I’ll bet Soros is giving Obama an earfull right now... “you idiot... I bet half my portfolio on the fall of Egypt.. can’t you do anything right?”
What the h3ll did we expect? Sudden wisdom from Zero?
OMG.
Watching Glenn Beck now. He has been covering all this quiet extensively over the past 2 weeks.
He is right.
Sunrise surprises this administration.
And I’ve got a grandaughter that wears an Obama tee shirt.
God !
Yeah, and after listening to the message for weeks, Obambi still doesn’t know what to say when he does answer.
Chuckle...
These guys in office havent a clue as to what is going on. Embarrassing to say the least, frightening mostly.
Just one more in a string of foreign policy defeats for “The Won”.
He’s so bad.
Too bad for you Obama you are not calling the shots
