Noone would do a wire transfer because it was illegal, due to the sanctions.

I don’t think it’s a case of 0bama being a poor liar, because after all, he’s had lots of practice. It’s a case of him not caring enough to tell a good one because when he gets caught, so what?

The American electorate had to have their Negro Community organizer and they got him. The problem being he governs as a Negro Community organizer. We have now endured Reconstruction II for the last eight years.
