have you ever visited the WHITE HOUSE, where Clinton and other terrorists hang out? What about Guantanamo? To be fair, let's not forget that Obama had a tough job being a good president after Bush messed all up. America needs more people like Keith Ellison or Jesse Ventura! Time for America to realize who the real enemy is
