“Weaker Friends, Stronger Enemies, and a Crippled America - That’s Par For the Course”
“The Clinton’s stole the WH china; the Obama’s stole your future”

“Let Them Eat Arugula”

“So A Muslim, a Marxist, and a Mulatto walk into a bar, and the Bartender says, ‘Mr. Obama, this is no joke!’”
“Some People Make Things Happen, Some People Watch Things Happen, and Some People Say, ‘What Next, Mr. Soros?’”
but let’s cut to the chase:
“Obama Macht Frei”
