Bttt!
“I don’t see congress dragging Obama, kicking and screaming, out of the white house.
They will share the responsibility in my book.”
I am glad to see that I’m not the only one out here screaming, “WHY WON’T CONGRESS STOP HIM???!!!???”
I’ve been shaking my head so hard that I have a headache.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
