I dont think it is Obama, just the mindset of the party core. They have a bunker mentality. It is "them" against "us" and unfortunately, despite their protestations, the "US" is short for the USA.

It doesn't surprise me that Obama appeals to the bitter, he's nothing but a bitter racist himself.

Oh please, I am soo sick of brainless republicans arguing "I want to have a beer with that guy, so there should be no problem with him having NUCLEAR LAUNCH CODES!"

Face facts, the Bush disaster will cost this country decades of time and TRILLIONS of dollars to recover from.  He will easily be the worst President and arguably the worst American in the history of this country.

No it won't, and Jimmy Carter (hanging with his Hamas buddies) easily holds that honor.

But I find it interesting how people like yourself complain about federal dollars, but yet Obama supports the Global Poverty Act (international welfare), more entitlement programs, and socialized healthcare. 

 

And I'm really tired of hearing Obama-bots tell us how great of a cult leader he is.

Better than giving the launch codes to a bimbo that does not know what sniper fire is.   

Or better yet, a bot that does not know what button to push when voting on pork!   

Or a smirking chimpanzee who was blissfully unaware that because of his pampered existence that the price of gas was forecasted to reach $4/gallon.

Sounds like the rantings of a mindles democrat to me. Tell me, have you ever had an original thought? Or are you fat and happy just repeating taglines fed you by the DNC?

This is pretty basic psychology. I can understand people might not like the idea that it's easy to manipulate groups through playing to their fears, but it happens and there doesn't seem to be an advantage in denying it.

Why is it so contentious for Obama to state a simple truth about human nature?

Cacto has it right. What he said is actually true and there is no real reason to dispute it.
He seems like a guy who could work with both sides of the house but I won't vote for a Democrat solely because of their 2nd Amendment Stand.
Obama's state of Illinois is almost as bad as Mass or Cali when it comes to limiting Gun Owner's rights so I would vote for someone who is weak on ownership rights (McCain) before a phony Military Supporter (hillary) or someone who thinks that his home state has reasonable gun laws.

See, my bitterness has made me a one issue voter! But hey I pay my taxes!

But I can't help but notice that he NEVER said anything like this when he was talking to peoplel in his home state of Illinois.

You need to start blogging about other things, ID. You're starting to sound like a right-wing version of Col. Gene - the only difference is the crowd of sycophants now pants with you instead of against you.

Too late! Kerry lost!   

And any competant Psychologist will tell you that generalizations are the bastardization of the profession. That is one possible explanation, but with no more to go on, it is a statement by an incompetant (or layman) hack who is trying to get air time, not address and understand a situation. Especially not when talking about groups of people instead of an individual.

It is called Psychology, not Psychohistory for a reason.

Hey idiotboy, your buffoonish overlord GW is already on tape saying he hadn't heard ANYTHING about gas prices.

There go those 3 fingers again! You really should be kinder to yourself.
