Obama got elected. That in itself is proof there are a lot of
uneducated,
gullible Americans out there.


Ain't that the truth.




Well, I'm glad two of the idiots who voted for the Dead Man Walking and

Obama will be lucky if he finishes term one. We need to get people
working again earning fair wages doing meaningful work. Obama isn't
about that. He's about spreading the wealth with no return on
investment. Recipe for disaster.
