He’s just about done that with the once great USA. Now he wants to do it with the planet?
Why not? Obama is doing everything he can to condemn our children to a nation beyond repair.
Obama wants to give Iran nukes because Obama wants Iran to use suitcase nukes against us in the USA.

A carefully planned, 115-day scientific expedition on the Canadian icebreaker CCGS Amundsen has been put on hold as the vessel was called to help resupply ships navigate heavy ice on the eastern side of Hudson Bay....
Johnny Leclair, assistant commissioner for the Coast Guard, said Tuesday conditions in the area are the worst hes seen in 20 years.
Good job brownie. You’ve nearly made the US “beyond repair”.
Obama - always campaigning, always organizing, always rallying against local government in favor of world-wide tyranny.
It’s what he does.
So did Hussein ride his bike to Alaska?
Clearly, the Religion of Gaia destroys rational thought even as it mesmerizes many Useful Idiots.
Lands, I wish someone would shove a sock in his ugly mouth.
It will take four GOP presidents to undo the damage 0bozo has done.
2 The2:11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,
Alaskans need to “get some skin in the game” with Obonzo and demand that the state use the permanent dividend fund to help save “da enviomen” rather than send everyone a check every year.
