The One's integrity and compassion for America is as vacuous
as is his transparency, accountability, and documentation.

I wish our president was just vacuous, but he’s not, he’s dangerous and an enemy of the state.

Empty chair, empty suit, empty rhetoric.
Obama has more empties than a sports bar after the Super Bowl.

It is often difficult to tell where incompetence ends and evil intentions begin. The result is the same, regardless of the cause.

It would be difficult to improve upon a picture of our fearless leader beneath the listing for “vacuous” in the dictionary.

I saw a posting on Twitter about Justin Bieber. He had put a sign up in his cell that said:
“Free J.B.”
Unfortunately, his cellmate is dyslexic.
