It doesn't matter that he has governed to the right of an Eisenhower Republican.

It doesn't matter he's given them everything they've asked for; socialism for the rich, poverty for the rest of us.

They really, really think that they are genetically and intellectually superior to the rest of us, and the position of the Presidency is for one of their own. These are truly the most arrogant people on the planet.

If you can gut it, listen to Rush, Hannity, or any right wing mouthpiece. They make it painfully apparent.
