I've been spending too much time on this site. If I were to spend ALL my time hanging out on HuffPo and DKos and Politico for aid in forming my opinion of President Obama, based on what I see here on a daily basis I'd doubt his ability to tie his own shoes.

"He's so weeeaaakkkkkkk," I hear. "Why doesn't he STAND FIRM like I do when I'm ordering my Starbucks skinny latte in the morning and the barista tries to slip 2% milk into it?" they complain. Yes, yes, there are many people who just KNOW if they had HIS job they'd do it so much better.

Yet somehow poor old bumbly Obama managed to pull off something which the naysayers tell us he just couldn't manage:

ElRay has posted an interesting diary which sparked some thinking on my part. Thank you, ElRay. I started to respond to your diary, but the response got so long I decided that maybe it needed to be a diary standing alone. However, you get full credit for bringing up the issue and for sending me off on my little tangent.

Not all tea partiers are racist hatemongers. I'm certainly annoyed at the tea party movement, and have posted my share of criticisms of their simple-minded approach of being "mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore, but come to think of it we don't actually have any helpful suggestions to fix the problem, assuming that we actually understand what the problem IS as opposed to what our SUPPOSITIONS are." However, I actually know a fair number of tea party types through other websites.
More after the jump ...
