What is wrong with these people? Don’t they know that The One will bring peace to the world and all will unite to live in perfect harmony? ;-)
A better question is do they even care that Obama is “The One.” Short answer...no!

The Mookie Sadr thugs have been having protests in support of Gaza here on Fridays. I can hear ‘em just outside the wire with some crazed leader shouting crap trhough a bullhorn and the crowd responding. Maybe they’ll burn “O’s” picture on Friday. They tend to take their lead from the Iranian Mullahcracy scum.
Photo opportunity....
I thought the whole world was going to love us again because a dem was back in the white house? What happened to the honeymoon? He’s not even in office yet.
If they were going to burn an 0bama picture, why didn’t they burn the unicorn painting? Or the hawaii shirtless photo? If ever there was a picture that needed to be burned . . . (shudder).
