    Obama believes it is okay to murder babies.
    Obama believes it is okay for a man to marry a man.
    Obama, in the non-perverted world, is a disgrace to mankind.

    3. As he jacked up everybody else's salaries in govt... within a few days of being sworn in and spent almost a trillion repaying cronies.

    You're right, jem. This is a joke. Obama says one thing and does the opposite.

    He hasn't cut any government spending.

    He has increased government salaries and benefits.

    He hasn't reformed any government agency except that he did turn NASA into an Islamic outreach organization.

    He took nearly a trillion dollars and gave it out to democratic fund raisers and supporters.

    Where's the infrastructure that was promised with that money?

    Where's the jobs?

    Where's the help that small business needs?

    Instead they got over a trillion dollars in new regulatory costs.

    Where's the coal industry going? It's going out of business.

    How many electric power coal plants are scheduled to close? 200. How many replacements are coming online? ZERO!

    Where's the Keystone pipeline to move the Canadian oil to U.S. refineries? Vetoed by Obama.

    Where's that Canadian oil going now? To China.

    Etc. Etc. Etc. We don't need more of Obama's 'Hope and Change'. It's destroying America.
     
  9. Quite the list.

    Question.

    Does anyone here personally know any one person who has benefitted by any of these accomplishments?
     
  10. Yes. Number 22.
