Unfortunately I doubt this news even if reported last week would have made any difference on the election..unless that drone was carrying food stamps and birth control pills people wouldn’t care

When will Valerie Jarrett's puppet, Barry Hussein Soetoro, surrender to the Iranians? The USS MISSOURI is available and it is in Hawaii. What a way to get a vacation and advance the Caliphate! Genius.

Per CNN: "The drone's still and video cameras captured the incident showing two SU-25s approaching the Predator and firing its onboard guns."

There's video.

The presence of a Russian sub off of our coast is symptomatic of OB’s new “flexibility” toward Russia. Perhaps he will cede land to them for a military base in Alaska.

Now if we can just get Iran to bomb Planned Parenthood, then retibution would be swift and terrible.

So, another “November surprise” was suppressed by the regime..

But, you know what, I hope all those that felt it was too inconvenient to sully their hands by voting for Romney look back on these and the events sure to come over the next few years and say to themselves.. “Boy am I glad I decided that it was better we have four more years of Obama than someone who loved the country and wanted to defend it..”
