Obama has the low informed voters convinced he is doing his best for us.
Low informed voters - wise up! We all need to contact our Congressman and Senators to defeat this guy's extreme liberal agenda.

Who is president now, I've been watching my big screen I bought with an EBT card and unemployment checks. I going for Social Security disability. I've been using my EBT card at Springdale Liquor Association, they don't care. I get my food out behind Tysons, (wipe the flys off), and the Goodwills. The mansion I live in is paid for by the Office of Human Concern. I got a car at cash for clunkers, they paid me cash and I kept the clunker. Even they have standreds. I think I voted for someone, but I was drunk on Democrat cheap wine that day when they gave me a ride to the polls. But I'm informed, footballfan, doesn't have a clue.
