Our assclown president Obama is fixing to apoint this rotten clam to Secretary of State. This proves that anyone who supports Obama hates America.

And this proves what? You are truly a confused idiot. Start by learning to spell, and then turn off Fox and pick up a book.

[Yowzoe]

You're absolutely correct.

But this comment page shows the power of the right wing to rally the trailer trash.

She's an "academic".....The interviewer know much more than her. How's that old Obama "let's get friendly with Iran" plan working out for us??? Dumb bitch and her idol, Barrack Obama, is even worse. She's wrong, looking back, on almost everything she says in this interview.

[weirdshibainu]

Breaking with conventional Washington...yeah, he's the worse Washington insider ever.
