I think I found a way to annoy and remind trump supporters what a real President looks like.

I needed a break this morning so I started watching Obama clips on YouTube. I found one of him talking to the winners of the Science Fair that were invited to the White House. I felt the need to post it to my twitter page and FB page. Amazing thing happened, the last two of my "friends" from home blocked me. But I also had a couple of people contact me and thank me for reminding them what we could have in November. It won't work on 45 hardcore nuts, but for independents who are growing weary of having a bully in the White House who hates science and kids for that matter showing them these clips may just work.

The only thing I have been able to do is right-click, copy, and paste a URL.

Other than that? Nada.

Oh, how far we've fallen.

any Obama haters thinking......

I have, actually had a LIFE TIME friend who out of nowhere started forwarding me a ton of anti-Obama right wing shit emails..........You think you know someone, and then you suddenly realize just how deep their hate goes.

At any rate, I asked him to stop sending them to me. I explained that I also had political thinking, but didn't shove it in his face everyday, and would appreciate that fact and for him to desist.....

The emails continued.

So I went over to visit him and his Trumphumper wife to talk about racism.
They both launched into a tirade about how stupid could I be to not believe that N*****s were the worst and only problem in America.......

Very disappointed and sad, I asked them one question: "You do know that the people spouting all this rhetoric hate JEWS even worse than blacks, mexicans, foreigners, or any minority"

They just stared at me, and then started DENYING vehemently that these right wing racists HATED JEWS WORST OF ALL.
At that point, I realized how un-fathomable the right wing's hate had penetrated our society.

These two people are highly educated,
"AND, unbelievably, BOTH HAD GRANDPARENTS THAT WERE EXTERMINATED BY HITLER..........
