THE PRESIDENCY

SOME WILL APPRECIATE THIS AND SOME WILL NOT.

HOWEVER, ALL OF IT IS TRUE.

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and  impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry.

He's done all this in 29 months -- so you'll have one year and five months (actually now only 1 year) to come up with an answer.

Every statement here is factual and directly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama (aka: Barrack Insane Osama).

Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable.
