Barack Hussein Obama kills innocent people with drones attempting to kill terrorist SUSPECTS. I think the ration of innocents to suspects is 10 to 1. How do you rationalize that? "What's a little collateral damage?" Is that your rationalization?

Barack Hussein Obama and his DoJ turned their backs on the cops killing black males. They have done nothing.

Barack Hussein Obama has let the banksters and gangsters of Wall Street rip off the 99% for hundreds of billions, even trillions.

BHO has made a mockery of the torture report, treating is as a joke. "Some folks got tortured".

He has embraced fracking as "the bridge to a new energy", as common folks are losing their drinking water.

He shook his finger at BP when they spilled oil in the Gulf and now he is going to allow drilling in the Arctic.

He turned his back on the war crimes of the Bush Family. Rationalize that.

He and Holder did crack down on medical marijuana dispensaries. Much more serious than Wall Street crime.

I assume as a BHO fan, you support the Democracy killing "Fracking Free Trade Agreements". Who needs Democracy.

I could not believe it was America when George Bush's nazi squads picked up Jose Pidella off the streets and without any Constitutional rights, held him and tortured him until he went insane. I couldn't wait until we had a Democratic president to undo the damage. Was I naive or what. BHO signed off on continuing the indefinite detention of the Bush gangsters.

What about domestic spying? I had hoped that a Democratic president would end it. NOPE. BHO is continuing all the unConstitutional spying by the NSA and CIA that Bush did. He and Bush see eye to eye on NSA spying on every American.

And I bet you want to see this crap continue. Vote for Clinton and continue the slide into tyranny.
