- Chris Matthews has a very short memory for very short memoirs (3)
  - danybhoy: KQ, Obama is an idea, & if you just believe in it, it shall be so. Nevermind the fact he has never run anything in his life, that he was more or less a backbecher in the IL state assembley, or that he had less then 6 months as a US Senator before declaring his Presidential run. All...

- Biden says ObamaCare is just toooo complicated to be understood by someone with your limited intelligence (14)
  - danybhoy: So who helped shape the minds of all of those blind, ignorant, nieve sheep? Mainly the public schools & the NEA, all of which are hard left politically. Guys like Biden need the masses to be dumb, otherwise nobody would look to them for leadership.
