The United States of Obama


Some people are just _______ (insert appropriate adjective).

During Obama's campaign visit to Ohio, he appeared in front of a row of flags. Those with some matter of intelligence (or logic, or deductive reasoning) would realize that the pattern of flags included the American flag and the Ohio state flag.

But, noooooooooooo.

Conservative radio host, Bob Grant, thought the flag was Obama's recreation of the American flag with the 'O' at the center. His call-in listeners fueled speculation that Obama was going to ruin our great country. A conservative blogger received emails from outraged conservatives. Do we really want our country led by a dictator?

Too bad Obama's not a dictator. Too bad the conspiracy-crazed conservatives couldn't distinguish the state flag of Ohio from a made-up Obamanation flag.

Which brings me back to my first sentence. What adjective would work best there?

Crazy. Insane. Looney. Paranoid. Fearful. Illogical. Dumb.
