Obama apologists would have us believe that Obama's penchant to lie is just a bagatelle. Truth is that they add up to his entire life being lies. Only a fool can vote for him again.

Once a liar...

A vote is not a bagatelle.

Every one is deadly Serious.

I believe you're thinking of the French term "baguette," n'est　pas? Nothing like a good baguette, fresh from the oven - I prefer mine with Brie and a nice red wine.

Honestly i feel that someone beat me with a rubber hose. i ache in every fiber of my being! i aspire to be coordinated to pull this off one day. i can do either the feet or the arms, but i can’t possibly do them both at the same time at this point.

Just to change First “Lady” is enough to vote this November — the current bagatelle us anything to conform our behavior to some norm that they don’t even adhere to...

[tioga]

Friends keep trying to get me to a water zumba class.

Unfortunately, the Narcissist-in-Chief is a mere soupçon, a bagatelle, an insubstantial cipher, when what the Nation needs is un homme à cheval, un homme combattant, un homme sans rival!

O’s campaign: naught but lies, bagatelles
The economy? A mere bag of shells
Romney cut some kid’s hair
Moved some dough “over there”
Let’s just pray none of O’s bullsh*t sells

[tioga]

Eat your broccoli, while I eat French fries. A+++

Only a fool can vote for him again.

Some fools will, either because of his skin's melanin content or because they are on the receiving end of his transfer of wealth from the successful to the not-so-successful.

One point remains clear to me. There is not one single person in the entire United States of America who voted for John McCain in 2008 who will vote for Barack Obama in 2012.
