Bah. I don't need to be schooled by Olbermann. His language is condescending and his thesis is, in my estimation, wrong.

Care to enlighten us as to how exactly you think he is wrong?

I'm of the opinion that our esteemed president should find out what it feels like to be on the recieving end of condescending language every once in a while. Might remind him he's a human being, with human failings.

Condescending to whom?

An empty threat, for a baseless statement.

Well, you must have condescending confused with beyond you. The historical points were worded as though new information to the listener because, well, for most of the population, it is. You obviously overestimate the average persons knowledge. And the events did happen, unless history was rewritten since last I studied, which, given the administration, would not surprise. As for the comparisons, it would take a perception far too warped for me to deem important to not see them as accurate to some significant degree.
So what in the hell do you have to disprove his thesis? Do you not see history repeating itself? And do you ever think your mother may have been right when she said you should stop being perpetually contrary? Please say something to justify my having spent valuable time typing.
Oh, and if you use a criticism of my writing or myself as a rebuttle, I will slap you. Thank you for your time, and goodnight.
