“The Honorable Deval Patrick Governor of Massachusetts”

Question, is Deval gonna lift from Obama’s remarks or is it the other way around.

Speaking about tornadoes. There were 2 tornadoes hit in the Denver area on Sunday, and there was a tornado watch again yesterday. From the looks of it there are going to be heavy rains with more severe thunderstorms in the next couple of days. That hurricane is coming up the Sea of Cortez off of the coast of Mexico and CA, and it's bringing torrential rains. Hopefully, it will wash out Obama's grandstanding in the open stadium.

Of course, I would never wish a tornado would hit that stadium and kill all of those liberals, but if God wants to do it, then I have no say in the matter. I mean, after all, they are the party of abortion murder, and homosexuality, and those are two huge no-no's to God, so He could have an axe to grind with them. LOL You can't really blame Him. ;o)
