This line-up of future Presidents would make some heads explode. All over the place.
It makes me smile to see this bumper sticker. I just might have to make some of those (I can, you know

What is a more likely possibility to you. That the bumper sticker is a simplistic joke aimed at your average right winger who might see it on the roadway, or that it is a complex conspiracy aimed at overturning the democratic order of the country and replacing it with a hereditary monarchy from the Clinton and Obama families to include two adults who show little desire to run for political office and two children. I suggest you think that over.  |
