I think we can just apply the filter now, as you are obviously a right
winger, who probably does not own a boat, who wants everyone to read
your predictably thoughtless parroting of the Republican thought of the day.


Hey - that was a good article. Why would you filter someone who posts
an editorial from the Boston Globe? Is that paper not liberal enough
for you?

Here's a good quote:

"Was there ever a president as deeply enamored of himself as Barack
Obama?

The first President Bush, taught from childhood to shun what his
mother called “The Great I Am,’’ regularly instructed his
speechwriters not to include too many “I’s’’ in his prepared remarks.
Reagan maintained that there was no limit to what someone could
achieve if he didn’t mind who got the credit. George Washington, one
of the most accomplished men of his day, said with characteristic
modesty on becoming president that he was “peculiarly conscious of his
own deficiencies.’’

Obama, on the other hand, positively revels in The Great I Am."


This is another example of turning a positive into a negative, which is
one of Carl Rove's trademarks. Obama has actually done what right
wingers say poor people should do, "Pull yourself up by your
bootstraps." But when it's done, it must be related to a negative, in
this case his supposed ego.

No evidence, just baseless, childish name calling.

Bush Senior should not be held up as a positive example of parenting.
Maybe if he had included more "I"s his son wouldn't have started a
couple of wars he didn't have the gumption to complete.

Just left them to the next guy. A trait which does not look good in
history books.
