Wie angenehm fuer die Fuehrer dass das Volk nicht denkt.
M. Obama, vous nous avez infligée la destruction par vos dieux d’or!

I am a Democrat and I’ve always believed that the Democrats are honest.

Mr. Colbert, do you know the biggest difference between Democrats and Republicans?
Democrats are noble. When we make a mistake, we acknowledge it because we have the courage and integrity to do the right thing.
Mr. Colbert, WAKE UP AND SMELL THE STENCH!
Barack Obama and the Democrats Created the Housing Crisis!!!

Obama’s wife to a crowd in North Carolina:
“the truth is most Americans don’t want much. Folks don’t want the whole pie.
The truth is, in order to get things like Universal Health care and a revamped Education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.………”

They can’t wait to raise taxes on high-earners, dividends, capital gains, corporations, oil companies, and estates. But this tax increase is not meant to balance the budget. It’s in the name of “fairness,” and “patriotism,” and whatever revenue it raises will quickly be spent.

ACORN
Mr. Colbert, why aren’t you even talking about Obama-Acorn tie and Mr. Obama’s friends who created the financial crisis

“The revisions also allowed for the first time the securitization of CRA-regulated loans containing subprime mortgages. The changes came as radical “housing rights” groups led by ACORN lobbied for such loans. ACORN at the time was represented by a young public-interest lawyer in Chicago by the name of Barack Obama.”
