Ye Gods.

Who in their right mind would want to govern a country that contained within the mindset of a significant proportion of the population folk who would find some of these funny?

And these folk think a rational, educated, middle-aged half-white dude wants the position for life? Hahaha. Thank whatever Gods you have that Obama seems to have some sense of duty: even extending to the sort of Americans who spout this kind of nonsense.

From the outside this seems so ridiculous. And it's not the POTUS that's the ridiculous part of all this, it's the levels and extent of the criticism. A right-ish moderate POTUS, a dead teenager, and a slightly overweight lass, have somehow conspired to destroy everything that is good about America. What's the common theme? I'm sure there is a word that describes the dynamic...I've got it somewhere in the back of my memory, or on the tip of my tongue...

TIL that domestic spying is a new thing that only Democrats are guilty of. Thanks, conservative memers.

I love it when Republicans discover civil liberties when we have a Democrat in the White House.

And I suppose they now want us to only say "the 'C' word".

Gene Roddenberry is going to climb out of his grave and phaser-vaporize whomever made the Nichole Richards meme.

What just happened?

Have you heard the latest conspiracy theory? Obama is already positioning shock troops in America's cities in preparation for the race riots that will follow Zimmerman's acquittal -- race riots engineered by the same government-controlled media that pulled the strings to get Zimmerman charged in the first place. Obama's troops will crush the black rioters, winning the praise and support of white Americans as he uses the riots as a pretext to suspend the Constitution.

I'm not sure whose conspiracy theory this is, but it's frighteningly plausible.

Here I thought it was only about domestic spying, so I brought this (http://jwz.livejournal.com/1914886.html) to add to the fun.

Then I clicked the MOAR. Big mistake. Yikes.
