WELL, YOU WAITED UNTIL IT BECAME OBVIOUS, and even then SQUIRMED to admit it.

Listen, he's the most unpopular President in a century.
Under him we have "endless" war, renegade gas prices that helped to tank the country and a failed economy leading to a financial crisis. We can't even SAY how much we "owe" because we can't even comprehend it. We broke international agreements and tortured people. This administration has accomplished criminal acts and avoided prosecution for it's crimes. You seem to think that this is just "partisan sniping", just like Tom.

Frankly, I think you're embarrassed to be a Republican, and rather than blame your President, you blame the Democrats. But I'll bet you're a proud American though, and I can't blame you for that.

OK, rip me a new one.....;~)
