I don't believe President Obama runs with THAT crowd,
but I DO believe that those pigs have an immense amount of power over what CAN and Can't be done from the White House.
Though I DO wish our President would Call Them Out like FDR did
instead of trying to find Middle Ground for Compromise.
If he DID that,
an ARMY, including myself, would have his back,
and HISTORY would record him as a GREAT President.
