Oooh tough talk! I’m guessing B. Hussein has his feeling hurt by this.

Geeez, I wish we had some conservatives with cajones in DC who would a tough mind with tough words to lead and inspire us.

Instead... We got Boehner.

(sigh)

I guess calling it an “empty piñata” would be racist. Oh, wait... now that Hispanics are white, it might be okay!

There may not have been any candy in it but you can bet that Barry’s “historical speech” caused Chrissy Matthews’ tingle meter to light up.

There’s little difference between Boner and Obama. Both are hollow shells.
