365 – Days that Reggie Love blew Obama.
Hey All,
the number I am most worried about:
1-Dim witted, empty suit that sits in the Oval Office EVERY DAY (well when he’s not on vacation or traveling to other Countries), laughing his ass off that he actually won the election.
just a note to mr OBAMSTER,
how the hell do you like the message that the few people waving tea bags around in mass. sent you today? do you feel half as stupid as you look? do you feel rejected? do you mourn the waste of fuel it took to take air force one to mass ? caused all that global warming just to be slapped down like the fool you are?
you aint seen nothin yet,no you aint seen shit yet. you are too stupid to see what is right in front of your face,and that is apparent because if you could see, you would run when micHELLe walks into the room,i mean damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!
