Best thing they could do is just leave her chained to the damn rock. Make the story about her inner monologue as she anticipates the ravishings to come. And then they don’t. 😃 ---

“The False Prophet of Revelations” I thought this was one of Obama’s official titles. You know like: Muslim, atheist, anti-Christ, Satan, fascist, Nazi, socialist, communist, LIBERAL, nuker of Charleston, uncircumcised Philistine, dictator, weak-kneed - but still ruling by fiat, genius plotter of various conspiracies, and a few others I’ve forgotten.😃 Now your telling me it’s the Pope? Anyway, still Obama’s fault. ---

JEB! gives us a [two-fer](http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/25/politics/jeb-bush-free-stuff-black-voters/index.html). We are going back to the “Dems give blacks free stuff!” well. Not only is he insulting Black Americans and their integrity, he is using the exact same argument that helped sink Romney in 2012. ---
