Since obamanation likes the comparison to Kennedy & Clintoon, will he also follow in their footsteps w/attractive women on staff? Will this one become the next Monica Lewinsky? Only time will tell. You can bet your booties that mainstream media won’t report it.

Are these the rich upper crust black people who are going to help the poor downtrodden black ones? How’s that working out so far?

Imagine Michelle going all “Aunt Esther” when she catches Barry trying to quietly sneak back into “da crib” after one of those “sessions.”

I knew a girl named Desirée when I was growing up.

Last I heard, she was a stripper.
