Well, that’s an achievement of sorts...

What a crock!! This was rigged. nIt must be a racist thing.
I DEMAND a recount.
Obama won this and I know it.
Give this award to it’s rightful owner or there will be war.... well, not real war.. anymore we just pretend to go to war.
Anyway... Obama won this... give it to him NOW.
I second your nomination!
Can you nominate dead people? Lol...

Wow, the Supreme Leader didn’t get 100% of the vote? That’s a staggering defeat for him, and puts those that voted against him in peril :) Where’s Conan O’Brien with the dictator satire and Michael Bolton buffoning when you need him??
meant to add you to my #11 post
