That’s only because those that like it are illiterate.

“SOME” Chicagoans are beginning to see the Kenyan for what he is.
So sad it’s a decade too late.

Next, how about, actually, resolving Chicago’s crime problems and ending gun control?

It is purposely ugly, a blight on America.
Just like how he wants to have the eternal flame at his gravesite with Americans footing the millions of dollars worth of upkeep.

Like in the movie “The Ten Commandments” I wish we could scrub the land of the name of Obama any and all vestiges of the Obama history...
Make his name a byword for a curse

This is unseemly. I bet the Pharaohs didn’t get this kind of pushback. Maybe if Obama would do a better job of mentioning that Michelle’s dresses will be housed in the Cenotaph, all would be well.

Library, eh? Eventually it will be a mosque and who will dare criticize that?
