Looking for Liberal List/Accomplishments to send to my RW Brother
Is there a list of things liberals have done so I can send my brother? We rarely get into politics because it wastes so much time. However, we somehow while discussing ARnold's scandal got into all things liberal and Obama.Very upsetting. Not so much his politics but his spin. Our economy today is all Obama;s fault and Bush can not be blamed for it anymore. Gas prices, Obama's fault.Killing Bin Laden,Bush gets all the credit.
