All that thought it was Obama are wrong. The persons name who made these statements does not appear on either list. The answer may surprise many of you, but if you're a political history buff like I am, it will not. This person has been one of the most corrupt people in the political scene for years!

Why is anyone with a different point of view a communist,america hateing, corrupt,illegal leader? Both parties have their faults. Neither is absolutely correct. If you study political science, you will see that the periods of the most prosperity in the US have occurred when one party is in office and the other party controls the both the house and senate. If you are not happy with the way this country is governed, then please feel free to relocate to another.
