Barack Obama will be known as the worst president America ever had, plus he was born in Kenya, so he cheated his way to the presidency.

notipping, please post a link to your birth certificate. If you’re not an American, why should we care what you think about Obama? Also, we’d like to hear all the evidence you have for saying that Obama is the worst President ever. Please post a complete list of every major decision that Obama has ever made, with a remark after each one explaining why that decision was or wasn’t a good decision. Then do the same for every single other U.S. president. If you’re going to say that he’s the worst President ever, you’re going to have to show your evidence for all the rest of the Presidents too.

I’ve seen the wire, people like Obama don’t have the intelligence to run the country. Plus he was to turn America into a socialist heartland where everyone will be indoctrinated into the Muslim regimes that are taking over the world

Well he sucks at that too because more than four years into his reign, I’m still going to church today.

Tell us everything you know about socialism and Islam. Show us that socialism leads to Islam or that Islam leads to socialism. Tell us about the ways in which those two things are alike. Show us how they differ from capitalism and Christianity (or whatever you are contrasting socialism and Islam to).

\> . . . I’ve seen the wire . . .

You got a wire informing you about this? That’s amazing. Very few telegrams are sent anymore. Or do you mean the TV program _The Wire_? There was information on that program about Obama? Again, that’s amazing, since the program ended months before he was elected. Tell us what they said on that program about socialism and Islam and how they’re related.

No, I see where he’s coming from now. He’s thinking of a president more like Avon Barksdale or Stringer Bell or even up-and-coming Marlo Stanfield. Good call.

And you do? Could you tell us your I.Q., your grade point average in high school and/or college, what degrees you have, your SAT or ACT scores, or anything else that would convince us of your intelligence? Since you’re contrasting yourself to Obama, tell us some things about yourself that are better evidence of your intelligence than the bachelor’s degree from Columbia and the law degree from Harvard that Obama has.

Hey, man, how you doing? I had a really great time visiting you and your lovely family last week, and I’ve been telling the folks here all about my visit. I liked catching up with you about old times and even the stuff about politics and religion had its up side, mainly my being able to describe how strange it felt avoiding these topics because of the extremity of our positions on them. But I appreciate your generous hospitality, and the terrific job you and your family did in looking after my every need. My best ever,
