Remember the Republicans said from day one. we will make this black guy...a one term president! They hate him because of who he is.....a black guy! What a shame! And the people of the US are the victims!

is not possible for him to do all that he says. i just don't buy it.
In some of the rest areas–I have seen charging stations for ELECTRIC VEHICLES–all this while GOP thugs sold to Saudi for cheap oil. Yes, on OBAMA12. Period.
Romney: 20% tax cut for job creators, trickle down magic, more military, problem solved sometime in the next fifty years. Also cut Big Bird.
