Did the President mean he would rather eat a pit bull than Sarah Palin?

Joe Biden must be writing his material now.
COG, regardless of what you think of President Obama, he is good in this arena.Somebody once said that you get quality of leadership you deserve. Obama may be what we deserve. He may very well be a reflection of the average voter who is essentially worthless. Demagogues are only able to practice their trade by exploiting the weaknesses of the voter. If the average voter is ignorant of basic economics, history and current events and covets the possessions of his harder working neighbors, then leadership like Obama is inevitable.
We are a populus permiated with "pop culture", 2/3 of the citizens cannot name the three branches of Government, but can tell you what Kim Kardashian wore to the Correspondence Dinner the other night.
This plays right into the hands of a charismatic figure like The President. He can manipulate these weak minds, promise them anything, while demanding nothing in return but their vote. Afterall, somebody else is paying for it.
I pity poor Mitt Romney. All he can offer is fiscal responsibility to a Country that is drowning in it's own debt of vomit. What is that up against a good one liner. Originally Posted by Jackie S
