You're treading on thin ice with all this negativity directed towards The Chosen One. Maybe you are a racist. Conservatives are racists and homophobes, by definition. And also filled with rage.

If you keep this up, when you get shipped off to that re-education camp, don't come crying to me, pal.
Got to run - get my bail-out application in the mail. I'm not a member of the UAW but I owned an Olds Cutlass once - does that count?
Jim Geharty over at The Campaign Spot on NRO says that all of Obama's promises have an expiration date. All of them.
