I am so pissed off.

So, according to his RW critics, President Obama is not an American, is a socialist, is soft on terrorism, is destroying the healthcare system with Obamacare, is spying on Americans, is raising taxes, etc., etc., etc. That nonsense has been going on since he took office. But NOW his administration is being blamed for random crimes and declining moral standards??? Ridiculous! The RW media is full of this crap right now. I hear this garbage and worse every time I have the stomach to tune in to talk radio. I can't believe how low the Republicans and their mouthpieces on Fox/hate radio will stoop to bring this man down.

The fact is that Obama is the best President in the last 50 years in terms of economic equality/fairness, minority rights, women's rights, environment and affordable education. His foreign policy is thoughtful and far from the mindless "war-first" Bush policy. And what about the disastrous Bush/Republican economic policies?

I am just so sick of this sore-loser gang of gun nuts, racists, sexists, anti-choicers, corporate fat cats, 1%ers, haters and morons doing everything they can to destroy this Presidency.

Obama needs our support now as much now as much, or more, than in '08 or '12.

Sorry for the long winded post but I've been away for a while, I have insomnia and I am highly caffeinated right now. Just had to rant!

This is posted in the Barack Obama Group - A safe haven for members of Democratic Underground who support the president and his policies.

to prove just how unhinged the used teabags are... Braawaawaa! I thought they were doing it because they were pissed Pres Obama.. but, noooo, it turns out they're pissed at boner!

"Enraged Conservatives Resolve to Rename ObamaCare ‘BoehnerCare’"

snip//

"Conservatives are so mad at “pathetic” John Boehner (R-OH) for “caving” over their latest economic terrorism plot to shut down the government that they are resolving to punish the Speaker by renaming Obamacare ‘Boehnercare’

snip//

Why so mad?

Because you see, Boehner is going to attempt to fund the government with a short-term continuing resolution (CR). Bad John!! Bad Speaker, trying to cover for the fact that the House refuses to sit down with the Senate for budget reconciliation. But the real shame for the Speaker comes because with this short term resolution comes funding of the law.

Obamacare is the law

There's more..

Obamacare is the law - Yes!

That is the one thing I agree with them on - I can't stand Boehner. Like a popular sign at protests a few years ago - "KEEP YOUR BOEHNER OUT OF MY UTERUS!"

When Boner is too liberal for them, it shows how really crazy they are.

Obama is President. Obamacare is law. And there are a LOT of us out here who love it!
