And it's the same group that once facts do come out, and pretty much proves they were over reacting, continue to deny the facts. Now of course I also see a lot of new posters coming in since the "scandals" started being pushed by the right wing and the media. l think it's pretty obvious what is happening when new posters only complain about the president, and never post anything positive.

I also think that this is all about the elections next year, and trying the same tactics that were being used in 2010 to try and keep the left from voting because they are to angry with the president and his administration. It worked in 2010, and they hope it will work this time.

All I can say is things are getting crazier by the day here, but polls seem to show that the majority of democrats are still supporting the president, and all the BS scandals do not seem to be working as well as republicans thought they would.

This crap about "illegal" wiretapping us just the latest right wing smear tactic. The right is trying to pin all the crap Bush and the republican congress put into law on president Obama and his administration, and once again some on the left have jumped on the bandwagon and seem to forget just how long these programs have been going on, and that every american citizen is NOT BEING WIRETAPPED! Even when the facts come out and prove they have once again jumped the gun, many here just keep on spewing the BS, over and over and over no matter what, and that's what is really crazy.

I think people forget what happened in 2010 when they decided to sit it out, and Wisconsin, Main, Florida, and all the other states that are not controlled by republicans should show everyone just how bad things will be if they sit out 2014.
