In reply to the discussion: Why do some people keep calling Obama "center-right"? [View all]Coolest Ranger
(2,034 posts)64. What part of this is a safe haven for those who support President
Obama do you anti creeps don't get. I would like to request that the moderators start issuing bans to folks who insist on bringing their anti Obama BS in this thread. You want to talk smack about the President, take it to GD and start all the threads you want. You are the main reason why I don't like coming online to hang out any more. You suck all the air out of the room then act like we don't have a right to praise the President in our own group.
I'm so disgusted with this place some days.

Part of it is a combination of rising expectations and pent up demand from years of frustration.

Well, the Affordable Care Act is essentially the 1993 Republican Healthcare Plan.
