Delusion is an incurable disease. Despite all facts to the contrary, my acquaintances from yesteryears still stubbornly believe Obama is a Muslim-socialist-commie-alien imposter that plans to destroy America and set up Sharia law.

One can only hope.

(8,146 posts)obama is a rightwing reactionary....he's the choice of such traitors as chrismathews or those stooges on cnn (despite their racist mentality) and the rightwing wins BIG TIME whoeverget posted into WHouse. The rightwing LOSES by winning (see geebush) and WINS by losing (see clintoon!)... and we are the bill payers (notice a 'single payer' system is okay for funding military-industry complex crap; though not for medical health!)....our joy in mr obama's success is silly when one considers what the rightwing thug does. please don't vote for ANYONE mr pig tries to foist off on 'we the people'. romney would be a more honest rep. since he's a rightwing goon from top down (barack acts like he's open minded, but meanwhile the worst war criminal in US hushtory is retired to his 'farm' in Paraguay! ) and meanwhile Obama plays 3 card monty with us!
honestly, i doubt even 'God' gives a damn anymore....
