On big things and small, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton seem more alike each day

I think Hollywood could have saved itself some turmoil this year, and made a few bucks in the process, if it had held off on the new Ghostbusters movie and gone for something a little more current. There’s a great story sitting on the scriptwriting tarmac, just waiting for the proper writers to put a little creative wind under its wings. It may be seen as a cross between The Price is Right and a State Department version of Casino Royale.

The plot: shady individuals in the U.S. government load up a huge cargo plane with pallets of stacked hundred-dollar bills — close to $400 million in total — and fly them off to Switzerland, where they are covertly exchanged for Swiss Francs, Euros and other currencies, then sent on to Iran. All this under a shroud of secrecy and in the darkness of night. The cargo plane with the mountain of laundered cash lands in Tehran and moments later, another plane takes off with some American hostages, who are now free to return to the United States.

A spokesman for the U.S. State Department (I see Charlie Sheen in this challenging role) claims that there is “no connection” between the release of the hostages and the $400 million delivered to the very same airport where the hostages were waiting to be flown out. And he flatly rejects a statement from one of the hostages who said that they were kept on the tarmac in Tehran for “hours and hours,” while their handler told them they were “waiting for another plane (and) if that plane doesn’t come, we never let (you) go. ” The cash arrives in Tehran; the hostages leave Tehran. No connection. Pure coincidence.

Hillary copies everything Trump says. Unlike when she was running against Bernie.

Until this administration.

Indeed, she does.

Obama’s bribe money to Iran is the only time that “we”
KNOW about. I suspect that IF we only knew the crap he has
been up to in “his” administration; we would all get the
chills.

Hillary & Bill will only put his programs on steroids.

I liked this line... "So when U.S. President Barack Obama, wearing the smile of a cat belching on its way past an empty goldfish bowl..."

Have you noticed that every one of Obama's spokesmen from his press secretary to people at the State Department and Defense Department, have this same smug, cat-belching smile when they try to explain their lies to us?

Kids with slingshots breaking windows are insouciant.

Obama and Hillary are liars and criminals.

Chills is one thing; doing something about it is another. Admiral Yamamoto said after Pearl Harbor: “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”

When will We the People awaken? When will We the People fill with a terrible resolve?

That's because they both have the same owner.
