I’m still unconvinced about his writing ability. Perhaps if we could get a peek at his college thesis...

The Obama Administration is on record co-opting the National Endowment For The Arts to serve as the State Propaganda office for Obama’s policies.

If you accept the premise, and I do, that the United States is the most powerful country in the world, then Barack Obama is the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar.

This statement defies logic.

He may have the same level of ambition as Caesar.

Once you have written about The One, what else is there to write about?

Rush Limbaugh is an American and he writes too. What about him?

People like Rocco Landesman could give bootlickers and sychophants a bad name.

Rush Limbaugh writes his own books and can speak with a teleprompter.

Barack H. Obama II can do neither.

Forget Perot’s “Sucking sound of jobs going south”.

Now we get the sucking sound of a commie artist praising the Obamassiah. All this on our tax dollars, no less.

BAH! HUMBUGGERY ! ! !
