At the point where an undocumented immigrant passed himself off as qualified to take office.

You have to think like they do. They don’t plan on all of us being around to buy electric cars. They plan on getting rid of as many people as necessary to save the planet.
Screw the nation, as long as Obama’ political base is motivated!
