who in their right mind would give money to someone with a web page like this? Sounds like a “lost Nigerian bank account” letter

That is understandable, after all, Obama is impersonating a president!

I really cannot understand why they would take $50,000 from ANYBODY when it’s just as easy, perhaps easier with less negatives, to just take $50 from, say, 1000 Chinese dishwashers.

Businessmen deserve what they get. They go around exploiting the proletariat and third world countries, so of course there’s payback time. Assongbo merely did her patriotic duty by defrauding that businessman./sarc

Gee, with that Obama smile reminds me of Dick Van Dyke. Maybe aO-Bama is a White Kenyan....funny how he COMPLETELY divorces himself from his mother’s genes.

Where did they go or where will they go? Look at it this way. Where Sen. McCain is was a true War Hero and he couldn’t get the votes, how many do you think “Mittens”, the GOP-e’s latest blue blood RINO will get?
