And some on the Right claim that Obama is ruining our country?
Well he is running the country but to use the example of Hitler is weak at best. People like to put Hitler mustaches on everything they hate. I'm going to put a Hitler Mustache on my competition's company name so people can imply something evil too.
ReplyDeleteI think Barack's actions have softened the blows delivered by the banksters in charge. The Far Right gives him no credit for this, just like they gave Bush no blame. Given that context, I think your mustaches were fine.
ReplyDeletePolitics, oh how I hate it. Let me count the ways...
ReplyDeleteI'll be back when I am done counting.
I hate when people try to call the game in the 1st quarter. It rarely works in sports and it definitely doesn't work in politics. The truth is Obama did inherit a huge mess. He can't make everything better overnight or all by himself.
ReplyDeleteMost of the time Obama comports himself like a competent POTUS. When compared to G. W. Bush his record so far is pretty stellar.
