Gravitas, that liberal standard they tried to apply to anyone who wasn’t a liberal, is now coming back to haunt the the Democratic party.
Obama’s administration of change, has no gravitas, only Clinton retreads.
Hillary is scheduling a trip to Southeast Asia, while the Mid-East is boiling over. What crisis is there in Southeast Asia?
Folks, hang on, because it’s going to be a wild ride with this group.
The master has spoken, he said he was sorry, so we can now all go off to la-la happy-fairy-land where Obammy speaks, and everything is perfect.
“Don’t bring an apology to a nuke fight.”
mistakes like Katrina. I remember him taking full responsibility for the FEMA collapse.
When they meet:
Oslama will soil his pants in sh#t-scared fear.
Putin will soil his pants from maniacal laughter.
I should have known that’s what they were up to.
