You’re Welcome, Alamo-Girl!
The ding-a-ling's CYA'ing bigtime.....only AFTER he forced on Americans thousands of contaminated border jumpers who are now in our schools, marketplaces, communities.
The vote-crazed WH criminal combine is going ballistic reading midterm polls strongly favoring Republicans. They are feverishly working to save Obama's ***.
Sub rosa deals were made w/ corrupt Third Worlds in exchange for votes---villages being emptied over the Mexican border......adults/children/families, rubber stamped into the country by Obomba henchmen.....after the diseased individuals register to vote Democrat.
It has been verified that the border-jumpers, emanating from 144 antediluvian countries, are carriers of TB, Ebola,Chikungunya, Dengue fever, Norovirus. Hantavirus, Swine flu, Varicella. Variola, E- coli.......and childhood diseases America stamped out years ago.
No mention of medical histories....
the status of contaminated border-holding facilities.....
the contaminated public transportation used to relocate them.......
the jobs they hold handling our food, merchandise....
taxpayers forced to subsidize contagious illegals in their classrooms....
================================================
HEALTH ALERT: Deadly E-coli---passed by poor bathroom habits--- has been found on the handles of supermarket carts.
Earnest may have to be banned from FreeRepublic for improper use of the sarcasm tag...
reminds me of the old joke as useless as a screen door on a submarine
The obummer admin should be required to use a FANTASY tag for some of their stuff, particularly the job reports.
