35. He is not incompetent

Tue Sep 10, 2013, 05:39 PM

Sep 2013

You just expect him to be incompetent because he is black.
And if Putin pulled anybody's ass out of the fire, it was his buddy Assad who was about to have his reign destabilized.
Putin does not even particularly like President Obama, he probably dislikes him as much as you do.
You are just pissed off that President Obama played this masterfully. You cannot STAND to see him succeed!!!!!!!!
It's about dinner time now.
GO ENJOY YOUR CROW, LOSER/HATER!!
