MEMO TO PRESIDENT OBAMA: Time to resign before you have to face impeachment charges AND before angry voters defeat you in the election.

Go live in Hawaii while we will still give you free airplane rides.

Yep. Americans are being killed and wounded in what can only be called a terrorist attack and he criticizes Americans for using free speech.

My wife and I are sitting on pins and needles tonight... Our son is a Inf Platoon Leader in the area (can't say where).
His unit is assigned to a rapid reaction force whose mission is to air assault into a embassy,secure it and effect the evacuation of the non combatants ,by any means necessary. It's not just the Marines anymore.....
Keep him in your prayers

Prayers for your son and for all innocent Americans throughout the Arab world who are under threat from Muslim terrorists encouraged by the Muslim in the White House.
