When propaganda is party strategy
repeating proven lies
to those that need to believe
When the party out of power
brings back voter restrictions
to sway outcomes in their favor
When the opposite Party
refuses to recognize
him as Mr. President
and openly slight him
as Mr. Obama
through two terms
When the wishes of the people
are not being represented
in Washington
When bigotry is openly displayed
but unspoken
When the real position of
the opposite party
is nothing but oppositional
and they feed their people
fear and ignorance
When spin is just another word
for lie
When radical groups are mainlined
because they join
the oppositional fray
When rhetoric is the message
of yet another day
When inclined to point at
just one man as the problem…
Think again

You are so right...no president can create a perfect world, it doesn't exist, it never has.
The president signs up to take the fall, it's part if the job description.

Thanks for posting this Lori.
