FUBO! First among many to come, I’ll bet! :)
Addressing Illinois in Springfield? *Sigh* He really IS like Lincoln after all!
When did he mention Global Warming?
“I, I, I, my, our, my, I, I ......”
Criminals frequently return to the scene of the crime....
where he sponsored a bill to authorize murdering babies AFTER LIVE BIRTH (when murdering them before birth failed for any reason....etc)
When is the fundraiser?
I’m sure one of the branches of the Baraq Hussein Obama Presidential Library and Choom Gang Museum will be in Chicago.
And it will need a bunch of state dough to help it along.
This is part of the process.
