Lame duck courtiers who can’t face the end of the Naked Emperor’s term. May they rot.
This article could pass as an emetic.
“Cool clock” my arse. All this Muslim twit did was to take apart a clock made by some company somewhere.
Omoron should talk to Hillary Clinton. I’m sure she will be able to educate him about emails and tweets.
Whatever happened to just writing a letter. Must everything be tweeted? Does anyone anywhere have any manners any more?
Kinda late in the game.
There are many, many variations of uhhh, uhhh, uhhhh, uhhh.....
Your tax dollars at work.
Obama’s voice online? Just do a web search for “flatulence” and “audio”.
Americans get killed by foreigners here and abroad, not a peep from Obama for days if not weeks until forced by public outrage.
A muslim kid creates a terror incident in a school, and Obama is quick to defend the little terrorist by covering for him.
Cool president, not. An arse of a president, sure. Can't wait until 2017 rolls around and that turd is shoveled out of the White House. But the stink he created will remain forever.
that will stick in my mind for a long time to come.
A digital team?
Which digit?
Or a ‘team’ of them?
With an autotuner? Like a rapper?
In another year he might be up to speed with the 21st century.
Naked emperor on display with his dork hanging out.
Obama didn’t care about the girl in Katy who was taught that God’s existence is not factual.
Muslim Brotherhood runs the White House. Of course members of CAIR are going to do the messaging.
I saw this article and was about to post it. A voice for who? He has no voice, meaning he has no voice politically.
When it comes to having a voice about anything he is simply mute. He has no voice because he stands for nothing. ZERO. Nada. Negative numbers.The New York Times always finds a way to insult my intelligence whatever the subject.
NYT get the fug out of here.
