Just what exactly has Obama done for America

kbmom

I don't understand how people are still supporting him after three years of failure.

Since he took office: Uneployment is up, median income is down, the debt is way up.

He is raiding medicare to pay for Obamacare. His green energy support has resulted in pretty much nothing but wasted money (much of it going to his poltical cronies).

For the first two years he had a majority in both the house and the senate, but he couldn't get a basic budget passed.

All he seems to do is blame others for anything that is wrong.

He's upped Kool-Aid sales.

 LOL.  Never heard this one.   He has helped redistribute wealth.  ya, know so we can just all be controlled by the government, sit on our butts and collect our welfare checks.

and according to one of my Facebook friends when i mentioned that he had to rob medicare to pay for obamacare, her reply:  he had to fix what bush did to us in 8 years...he is still working on it.    What I was thinking but didn't say: since when is it OK to rob our seniors!!!  Also, the insurance premium one of my friends has went UP 39% due to the ACA.  I think people will be surprised at yet another lie he said, that our premiums wouldn't go up.

Where I come from, the racist jokes aren't about kool aid. They're about tacos. And much like you, a lot of people don't understand socialism. Please, enlighten us with academic sources for all this redistribution of the wealth that's been done in the last four years.

No, this is not racist. Have you not heard of this term "drink the kool-aid".

It has been around much longer than Obama. It is heard often on sports stations.

It is often dated back to Jim Jones.

To drink the kool-aid simply means you have bought into an idea or concept. A concept that is likely faulty or baseless.

I believe your good friend used this phrase to describe those posting on this boiard. I will have to go back to the parenting board and see if I can find it.

I like the backpedaling on kool-aid in this thread, where everyone pretends that they actually meant Jim Jones kool-aid and not the racist undertones. 

 

kbmom

I am not backpedaling. I read her response last night and just assumed the Jim Jones kool-aid. Not once did anything racist occur to me.

Because the kool-aid reference so accurately describes the Obama liberals, it made perfect sense.

Please stop accusing me of things I did not do.
