LOL, did you truncate my entire sentence by accident? Here it is:
"

Unless you think that Shiva and Jesus are "God" (which I certainly don't), I really don't know where you are trying to go with this.

You can run, but you can't hide.


The gap between "I don't recall any Liberals "comparing him to God",...and "but hey there's crazy people all over the political spectrum."
...is big enough to drive a Mack Truck through.


There is no "spectrum".....only Liberals/ Obama supporters.

Every single one of 'em.




And, also apropos:

"The mob characteristic most gustily exhibited by liberals is the tendency to worship and idolize their political leaders.

Le Bon explained that mobs can only grasp the “very simple and very exaggerated.” Their chosen images must be absolute and uncompromising… As Le Bon says, the “primitive” black-and-white emotions of a crowd slip easily into “infatuation for an individual.”

Liberals worship so many political deities that they must refer to them by initials, just to save time- FDR, JFK, RFK, MLK, LBJ, and O.J. Ever hear a conservative get weepy about “RWR” or refer to something as hokey as “Camelot”?

Passionate adoration are the primitive emotions of a mob, sentiments generally associated with women, children, and savages, according to Le Bon."

Wow, are you joking? What do you think I am trying to "run" from, things other people say? How is a COMMA "big enough for a Mack truck to go through?

Remember Peggy Joseph?

1. She thought Obama would put gas in her car, and pay her mortgage:



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bg98BvqUvCc


2. "NEW YORK – In his new full-length documentary film, “There’s No Place Like Utopia,” Joel Gilbert found Peggy Joseph, the Florida voter who became infamous during the 2008 presidential campaign for saying Barack Obama would “pay for my gas and my mortgage.”




3. ....some six years into the Obama presidency, Joseph has turned against the president, disappointed that he did not deliver on his “hope and change” campaign promises.

4..... Joseph and her children, just like her Haitian immigrant parents, had no history of ever accepting any form of government assistance or taxpayer-funded handouts.




5. “Truth and honesty are important,” Joseph explained to Gilbert in the film. “He lied about everything.”

6. Joseph explained that after doing some research and listening more carefully to Obama, she realized he was a fraud, and “just like the Wizard of Oz, Obama has turned out to be nothing more than a man behind a curtain.”

7. She explained that her comments to a reporter in 2008 were a result of being caught up in the emotion of an Obama campaign rally, and she didn’t think for herself.




8. “In my journey through America in ‘There’s No Place Like Utopia,’ I met a lot of people living in horrible conditions, particularly African Americans, who I was surprised to learn were now staunch conservatives as a result of living in progressive-controlled cities like Detroit, Chicago and Newark,” Gilbert said.

9. “After 60 years of progressive politics in their cities, they understood very clearly that they had not been progressing but rather regressing all this time,....

10. ....Gilbert depicts Barack Obama as “the wizard” in the Land of Oz.

“The fundamental lesson of the Wizard of Oz is that there is no wizard.” Gilbert said."
Hey, Obama! Where?s my mortgage payment?

President Obama won in 2008, and in 2012. He passed the ACA, and has taken the nation from an economic disaster that nearly turned into the Second Great Republican Depression, to the strongest recovering economy on the planet. In spite of the GOP efforts to scuttle the economy, Wall Street is in record territory, unemployment is improving, and the tax reciepts are better than expected.

All you silly 'Conservatives' can do is cut and paste lies from your alternative reality echo chamber.

She did NOT say that Obama was going to do these things for her. And unless you were inside her brain at that time, there is no way you can say what she thought.

So, you lied. Color me surprised.

If you ain't got a job how does it help you if the Dow Jones Industrial Average hits 51,000?

We are now at the lowest labor participation rate in 70 years and full time employees now are at less than 50% of the labor force.
Interest rates are near 0 for investment. Where else other than for dividend returns of around 3% do investors put their $$$ for a return?
Folk without a job ain't investing shit, they have no $$$.
Obama administration has done more to lift those with $$$ over the last 6 years than any other administration in the nation's history.
And less for the poor and middle class. They need a leader and administration with business know how. This bunch of amateurs are nice guys but rank amateur executives in charge.

All you silly 'Conservatives' can do is cut and paste lies from your alternative reality echo chamber.

"....the strongest recovering economy on the planet."

1.More than 6.7 million more Americans have been plunged into poverty since Obama became President.

2.Real household income is down 5%

3. Consumer prices are up 10.2%

4. Total federal debt is up 58%

5. Gasoline prices are up 82%

6. Food stamp recipients up 49%

7. Debt held by the public is up 89%

However, the Obama administration recently projected an annual deficit of $750 billion in the fiscal year that began Oct. 1, and $626 billion the year after. At that rate, the debt owed to the public will more than double during the Obama presidency.
As of 2012, according to the most recent figures reported by the Census Bureau, median (midpoint) income for all U.S. households was $51,017, which was 4.9 percent lower (in inflation-adjusted dollars) than it was in 2008, the year before Obama took office.
The same story applies to family income, which includes many families with two earners. (The “household” figure includes single persons living alone, as well as families.) Median family income in 2012 was $62,241, or 5.1 percent below the inflation-adjusted 2008 level.
The number of persons living in poverty also worsened again in 2012, according to the most recent Census figures.

8. As of last year, 46,496,000 persons lived in households with income below the official poverty line, an increase of nearly 6.7 million since 2008 and 249,000 since 2011. The total poverty rate remained unchanged in 2012 at 15 percent of the total U.S. population. So for the second straight year, the poverty rate was 1.8 points higher than it was in 2008.

Remember Peggy Joseph?

1. She thought Obama would put gas in her car, and pay her mortgage:

2. "NEW YORK – In his new full-length documentary film, “There’s No Place Like Utopia,” Joel Gilbert found Peggy Joseph, the Florida voter who became infamous during the 2008 presidential campaign for saying Barack Obama would “pay for my gas and my mortgage.”




3. ....some six years into the Obama presidency, Joseph has turned against the president, disappointed that he did not deliver on his “hope and change” campaign promises.

4..... Joseph and her children, just like her Haitian immigrant parents, had no history of ever accepting any form of government assistance or taxpayer-funded handouts.




5. “Truth and honesty are important,” Joseph explained to Gilbert in the film. “He lied about everything.”

6. Joseph explained that after doing some research and listening more carefully to Obama, she realized he was a fraud, and “just like the Wizard of Oz, Obama has turned out to be nothing more than a man behind a curtain.”

7. She explained that her comments to a reporter in 2008 were a result of being caught up in the emotion of an Obama campaign rally, and she didn’t think for herself.




8. “In my journey through America in ‘There’s No Place Like Utopia,’ I met a lot of people living in horrible conditions, particularly African Americans, who I was surprised to learn were now staunch conservatives as a result of living in progressive-controlled cities like Detroit, Chicago and Newark,” Gilbert said.

9. “After 60 years of progressive politics in their cities, they understood very clearly that they had not been progressing but rather regressing all this time,....

10. ....Gilbert depicts Barack Obama as “the wizard” in the Land of Oz.

“The fundamental lesson of the Wizard of Oz is that there is no wizard.” Gilbert said."
Hey, Obama! Where?s my mortgage payment?

President Obama won in 2008, and in 2012. He passed the ACA, and has taken the nation from an economic disaster that nearly turned into the Second Great Republican Depression, to the strongest recovering economy on the planet. In spite of the GOP efforts to scuttle the economy, Wall Street is in record territory, unemployment is improving, and the tax reciepts are better than expected.

All you silly 'Conservatives' can do is cut and paste lies from your alternative reality echo chamber.

"....He passed the ACA,...."
