Saying that Cantor and Obama are "joined at the hip" is just pure knee-jerk bullshit hyperbole.

If that isn't the definition of hyperbole, I don't know what is.

Do you honestly think that there is not much difference between Cantor and Obama? You think they're the same?

Put forward in more than ten words not in all caps your proof that Obama and Cantor both have the same political, economic, and foreign policy goals for this country.

No opinions, use actual facts to support your thesis.

I know you won't, because you cannot do so.
