(These people don't want to speak up because they are afraid to admit they paid in cash for the Golden Gate bridge.) The same people had the same empty responses when Rahm Emanuel stated that he didnt want to waste a good crisis.
- The people that zealously campaigned for anyone BUT president 0bama have already been written off as either radical conservatives or outright racists. These people speak up all of the time, tea parties, town hall meetings, calling in to vent on talk radio shows... but again, they just sing to the choir because they have already been written off as angry, racist, radical conservatives that are mad that their candidate didn't win.
- Like the emperors new clothes: no one wants to admit they dont see his "robe" So at the end of the day: no one is fooled, in fact most of us aren't even surprised. The masses have gotten used to the government teat and dont want to make waves. Did anyone really expect him to execute his office from anywhere close to center? Hell, he grew up in Hawaii... isn't that located to the far left of California?
Spot on, every last word.
