Nobody can possibly spout nonsense like the Wee Wee without being a compulsive liar ... a hopeless narcissist ... an absolute idiot ... and completely toked up on some great weed!

Erasing the past is what Obama is all about. Only think what he puts in your brain each day. Something new, something better according to him. It leads to death is all I have to say.

He can only say this because the sychophant media and academia have ignored his abject failures.

A silly putty ruler.
Problem is, that a lot of other people have also been using silly putty rulers, and so give Barack a big pass.
