    I’ll condescend some more… what the fuck is your point? Exactly, he was a constitutional professor before being the president, and before lecturing the Nobel committee on his presidential duties.

    He stood on the world stage and spoke truth to others who know more than either of us and told them what was happening. Do you really pretend that guy was the idiot in the room and you know more?

    I mentioned “president” because he walked right up and said to that committee and said “president comes with baggage”

      I think you are responding to the wrong person. Maybe you meant to respond to OP above me. I mostly definitely mention him being a law professor in support of him knowing what he is talking about.

      Edit: for the record, I’ll just say, trying to get your point across the way you are talking isn’t going to work regardless of who it was meant for. You’re just going to push them to either dig their heals in, or walk away from the conversation.

        I am responding to you but also the general argument. To better make the point, Obama isn’t the issue, he’s not the problem and making him the issue is missing the point. So take it personal or not…

          Im not taking it personal. I am trying to tell you that being abrasive and calling people idiots isn’t going to change anybodies mind, though, it seems you are speaking to the chorus with your argument, and you don’t even realize it.
