That sums up most of my views about Obama.blakfayt said:Obama is just a dick who wants to put you in jail for having torrent on your computer and sue the guys who made it. These people you speak of are ignorant of things in this world and their blatant gum-flappery will simply make gamers look like racist assholes.
I encounter these people all the time, mainly ignorant US Republicans bordering on fascist themseslves.andrew21 said:Ok now I live in Canada and I have heard some of my US friends and other people in the US that I don't really know(online game stuff)say that Obama is a Fascist and a Communist.
Also this. Visited DC, everyone (the locals, the nutters, tour guides, awesome clothes shop dude, cute girls descending upon our accents, hell, even including the people working the stand I bought an amazing Steak Sub Sandwich from) All know a shitload about US and international politics. All genuinely awesome people.BiscuitTrouser said:Not all americans are ignorant, ive met a fair share of very well informed americans, this is what i see in the media and it makes my blood boil. These people bearly register as people for me. They are ignorant to the point of becoming parasites and are an infection in a normal society.
I agree, which is why I can't fully hate Bush, Clinton or any other president we've had.Dilapsor said:Hit the nail on the head here. Most Americans think that position of president is a sort of Olympian throne from which he issues edicts and has absolute power. In fact, the president is merely part of a HUGE bureaucracy, has little direct power, is crucified every time he opens his mouth by one side or the other, and has literally dozens, if not hundreds, of items on his agenda EVERY DAY. When the news isn't talking about it, it's very easy to forget about our collapsing eonomy, TWO foreign wars, legislature that isn't "newsworthy", and the hundreds of other things that go on that we are simply not able or allowed to understand.
To really understand what it is to be president, enter a job for which you haven't been trained, have 150 supervisors shouting orders at you, a dozen or so assignments to complete by the end of the day, and all while keeping your cool and trying to please everyone.
Brilliantly stupid instead of stupidly brilliant. Gotta love wordplay!Jamash said:I think those people get confused by the term National Socialist Party, and by the facts that Hussein and Hitler both begin with H, that both Saddam and Hitler had moustaches and that Obama's middle name isHitlerHussein.
The people who say such things are both idiots and geniuses at the same time... but like the polar opposite of an autistic savant.

You figured it out! People are retarded and easily trickedandrew21 said:isn't fascism one extreme of the political scale and communism the other?
Which becomes really confusing when you consider that most schools apparently have a 'liberal' slant towards politics, at least, in the higher education spheres. Can't comment on primary education these days, really, but when I was in primary school politics were almost a "no go" for most teachers, outside of social studies, and that didn't go beyond a recitation of history. Many are too afraid of a backlash (which happen often) for espousing one view or the other. It's a tightrope, and most teachers won't take the risk to walk that line.Littlee300 said:The US education teaches about the government styles and how they work (at least, mine did) and your British, so I think your just pulling the "education thing" out of nowhere.Ubermetalhed said:People who use these terms regarding Obama are complete and utter idiots. Actually they are beyond stupid.
I blame US education and the media for instilling these misconceptions.
