“Greatest President ever!”
Too soon to say for certain but it certainly looks possible and I used to be one of those who thought the idea of his running was absurd.
And here is 0bama’s list of major accomplishments in the first six months:
1. Raised taxes on a whole bunch of already overtaxed stuff.
2. Nearly toppled the constitutional government of Honduras. Nearly.
3. Stupidly created the “Beer Summit” proving that he is a racist.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Can someone post it, please? Preferably in a format suitable for cut and paste email forwarding? If so, TIA.
When a news story has a “source” it should be posted . . . rather than have to go to a blog to get to the source.
Standard practice for blogs.
It used to be called theft.
