Obie posed in his secret costume for that one....and insisted that the panther whizz would have to wait until after the “shoot”
“Be interesting to see what Obama has to say about all of that.”
Obama: Coal plants? What coal plants? Uh, I just heard about this. Uh, where did they all go? Don’t look at me, uh, I didn’t do anything.
King Putt -—— Excellent
It’s one or the other, stupid, or not on our side. Take your pick.
I made my choice long ago and nothing he’s said or done since has made me think it was the wrong choice. Quite the opposite, in fact.
If the Dems ever really come to grips with the obvious he’ll be impeached. Or they can continue to delude themselves and give up another 5-6 Senate seats in 2016.
