"The One"

I'm sure this will upset some
Liberals. The truth usually does.

Those that think that Obama is too
great to take money from Goldman Sachs and BP oil and law firms and banks.
Not only did he take money, he took a lot on money.

But I'm sure it's not his fault.
Nothing is his fault.
Blame it on Bush.

Isn't it funny that Obama's backers call him a socialist but
his fans don't.

The truth will set you free.
Take off the rose colored glasses.
Open your eyes to the real world.
Unless you're so blind you can't see reality.
