Happy hump day homework time.
The last good dem president, Harry Truman, was from Missouri. Not Kenya. And he was a haberdasher, not a community organizer.
The US has experienced great difficulty in the near-six-year interregnum following the end of Dubya’s presidency.
Obma seems to think this is the interregnum between his regime and the next, except he’s still spending our money. Nobody seems to be in charge of our foreign, or domestic, policy.
I read yesterday that some dimwit commentator on CNN mentioned that Obama was "born in Kenya" as she was providing commentary on the arrival of the Africans at the WH.
I could use an interregnum from the regular BS in DC.
The interregnum will only last two more years. Unless Obama completely tosses away the Constitution and declares himself Emperor for Life.
Until I see a birth certificate that is vetted by a conservative forgery expert, I won't argue with the commentator. She may have accidentally told the truth, a CNN no-no.

We could all use a break our “leaders.”
Good luck!
No wig for Moose last night?
Current one ends then, but the hitlery era begins....
she went with the African queen look.
I am so afraid you are right. I am getting disgusted and there aren’t even any declared contenders for the GOP for 2016. Rand Paul is working my nerve, he got up and left a table in Iowa when Rep King was being confronted by a “Dreamer” (how convenient, he said he had a media call to take), and today I see him dissing Perry on the TX Dream Act having incentivized illegals to come, when his OWN immigration stance is nothing to write home about. The Fat man in NJ is trailing hill, what in the world are we going to do for a legit candidate?
Yeah, that stupid looking bun was her nod to a full headdress!
Right now any dissent from the pro-everything crowd gets you labeled a hater. I’ve been laughing a bit over the anti-gun crowd acting like James Brady was a saint - they probably cheered when he was shot all those years ago since he was a Republican.....and they are having a crisis right now because conservatives are supporting Israel so they don’t want to, yet so many Jews have voted dem for so long it has to be a weird position for them to be so anti everything Israel. I’ve said for a long time, if Republicans were for free anything, the libs would be against it.....
