    Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas) accused Obama of trying to make support for his position look stronger than it really is by flooding Twitter with messages from people who don't exist.

      Ya, too busy harvesting support by granting pardons to common criminals.

        Care to prove he is not giving pardons from an ethical standpoint or are you just assuming cluelessly?

          Unlike some debaters on both sides of the political cesspool, I don't assume anything. My opinions are substantiated by numerous sources and I have formed my opinion from these sources. 
          I don't need to prove anything to you or anybody else for that matter, my opinion is mine and if you can't see the forest through the trees then that would be your problem not mine.

    Unless the President is a Persona-user and can experience the Dark Hour in order to get that extra hour of the day, I really don't see this happening. The man's a busy man.

      Those 300-page-long Senate proposals don't read themselves.

          It would be quite unusual if you could read yourself. Unless, of course, you have a bad habit of passing out around a bunch of your friends who happen to have Sharpies on them.

            Seems strange you would write a response to someone who can't read, hmmmm.

              A rare combination of "reading comprehension failure" and "WHOOSH!!" in the same post, and under 20 words at that!
