I think you hit the nail on the head - they don't care abt all of the issues with Obama. He really is like a cult leader - they will find any way possible to dismiss ANYTHING negative abt him (don't get me started) IF they have even listened to anything that isn't glowing and reverential. It is so disturbing - from people who should know better. The exact same ones who, like me, bitched and complained at Bush. Now they have their OWN Bush, and they have become the very people they hated for 8 years. Remarkable, isn't it??<BR/><BR/>Anyway - I can so understand from where you are coming, and I am glad the videos helped. I am sure your kitty enjoye dthe hug!<BR/><BR/>In case you didn't see this over at NQ, my cousin had sent me the following video, too. My partner was laughing so hard, she was crying (ok - we had also been traisping all over Disney World and were tired, but still - it is SO catlike!).

Which was mostly a lovely day spent with friends, except for a bit of Obama-reverence (I, of course, the only non-supporter). I think what finally got to me was realizing, as I offered all my reasons for not being a member of the Obama Reverence Club (which you so eloquently stated a few days ago: <I>arrogant misogynistic lying race-baiter with nefarious associates who tarnished a former president as racist</I>) that it wasn't that these folks didn't know who Obama is or that he had accomplished nothing in his past (one woman acknowledged freely that he hadn't done anything at all in his 7 years as a state legislature), it's that they didn't care!<BR/><BR/>I was told that he has accomplished the most important thing - he has shifted the energy of the country and given people hope for all that's possible. That was all that mattered. And, when I tried to explain there was a shadow energy as well, I was told that I seemed angry he had won.<BR/><BR/>And then, everyone turned away and began discussing something else, since I obviously wasn't going to become a member of the O.R.C. and my anger was too annoying to have to deal with.<BR/><BR/>So, feeling a little down today, watching those two videos just brightened my morning. And now, I'm going to wake my kitty up from his nap and give him a hug!SFIndiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08795270119487350149noreply@blogger.com
