eye".. you're trying to insult his supporters. And, I say "trying" because it just shows you know nothing about us.

We have the BOG to celebrate the history of his Presidency.. the forums are where there's discussions on his policies Pro and Con. Some are constructive criticisms with respect.. others are just flat out conspiracy theories.. like the person who thinks Obama is glad the Dems lost and republicons won and he wanted this loss to happen..

That's just egregiously stupid.. and to quote geek tragedy here because he says it so well..

"Idiotic ODS drivel. No, Obama did not want those whose only goal is to derail his presidency

to control both houses of Congress.

He did not want Mitch McConnell having absolute power over each and every appointment of federal judges.

He does not want more votes on repealing the ACA.

He does not want Senate hearings on Benghazi."
