Read this, it will add fuel to the fire.

The President dislikes Biden.

Watches ESPN on TV all the time.

Respects but is afraid of Hillary.

Is having marital problems.

Loves the thrill of a campaign, but not into the details of being President.

Bill Clinton runs circles around him from an intellectual stand point.  

Is a lazy President.



I'm in no way am I an Obama fan (even though I have given him props on occasion), but that article is nothing anyone should hang their hat on.
Someone get Hoss a pacifier.

No former advisor to the President would call it the "Democrat nomination," or "the Democrat Party."  In both cases, the correct usage is "Democratic," and only hardcore rightie partisans use that construction.  It's a small and crucial detail. 

Oh, aside from all that "watching ESPN all the time" bullshit.

Well a Kennedy v Reagan thing would have made sense, given that whole Democrat v Republican thing.  It's a different deal when it's from within. 

Hillary's ambitious but she doesn't have quite the will to power you or Gassy want to ascribe to her. 

I was referring to Kennedy's primary challenge of Carter

Well, maybe it's crucial to you.

Crucial in the sense that it disproves (to me) that the story is honest in the least.

It's written in much the same style celebrity gossip rags are written.

"An insider tells us..."

This insider didn't sound very connected nor close to President Obama. He/she is conveying a message though that many of us are seeing- a great campaigner who may not be very well-suited to the job and doesn't appear overly engaged at times.

I take it as just another grammar error, nothing more.

I bet they figured she was going to be the Dem nominee too.

Normally I'd agree, but the usage pops up again and again, and in very specific places. 

It's intentional.

QuoteIgnorant misnomer for Democratic Party, used by uneducated rubes and by certain cynical politicians who recognize their constituency to be made up largely of uneducated rubes.

It's because the Democrat party is full of all those darn socialists and communists, nothing democratic about it.  ;) 

Long time no see Jeff, welcome back!

Er, uh.... so what.  If that's the biggest thing you have to worry about, you're lucky.

Or...

A lot of people (myself included) get picky about the incorrect use of words.  I'll tell you what I was told here...
Get over it.

Take your choice.
