For instance, Obama is known to behave petulantly when an event is not about him. There he managed to get the news to talk about him exactly because of his gum chewing. But speaking of his petulance and incompetence is not forbidden, and in fact has become fashionable now that the Dems need to regain some credibility both before the November election and 2016. So, you see there is reason to be shocked that his mind drifted to conspiracy right off.<br /><br />(I live in a very extreme Left area. I know one guy who is openly statist and two who still call themselves communist. I only just met Bob and he me. I don't know if he is Left or not, but he may have felt I was testing him, so that could be the reason he went into denial mode so swiftly.)<br /><br />The point I wished to make was not that there is a certainty of the knee jerk reaction, only that it happened so quickly. It might be interesting to test it elsewhere and see how fast you get a similar reaction. If you do, tell them "I only thought he has been acting childishly lately." I betcha they'll sign on to that -- in relief.Pascalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303025432356543062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8851395.post-80003527361382825692014-06-11T14:50:18.420-07:002014-06-11T14:50:18.420-07:00Dunno, Pasc.

I can see him jumping to that after you inferred Obama was disrespectful on purpose. <br />BTW, I think it was nicorette.<br />Coulda been marinol :)<br />Ed Bonderenkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03724552853113809036noreply@blogger.com
