A member of the Tea Party . org is trying to use this site as a scare tactic. He is claiming that this government is going to use public health faculties as concentration camps. He is showing you information that was terminated after the discovery of certain flu vaccines. They are just like the left who trying to frighten you with this election. Obama needs to be removed but on facts not fiction.
Fact he been campaigning the first entire term of his office
Fact he made numerous enemies with countries who use to be our friends
Fact he didn't take out the nuclear plants in Iran which now endanger the USA . He allowed a madman Ahmadinejad to make nuclear weapons to be used against us and all western countries.
Fact he's a weak president and no country has respect for him and are laughing not only behind his back but to his face.
Fact he bypassed congress with the Libya war.
Fact he helped Islamic Terrorist groups like the Muslim Brotherhood to take over Egypt and invited them to the White House knowing that they are on the Terrorist list, He place people in the media on Terrorist list and controls the media with these lists and threats.
Fact he is thin skin that a fellow who was 16 at the time in the UK called him a Bastard Obama then banned him from ever entering the USA.
Fact he brought over close to 300 thousand Muslims to this country gave them $250,000.00 homes marked for people who are homeless and went into foreclose. He put them on social security, gave them medicare, gave them green cards, gave them the jobs he said he created for America.
These are some of the facts and the only way to reverse what he did is to vote for Leah Lax.
