6. Now we tell the conservatives who touted this in 2004 that Obama
has an unbelievable, massive SUPER MANDATE, and anyone who opposes the will of the American people by opposing Obama is a TRAITOR and POSSIBLE TERRORIST.

LOL, we don't feel that way and Obama won't act that way, but those assholes need to hear that from us voters.

And that his party was the party strong on defense.

We lost four planes, two towers, one fifth the Pentagon and the city of NO under his watch.

And iI think that Obama does have a mandate - even Fox had a ticker saying that 70% of all people are upset with the way things are going in this country.
