....Obama said so...

We need to be rid of this guy right away, not until January. I don't trust him with anything.

Following the vote, send in the Marines, secure the White House.

That makes 3 possible wag-the-dog targets for Zero on the weekend before the debate: Yemen, Benghazi, or northern Mali.

Our Bi-polar, Bi-sexual, Bi-racial, Bi-Citizenship, Marxist, Mudslime, Manchurian Candidate told us these camel humpers are on the run so this story must be false.

Even if that’s true, (IIRC) 2/3 of the Senate would have to approve removal of sanctions. There wouldn’t be enough time before the election for verifying the Atomic Ayatollahs’ “sincerity”. That dog won’t hunt.

Very few realize HOW secretly involved US Forces are in Mali and elsewhere. And it’s been going on for a good while.

Hey, yeah, we’ll just clean up Africa, yup..!

Should be cheap.
