“I have to say, why people hate you? And, and, why, you, they ‘posed to love you, and God is love, and…”
Since I am a people, I feel eminently qualified to answer this question.
Please note that I’m speaking strictly for myself, since other, equally-qualified people of peopleness may have differing reasons for hating the player instead of the game.
* He has big, flapping, sticky-out chimp ears, but I’m not allowed to CALL them “chimp” ears, because that’s [mocking, high-pitched voice] “raaaacist!”
* For the same reason I hated Bill Clinton – he married a bitter, shrewish harridan who is unencumbered by even a tincture of fashion sense.
* His communications director can call Mao a “political philosopher” with a straight face.
* He said, regarding the boy asking the question, “I’m gonna let him use my special mike”. Didn’t his safe schools czar say that, too?
* I just can’t forgive Obama for saying that slavery had its merits. I mean, I understand he was speaking off the cuff and was just trying to make a larger point and everyone gaffes once in a while, but damn… there IS a line, dude.
* The constant televised speeches that pre-empt crappy network programs so that I have to listen to people who actually watch that garbage whine about how they couldn’t watch their shows. Read a book, people!
* He DIDN’T really caboose-check that Brazillian chick. Is he a freakin’ eunuch?
* He’d look completely awesome with an Evil Spock goatee, but he refuses to grow one.
* He wasted perfectly good sodium silicate in destroying the engines of Cash for Clunkers trade-ins, instead of using it for its correct purpose: Magic Rocks.
* He’s a f@#$ing socialist.
Since nobody else hates Obama, I don’t expect there will be any comments on this post, but if you want to hate me for being a hater, have at it.
P.S. I also hate the media outlets that decided to put a grammar-corrected version of the kid’s words in quotes instead of quoting what he ACTUALLY said (like *ahem* I did).
