    With this ring I thee wed, with my body I thee worship, and with all my worldly goods I thee endow.

I hope that doesn't meant he will worship his bride.....I only worship God.

Funambulist obozo has to tread carfully now that he is about to lose the Christian over vote over the issue of religious freedom.

Wow. Today of all days, I see on Fox, AFTER posting the class, that permission was given to a funambulist to walk a tightrope across Niagara Falls.

My pleasure ... but just knowing that one's vocabulary is expanded & enriched is gratitude enough. < /BS off >

BTW, this local feat of funambulism looks like it may finally take place.

I saw that, 33 is way to young to die, he’d better make it.

As the maintenance supervisor where I once worked used to say every morning-Christ, what a s***ty day...

Obama is a poor funambulist,
His lack of skill is showing-
Every time he says “fair share”
His nose almost starts growing

Because he says all the “rich”
Are living almost tax-free
As he pockets campaign cash
From China’s best friend, GE

And as if that is not enough
He tells us to go to hell
By hogging up most of Aspen
For another holiday for Michelle
