Please, enlighten us as to what in the article is a rewrite of history.
Or is throwing unsubstantiated spitballs all that you can do?

He should get a refund. If you are going to re-write history, at least try to make it look like something that actually resembles the truth. This piece is just more red meet for the already deluded. I wonder what these propagandists will write when Obama gets re-elected next year.

After horrible hurricane, was awhile before Bush was asked for help. Recent floods in democrat States received swift aid. Mass fires in Republican State of Texas, they are still waiting ? Folks in Joplin airn’t waiting for barry, local communities are coming to their aid. Missouri is Republican.
I don’t blame barry playing bing bong. He can multi task. But what is his excuse for Texas fires. Revenge ???
Barney Frank who said Fannie & Freddy was sound, helping stop Bush’s attempts to reform our financial world with regulation, was wrong which aloud recession to continue it’s spread. Now we find out Barney helped his boyfriend get a job at Fannie in 1991. Ethic committee needs to investigate.
Must ado was made about Aronld on this site. Will equal time be given to lasted news about John Edwards ? Will it be a article by a liberal ?

is a succinct and appropriate word to describe the progressive, tax and spend, liberal Democrat old guard as well as the RHINOs who voted against Ryan's plan.
The Ryan plan is solution oriented designed to put the nation back on a better financial footing by addressing the major money pit social programs that drains the nation of it's wealth. The onus is now on the Democrat party to explain why they chose the status quo of do nothing rather than practice their fiduciary responsibility as representatives of America's electorate. If you don't like Ryan's plan, then where's your sensible solution Democrat party. As of yet, we're still waiting for something from that side of the aisle. BTW, raising the debt ceiling is not a solution, it's only license to spend.
As for Obama, the line from Forest Gump. . . "Stupid is as stupid does!" adequately describes the abject failure of our 44th president.

life after these tornadoes? I live in KS and have been subjected to those tornado warnings and I'm hearing on the news every day what is going on in Joplin and other places but I'm still living my life. You can't sit and perpetually mourn! I realize the President is powerful, but don't think he can stop a tornado! Give him a fricking break! He certainly handles disasters as well as (or better than) bushie did! You're obviously a repug!

The president is on a diplomatic mission to Europe. The media here at home is not flooded with news of the disaster in Missouri. I woke up to news this morning of Jennifer Lopez's sexy dance with Mark Anthony and the anniversary of the bikini. I get The Guardian and New York Times news alerts on my phone every morning. Today's alert: "Democrats Put GOP on Spot as Medicare Plan Fails". Nothing about Joplin son.
