Several Questions I Want Republicans to Answer About President Obama

August 7, 2014 By Allen Clifton

When Barack Obama was elected in 2008, I knew the right-wing freak out over our nation electing its first black president was going to be fairly intense. Though I really didn’t think it would be as bad as it’s been.

I figured there would be a lot of ignorance thrown his way, but I really didn’t believe that it would reach the level of unrelenting paranoia and hatred that we’ve seen.

snip

* when is he finally going to come around and confiscate our guns?

* what freedoms have they lost since he’s been president?

* when is this big government takeover of our health care system going to happen?

* where are those death panels?

* where’s all this socialism I’ve heard about?

* how has Obama made the United States less safe?

* if he’s really this radical anti-Christian Muslim, why has he come out in support of gay rights, more specifically same-sex marriage?

And I’m sorry conservatives, but you can’t claim “Republicans in Congress have prevented most of this from happening.” Because, according to those same congressional Republicans, President Obama has acted unlawfully and unconstitutionally to wield his power, bypassing Congress to “rule more like a king or dictator.” After all, isn’t his “massive abuse of power” the reason why so many of you think he should be impeached?

He had 8 years and a repuke congress for much of it, so it must be coming any time now.

You'll confuse them and the answers in their hand will be wrong and six years from now they will still be complaining. This will show the NRA was only interested in raising money.

Good post, enjoyed, got some chuckles from me.

for them, too: why haven't I gotten my free stuff yet? I voted for Obama twice, but I still don't have a free driver's license or a free BMW.
