President Obama kills it at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner:

This event used to seem to barely be publicized. Since Colbert roasted Dubya and his cronies, folks have paid attention... but damn, Obama has really made it fun, sometimes with his own contributions. I'm impressed.

and the whole "moving back in with your parents" started, in droves, around 2003-2004 and has escalated in the past years

And... why is Ron Paul still in the race? He only has, what, one delegate at the Republican convention.

Paul is there because he wants his message to get out

a message no one is listening to....when the mainstream media (on both sides) openly mocks him during broadcasts, how can anyone take him seriously?

This crap reminds me of the whole teleprompter mantra. It was nothing more than the Right trying to trivialize one of Obama's greatest strengths, his oratory skills. Whether delivering a speech, participating in a debate, doing a townhall meeting or a Q & A interview, President Obama is nuanced, well spoken and can speak substantively on a wide range of issues. So to combat that they perpetuated the myth that Obama is only good in front of a teleprompter, which is absurd.

President Obama has made many substantive arguments to the American people, but instead of addressing those head on they focus all of the attention like a laser on Obama playing the "cool" card.

Most libertarians, at least in the generation after Paul are not nearly as racist as Paul has been. greedy and self centered yes but racism is not the intent. Rand Paul is a tea-bagger that fake being libertarian when it suits his need

To a large extent it seems to be abotu giving hsi son a leg-up: supposedly he did a deal with Romeny whereby Paul Sr. splits the conservative vote in exchange for a senior job for Paul Jr.
