“Obama is an utter simpleton”

That’s an insult to simpletons.

While we’re at it how about a situation comedy about the wild and crazy antics of a bunch of happy-go-lucky SS death camp guards?

Just have Colonel Klink as the Kommandant of Auschwitz.

Off the top of my head, I can’t think of “one muslim character that isn’t unrelated to National security”..

They are all a threat..even obama.

(This would be laughable if it wasn’t so pathetic)

Bring back the 70s!!! Plenty of Muslims were on TV that don't relate to national security.
