YEAR ONE
What is wrong with you folks? You act as if Obama has some magic wand in his pocket and he can just wave it and all is ok. He said repeatedly I can’t do it all by myself I need your help, and if you tend to forget he signs into law he dose not make it, that’s the job of the house and senate but you know that. For those of you who say you will not vote for him or any democrat you probably didn’t vote for him any way and for those who keep yelling third party get real there is no viable one as of yet. So if you want change make it if you want things to go back to the way they were sit on your collective butts.
