TIME. Republicans are starting to criticize Obama for the failure in Libya. TIME, why are you socialist commies NOT criticizing Obama FOR HIS FAILURES. You don’t have to answer that questions because you socialist frauds are to busy covering his anti american rear end, which you totally agree with. Your magazine is pathetic. As a matter of fact you should change the name to SOCIALIST TIMES.
