28. They hate Obama for fictitious reasons.

They say they don;t like him, because he's not allowing enough oil drilling, he's cutting spending on the military, he's some rabid environmentalist, he's some type of crypto-communist, he's the anti-christ, he's a crypto-muslim, etc etc.

I dislike certain aspects of Obama, but its for none of the fake reasons they dislike him for. In fact, if some of the reasons they dislike him for were true, I might actually like him more, but that isn't the case, because they're psychos, and they live in their own reality.

He actually equated fracking and offshore drilling with renewable energy in a speech recently. He's a good Republican, but I don't think they realize it, because most of them are just a bunch of racist that can't stand that a black guys in office.
