Autopsy? Heart attack? Drug use?

Yeah, even the world's dumbest man, Joe Biden, would be an improvement over the Kenyan.

Maybe he called a para-legal instead of a para-medic.

If there's a less-than-innocent explanation for the death (e.g.,drugs) you just know that Osama will use his Chicago connections to somehow suppress the findings.

He accidentally came across a nude picture of Michelle on Obama's old smartphone.

There has been a trail of corpses with the missing
and altered “birth certificates”.

Perhaps he knew too much.

Didn’t Obama have trouble with dead gay lovers in Chicago? Maybe Obama is the Black Widower.

Safe gay sex: don’t have a fling with Obama.

Given Obama’s beatification at the hands of the press, one must profess a certain surprise that The One didn’t simply wave his hand and return the poor unfortunate to life.

I'll second the classy statement. There is a time and place to be tacky and this is a time not to be.

That was the first thing that came across my desk....was he involved in the fraud? Did he know too much? Was a heart attack induced by something....

Look into the death of Mayor Washington of Chicago....”The reason 0 chose to live in Chicago”

Just like AB he’d been out to dinner. Just like AB people thought he had been poisoned. Just like AB....well are you seeing a pattern here? Does the young man fit?

stand back...get away from the AL foil....DOn’t ask question!

Definitely freedom of choice.

He undoubtedly decided it was safer to die in the office than out on the south side streets over this coming weekend.
