Sorry to steal it from you.

At least he’s not Lee Baca, the ultra-liberal former sheriff of Los Angeles County, whose last name sounds like the Japanese word for “idiot”.

I connected with candidate Obama on such a personal and symbolic level — not to mention a redemptive one...

In other words, he's confessing to being mentally defective, an admission which undermines completely any point he otherwise attempted to make.

Barack Obama is no more descended from slaves brought here from Africa than I am. How is that “redemptive” in any way?

Gee whiz, I’m Italian and I hate every Ginny that embraces the Democrat Party.

As a former New Yorker, the Cuomo Clan really nauseates me and they are an embarrassment to my Ethnicity.

Yes, my late father said that they called Kamikaze rocket planes “baca bombs” in WWII.

Indeed. They captured some during the battle of Okinawa.

Whiner whiner 2014 elections were finer. Seriously, this jerk lives in an alternate universe. And Italy ???? Seriously??? Who cares what they think - they need to focus on their own problems.

“Is it ironic that the author’s name translates to “cooked” in Italian?”

I don’t think so. Reading through that article and failing to find a single fact or attempt at logic (nothing but emotional assertions) convinces me that his brain is cooked.

I spent much of my time in Italy fielding questions from concerned Italians about what was going on in the States. There was concern about the flawed election results of 2000

I’m sorry. Shut up and go away. Not buying this stupid statement for one second.

The fact that America could produce and recognize such an amazing leader (Obama)validated the theory of American exceptionalism, which I’d been embracing since my Italian days.

Now that there is funny I don’t care who you are!

While in Italy, this precious snowflake should stop by the US Embassy or one of the Consulates. There he can renounce his American citizenship and free himself once and for all from all this psychological torment.

Wait, isn’t this the same Italy who sent troops to Iraq and just held the largest anti-immigration rally in Europe? This dope needs to stop drinking the bong water..

Brilliant!

You’ve given this piece the perfect embodiment: this guy is a walking chick-flick! Pajama boy about town! Masculinity by IVF!

You sir, are an inspiration.

Poor Andrew. I guess he’ll just have to move to Europe and live a latte life.
