Bet you dumb old Freepers didn't know I was born in Honolulu. I bet you don't know the real reason I don't ice cream. I bet you didn't know I worked for Aunt Esther before I married her. I bet you don't know how I paid for my palace. And I bet you do know about my other heroes like Marx, Lenin, Castro, Chavez, and Rev. Wright.

There are many things we won’t know about Obama, and may never know since he has kept a tight lid on his past.

I doubt he ever worked at a Baskin Robbins and this is just one of at least 3 pictures I have seen of him eating ice cream. Scorpions Sting, Marxists Lie, it’s just what they do. Hey, I think I will use that as my new tag line. After all didn’t the teleprompter fall to the floor and have an untimely death?

After he ate this to prove he is normal, he went to the hospital and had it pumped out. Ice cream is poison to aliens.

11. He’s an America-hating Marxist.
12. He’s a racist buffoon.
13. He’s a lying, ego-maniacal nincompoop!

“Barak” is not a Swahili word. It is an Arabic word. It was the name of the magical horse Mad Mo rode, and it does mean blessed. But not in Swahili. Let’s all remember that Obama has an ARAB MUSLIM name and chose to use that, not the Americanized “Barry” he bore during his youth. So we see where his sympathies lie.
