Ain't welfare great?

Take another look at the photo. That appears to be a typical cell phone style with the screen on top. Narrow keyboard area = not crackberry.
 
1. It looks like a pretty standard phone. The price and the brand are your fantastic inventions, not anything based on fact. Nothing a conservative does is based on fact.

2. A soup kitchen is run by charity, not government.

3. You can't even tell us whether or not he actually was served soup. This was another one of your inventions.

Good point. Let's end all welfare and just have soup kitchens and homeless shelters with 40 square feet per inmate. But to get in line for soup you have to have a BMI under the acceptable medical minimum.

Another point you miss is that Michelle serving them is not free. The amount of tax payer money for transportaion and protection is likely pretty pricey.

The photo-op is what counts though :(

It is free to the ones being served. Someone always pays for everything. Have you not figured that out yet?

Petty partisan pickery.

It is petty. Is is also hypocritical for liberals to get so skirt twisting protective when the Obama's photo-ops are snikered at and picked apart. After years of libs doing it to the Bush's turn-about-is-fair-play.

I guess so, Bush had made how many appearances at this point in his presidency?

The Bush's made how many appearances at this point? Pretty pointless question when it is put into the perspective of how often they were excoriated and the level of degradation that Bush received.

Irony?

Extremely conservative and authoritarian attitudes may lead ... to an actively hostile or dominant approach to dealing with socially sanctioned scapegoats and devalued out-groups (and) may lead to a more passively submissive or deferential posture toward authorities, which would make its subscribers ideal candidates to follow the next Hitler or Mussolini. Thus, extreme right-wing attitudes "lock" people into a " dominance submissive authoritarian embrace".

"People embrace political conservatism (at least in part) because it serves to reduce fear, anxiety and uncertainty; to avoid change, disruption and ambiguity; and to explain, order and justify inequality among groups and individuals."

To come to this conclusion the authors examined 88 different psychological studies conducted between 1958 and 2002 that involved 22,818 people from 12 different countries. They boiled that information down into a number of psychological attributes that are closely associated with people who are politically conservative.

Numerous studies have also shown that conservative policymakers entertain less cognitively complex thoughts than their liberal or moderate counterparts. A study of speeches made in the House of Commons in 1984 found that "the most integratively complex politicians were moderate socialists." Their complexity of thought was found to be significantly higher than that of extreme socialists, moderate conservatives or extreme conservatives. Similarly, in the United States, a study of speeches on the floor of the Senate in 1975 and 1976 found that senators with liberal or moderate voting records exhibited significantly more complex thinking than their conservative counterparts.

I have said for years that cons were binary thinkers. Either this or that/ white or black.
And liberals were analog thinkers. Parts of this and that and some other things as well. Shades of gray.

The old either for us or against us rhetoris is illustrative of the binary thinking process.

Recently Michelle Obama went to serve food to the homeless at a government funded soup kitchen.

Cost of a bowl of soup at homeless shelter $000 dollars
Having Michelle Obama Serve you your soup $0.00 dollars
Snapping a picture of a homeless person who is receiving government funded meal while taking a picture of the first lady using his $500 Black Berry cell phone $$$$ Priceless

Jeezus, you're such a neocon stooge it's pathetic.

Who told you that was a $500 BlackBerry cell phone? Oh that's, right.....you or some neocon blogger just guessed.

Like I said before, when ALL you whiny little neocon numbskulls give back those two welfare (aka stimulus) checks the Shrub handed out, THEN I'll take you seriously. Until then, you lost an election fair and square, and history has rendered the Shrub & company a disaster. Grow up and deal.

Only a fool would try an old lame ploy to avoid the reason why I ridicule the post. Besides, when I try to debate honestly and logically with you, you just devolve to this idiocy anyway....so why waste time?

The question still stands, mastermind......who told you that this was a $500 Blackberry cell phone? You are aware that there are more than one company that makes similar looking models WITHOUT the same functions?

Jeez, you're still burning about that humiliation I caused you by just proving you wrong? So much so that your still taking things out of context to suit your BS. Haven't you learned by now, bunky? People can click back on the post and see what a liar you are. Learn to read, deal with reality, or get some therapy.
