The Hollywood Liberal is an anti-war, anti republican, from right here beautiful Hollywood California. This site was originally started to help get The Worst President Ever G.W. Bush Jr. Out of office. Now that we have accomplished that the goal is to get Obama to start acting like a Democrat, and not an butt kissing Republican Wannabee. We will continue to fight for that goal . Thanks H.L.
