Oh yea. I forgot. He makes the Iranian president look like a moderate. Lol.
Excuse me? I only drive American. And I drive Buick. I am neither a liberal or a conservative extremist such as you. And I am not surprised that you drive a Toyota. Must make Mitt very happy.
Well if you only drive "American" my slanty eyed Toyota is more American made than that crappy Buick that was made in Mexico.

A jury of my peers, I was promised: how about an ille-
gal
immigrant on a death-penalty phase? Has the country gone mad? Oh, I see: it's PC.
No, that's just how braindead and unedecated liberals are. Even worse, your president and vice president think it is an illegals "right" to become a citizen.
ohhh boy here we go.
Lol @ s kel. More like here we go again and again and again.

Obamacare has nothing to do with s kel's question in conjunction with news stories. Good grief.
And not me again. Refrain from using my name to incite someone's ire.
