Some of the stupidest people I've ever met were well educated and did not have once of common sense.
As far as Obama knowing how to undo the damage of the Bush presidency, did he also promise to walk on water.
AU:
Ditto! I worked in a thinktank for 20 years, AT&T. I had a rude awakening, being a Southerner, in that, I met some brownskinned people, who weren't African-American, but rode on the backs of the civil rights movement, so many had given their lives for. These, (non-Blacks), (Jamaicans), had taken advantage of anything, African-Americans, had gained through suffering and humiliation, yet turned and told me one day, "I have a country and you don't"! To which, I answered, well on my birth certificate, it states, the city and state, I was born in, making me an American Citizen, 5 generations, removed, since my people have been here since 1619! You see, in his ignorance, he stereotyped Blacks, by thinking, we didn't study our history. We do! Since I also know geography, I asked, "So why are you here"? Answer: Opportunity! I said, "Off the backs of Blacks, right"?
After some ahems, er's, well, well, etc., I said, I don't remember seeing you at any sit-ins, boycotts, etc., so you should return to your country and take your flag, with you! I then trotted off to my next meeting, proud of my heritage and always proud to call myself, American, no matter how my people, got here. Yes, there are educated fools, out there!
