Americans are the biggest fools in history, keep watching and you'll soon agree.
Libya, Egypt are all going radical Muslim. It's not an accident, it's Obama's handlers.
I don’t have to keep watching, I agree now.

My sister is a school bus contractor. New regulations have raised the price and the new equipment Regen system is screwed up half the time.When the EPA’s cleanup devices don’t work it’s another trip to the shop.The damned thing wont even run if the Regen system isn’t working.. 3 times to the shop this year with tow charges of over $750 dollars.
The bus hasnt got 50,000 mile on it yet.
