Check out my journal http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/AcousticGodWe have tried that before. Your invitation reads like it's implying that you have an open mind, and like you are genuinely interested in hearing Obama's merits, but history shows us that you don't have that open mind. You're not really interested in having your beliefs challenged. Am I right?Aside from that, I don't typically make things about Obama. "Obama" has become the catch-all word for Republican contempt, but "Obama" isn't always where the ire should be directed. Don't get me wrong. I understand that he is the figurehead at the top of the government structure, but he doesn't micromanage every little thing that happens. We know in the IRS case, that individuals acted independently, and without direction from Obama. The op-ed you posted wants to make it out like a campaign action was indirectly telling IRS staffers directions via code, but that's not literally what happened. That's an attempt to spin information to fit a convenient narrative.

The way you've sought to build arguments here have been poorly executed. You make a suggestion that something is true, and then I go to read it to find out that you didn't understand the information you posted.Ami AnneYou are right AG. We are too far afield to agree but I appreciate your attitude of a general tenor of respect. I know you are a not a hateful person, so see ya around ------------------Passion, Lust, Desire.

Consider the mighty Repubs
beating Obama with clubs.
but talk of "impeachment"
a grand over-reach-ment
will keep them the party of scrubs.
