I can already tell I am going to be quoting this liek whoa.

You think this is some kind of tantrum?  You think people are mad because Obama didn’t ~fix all the problems ever~?  We aren’t mad because of what Obama hasn’t done, although that could certainly be enough.  We’re mad because of what Obama has done.  He’s murdered Troy Davis, destroyed Bradley Manning, declared as legal what Bush had the decency to keep a secret - from indefinite detention to assassination - sold us out to the country’s elites and blocked increased availability of emergency contraception.  I could go on, but what’s the point - all you want is a snappy quote so you can punch the ballot and enjoy your lifestyle politics in peace.  Fuck obama, stephen colbert, and you. 

Once I got to “murdered Troy Davis” I had to break out the double facepalm. Please take more American history/government courses, for your children’s sake as well as yours.
