Remember when BIG $$$ = corrupt & bought politicians?

I wonder what happened.  Oh that's right, that was the cry when it was the GOP in power.  Now that its Dems, all is fine and pure in the world of DC Land.  Nice to have evolving ethics

No lobbyists allowed is still better than allowing both lobbyists and bundlers, nonetheless.

the most affluent supported obama
================================

So did the least affluent.

This included a majority of the people who woud supposedly pay taxes on earnings above  $250K. The real Joe the Plumbers.

I imagine that they did not trust the ineptitude of a party that mongered a war on borrowed money and presided over the worst crash since 1929.
 

Could it be that Obama was both the most popular choice AND the wisest choice for everyone?

Oh come on! These are the smartest people in the world! Barry is the embodiment of the fictional character Deep Thought. He is without parallel in his smartness. He will be all things to all people and finally give us the question to the answer, 42.

Barry is what hate-filled right wing nutcases call Big O. He apparently used the name before he went to university and they think it somehow belittles him. Weird, huh?

Barry Obama. It's what he called himself for years. That is until he became Deep Thought, the smartest thing in the entire fucking universe.

Nothing of course like hate-filled left wing nutcases calling Bush, McCain, Palin, & Cheney every name in the book, in some asinine effort to belittle them.  Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
