I told them Obama's agenda has been severely hampered ever since he's been in office. Do you realize that the last two Congresses have been the most obstructionist Congresses in our nation's history? Congress hasn't let any legislation pass that would actually help Americans!

They looked at me like I was from another planet.

I asked them which Obama policies have they disagreed with outside of ObamaCare, and NONE of them were able to name a single one. Of course, I schooled them on some of the very good things that ObamaCare has provided us, and their eyes again glazed over.

It's a damn shame that Obama is most likely going to work with Congress to pass some of the most egregious legislation over the next two years (just like Clinton did). It will hurt most all of us so very much.

Republican candidates all over the nation got MANY votes because so many people wanted to Stop Obama. They are all ignorant fools (and many are racist).
