21. President Obama is the least of our worries.
Tue Mar 5, 2013, 02:04 AM
Mar 2013

Six months or one month is irrelevant. What matters is he do the right thing and the end result. He cannot do anything without the Democratic Party or us. That is the big mistake the Republicans are making. They forget that we are constituents also just like their constituents. That is why they loss the Election. They also insult our intelligence. They actually believe we voted for President Obama because of the color of his skin. Well I got news for them. We actually have the capacity to think for ourselves.
