10. Makes my head want to explode...
Fri Mar 6, 2015, 02:44 PM
Mar 2015

I CONSTANTLY hear right wing talking points spat out as gospel truth - Benghazi was the worst thing EVER....Economic polices of Obama have failed....ACA = tyranny because people are allowed to live instead of just accepting their fate and dying....ANOTHER war in the middle east is the ONLY way to stop ISIS.

And then we see abject evidence that even watered down liberalism produces results that far outstrip those of the trickle down corporatists and republicans hyperventilate about and it gets glossed over...the media has already decided to skip the last two years of the Obama presidency in favor of a 21+ month presidential campaign and so instead of objectively presenting the FACTS to the American public, we will get to see the Republicans lie and obfuscate and the Democrats back pedal and run away from Obama instead of recognizing that he took a mess that was gifted to him by Shrub and Co. and despite failing to live up to my own unattainable standards as President, he made the entire mess of 2 wars and a broken, free-falling economy go away.

Now we will see the SCOTUS gut the ACA, the GOP run Koch brother inspired and funded hate films and the Democratic party splinter over the Clintons (again...as if we learned nothing at all from the other trysts with them)...meet the new boss indeed.
