So I'm reading an article @ huffpost

This one in particular:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/13/barack-obama-legacy_n_5967084.html

And I'm mildly amused till I get down to the comments. I think my head exploded.

Here are some:

He and the Democrats control the Presidency and the Senate, so how can Republicans BLOCK all of what he wants to do? Rock and Roll High School not doing the job, may wanna change schools! and another fact, the housing meltdown was created by Democrats back in the late 90's when large banks were forced to give loans to applicants and poorly ran banks who they knew couldn't pay for these loans. FORCED to give them, by the government. Check it out. Barney Frank, a Democrat, was the instigator. Dodd-Frank bill.

How can Republicans block everything? Do you know anything about how the government is supposed to function? Apparently not.

He got elected purely for his skin color with the help of a bunch of ignorant, ill informed, and hopeless folks, many of whom are illegals and illegally and unlawfully voted, who were hoping for the golden eggs to emerge from all of that hope and change hypes. On positive thing coming out of all this though is that the Kool-aid drinkers have a lot more to be thankful for but they don't have a leg to stand on for their voice, those of system abusers and non productive citizens, and would be controversial at best.


I tell you I'm just speechless. This is what were dealing with folks and Damn it's bad.

and even Jimmy Carter wasn't immune to it. The black thing is just more sauce for them.

Don't forget the good news that we actually elected a Black President. Twice. The entire country isn't quite that ignorant.

The teabaggers and other haters over there have time and money to organize this bullshit and make themselves look more numerous and influential than they really are. Don't fall into their trap.

Talking point that Obama is the "most unpopular" president ever

Not a day goes by where they don't slam Obama

Funny how we much time they give to losers like
mccain, palin, romney, and Cheney
