This post goes out to every Red, White, and Blue conservative American patriot that had to endure multiple encounters with friends or family who just would not listen to sane rational thinking during the onset of the plague known as Obamamania. God bless Blue Waters Run Deep for reposting the original version of this blog post while it was still up and running, because it appears the Original Owner’s site is no longer functioning. Here you will find 194 reasons to confirm that every libtard with a “Hope and Change” T-shirt, or an “Obama/Biden” bumper sticker on their Prius were certifiable MORONS for voting for the disaster in the White House. 

First… Let’s see some footage of what our typical Obama voters look and sound like shall we?

If you’re one of those people who thinks President Obama is a “disappointment,” condolences for not getting your unicorn. And it’s time to grow up, get over it. We have four months to go before an election that will feature more political ads than you have ever seen before in your life. We’re not just having to beat Willard Romney; we also have to beat Citizens United. There will be TWO choices for president. You can either work for Obama and every other Democrat (yes, including Blue Dogs), or you can sit back and watch Willard Romney complete the job of taking apart the social fabric of the country that was begun by Ronald Reagan.  

What makes the “disappointment” argument even more irritating is that it’s simply not true. He’s done nearly everything we elect a president to do, and he dd it all with little support from the left, and massive obstruction from the right. 

Is he perfect? No, he’s human. Does he deserve some criticism? At this point, it really doesn’t matter.

What does matter is that this president has compiled a STELLAR record. If you can look at this list of the president’s accomplishments after three years, and not be excited, you have a serious problem with perspective.

Pass this list around to everyone you know. And don’t be afraid; unlike many such lists, every item includes a link to a citation supporting it.
