Randall Hoven @ American Thinker

We are hearing that either President Obama is either misunderstood or we are unwashed hillbillies who don't get it....

President Obama explained us to us as follows:

And so part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now, and facts and science and argument does [sic] not seem to be winning the day all the time, is because we're hard-wired not to always think clearly when we're scared. And the country is scared, and they [sic] have good reason to be.

(Just my unwashed observation: We have a president who knows what our brains are hardwired to do and can describe the emotional state of an entire country, but he can't get subject and verb to agree and pronoun and antecedent to agree in just two sentences not read from a teleprompter. Good thing he didn't say "refudiate.")...

#8  Wonder Boy is a first rate psuedo-American pseudo-intellectual

Broadhead6, I would class him as only a second rate pseudo-intellectual, in my very considered opinion.

#7  How does it feel if you are the President of the United States and the American people have just told you that you have screwed up.

Probably figures that his 'Bus' wasn't big enough and some folks got away.

#6  They had these plans lined up and ready to go like airplanes since before the democrat primary. The House democrats knew they would take some losses - even said so if in not words they did in early retirement announcements - whoever the president would be would need to sell their agenda to minimize that damage. They selected Obama, the democrat party got trounced by three parties of their own creation: the anticipated Republicans, Tea Party, and own democrats.

Obama may or should be nervous, knowing that now the plan B is to push for his replacement and shoot the moon with a possible 12 year democrat presidency; more than enough time for people to get tit addicted. Maybe it is Hillary! or bring someone up from AAA early. If Obama wants to keep his job, ensuring his place in history as his ego would appreciate he now must campaign against dems for the next 2 years as well as Republicans and/or Tea Party. That there is even talk about democrat primaries shows where that is at, and to be replaced in the primary caucus bs democrat whatever process would ensure his place in history as well, but as a goat.

But for a swing to the center, well, there is too much out there slamming the non-believers even days before the elections. Take a person at his first word. That is either who that person is or, if they change, they will always be suspected of putting on a front.

My opinion only, add or subtractions welcome.

#5  It means he's scared.

It's an interesting theory.

You have to wonder: How does it feel if you are the President of the United States and the American people have just told you that you have screwed up.

#2  He also just came out to say that the people were not rejecting his policies, just his inability to communicate them (dumbed down enough for the hoi polloi to grasp, with their primitive, underdeveloped, unwashed brains.)
