So, tell me
again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't
think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 41 months -- so you'll
have about 7 months to come up with an answer. Every statement in this email is
factual and directly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama. Every bumble is a
matter of record and completely verifiable.
