Republican presidential candidates are constantly demeaning President Obama’s record in the last seven years. Really?

“Anyone who says we’re not absolutely better off today than we were seven years ago, they’re not leveling with you,” Obama said. “They’re not telling the truth.”

The article in which this was included is very short. What you might or might not want to do, depending on how many racist and ignorant people you can tolerate, is to read the comments. (The link is attached). Every one of them is in denial of the truth. In six years President Obama repaired much of the damage done to our nation by the George W. Bush Administration.

Any intelligent person knew that when Barrack Obama was elected, the racists and bigots in our nation would attack every proposal he offered. As time went on, I realized it wasn’t only the fact that he was black, it was also that he is extremely intelligent, just the opposite of his predecessor.

Thanks to FOX Noise and the extremists in our Congress, many Americans deny the facts. Our nation is on the way to a complete recovery from a near depression. These same extremists have attempted to blame the President for ISIS. The facts cannot be denied. Removing Saddam Hussein and the invasion of Iraq paved the way for ISIS by destabilizing the entire region. But I sometimes forget that those on the right don’t like facts.

Here is just one example of the insane and mean-spirited comments.

“Is that monkey-headed jackwad smoking something? Tell a lie often enough, people start to believe it. Is that the strategy, dumbazz?”

Does anyone need more proof that the right wing has encouraged the rise of racism and ignorance in our nation?
