For today’s lesson, I looked up the word “deleterious,” and the dictionary said, “see Obamacare.”

Maybe, when this ridiculous policy ends, I can get a bank statement that says something other than: "You have earned 39 cents this quarter." Pity it costs them a 46 cent stamp to tell me that.

The Kenyan usurper’s reign of terror has been most deleterious to my mental health.

Nearly everything the obama administration does is deleterious to America, and the defeat of Ken Cuccinelli is deleterious to both Virginia and our entire nation!!!!

Deleterious is a good word,
but I liked Jefferson’s word for describing great cities:

PESTILENTIAL.

His remaining positive approval rating includes primarily the freeloaders and the socialists. Most of the rest of us had him figured out from Day One.

PESTILENTIAL.

An excellent rhyming description of our fearless leader's leadership skills.

(Note to Barry--you're supposed to be PRESIDENTIAL.)
