wait, barack obama? the 'hope and change' guy? single payer healthcare, free education, opened borders and created a new social and technological renaisance? the one who nationalized all the banks after they tried to steal the country out from under us (again)? the barack obama who fixed intellectual property law, and made stewardship of corporations that do shady crap a MUCH more legally perilous proposition? The guy who mandated and funded the effort to take our agriculture off petrofertilizers? the one who ended hunger? the privacy guy, who made it so corporations must pay in kind with the records of their executives and major shareholders (or their executives) as well as monetarily when they violate our privacy, and fixed all that constitutional shit like the fourth amendment being toiled paper? The barack obama who made us the most optimistic generation any historian can find?

I mean, he raped all those kids, but he was doing that anywa OH MY GOD DID HE ESCAPE THE BLACK SITE IN SYRIA IN YOUR TIMELINE AND DO THE PLOT OF 'IRON MAN' BUT (more) EVIL!?
