Oh yeah — and didn’t Joe Biden want to join the military? I thought I had heard something about that?

He wanted to join before he decided against joining and then proceeded to garner four or five deferments?

Hhhhuuuummmm, curious?

Sssssoooo essentially what we have is two dem wannabe’s running for the white house...and didn’t the media eat Cheney alive for his deferments...hhhhuuuummmm.....

My 8 year old daughter, soon to be black belt in Tae Kwon Do, named Sara wants to be called “Sarah ‘cuda” would whip the Obamessiah’s ass.

He’s lying. And we all know it.

The Big “O” is a TRUE girly man for sure! All hat and no cattle.

His outlandish comments remind me of the Clintons trash talk.
