I wish we’d get a permanent break from her. What a fat-calved grifter.

So I said to Obama...I promise not to expose all the dope I have on you about your phony Birth Certificate, your multiple Social Security numbers, your passport fraud, your citizenship status, your horrible grades at college, your anti-American friends and ties with communists, and your real estate dealings, your ties to ACORN and the $$ they gave your campaign, etc....if, and only if...YOU GIVE ME A REALLY IMPORTANT JOB IN YOUR ADMINISTRATION.
