Now, since Obama's regime, all of a sudden, folks have gotten mad, and want to take America back...

From an online friend--

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO SEEM TO BE SO MAD AT OBAMA, FOR NO GOOD REASON, READ THIS AND REFLECT A MOMENT … THEN SAY TO YOURSELF:
"Hmmmmmmmmmm...YOU ARE RIGHT!!!"

Now, since Obama's regime, all of a sudden, folks have gotten mad, and want to take America Back...BACK TO WHAT/BACK TO WHERE is my question?

After The 8 Years Of The Bush/Cheney Disaster, Now You Get Mad?

You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.

You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate Energy policy and push us to invade Iraq.

You didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.

You didn't get mad when we spent over 800 billion (and counting) on said illegal war.

You didn't get mad when Bush borrowed more money from foreign sources than the previous 42 Presidents combined.

You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars in cash just disappeared in Iraq.

You didn't get mad when Bush embraced trade and outsourcing policies that shipped 6 million American jobs out of the country.

You didn't get mad when they didn't catch Bin Laden.

You didn't get mad when Bush rang up 10 trillion dollars in combined budget and current account deficits.

You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.

You didn't get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown.

You didn't get mad when we gave people who had more money than they could spend, the 1%, over a trillion dollars in tax breaks.

You didn't get mad with the worst 8 years of job creations in several decades.

You didn't get mad when over 200,000 US Citizens lost their lives because they had no health insurancecouldn't pay for health care.

You finally got mad when a black man was elected President and decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick. Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, job losses by the millions, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, and the worst economic disaster since 1929 are all okay with you, but helping fellow Americans who are sick... Oh, Hell No!

PS. This one definitely needs to be circulated to everyone on your mailing list!
Let's use the computer to help our chosen President!!! LETS GET STARTED, RIGHT!

Did you mean the Obama administration?
Regime generally is used in referring to a totalitarian government. We shouldn't buy into Fox News' propaganda.

Because this isn't a "new" occurrance. Taking back America from ________ is a rant/rallying cry that has been going on for almost, if not over 200 years!

That seems to be what "We want our country back" is all about.
