What did we expect from a Muslim, King Obama, the communists BLACK Muslim traitor? Americans don’t have a clue how bad America has been attacked and nearly destroyed by this King. When the shi! hits the fan America will never survive the total destruction from it’s own ignorant people. All it will take is about 20 million violent ars hats and the Country will crash.
