Nah, just a spontaneous reaction to something the motorcyclist saw on YouTube.

Now Hussein will blame Republicans for embarrassing him on his precious much-needed debate day.

Must have actually taken his job seriously. Obviously for the hussein administration, that is a dangerous thing to do.

The whole policy has fallen apart and 0bama has created a much more dangerous world.

People often have wondered in the past, what would happen to the world without America, in truly less than 4 years we see a glimpse of what could be.

Romney is going to need to turn this all around in the first 6 months. From economy to foreign policy to instituting an immigration plan. Strike plan...make that a policy and program.

If Romney wins, the only thing standing between him and saving the world...just might be God's own plan. Revelations many say doesn't contain America...but I always remind them that prophecy often refers to the Eagle. And now I am meditating on how God often chooses the most unlikely of people to triumph his plans.

But there are only 30 or 40 Al-Queda left the administration tells us! The administration said that terrorism has been solved by Obama’s new tone!

The reporter must be wrong.

(/sarcasm off)

Well there’s going to be a talking point for Ryan to bring up at tonight’s VP debate.

Is the poor opsec out of the Obama Administration just pure incompetence or is it something more sinister?

The debate tonight is going to be incredible. What concerns me is the prep Ryan is doing and if Romney/Ryan are even getting accurate intel from the Administration.

I would be highly suspect of any “gaffes” Ryan makes as the intel being fed the Romney/Ryan tema may very likely be incomplete or even less than accurate.

If the regime told such a huge lie to the American public, little lies to Romney/Ryan to make look like buffoons is most likely.

If Romney is elected he will not only have AQ and the economy to battle, but the dems and their media will unleash a hailstorm of attacks and place so many obstructions along the way...it will not be pretty. Millions of homeless will suddenly arise from the woodwork, global warming will become catastrophic....

Wikipedia: City of Sanaa - Yemen: At an altitude of 2,300 metres (7,500 ft), it is also one of the highest capital cities in the world.

More altitude sickness.
