Now that you know a little bit about Jim, Janet, Chloe, Alice, Kathleen and Lawrence can you guess what they have in common? If you said they are members of the Cult of Obama, you guessed correctly. I dislike the word dumb, but none other comes to mind. How dumb can the press be if they are using their power of swaying public opinion by insulting not only people with that amount of experience in government, but also with proven levels of intelligence shown by their achievements? Media started the Obama as Rock Star rhetoric ball rolling and it seems the unthinking masses have followed their lead, even among Associated Content writers who parrot whatever the latest words they read somewhere have lead them to believe.
