It's bill o'reilly claiming that people who vote for obama want "stuff" and will vote for "stuff." Hispanics "want stuff" and so do blacks and women apparently.

It couldn't possibly be because we don't agree with the theocon and neocon agendas (white male establishment?!), or that we don't think that the current process that the republicans have been utilizing in congress to stymie any forward progress could be part of the problem, or that we simply think that this man would make a better president for our nation?

No, we're ignorant gits who want "stuff." And if we were smart, and were willing to work for our own "stuff" then of course we would vote mitt romney!
I was watching O'Reilly live when he said that. I can see how it would be offensive to the other side. It is incredibly simplistic. But sorry, I also think there's a ton of truth in it for many Obama supporters, certainly not all. Perhaps not even a majority of Obama voters--yet. It's not yet a majority who expect the "stuff." But it will be, the tide has turned and the tipping point is past, I think.

If you don't think stuff is important, just look here on this website at the first posts celebrating his reelection where there is reference to the stuff he's bringing with his administration.There were many reasons to reelect the President and his gift basket, bigger than Mitt Romney's, was one of them.

I liked what O'Reilly said that the overriding POV is: what can my government give to me? Not John Kennedy's idea of what can we do for our country? I don't know if that part played on the O'Reilly clip above.

I generally like what Bill O'Reilly says, he makes sense to me, but keep in mind that I probably see him only 2 -3 times a year so I don't see him often enough to get sick and tired of hearing him.
