9. That to me was the ultimate betrayal/idiocy

Obama saved the entire US auto industry when the republicans were screaming to let it die!

Democrats saved their asses and they turned around and kicked us in the nads for it!

Well now they will see how much the **cking GOP loves their working class asses! See you in the unemployment lines guys.

Oh and your friends in the GOP will be harassing you and drug testing you every second you are there struggling to survive, count on that!
