Barry...just shut the hell up. You were so self-righout when accusing Bush in 2007 of far less than what you are dong now.

Apparently the Tsarneavs were not Verizon customers.

Apparently the Tsarneavs were not Verizon customers.

No, THEY WERE OBAMA SUPPORTERS!

Oversight by whom ? The IRS ?

The problem is that Obama doesn’t see the real threats to this country as big a problem as his political opposition is.
