Hm… Kenyans are born large. Well-formed. Good head control. Oh, no. Oh, no no no no. Kenyans are Terminators and Obama is King Terminator and he can travel through time and if we re-elect him he’ll go on live television to go back and do 9/11 in front of all of us and Romney will try to use his money to stop him but it will fail because King Terminator doesn’t care about rich people he’s a SOCIALIST! Ahem. It has come to my attention that I might need sleep. Thank you giant green moth. ---

Ya know, the socialist of the future seem to have their act together with respect to time travel and making terminators. I’m thinking I’m going to vote for them. ---
