Lovely
...and so it begins. Debt and unemployment like we’ve never seen.
Strap in, boys.
Here we go

Hory Clap!

Not sure this one development will sink us, but it seems our economy is so weak under Obama that who gets elected in France can harpoon the USA. That shouldn’t be the case.
Oh great I’m listening to the news now. This socialist bum will increase spending and debt, is anti-American, anti-NATO, and plans to pull out of Afghanistan. A perfect friend for Obama.

Stock market drop, unemployment up, and a recession is the perfect recipe for a defeat of our sociopathic socialist president.
Axis-rod can eat sh**!
