Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

USA Today is headline and link only.
Below is an excerpt of the transcript via Time of the interview David Axelrod did with CNN's John King last night that is the basis for the USA Today headline.
KING: A man who served in the White House under George W. Bush, Michael Gerson, wrote an op-ed piece in "The Washington Post" today under the headline, "Obama the Snob." And he used a quote from the president at a Democratic fundraiser recently in Massachusetts, where the president said, "Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now and fact and science and argument do not seem to be winning the day all the time, is because we're hard-wired not to always think clearly and we are scared and the country is scared."
He went on to make the case that that was arrogant, that the president was saying that people out there who think Washington is spending too much money or people out there who think the president should have focused on jobs from the get go and maybe not health care so early on, that it was an insult to them.
Do you see it that way? Is the president a snob?
AXELROD: No. I think the president was stating what is obvious, which is this has been a very tough time.
The policies that Mr. Gerson worked so hard to put in place in the Bush administration created an economic disaster that we haven't seen since the Great Depression, and we've been about the business of trying to deal with the aftermath of that. It created devastation -- millions of jobs lost, millions of homes lost, people lost their savings. And there is -- there is the aftermath of that that has impacted on people across the country. So, of course that enters into how people -- how people view things, and I think that's -- that's obvious.
Now, in terms of focusing on the economy, I wish we had had -- you know, one of the things that I -- I always think back to is the day that the president went up to Capitol Hill to talk to the Republican House Caucus about where we should go with the Recovery Act. And on the way up there, they released a statement saying they were going to vote unanimously against it before he even had a chance to talk to them.
So I wish Mr. Gerson would use his influence as a Republican strategist and operative to speak to the leaders of his own party about getting together and working together to solve the problems of this country.
A slob of an islamist.
Il Douche!!
AXELROD: No. He is an effete elite.
“Facts and science and argument” is the parasite wrapped around the brainstem of your typical Marxist/communist that keeps them from thinking in any other way except the collectivist way. If only we use the right facts, and the right science, and the right arguments (though it may take a few bullets, too), we can create the perfect society. We will know exactly how many shoes we need to make in the next five years, how much beef to raise, and how much wheat to grow. I doubt very much that the facts/science/argument phrase was programmed into 0bama’s teleprompter. 0bama probably chants “facts, science, argument” in his sleep. If you are against his agenda then you are against “facts, science, and [his supremely rational] argument, and are therefore stupid. And un-cooperative. And perhaps in need of psychiatric evaluation. And a transfer to Siberia.
“He’s a snake in the grass I tell ya guys. He may look dumb, but that’s just a disguise. He’s a mastermind in the ways of espionage...”
“The economic policies that” the DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS (with obummer right in it up to his eyeballs as a senator) “put in place created the disaster that we are facing today . . .” mr. axelrod.
We always yield the platform to leftist narrative when it comes to truth and reality? We must snap out of that bad habit. NEVER give the ground to their false lying scam fables. Always challenge it.
He’s not a snob. He’s a bisexual, muslim, anti-American, socialist, Kenyan-born snob.
For someone who isn’t a snob, we sure are getting to know the inside of his nostrils.
But according to Obama, we are hardwired to not think clearly if we oppose his agenda. Or some Dmocrats saying their policies are too difficult and complicated for average Americans to possibly understand. That’s the classic trait of a snob.
Sorry Axelrod, nobody’s buying what you’re trying to sell.
Of course not. He just thinks, talks, and acts like one.
Ok, I can believe Barak Sr is not his father but where does your idea that Stanley Ann is not his mother come from?
yitbos
In the liberal mind, what is fact and what is science tend to be something other than fact and science.
Like Algore's inconvenient "truth"...
