remember when obama got in for his first term?

remember the build up, the wild anticipation, the "hope"?

remember feeling so proud of him, so relieved, so overjoyed to think we had crossed the desert and were finally on the brink of this new and bright horizon?

remember thinking that you could finally relax a little bit and take a fucking breath?

yeah.... good times

What will we do without him? But I do look forward at all the things Obama has done on the sly to make Americans better off. I'm sure the list of things he has done quietly is just as great as all his publuc accomplishments. Such a tragedy he was sabotaged at every turn by the GOP.

What did I say that made you feel welcome to insult my friends and family? I simply made an observation and, regardless of party, I love them all and your crude remarks are insulting to me personally.

I love them to death too. Fuck them too! My sister in law, most of my mother's side of the family, my aunt and her gomer pyle hyck-hyck husband.

I feel the same way about my GOP family too.

My apologies because I offended you, but just like mine, screw their buyer's remorse. They own this shit. Suck it up and be proud of it!

Before he became Dr. Seuss, he worked as an illustrator in ad departments and during World War II drew cartoons for the United States Army.
