The GOP meme that the midterms were a referendum on President Obama is bullshit [View all]

That's merely them trying to tarnish his legacy before his term as even ended. Everyone who voted for Republicans were people who always hated Democrats and the President.

With his supporters (who are the majority, thank you very much), his legacy is safe and sound.

The midterms, if anything, were a confirmation that our entire political system has been sabotaged by decades of voter disenfranchisement. It began with the Republicans, of course, just check out the Powell Memo. But Big Money decided to play both sides against the middle and have infiltrated Democrats as well, by a much smaller extent, of course.

Never forget that whatever the President does or doesn't do, the Republicans are always going to say that he's wrong. His executive actions will be depicted as "tyranny," even if they are all precedented. His public statements will be called "narcism," even if he speaks in terms of "we" and "us" instead of "me" and "I." Everything that they think up will be used to lodge non-existent scandals against him, even if they investigate those so-called "scandals" and find that they have no merit. Crazy wingers will take those fantasies and run with them, even if they have no proof outside of their own heads that he's ever done anything wrong. And most of all, when you regard everything that they do, it proves that just about all of them are pretty fucking racist. (If you're having a bit of problem with me classifying all of them as racist, I'm prepared to debate that point.)

Most of all, the things that they say about the President only exists within their own echo chamber, for their own benefit.

Living in the real world for them is an anathema. It's just plenty sickening to see that they've poisoned the well for everyone else as well.
