At first I thought “At least Obama is out in front and showing some leadership” and then I thought “Oh ya, that whole 7 year peace deal thing mentioned in the bible ... uh oh ..”

Oh, I see what they did - they changed the tint of the carpet and lightened Barack even more than he already is.

Bastards!
