President Obama has achieved incredible progress for the United States.
Just imagine what he could have accomplished if the republicans had let him do his fucking job.

As a Democrat, here’s what bothers me about this graphic:
They shouldn’t try to slyly imply that the presidency before Obama was a wreck by saying things like “before Obama became president” or “after Obama took office”. They should actually just say it out loud.
What would Republicans do? They’d say it! They’d name names. They use words as bullets. The democrats seem to want to take the moral high ground by saying things like, “I don’t want to name names, but the guy before me…” No, he has a name. The Right has made the name Obama a bad word. Literally. They talk about Obama not as the president, but as the political enemy. An entity as evil as they represented the Soviets. They took a mans name, branded it as their own and use it as a hammer to smash everything.
Why aren’t the democrats constantly and repeatedly bringing up the fact that Bush started TWO FUCKING WARS, one of which was based on an ADMITTED LIE. Why aren’t we using the Bush presidency as an example of a BAD republican presidency? Why aren’t we rebranding his name to be synonymous with stupidity and ineptitude?
The Republicans know the power of words they get simple phrases. They get the idea of the sound byte. They get the fact that ONE HALF of the population isn’t really listening to anything other buzzwords. This is why sitcoms have catch phrases. This is why bad guys in movies and on TV are one dimensional. It’s easier. They run with this idea. Make a person into a bad guy. Make him sound evil and scary. Repeat the same lines over and over again until the name means nothing other than a definition for “what’s wrong with America”.
