Poor Obama gets blamed for everything

At Easter and my nephew-in-law, pretty nice guy too, starts in on how he hates Obama. Now we are a Democrat family and them is fighting words but we ask, "In what way, give a specific example." He states that Obamacare is ruining his dad's business because when employees leave they have to offer them Cobra insurance........

We all laughed and said that has been in existance since 1985.

It just goes to show they will blame everything on Obama.

And mad at the same time. Jealous because they don't have ANYONE as smart as Obama, or likable as he is. Mad because a black man sits in the WH.
