Go to Amazon.com and type in Who Am I? The Story of Barack Obama by Phyllis Andrews. This is a children's book written for grades 3-4.

Maybe Obama can go out and shoot and rape some Chinese when he is there. Its the national sport in Indonesia.

[Chickenhaed666]

Hey I like terrorists like Obama Bin Laden too! Glad to hear he has socialist impersonators.

But who will impersonate his gargoyle looking wife? You'd have to find one ugly character!
