Yeah, what a peach, but his job is only to make Obama look good by comparison.
Crybaby and wimp!
I thought the answer was “hairplugs”.
There are no "legitimate settings."
Hussein is the master at this.
When was the last time that Hussein had a question and answer session without an audience hand picked beforehand?
