Many people listen way too much hate and lies on Fox News. They spew non truths. That is fact. It's about time people wake up and listen to the truth. Please do your research and find out truths about our President Obama who loves our country instead of listening to Republicans and Tea party people spread hateful talk.

I still want to see his "actual" birth certificate. I believe he is a fraud. Rahm Emmanuel is the real "boss" behind Obama. Some of you who support this guy are real suckers. Wise up, before you lose your country and your way of life. These people are in bed with the enemy!!!!
