Sad thing is evidence is coming out of how the election was won hacking the machine with a program for a democrat congressman now has it nation wide for there party to flip poll results truth is coming and win it comes to paying the piper democrats will cry race and then attack and blame everyone but them self. I see impeachment coming soon enough for Obama the whole nation knows he lied and can not back track fast enough.
