| 58. Again, I never said I dismissed his entire record |
|
I simply do not feel as confident in his support. I don't think he's a homophobe or a bad person, but I do think that his handling of the dingbat Donnie scandal showed he doesn't quite get it. If he didn't 'get it' then, I have less confidence that he'll 'get it' next time. See?
|
| -Ok, I gotta ask. What "change" is Obama truly offering, and what does "hope" have to do with it? |
