		<description>It&#039;s why you&#039;re so obsessed by politics. You sense your world is changing, leaving you behind, and it terrifies you. Just think, before long, middle class, middle aged white males will no longer be the majority.  You&#039;d better learn to adapt, or YOU will be crushed.

And if I were you, I would not feel comforted  that your political allies think putting a convict into political office is preferable to...tell me again, just what &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; it you&#039;re so afraid of?</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s remember back for a moment the shitstorm Obama inherited from your boys.  After getting kicked out of power for crashing the economy and leaving America in a shambles domestically and internationally, what did your serious GOP start talking about?  

&quot;Obama&#039;s a foreigner&quot; even though he&#039;s not. Obama&#039;s a muslim - even though he&#039;s not. Obama&#039;s a black anti-american radical- more nonsense.  Obama&#039;s a socialist, even though by any serious historical standard he&#039;s governed from the center. A communist, yes he&#039;s throwing the opposition into concentration camps!  He&#039;s raising your taxes, despite the fact he&#039;s lowered them.  He&#039;s gutted the military, even though he raised defense spending.  He&#039; anti business, but the stock market is soaring.  He&#039;s coming for your guns, even though he has never even mentioned it.  He wants to kill your grandmother with death panels, because he wants a provision that pays for a patient and a doctor to discuss advanced directive issues.  He&#039;s taking your freedom because he wants to stop insurance companies from killing people in order to make more money.  He&#039;s fighting a war on religion because he want&#039;s women to have access to birth control.  Yes Obama is indeed Adolf Hitler reincarnated!

You guys have invented a fictional president to run against, and you can get away with it in the primaries because the right wing media rarely exposes the GOP lie machine.  In fact they more often feed it.   But in the general election your nonsense is revealed for the utter garbage that it is, because the rest of the population have functioning bullshit detectors.</description>

		<description>But you refused to accept his evidence. Not his birth certficate, his school records, his college grades, high school yearbook, nothing. And you made such asses of yourselves trying to prove it.  

And when he finally brought out more evidence, most of you didn&#039;t accept that.  Some conservatives are still complaining about his documents, how they are faked. Its all conspiracy theory stuff.

Of course, you guys never accepted him as American anyway, no matter what he produced. There was no evidence that was acceptable to you people...There was always something about him that really pissed you off, that made him seem illegitimate, alien, foreign, the other, somehow. I wonder what it could have possibly been...

Well, you better get over it, &#039;cause you ain&#039;t seen the last of him yet. He&#039;s going to crush Romney this November.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;And &lt;em&gt;how long&lt;/em&gt; before Obama actually effectively responded to that accusation?&lt;/p&gt;

I am making a point here, connected to an earlier premise of yours, but I left my steam hammer in my other car.</description>

		<description>You guys just wouldn&#039;t let that go....

And you refused to accept his evidence.  And now it will &lt;em&gt;always&lt;/em&gt; be associated with what happened on May Day.
