No doubt! 0bammy is the President of the United States now (unfortunately) not the Mayor of Dogpatch.

You insult Clem Kaddiddlehopper. He wouldn’t know what to do, but he’d be nice. Obama couldn’t even do that.
Hey doesn’t Walmart have that set? $39.95?
Obama was bored... Brown didn't fawn enough.
My apologies to Kaddiddlehoppers everywhere.
Obama’s African family has little connection with slavery. They may have sold some of their African brothers as slaves for all we know.
And his mothers side of the family were slaveholders.
Obama’s has about as much connection to slavery as I do as a descendant of Italian immigrants.
