Marc A. Thiessen, certainly not as perky and hawt as Tiffany A. Thiessen (though, Marc certainly has a more steady gig), puts it all in perspective
Much attention has been paid in recent days to a poll by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life showing that 18 percent of Americans incorrectly believe that President Obama is a Muslim. But the results of another Pew poll on religion released last December were far more shocking. It turns out that 36 percent of Democrats claim to have communed with the dead, and that 19 percent believe in casting a curse on someone using the “evil eye.” Think about that: According Pew, more Democrats believe in the “evil eye” than Americans believe Obama is a Muslim.
The fact is you can find 20 percent of people anywhere who believe in almost anything. As The Post’s Aug. 22 Outlook section noted, 20 percent of Americans believe that space aliens have made contact with humans on Earth.
He also, to take the fun out of it, points out that Team Barry should be more concerned with the 55% who think he is a raging socialist, not too mention Obama’s tanking ratings, and Obama’s tanking economic policies. Heck, even in liberal Portland, Oregon, 21% believe he’s a Muslim. Weird. But, hey, cranks are everywhere!

(but, thanks for the pics )
But what gets me, is that 25% of Americans think Obama is doing a great job. WTH?!!?!?
So, these are those people who got let out of the psycho wards decades ago when they lost their fundings. Remember those stories of them walking the streets and unable to get their meds anymore?
It’s never too early or late to do Rule 5!
