I guess you don’t hang around with the Obama haters. If you want to be really saddened, consider that one who can construct prose as coherent as …

… ranks far above the average Obama-hater in intelligence.

_Intelligent_ conservative friends? This thread isn’t about them.

So you’re saying that Mickey Mouse was the source of all those allegations of voter fraud?

Don’t really see that as a valid example of what **Senegoid** ’s challenge was. If he’d doubled down on GITMO and expanded it, THAT would be doing something “substantially different from what he said he would do all along.” Getting stymied by a recalcitrant and uncooperative Congress isn’t.

So, once again, who do _you_ plan to vote for in November?

Also, I’ll be 62 this year. Thanks for calling me a ‘millenial’; almost makes me feel young again.

Do you think American corporations should get tax benefits for sending jobs overseas?

I don’t. And yet, Obama has proposed closing corporate tax loopholes like this in each year of his presidency, which would bring in tens of billions of revenue to lower the deficit and encourage jobs to stay here in America.

Why weren’t these tax loopholes closed? Because of the opposition of Republican members of Congress.

Explain that.

He already dismissed Snopes as a legitimate site.

Its amusing that psychorighters still bring up the ‘CLinton Death List’ nonsense, even the sociopaths who invented it gave up on it.
