Barack Obama Promised A New Kind Of Politics, But Played The Same Old Game

Monday, September 3, 2012


Listen, as long as I've got you here, perhaps you can answer this -- No other Obama fan can:

If Republican­s are such scvm (and I believe they are) and "so dangerous"­, why isn't Obama investigating and prosecutin­g them?
