Oh boy. Our enemies must be licking their chops. We’d all better run for cover, cause this ain’t gonna turn out pretty.

The leaders of countries who have been our allies for years don’t think much of the Obamination. The dictators around the world embrace him and he embraces them.

Pretty d*mn telling.

I don’t know about enemy of the state but he is certainly an enemy of America, Americans and our Republic.

They have zero problem lecturing the people that pay the freight for this country, however.

He probably sat down with chavez and offered him thick turkish coffee and told him how great he was (old arab negotiating ploy.) Undoubtably, they were best friends for life shortly after.

Yeah, sure, whatever. Iran just told you they would cut off any outstretched hand and called you weak. The world’s countries are lining up to call you and us weak.

Yep, I think the pictures are great but the caption is off target. Barry O is the greatest friend “The State” ever had.
