Obama wore a tan suit once and the Fox News goons had aneurysms for a solid week

You guys remember "terrorist fist jab"? That one was the one that pissed me off the most.

Remember that time Bush got us into two wars because of 9/11, but it wasn’t until Obama that the guy who caused it was killed. I member. Turns out the Republicans didn’t care about justice, they just cared about using the crisis to make some oil money for their VP and President.

The part that bothered me was that the first thing Obama did was put the war money in the budget (as opposed to special appropriations) and everyone suddenly cared what the war cost.

Are you sure that is just not republicans and the right wing news being themselves. I swear the only times I hear about budget from them is if a democrat president is in charge.

It's called the Two Santas Strategy and it's by design.

Are you sure you spelled that correctly, shouldn't it really be called the "Two Satans Strategy" because it's nothing but self-serving evil that affects not just America, but the world.

I imagine him sitting in a recliner, mouth agape as he watches the ever-changing news of Trump over a 24 hour period and occasionally muttering to himself, "it was just an 'e' not this!"

Sorry, watched the Rockies lose in 11 innings, in the freezing cold. My brain is a popsicle still.
