When Candidate Bill Clinton was running in ’92, he generated intense dislike in me. Every time I saw him on TV, I wanted to jump through the screen and knock that constant smirk off his face. It really irritated me.

I have that same type of reaction to Obama, only by 100 fold. I saw Clinton for the sleaze of a man he is from the git go, but I never questioned his knowledge of our country, its core values of patriotism and pride, or that he loved the country. We might not have been on the same side politically, but at least I knew he knew what my side was. With Obama, all I do is question where his true loyalties lie. He seems to be embarrassingly uninformed about this country and the people who make it strong and viable. I believe him to be a communist sympathizer. And most of all, I think all you have to do is feed his ego and he’ll dance to whatever tune you play as long as there is a payoff for him as well. His puppet masters have promised his ego the presidency, but who is really going to be calling the shots? The Chicago political machine? George Soros? Or some foreign interest? The longer the campaign runs, the more unsure of the answer I get.
