Listen Mr. "Coffee Shop Guy", I don't care about your opinion on Obama or Republicans or anything, I just want my coffee.

If I wanted to, I would point out that they gave him a peace prize with less then a year into his administration and that his country is still in a recession and that we elected him to get us out of said recession and that they also gave a Nobel Peace Prize to Yassar Arafat, a man who did more to hurt the Mideast peace process then anyone who ever drove a bulldozer through a West Bank house.

I could also tell the gentleman that all politicians, Obama included are focused more on getting re-elected then substantive changes because substantive changes don't actually help you get re-elected. I could point out that our previous president was a micromanaging moron but that's no excuse to declare Obama some sort of superman until we see him actually DO something.

I could inform him that this country just went through eight of the most difficult years in it's history and that political partisanship was partly to blame and that going around deliberately trying to goad people into a fight doesn't help anybody.

I could politely inform him that whatever his political party might be, the people on the other side of the aisle have just as much right to their opinion as anyone else and that saying things like "We should just let Cheney shoot them" or something like that is really very insensitive.

I could tell this guy a lot of things, like how political debate in this country requires actual debate, not talking heads yelling across the airwaves or habitual pot users talking about stuff that even guys with PhDs don't understand or Rednecks making freedom fries or movie stars aping for the camera or anything like that.

But telling this guy what a brainless asshole he is will NOT get me my coffee any sooner and since I have no intention to debate pointless shit with people I don't know, I just want to take my fucking coffee and leave.
