To many people are ready to jump on the bandwagon, the "Obama's fault" bandwagon, every time some new "fake" scandal comes out. The don't need "facts", nope those facts just get in their way. They "know" it's Obama's fault simply because. I have seen way to many posts where people asked for some "facts" to back up their claims against the president, and so far no facts have been produced, just a lot of double talk to get out of answering the question.

The same people are the ones accusing the "other side" of being drones who simply follow their leader no matter what. They can't seem to understand that other people have a different view than they do because even with not "facts" the "know" they are right and anyone on the other side is wrong.

Funny thing is that over the years it seems to be pretty much the same crowd that sets their hair on fire long before any "facts" are put out, and even then they deny the facts and continue on till the next "scandal" comes up when they once again jump back on the anti Obama band wagon.
