PSYCHOLOGY 101: DENIAL AND PROJECTION

Racism Is the Prime Cause for Debunked Obama Birth Certificate Conspiracy Theory By Liliana Segura, AlterNet. Posted July 28, 2009.

While I don't have video to demonstrate, Rush Limbaugh has been stating, regularly, recently on his show that Obama is a very angry man. While he has every right to be one, I do not find him disproportionately so in any of his actions or speeches.
