The asshat is ineligible to be President.

That ship sailed long ago
Will wait till she throws her Willy Brown Kneepads in.
Hmmm....
Doesn’t matter to the Dems (see: Obama, Barack H.) & the Repubs are too weak.cowardly to contest it.
A female Obama, with all the charm of a bitter ex-wife.
That’s her, exactly! Arrogant and unlikable shrew.
She probably has the Ho vote tied up.
Is this the lady who let a 80 year old man bang her so she could get a senate seat ?
I can’t believe posters on Free Republic are taking her seriously. SHE IS A JOKE.
Think 44. x2
Just like the dems like ‘em.
Oh well, the law didn't matter in 2008 and in 2012.
