“And so part of the reason that our politics seems so
tough right now, and facts and science and argument does 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.”
— Barack Obama, October 16th Democrat fundraiser
Clearly Hard-Wired
By Asher
Embry
O says our thinking’s just not clear: We’re scared, our
wiring’s wrong.
His view: it’s not his policies which make tea parties
strong.
He thinks we just can’t comprehend; remember, we’re the ones
O views as silly, bitter hicks who cling to God and
guns.
We’ve tried to disabuse him but he always does
presume
That he, and no one else, must be the smartest in the room.
On that he’s quite delusional, oblivious; it’s grim —
O’s always being rolled by Ahmadinejad and Kim.
But still he presses onward with his fundamental
change,
Dismissing our objections as irrational derange.
It’s simply inconceivable that we could disagree.
There’s no one left for him to blame except for you and
me.
We noticed all the people who he’s thrown beneath the
bus;
And knew it wouldn’t take much time before he’d get to
us.

"[We are] hard-wired not to always think clearly when we're scared." -- El Presidente
"When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation." -- Thomas Jefferson
Wrong again, bozo.

Mr. President,
when I'm scared I usually opt for number ONE in the ole' "fight or flight" hardwiring. I hope you will read my new novel about your near term future.

Obama says we're scared and hard-wired,
I say we're feeling mad and lard-mired.
Facts aren't winning?
No, Dem wings we're pinning,
'Cause it's time to get this New Guard fired!
Mad Hatter| 10.18.10 @ 10:10AM
Obama's numbers are fast dipping! Whee!
So now he's started in ripping ME!
Dems threatened with firing,
Is it fear and hard wiring?
No, I and my friends are calm, sipping tea!

Obama, raising cash while eating Dem brie,
Tossed us all under the bus, says Embry!
Of whom a fool made?
He's just hawking Kool-Aid!
He'll run Concessions, one eve Novembery!

The man from O says it's your wire
It needs repair, situation dire
If only you were great
And not half- rate
Too his image, we would all aspire
Siegfried X| 10.18.10 @ 11:09AM
He's already talking about "Obama 2.0", about how he's going to change after the election.
The way he's behaving is a strategy, maybe a stupid one, but a strategy. It's "all in" and "take no prisoners". The Democrats think their best hope to win the election is to enrage their far left voter base.
