Obama's Domestic Policy

125 Shot Dead In Chicago Over Summer
Total Is About Double The U.S. Troop Death Toll In Iraq

Obama, the man that wants to become in charge of the war in Iraq can't even keep his own constituents from killing each other at twice the rate of deaths in a war zone. Ummm, yeah. Let's just keep your particular expertise on safety away from our troops, okay Barack?

Who's trying to create myths now?

Polly TickedOff said...

LOL. What myth? He is an Illinois Senator who wants to be responsible for national security. He can't even keep the south side of Chicago safe.

Doc Brown said...

I take it then Sarah Palin is responsible for those in her state who club baby seals?

Polly TickedOff said...

Responsible? Hell, she probably is one of them. Mind you though, she'll know how to skin it and then take it home for a hat and a stew dinner. That's my kind of girl.

The flaws in your deflection abound.

Should we discuss that or the fact that Obama isn't responsible for police work in Chicago?

Or should we discuss the fact that Obama wouldn't be able to pull out the police in Chicago in his current position, but he would be able to pull our troops out of Iraq as President?

Or should we discuss how this topic was a non-starter to begin with?

"A Blog for the moderate American who is tired of the media telling us what to think and how to vote."

How can you accept such an obvious non sequitor of information from mainstream media telling you what to think to influence your vote?

Especially when the "related slideshows" listed in the margin consist of:

Jessica Simpson: Then & Now
Coolest Fighter Jets ... EVER!
Britney Spears, Then To Now
Hottest Celebrity Moms

Need I go on with what the mainstream media thinks of you?

Hey now Patrick. You are the one that mentioned the seals. ;)

You are right of course. Obama is not responsible for the police work in Chicago. My post was merely a little tongue-in-cheek poke at Obama. It was about as realistic as the claims made by people who think that Sarah would make a bad VP because her daughter got pregnant.

I could start a little war with you about how the places with the highest crime statistics have the largest liberal populations, but we both know that that would just be a spitting contest. I'm up for it if you are, ha ha.

I think its more like what the main stream media thinks of the people who live in Chicago. That's who the cbs2chicago.com site is reporting the story to. Chicago, the last working Democratic machine in the country.

Nah, as I said in my other post, I have given up on politics as a venue for serious discussion. I give it the Silver medal honors for topics that you bring up if you're looking for a fight.

This is the type of article I was referring to way back in May in my own blog about the media reporting through the use of broken logic. I never did bother seeking out any articles for that purpose, perhaps I'll revisit that discussion using this one as an example.

The more I think about the analogy this article tries to present the more annoying I find it. Sadly, people eat this shit up because thinking beyond what is written, and recognizing that the prima facie case for the analogy fails from a multitude of simple observations is clearly too much work.
