It is usually a dead giveaway when they use the name of a notable politician as their handle. He’s been propping up straw men politicals like that for quite awhile now. I’ve never seen this fucker post anything that made any sense. It’s strange because the former President was acclaimed for his extraordinary intellect and depth of knowledge, whereas this sounds more like a driveling troll. I hate to be negative here, but I’m beginning to suspect that this may not really be Barack Obama. ---

"I want to build a house out of bread only waterproof not like real bread and not thin slices like bread but more like cuboid chunks made of some durable material that is still bread, but also nothing like bread. Do they make houses like this? If not why not? If there was a house made out of bread, would it be any good? Please don’t tell me it wouldn’t work, because I think it would, but if it would work, how would it work? Also, would such a house run on batteries, be impervious to attack by an M1 Abrams and simultaneously small and light enough to be portable, and also weigh more than 100 tons and be fixed in place? Also, what sorts of things can you recommend that are not houses, or made of bread?" ---

I am in no way this kind of person, I love and accept people of all walks of life and have done so for my entire life. I am not the person that the media portrays me to be in real life, I was trolling and posting things to get a reaction from the subs on reddit and never meant any of the hateful things I said in those posts. I would never support any kind of violence or actions against others simply for what they believe in, their religion, or the lifestyle they choose to have.
