If Obama was elected in 1945 instead of 2008 we’d all be eating sushi and driving Toyotas.

That is because he is intentionally trying to ignite a global conflict before election day. Obama want chaos and conflict worldwide. That has always been his goal from day one.

Hague was on tv last night, looking totally unconvincing as he said that he would “allow” Gaddafi to go on residing in Libya. Yeah ... like it is his choice.
