186. I support the President!! Period.

Mon Feb 3, 2014, 04:06 PM

Feb 2014

It doesn't mean I agree with everything he does. Some of the things that happen, I believe because he wants them to. Tell me something, The Bush/Cheney Administration did a lot of shit in the open and way more shit in secret, how would we know??? Most of the things that they are mad about with President Obama wasn't even started in his Administration. Wouldn't it make sense if you wanted something gone and you couldn't get Republicans to stop it, you would let it be known so their could be an outrage from the people. Even if it meant that you would take the heat as President. We know TPP sounds Republican as Fuck. What if there are enough votes to pass it. The President doesn't like it. We all know if he's for it, something is up. He would never sell out the Country he loves. This I know. I hadn't heard of the TPP until he mentioned it. Now its getting quite a bit of attention. Which makes me believe he wants us to be mad enough to stop them.
