Uh..Hey! Barack!

Just cuz you quit fighting, does NOT mean America is not in a “major war”.

Given your track record (jerkwad), we’re probably going to get hit again soon, since you have a habit of sticking your foot in your mouth.

“Is that photo of Obama with the ice cream cone in front of the casket real or photo-shopped?”

I asked myself that question too, for a second. Very telling that we’d consider such within the realm of possibilities of his actions.

There’s plenty of war out there, and he is responsible for it.

We’re in a major war with Islam, but only Islam is fighting it.

The guy has more against him than Slick Willie but McDumbo Mitch and Bonehead Boehner won’t touch him.

Because Barky has a boatload of blackmailable offense on them.

Barry Hussein Soetoro giving a speech on Memorial day to me is ludicrous.

the ground wars are over? Or they just don’t count as ground wars if we stand by and watch savages kill and enslave former “ coalition partners”

New definition of peace in our time?
