I love the way the Obama haters site a country run by the likes of ugly, egotistical, corrupt, delusional DICTATOR Putin to bash Obama. I totally agree with your self-deportation idea, but I think they should go to Russia.

Oh, sweet irony!
All of their "scandals" fizzled out, so thery are looking to Putin's Russia for moral support. The counry that still has a portion of the populace that worships Stalin. It is very amusing.

Your comment demonstrates you have no clue what the Tea Party is or stands for.

You voted for "Change" as Obama said change America fundamentally why don't you self-export to some socialistic country. They won't mind paying your way.

It NEVER worked but each successive administration of MANY countries still use it as a bedrock foreign policy to this very day. Why are they so stupid do you think? Oh, I know, they have oil shares or a chunk of Haliburton/Blackwater perhaps?

This just shows how much Americans know about what our government does and what it is involved in.

@eRayP. I love the way right-wing crazies go off the rails over Obama. Blame Rush, Ann, Sean, Laura and the Michaels, who assured their conservative loony-tune listeners that Obama could not be re-elected. (The narrative: Virginia and Florida were sure things for Romney, Pennsylvania was "trending" for Romney and would desert Obama, blue Wisconsin might go red because they loved their Republican governer, etc.). But pollsters, even conservative pollsters like Rasmussen, told them, "Are you NUTS? It's not that way." RealClear and other daily nonpartisan polls said "No way, José, it's won't be easy." And it wasn't easy.

In June 2013, and the ultra-conservative nutcases are embracing Putin and the worst of the anti-American Russian politicians and personalities. It's funny to me that American conservatives were misled TWO times, in both 2008 and 2012. Rush, Ann, Sean, Laura, the two Michaels -- and especially Fox News and the National Review -- all replaced sound analysis and realistic number-crunching with wishful thinking and the GOP parallel universe.

The OP lives in Alaska, too far away from the Lower 48 to know what most Americans think about Romney and Michelle Bachmann and Rick Perry and his local darling, Sarah Palin. To summarize: with all of Obama's flaws, Biden's big mouth, Hillary's attitude, and all the Democrat party's mistakes and gaffes, more American voters thought the GOP was even worse. It always comes down to the lesser of two evils, and many Americans think the GOP (many of them anyway) are more evil.

Those numbers appear to be dropping after the NSA leaks. I am sure they aren't low, but they are lower.

Yup. Obama sucks on many fronts, granted.

But anyone who thinks The Answer to our problems or to Obama's incompetencies is someone from the Republican Party is an utter imbecile.

It's become cool for RWNJs to hate America these days.

Actually we hate Obama and despise how he has destroyed our country. Any other questions?
