Unexpected!
*Drink*
Yeah, 90 some odd hours is pretty quick.....

Just long enough to get a relaxing weekend vacation at Camp David.
I wonder how many afghans will be coming across the Mexican border to join those flown in by biden?
Yeah, we know...10% to the big guy

He heard evacuate and ran for the crapper.
Quick perusal seems to indicate the networks were not impressed with the speech.
They did..they gave Iran a pallet full of money.
And bombed Lybia?
Appoint Obama Grand Caliph of Afghanistan!
Show the video of the jet taking off from Kabul and then show a video of AF1 heading back to Camp David.
” more quickly than he expected “
That was the understatement of the decade.
No decent President would go to Camp David at this time. Reminds me of Obama going to Vegas while Benghazi was going down.
Wait till next week when all the women are wearing Burqas, when girls are no longer allowed in school, when 8 year old become “brides”.
