I didn't ask you. [...] Go ahead, try another non sequitur -- this is not the "Obama isn't original, he's a hack and Scriabin is dumb for thinking otherwise" thread -- go start that one yourself and STFU in here and let us get on with it already.
You are, as usual, irrelevant, immaterial, and unable to contribute anything on point regarding the thread su ...[text shortened]... little cliques. And no wonder --
And you call others "odd." Are we having a laugh?
Originally posted by ScriabinI don't think I have failed to appreciate anything. The timing is not significant. You may choose to wax lyrical ("Obama again demonstrated the rather breathtaking scope of his intelligence, his mastery of the medium, and his unflappability..." ) and go gooey about a political hack's calculated quip on TV, probably knocked together by West Wing staffers. It wasn't even slightly original, and a little bit of originality would be prerequisite for any demonstration of a "breathtaking scope of intelligence", surely. It's kind of funny to think of this competent bit of talkingheadsese on Obama's part might be seen as him "[taking] on all the major broadcast media". But I suppose it puts the rest of your strangely self-centred and rather prescriptive comments on this thread so far into a psychological context.
You fail to appreciate Obama's timing. No one here has ever heard of this Indonesian sage you mention, nor would anyone here care a wit. When the most powerful man in this town takes on all the major broadcast media when he knows he is speaking to the largest TV audience of all programming that night is a sign of being much more in tune, more aware of what ...[text shortened]... ening as it happens than anyone since Reagan.

you've got no political savvy at all.
there you are out in the booniest of boondocks and think you know something about american politics and the media.
oh, I'm sorry, you read and listen to the ECONOMIST. Wow -- do you move your lips? Next you'll brag about seeing Russia from your house.

Surprise, surprise. A stream of personal abuse in the middle of a political discussion.
in one thread you attack those who berate Obama for berating Obama
in this one you attack me for praising him
the pattern is clear
you don't care about Obama
you only care about attacking those of us who want to discuss things
don't you have a sandbox you can go play in?
can't you find some bugs with wings to tear off?
why not go abuse your children? or is this how you take out your parental frustrations?

Originally posted by ScriabinYou ask me "Why not go abuse your children?" and in almost the same breath say you said it to me because I am an abusive personality?
you are an abusive personality
and I don't like you
or didn't you get that?
All this in the middle of a political discussion?

you were reaming me out for praising Obama for his lack of originaliity, his "hack"dom.
What are you, some sort of Mrs. Sukarno back to cheer us up? Haven't you had enough blood in these threads?
Why, you’re as honest as Anne Baxter’s character in All About Eve; as warm a mother figure as Faye Dunaway in Mommie Dearest; as affectionate and kind as Bette Davis in The Little Foxes; and about as stable and sane as Ms. Davis in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane.

You seem to be a lot like Mary Ann Cotton when it comes to understanding how to relate to folks, disagreement or not.
