Yup, Obama has assumed full responsibility here.

Watch him squirm as he can’t furnish anything workable.

Unicorn dander can’t make this problem go away.

King Barry doesn’t care. America’s been pushed overboard and it’s damn near impossible to turn back.

I am pretty sure Bill Fullner, a lifelong (liberal) Democrat will feel right at home in today’s Republican party. I sure don’t though.

This is why we need to out reach and explain that even some Republicans are sleeping in bed with Democrats. Many of those who are now jumping over to our side do not understand why there is infighting with the party. Hopefully they will see that both party are not much difference but to support individuals like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee who are on our side. Remember one of the plank of the communist manifesto is to infiltrate one or both parties. Well looks like they have now and our side to expose those Rhinos out.
