Barack Obama
In reply to the discussion: An Argument I'm Sick of Hearing! [View all]yallerdawg
(16,104 posts)7. President Obama has been very successful.
What has been most disconcerting is how willing Republicans have been to hurt us - to oppose healthcare, economic recovery, job creation, infrastructure, peace - for some kind of political gain?
I cut my teeth on "Impeach Nixon," suffered Reagan in bafflement and fear, watched the Bush's turn America into a Banana Republic and then do evil around the world - but what they have done in response to the election of President Obama has revealed the utter soullessness of Republican conservatism.
Finding a way to elect Democrats must be our number one goal.

FYI, this was alerted as an SOP violation of the Barack Obama group. Needless to say, I do not agree
