Breaking news: Republicans Hate Obama

[tahnan]

The New York Times writes that, now that Obama has released the text of tomorrow's speech:

After reading the text on Monday, even Jim Greer, the Florida Republican Party chairman who last week accused the president of seeking to use the speech to foist "socialist ideology" on schoolchildren, said he could find nothing to criticize in its text.

"In its current form, it's fine," Mr. Greer said in an interview. "But it remains to be seen if it's the speech he's going to give."

Seriously? First it's "omg omg the president is going to BRAINWASH OUR CHILDRENS", and then when it's clear that he's not, it becomes "oh, well, all right, not so bad until it turns out he TOTALLY LIED TO US AND REALLY WILL BR—"...you know, it's such a stupid comment that I can't even finish it.

I know there are probably a few Republicans who might be reading this, so I won't say "I hate all Republicans". But I believe I feel safe saying "I really hate Republican leadership", and to anyone who is a Republican and reading this, do you think you could fix your [censored] party? Thanks so much.

I'm just waiting to see which innocent line from the speech gets pulled out of context by them and twisted into something utterly absurd and unrecognizable.

Five bucks on kerners' analsys of his eyeblinks, attempting to confirm their suspicions that he's morse-coding REPORT YOUR PARENTS' VIOLATIONS AT THE NEAREST ENRICHMENT FACILITY to our nation's eager children.

This just boggles my mind. I mean, it's the President. He's giving an inspirational speech to children. That's part of his job description. Aaaah!

OTOH, I was pleased to discover yesterday that not only does D recognize Obama as our president, she also knows his name.

I don't hate all Republicans either, not by a long shot. I know many who really have nothing to criticize--in their current form where they don't torture, kill, and eat children. But it remains to be seen if they're going to stay that way.
