talk about him.
7 items on my Facebook feed about Obama from Republicans this morning = today is a good day for Obama! And they hate it!
1 and 2: The job report isn't really all that good. (LOL. It's sad to be in a place where you hope the economy won't recover, isn't it?)
3. The Economist is crazy to endorse Obama.
4: Libya and conspiracy theories. (No one beleives the theory but them.)
5, 6, and 7: That Obama:2016 movie. (Again, no one believes the conspiracy theories but them.)
Nothing about Sandy, not even complaints about the Republican endorsements/support coming for Obama out of that. It's complete silence on all that. Instead, they're dragging out Obama: 2016 AGAIN. (Really! Watch it before the election! Don't vote without watching this piece of Tea Party propaganda/conspiracy theory/garbage!)
I've decided to keep the Republicans on my feed so I can keep track of what they're complaining about and laugh at them.
I'm planning how to celebrate/watch the returns come in Tuesday night.

(53,061 posts)I have relatives and friends that are Republicans and we remain friends and close by not talking about it, although they will occassionally say something from time to time to let me know that they don't like Romney or the neadrathals because quite frankly I don't know anybody, or have met anybody, that really likes either Romney or the radical right, including all of the Republican candidates for President.

New ad in Ohio encourages blacks to vote GOP because of all the things they've done for blacks, most recently the Emancipation Proclamation

(73 posts)The crowd at FLOTUS's campaign appearance was chanting "Michelle Obama" but Fox News reported it as "Hail Obama." #HailObama has been trending on Twitter overnight as well.
There's a keyword blocker installed on my laptop so most of the political stuff that hits my news feed passes unseen, but it's all there when I check it on my phone. Was greeted this morning by a nasty "call a spade a spade" post by a woman who frequently posts adoring pics of her biracial niece.

(22,336 posts)I think only one of them is stupid enough to mistake "Michelle Obama" for "Hail Obama", but I'll keep my eyes open. At least I'll know what they're talking about and can correct them if it comes up.
Just checked and it's fallen off the top ten, but if you search "Hail Obama" you'll find loads of tweets about it.
