Fox is showing a bunch of pretty young types in front of the White House singing. Is it just me or does that seem rather odd?
This is going to be the gift that keeps on giving I see.
When President Obama said he captured the perpetrator of 9/11, I thought he sent GW Bush to Gitmo!
Obamazombies.
What’s that Chuck? Are you saying that Obama is NOW a bad man? Amerikka? Then GTFO and take Alarm Clock boy and the rest of your Black Pamper brigade with you.
It's just you. In the ninth inning of the Mets/Phillies game, fans were chanting "U.S.A." The players on the field were puzzled, since they were the only ones who didn't have cell phones or PDAs on at the time.
What’s a chuck D?
Put your drones in the air, like you just don’t care!
Doesn’t Obama know that by killing Osama Bin Laden he is just creating MORE TERRORISTS!! Where are the moonbats to protest Obama’s “illegal war”????
Was Osama “east coast” or “west coast” ?
You can get creative with what the “D” stands for.
Way too odd. Watch the other hand, people.

Sounds like Chuck D just discovered that Obama is half-white.
