on personal feelings. Some take a fact based approach as to what they believe but in the end we all believe what we want to believe.

Well, that’s arguable. But, generally, believing what you want to believe doesn’t really apply to easily provable (or disprovable) things. It’s quite easy to find out whether Obama is really eligible to be president. Whether he was born in Kenya or Hawaii.Yet you appear to choose not to find out. Why is that?

If you are going to get all the information you can in order to make larger decisions, then the least you could do (if you care whether or not you’re going to make good decisions) is to get the easy stuff right. How do you expect to make good decisions on larger issues (like who to vote for) if you don’t bother to take a few seconds to find out what’s true and what’s not?

John: I agree with Aecetia. Putin is former KGB, and is dedicated to returning Russia to it’s former glory. Russia’s intimidation has now moved beyond saber rattling into direct intervention.

The Europeans are entirely too dependent on Russian fuel and afraid of a resurgent “bear” in their backyard to do much of anything.

God love McCain, but I don’t think he has much of solution beyond sending the USAF in to try and interdict the Russians as they move their big iron into Georgia.

And, make no mistake, Putin has the stones to play a high-speed game of chicken with us and NATO. This the potential to get real ugly and spread into a wider war.

Allan, I assume you’ve read “Theodore Rex.” Probably my favorite biography. He lived more life and accomplished more than 10 ordinary men. A true American hero.

zk: I agree. Dude was a stud, and probably my favorite President. He definitely had faults, but was certainly a man of action.

I coach youth football, and make a point every season of handing out Teddy’s “Man in the Arena” speech to my players.

Another excellent bio on Teddy is “T.R.: The Last Romantic” by H.W. Brands. Very balanced, with a strong emphasis on the man himself. If you liked “Theodore Rex”, you’ll enjoy “T.R.”.
