FUN FACT: The rich tripled their wealth under Obama. He helped the oligarchy gain the capital they needed to destroy America, just as he allowed those who crashed the housing market in 2008 to go Scott free, and make more and more money. Endless money. Fuck Obama.

"Why aren't the Free Palestine people cheering about the ceasefire?"
