Actually, I think President Park Geun-Hye has been a good president. Very hard-working and tough yet diplomatic, and does a lot to promote economic development. In some ways she reminds me of Ronald Reagan.

So Obama was snowballing with Anderson Cooper. Does that mean Obama was getting Teabagged too? Holy sh*t.
