20. Do you understand how closely your response approximates that of a TeaBillie?

Didn't think so.

I'll help. Let me change one word.

"Not getting into an issue by issue debate on this thread. I asked Does that mean you think Paul Ryan is evil?"

Sounds ohhh so familiar.


Edit: I apologize for being abrasive. I will never win people over by putting them on the defensive.

I'll answer your question:

President Obama is a good man and a good husband. He is ethically sound on a personal level. I believe he is sincere in that he means to help the common man. I just think he doesn't know how as evidenced by the people he surrounds himself with. He is basically a Freidman economist. He genuinely believes that ultra strong corporations benefit the working man.

Many of his policies reflect the state of our nation, which in my opinion as compared to the nation I knew long ago, is largely unethical. In other words, he is President of all of us.

With respect to the "lesser of two evils" statement. You know as well as I that it is a figure of speech. A common term used frequently even here on DU. Most people would interpret it in that context. You did not.

Now to finally answer your question. No I don't think President Obama is evil. I believe he genuinely believes he is doing the right thing. I interpret his outlook as that of satisfying those opposed and supportive of him at the same time as the most fair, ethical approach. He is trying to please everyone at the same time, his vision of being President of all the people, regardless if it is sound policy or not. Having said that, I am vehemently in disagreement with many of his policies. Because of that, I believe this basically good man is not fit for the job, but exceedingly more fit than any Republican nominee presented.
