White House press secretary Jay Carney could not offer a tangible reason to explain why it took the Obama administration two years to label Boko Haram a terrorist organization Friday on MSNBC.
He cited a number of lesser measures the administration implemented to address the group’s heinous acts, but stopped short of stating what kept Boko Haram off the State Department’s terror organization list between 2011 and 2013:

And where are the Women Students?
With their loud voices shrill?
What was the real target
Of the Democrat’s War on Women?
Surely their real target
Was not the Republicans,
Or, - - - really and truly is it?
Obama’s foreign policy, once again, bites it.
The SAG fags holding up the signs ... do they really think these illiterate savages are going to demand that someone explain to them what they say, and then that they are going to say,
“Wow, we’re really ashamed of ourselves! We’d better return these girls.”?
No, it’s just more vain grandstanding from guys who have their hair styled. Just lefty political correctness, like Hildabeast refusing to call a spade a spade.
I’ll take “Because the White House Is Populated with Sniveling Dumbasses” for $500, Alex.
Because “A Whiter Shade of Pale” was a good song?
