You got it, I have no doubt as we speak their hired thugs are looking for an unbalanced white supremacist and looking for a way to put him in position to eliminate the “Obama problem”..

I don’t doubt that the Clintons will try Arkancide, however, I believe that Obama will survive it. I don’t know why, just a creepy hunch.
