Sit down and shut up. Your cowardice in the face of your political enemies provides a sterling example of what NOT to do.
So glad he told obama this! Not.
Go back to your hole bush.
Why did we invade Iraq if not for anger at Saddam Hussein. Admit that and I will listen to you with respect.
George, thank for that economic situation you let fester until it exploded in your face, giving us Barack Hussein Obama as president.
Your insight is never appreciated.
STFU you twerp. Pass that around to the other idiots in your family.
