They assumed the person was a Democrat.
Then people like SWTX and me come along and it blurs people's categories and confuses their brains. They weren't using their brains, in the first place.

I agree with you that America is finally coming off of the Obama cloud. They should never have gotten on that cloud in the first place because it overrode many people's ability to think clearly and critically. Many were so busy trying to LIKE Obama.
Obama intentionally marketed off of his reputation as a great speaker (which I still don't see). He ran his mouth and made a lot of promises to a DESPERATE population. I knew those promises wouldn't pan out anytime soon, if at all, and that wasn't just the cynic in me who doesn't believe in liking presidents. That was realism. But a lot of people acted like a change was going to come relatively quickly and Obama and his crew didn't focus on the waiting game of change enough. Much of this isn't Obama's fault, just as much of what happened during Bush's administration wasn't his fault, but people don't want to admit that because it's supposedly coolererer to dislike Bush. All in all, I'm not blaming Obama for what's happening in a general sense. I'm blaming him for running his mouth with all of his rhetoric conferences and playing the "make believe game." This is a better thread now that we've gotten over Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
