In Bobotland, natives are getting restless

In spite the recent policies where they are not allowed to criticize Obama

check the most popular  headlines

and a few others down the list

Obama’s handpicked deficit commission co-chair says current economic crisis was “largely unforeseen”

and

Obama’s Health Care Bill Is Enough to Make You Sick

Someone needs to herd them back on the plantation

Although, the last line from that first headline says it all

But you can not wipe away the reality that millions of others feel like me.

Oops!

You can fool some people some of the times…

Should we call them “sore winners”? That would neglect the facts that this was a stolen election

First, they could get on the teevee every day and say, "This is my plan to help. Republicans in Congress won't pass it." They could hold rallies in Maine. Allies could run ads. At least people would know who is for and who is against…and just what it … Read More
