what's funny about this is canuck actually thinks the black,
communist
kenyan was at the airport inspecting this person.

guess he's too stupid to know the TSA was formed by bush

oh well. the klan klown kanuck just keeps showing that his view of
blacks is that everyone should own one

This is an executive branch agency and operates under the rules made
by the current administration. Obama could change the policy with the
stroke of a pen.

ZZZOOOOOMMMM!!! right over his head

the policies were created by the

WHITE

president.

the klan klown kanuck, like you, wants to blame the

black

president for an incident he had NOTHING to do with. why?

because he's an uppity black

If Obama wants to change ANYTHING Bush created it is his prerogative.
They both have exactly the same job and exacty;y the same power. The
problem is Obama is simply Bush 44 and continued virtually every Bush
policy unchanged.

I think you are wrong here. He just doesn't have the initiative or the
balls to change anything...

Really:

I?m sick and tired of people asking ?What has Obama done?? So here?s a
list of things he?s done since he?s been in office. Remember: He was
elected President. He wasn?t elected Jesus!

The list is still growing. Let me know if I missed anything.

1.

2. ( lets keep this list going)

this took me to a report of American jobs going to China because the
California Govt knows we are going to bail them out anyway... Just more
blue state bull****...

Here you go, but I'm sure you don't want to read it....
