a choice between two a choice between two *equally* undesirable outcomes..

No way on Earth is it a choice between two equally undesirable outcomes. If you think Romney is anywhere near as bad as Obama, you really have a lot to learn about Obama, his handlers, mentors, associates, friends.

No, I don't think that, nor did I specifically say that. I was trying to point out the difference between Hobson's Choice and Morton's Fork, which are often confused. I said the parody newspaper story presented a dilemma that was "more of" one than the other, in a comparative, not absolute sense.

I don't need to learn any more about Obama. I have been watching and listening to him for years. I was one of the first on FR to point out how dangerous he was, back in the day when Obama was kind of a joke on FR, and the consensus was that "people would never vote for him" for President. I'll admit I was more sure that Hillary was going to be the 'Rat nominee, but when Obama steamrollered her it simply vindicated my belief of how dangerous a shyster Obama really is.
