President Obama's promise of hope appears now to be just an eidolon as the country teeters on anarchy. No answer to the Black Panther's bounty on a United States citizen. Eric Holder has made no statements telling them to stand down. Obama rambles on that if he had a son he would look like Trayvon. Leadership from Obama is spotty at best, non-existent at worse. A race war with images of blacks rioting over this case could well doom his candidacy.

The President’s foreign policy is also an eidolon. He is going to sell us out to the Russians the day after the election.

Eidolon (eye dough lin)

Yep, For once Noe Webster got it right. At the moment (and five years of moments) I’m idling (eidolon) between jobs.

Don’t quite get this fella, Phan Tom though. Has to be flat lander and foreigner, besides, What kinda sissy sings in an opera for a job? Maybe he filled out a job apparition for it.

I tried to get off unemployment after being on it for 150 weeks, but they wouldn’t let me. They said “Eidelon! We need the work!.”

Obamacare, liberal eidolon
Cradle to grave, head to colon
Barry hid every fact
Left the death squads intact

It should doom his presidency, but it won’t. Can you imagine if this had been Bush?
