I would have to agree. Look at the numbers of people who not only voted for Obama (twice) but still defend the arrogant little turd. He's actively trying to destroy this country, and his sycophants still defend him -- not the sharpest pencils in the box if you ask me.

Many years of inferior education has brought us to this point. Thank you, John Dewey and friends.
