Wow, looks like the economy is really going to pick up in 2014. Otherwise, why bring so many workers in. I’m glad our government is looking out for us.

Our last Presidential Slate consisted of a former supporter of Baby murder, the originator of Obamacare, an abuser of Vets, and a supporter of Amnesty.
