I read his/your article yesterday. I think the onsalaught of Zero speaches PROVE that the assertion that Zero is a Manchurian Candidate can not be refuted anymore. He is NEVER in the Oval office. He is ALWAYS out propagandizing to the idiot class...while the minions of the Fascist elite work their disgusting will.
