103. you still do not get it
Mon Aug 5, 2013, 01:01 AM
Aug 2013

but you don't want to get it either, so I understand

the REASON, you see, that Obama could not please me AND the American public is because the American public has been lied to by the rich. And Obama, instead of using his position to inform the American public, decided to lie to them himself. He did so, so that he could pass a huge tax cut for the rich and still keep his supporters dumb and happy.

Too bad for me, that I cannot be happy because I have too much education to fall for Obama's lies and I have too much concern for the country to be happy about the harm his lies and bad policies are going to cause.

Oh but yeah, let's make a bullsh*t list of all the great things he has done and help to spread the LIE that he increased taxes on the rich. Romney's laughing all the way to the bank on that one. $900,000 a year in permanent tax cuts for him and $100,000,000 in permanent tax cuts for each of the Walton's. Yeah, Obama really stuck it to them.
