The Cretin-in-Chief couldn’t balance a brick on the floor.

Obama has replaced JFK as a god-like figure whom all good people bow down and worship. The man can do no wrong.

They've compared him to JFK, FDR, MLK, Lincoln, Washington, and even Henry V.

Did Obama set a date when Club Gitmo is closing? If I remember correctly this was the first thing he was going to do once elected.

Killing people for political expediency is not a re-definition of the Democratic Party.
