Obama is a pussy on the World stage. He is entirely responsible for the ‘Arab Spring” while simultaneously turning his back on the much more important ‘Green Revolution”.

Our economy has seen no real growth in over eight years. We have a government and Federal Reserve that have propped up the market through cheep money, massive government spending and smoke and mirrors. Or do you believe that Unemployment is at 5%?

We are seeing some amazing things these days. ;-)
