I'm a registered Independent, and wouldn't dream of putting ANY bumper sticker on my car (though I do have a "Controlled Labs" sticker on the rear door window glass, but that is FAR better than any political sticker). I have to admit, I'm a fan of the "MORON" sticker using that stupid Obama logo, as well as the "Obama Scoreboard" sticker.

If anything, when I'm behind another car, I would rather read political commentary than see political advertisement. The "make your own" bumper sticker sites have yielded a few gems. I was behind this the other day:


"It's A Shame Obama's Mom Wasn't A Lesbian"

I didn't vote for Obama in 2008 or in 2012. I didn't vote for him because of his lack of experience, his history of radicalism and his advisors. I couldn't find a single thing that qualified Obama to be President of the USA - the creeping comments FROM the O-Camp about Racism if you don't support him ...... worried me a lot. I was very concerned that if this was to be his path - calling those who disagreed with him "racists" - it would be not only horrible for this country, but take giant steps into the past that people like me fought against and marched against. My worst fears were confirmed - I was really shocked that this country re-elected a man that had both "failed" and sent us backward.

All that said - I also shed tears of emotion when he appeared in Grant Park after it was a sure thing he won in 2008. I guess it's an 'age thing' - those of us who grew up in the 50's & 60's and worked so hard to stop the discrimination against our Black citizens ... we knew we made progress, but most of us never once thought we would live to see the day that a Black man became the President of the United States. I couldn't help but get very emotional about such a momentous thing. I put aside my doubts about his competency and hoped he had more in him than I had been able to discover. I cried, and I guess they were tears of a type of Joy that we had evolved to this point.

I will NEVER forgive him for squandering it, and setting us back decades. History will not be kind to Barack Obama.
That's nothing to celebrate - that is a Tragedy. What an abysmal waste.
It's incomprehensible for a man who is so touted as being 'brilliant' to have been such a failure.
Historians will study it for years, the rest of us will suffer the consequences.

Although off topic, he was more qualified and had more political experiences than many past Republican presidents. Obama isn't playing the race card; Liberals are playing the races, gender, and now, the sexual orientation card. They would have done this regardless of who's in office. It's how they get minorities to vote for them.. I believe that history won't betray him as the best president ever, but he will be far from portrayed as the evil sadistic man some of you believe him to be. His policies are Liberal policies that would have been pushed no matter what Liberal was in office. Those same policies would have still be supported by half the country. I agree that these policies are setting America back, but you're giving Obama too much credit.

Bush deserves all the hate he gets--arguably the worst president in history. Everything he touched turned to crap.

keep in mind that Bush was getting 90% approval ratings at one point in his presidency, near universal support. Think righties would ever support our current president in that manner?

That truck is way over the top. But, it is protected speech.

I think you must have been out of the country if you don't think some liberals bashed Bush as much as that truck is bashing Obama. Funny thing is, now liberals applaud Obama for doing the same policies.

Obvious right-winger is obvious.

If you shed tears, I'm Mickey Mouse.

It wasn't as agenda-driven as the right-wing's instant hate of Obama-keep in mind that Bush was getting 90% approval ratings at one point in his presidency, near universal support. Right-wingers? Obama and Putin get into a row and right-wingers defend PUTIN. Not comparable.
Bush got 90% approval ratings because of the 9-11 tragedy.

Obama has a stronger base that refuses to leave him, unlike Bush. This is surprising as Obama out Bushes Bush on most issues that liberals through a tizzy over.
