Obama blamed for everything

The Spokesman-Review

Presently, the GOP is busy convincing America that Barack Obama is a socialist, and that his policies will bankrupt and ruin the nation.

How else would they know so well? Here is a stunning news flash: The GOP has already bankrupted and ruined the nation.

President Clinton left the GOP with a huge surplus. Eight years after getting off to a great start, they left our new president with a historic deficit and a catastrophic recession.

Magically, Barack is to blame, and the GOP is now the financial advisers to the nation, the fortune tellers of Armageddon and the holy tribunal against Obama the Antichrist. Without even being at the scene of the eight-year crime, Barack is responsible for the recession and the cause of at least six out of seven signs of the Apocalypse.

Wow! Those magical feats still do not beat the GOP’s power of God to create life by granting corporations personhood, thus ensuring them everlasting life, even if it costs millions of real people theirs.
