Things they said about Obama or things that would happen if he were elected President

Romney said gas would be six dollars. He was also going to bring unemployment down to six percent.
Who don't the media ever do follow up with these always wrong morons and liars.

The media sells drama. That's their product.

The GOP has been dead since 2006 (sorry can't mention THAT midterm) held up only by the media and gerrymandering.

Using illegal Mexican immigrants to help take away citizens' guns so it would be easier to put them in FEMA re-education camps to turn them into vegan, Prius-driving, gay Muslims.

and how things would be viewed differently.

The vast economic turnaround.

The number of uninsured now insured (not that a conservative would ever spearhead such a thing).

but most notably, the fact that the republican predecessor could not get the 9/11 terrorist mastermind where it only took Obama a year and a half.

Imagine the exploitation by republicans if that were reversed. You know the drill. They would mention it every ten minutes. School kids would be required to pledge allegiance to such a Great American Hero. The exploitation would never end

And imagine if a democratic congress spent eleven billion percent more attention to an isolated terrorist attack rather than the successful bin Laden raid. How un American would WE be were the political parties reversed?

Why are republicans not un American traitors who WANT the terrorists to win?

Not too difficult to visualize these scenarios....

by the same people who own the corporations who make the war machines, ammo, bombs and etc. War is big business to them and their bottom line



ETA: If we don't get this changed and soon we're truly screwed.
