In Obama’s administration everything is behind closed doors except Obama’s relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood and yet people still ask if Obama is a Muslim??????

5 Congress critters wanted to know about Huma Abedin and her known relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood, and the rest of Congress chastised them for it. WTF???

We are sending Billion to help the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt, Syria and Libya.. WTF????

While this Muslim clown is in Hawaii threatening to destroy the Constitution if he doesn’t get his way.

What does it take to wake up these sorry pukes in the Congress?
