With eight Billion, contractors could install 5 layers of fence down the Texas Rio Grande.

But not our border, nope. Again Obama is sticking Americans in the eye and
boasting about it.

None of this is about Obama for you. You are a Russian propagandist and cheering for restoration of Soviet Union. You are only bringing Obama into these things to sell your Soviet Empire cheerleading to good people on Free Republic.

He can’t count either —

It was a measly $8 million — not $8 billion.

He was only off by 7 billion 992 million dollars
