President Obama's weekly remarks

Hi, everybody. The right to vote is one of the most fundamental rights of any democracy. Yet for too long, too many of our fellow citizens were denied that right, simply because of the color of their skin.

Fifty years ago this week, President Lyndon Johnson signed a law to change that.

Well, Obama has certainly done his part in changing it.

America is now a borderless, faggoty cesspool of a country, thanks to his efforts. A disgrace to everything it once was and once stood for.

Just him promulgating Doublethink again. After all, in 1984, the Ministry of Love was all about . . .
