oh, see, you got caught in my little "trap". How you guys blame Obama for everything, when its CONGRESS and ONLY CONGRESS that is able to propose laws, and even override VETOS if they are given.

Yet when events are associated to Bush, whoa, trot out, hey it was CONGRESS!!!!!

Funny how once a democrat gets into office, its all his fault.

No, Bush destroyed America by instigating two wars, and passing legislation that allowed unscrupulous banks take advantage of Americans
You're right about the wars.

Obama has instigated civil disorder in the Middle East and seemed to approve of the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist organization, taking over Egypt. Not to mention arming Al Qaeda.

And it was Clinton who repealed Glass-Steagall and unleashed the bankers.

Wake up.

another gop that doesn't know how government works, and that Obama has done nothing of the sort. We are not the world police, but other countries keep on looking to us to be the world police.

They gave him a Nobel prize and he's been worthless ever since.

Actually he was worthless before the prize also.

You're wrong about all of that. And too ignorant to be able to recognize it.

I disagree. If you judge based on skin color, religion, race, etc. you are a lesser human being. If you disagree with Obama's policies, you're reasonable.

This type of unhinged paranoia that crosses into downright delusion is everything that is wrong with the extreme right wing that controls the Republican Party.

Someone is gong to have to wrest back control of the party from the likes of Ted Cruz,
Steve King, Michelle Bachman and Louie Gohmert factions that controls it.
