  • I'm a dirty liberal - I admit it but I'd like to say that I'm disapointed Obama has decided to cling to religion for votes... Last I heard he was an atheist. He's done a lot during his presidency, at the cost of the poor. However his 'faith' is what upsets me most.

  • @C4P1T4L15M yeah I watched it.. but it doesn't matter. This is America. we all respect and acknowledge everyone's religion. if you're too right winged and racist to understand that, I can't say anything to you.

  • It's crooked...

  • Christian HAters GTFO

  • @C4P1T4L15M /watch?v=mghhLqu31cQ

  • @C4P1T4L15M Hey Mr. "ADULT" stop whining for no reason...

    Christmas was and is a christian festival (doesn't mean that others cant celebrate it, but it is a christian thing) So what Obama did was just tell everyone about the history of Christmas from the christian point of view... also its not just u guys who have the freedom of speech, the government and politicians have it too... so chill down man and enjoy Christmas, than just creating problems out of nothing... so early Happy "CHRISTMAS" :D

  • Put the persons name that you love in a circle not a heart, because a heart breaks and a circle goes on forever!!!

  • @cazyblood3 Whatever begins, also ends.

  • @vemon95 Agreed.

  • @lowgeemudbone OH I meant 8.6%. Don't forget the progress we've made in budget reform and crashing the euro. Don't forget the quick progress we've made in building the global missle defense shield as well. American car manufacturers are profitable again as well. CHANGE.
