[From MSNBC:](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37208439/ns/politics-white_house/?GT1=43001) > [@Rev. Wright](#): > > “I am ‘radioactive,’ Sir. When Obama threw me under the bus, he threw me under the bus literally!” he wrote. “Any advice that I offer is going to be taken as something to be avoided. Please understand that!” OK, maybe if the bus wasn’t moving, it wasn’t attempted murder. But assault, at least! Or maybe it is Rev. Wright that is guilty of the attempted murder of the English language, for using the word ‘literally’ to mean ‘not literally,’ but he’s just one of many members of that particular criminal conspiracy. ---

I literally think that this criticism of the word “literally” has been already done in other threads, literally to death. ---

Never happened. If it were true, Obama would be showing signs of radiation sickness. ---

The throw was literal. The bus, however, remains metaphorical. ---

When I saw the thread title I was thinking (or maybe I should say hoping) that someone was accusing Obama of killing Vince Foster.

I’m not going to go looking for links because I don’t have time to take another shower, but many crazines were, and some probably still are, sure that President Obama killed his grandmother right before the election to 1) make sure she didn’t “spill the truth about his Kenyan birth” and 2) to get sympathy to win the election since ‘Sarah was such a threat.’ I am not making this up. ---

So, Wright is still bitter how Obama, after making a compelling case for why he couldn’t abandon the Reverend for his views, later does dump him when Wright insists on trying to fuck up Obama’s chances in the election out of spirit of _pique_ (French for “being a dick”)? ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > If he’s Superman he’s vulnerable to kryptonite radiation. Yeah but we all know kryptonite doesn’t exist. Therefore SuperObama, or should I say SuperHUSSEIN, is completely invulnerable to any Earth-based harm and will never ever be stopped in his diabolical plan to turn the United States into some kind of Socialist Muslim country. ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > When I saw the thread title I was thinking (or maybe I should say hoping) that someone was accusing Obama of killing Vince Foster. Naw, Obama’s just a piker, compared to the Evil Clinton Duo. Obama’s only been able to work up to attempt murder, but they actually did the deed, and in their first year in office at that! At this rate, Obama’s clearly just a one-term wonder. ---

That’s true. Killing your the grandmother who raised you is more heartless than killing someone who has conspiracy dirt on you, but it’s less ruthless. I don’t know if it’s more evil. And if he’s less evil than the Clintons, that’s really disappointing.

The crazines would beg to differ. They think he’s ruthless _and_ heartless. Not that they cared about his grandmother anyway. She was in on the conspiracy to enable a little black boy born in Kenya to rise to the Presidency of the United States of America. That’s why she put that birth notice in the paper, to fool future historians. > [@Marley23](#): > > I hear the Deepwater Horizon was exploring a potential kryptonite deposit. That’s why Obama had it blown up. Oh god, you just know that’s gotta show up somewhere. Maybe not for kryptonite, because maybe they’re not THAT crazy, though you never know, but for _some_ reason. ---

Did Obama try to throw him under the FRONT tires of the bus or the BACK tires of the bus? Cause, if it was the back tires, Obama is also a self hating racist and traitor to his race as well. ---
