"I don't like Obama's policies, but I like him as a person"...

makes not one bit of sense.

Ever so often I run up against that statement, usually by someone who doesn't want to appear "judgmental."  What it really means is that a person and his actions are two separate entities.  It means our current president can insult the majority of the people in this country by calling them terrorists and bitter-clingers, advocate for the death of infants born alive after a botched abortion, and spend our federal tax dollars to fund abortions in other countries.  He can consider the continued funding of Planned Parenthood, again with our tax dollars, to be a top tier requirement for the good of the nation.

How can he refuse, at whim, to carry out the laws of this country such as DOMA and spend millions of our tax dollars to fly around the country campaigning for his re-election, hand out our money to a company like Solyndra that was doomed to failure from the beginning, embarrass us on the international stage, and still be a likable fellow?
 
How exactly is that possible?

Is he fun to chat with at a cocktail party?  Does he have a sharp crease in his pants?  Do you think he's "cute" or a good speaker?  I have a newsflash for all you squishy folks who think a person's actions are a separate matter from who they are.  A person's actions tell us exactly who they are and the Obamas are clearly not worthy of being liked.

Well said, Adrienne. One can also judge a person by his friends. Look back at who Obama's friends have been and one sees that they were all Marxist. There is nothing to like about this man.
I forgot that part.  Thanks to ConF for reminding us.
