Obama has exterpated America as we know it. He promised change, we got it. And he's proud of it...

Congress needs to extirpate Obama from the White House and any remnant of him from the government — IMPEACH.

The one good thing in Virginia’s favor is their prohibition against a 2nd term for a Governor. I used to think that was short-sighted, but the law givers in VA must have seen McCauliffe coming when they wrote that provision.

Did you see that interview? First of all, he looks about 25 and the smug attitude defines why I despise this administration. It was like arguing with a teenager, which I did last night. I asked the spouse why he didn’t confront her on what she was saying and what they were teaching. He said she’s 17, she thinks she knows it all, why waste my time arguing with her? I said because she’s WRONG!

In the case of most of the slimestream media, and in the case of that idiot Tommy Vietor (see interview on FOX last night), the word should actually be ‘extwerpate’.

Abe Lincoln was the Great Emancipator
Now Obama is the Great Extirpator
Constitution destroyed
*HALF the voters annoyed
We need Reagan, the Great Communicator

*The other half is enjoying their free stuff.
