"I think that some of those that have been the most ungracious and discourteous five years from now will be embarrassed by their behavior. But right now, I guess the best we can do is be embarrassed for them."

Yours is one of the best posts I have seen on here. I am sitting here laughing at the way you ripped him apart. That was good!

Yes, there is certainly a pattern!

He should be embarrassed he didn't pay his taxes on time!

he owed $9,975 in back taxes

Or, maybe Texas should be ashamed of him!

He’s lying. Texas Liberals are ALWAYS embarassed by Texas. If they ever feel comfortable, I and about 85% of Texans would have to move. We could invade Bawney Fwankville and take the joint over in a day.

That's OK. Obama is embarassed to be in the office of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.

You are so welcome, Mom. I figure he needs to keep a lower profile since his faults are out in the open. Seems like O. surrounds himself with the kind of people who don’t learn from their mistakes.

I’m embarrassed to say he’s from Texas also.

Please don’t judge The Republic of Texas by this A’hole.
