lol; I did notice that. The weasels have trained us well. If he is there signing an agreement, I doubt they can hide it for long. Could just be security precautions, I suppose.

I guarantee that if OBozo goes to Afghanistan or Iraq, every single U.S. sniper ‘in country’ will have a Secret Service chaperon for the length of his stay.

Theater, more lies and he’s likely giving away millions/billions of our tax dollars to pay for this politically motivated charade.

First it is reported that he is there, then that report is denied, now it’s reported he’s there.

At this point, all I care about is that we DO NOT PAY THE RANSOM.

So the question remains: where is President Obama?”


Begin by checking all golf courses near his last know location and work your way out in a circular pattern. The only balls Obama has he doesn't spike, he tees them.

If you want to know if it is campaign based, just ask yourself what it is for. That’ll tell you.
