Cruz better never go to Canada.

Talk about blaming the victim.

Or Hakeem Olajuwon.

Obama should go to Mecca then Tehran then Lenin’s mausoleum.

“Obama announced Monday morning that he plans to travel to Kenya in July to attend the 2015 Global Entrepreneurship Summit.”

Of course, Sununu knows better: Obama hears the call of the tribal drums, and is ready to put on his loin cloth and swing from trees.

Fixed for accuracy.

Bullshit John.
So it was OK for Reagan to visit Ireland but it’s not OK for Obama to visit Kenya?
Racist much there, John?

As though that gaggle of Rightie loons has to be “incited” to continue their laughable rants about “birth certificates”…rotflmao

Hey Sunununununu’…Found your ‘Birther Certificate’ and I accept it!

jaligard · March 30, 2015, 5:44pm

Doesn’t Obama incite Birthers by continuing to be president and do presidential things? That seems to be their biggest gripe.

sherlock1 · March 30, 2015, 5:45pm

As long as he remains President… and African American, they will be incited.

randyabraham · March 30, 2015, 5:46pm

The fact that he lives and breathes is grounds for incitement.

This comment by John Sununu is what real racism looks like. He knows exactly what he said as well. Deliberate racism
What a vile fuck that guy is.

From Wikipedia:
“As White House Chief of Staff, Sununu reportedly took personal trips, for skiing and other purposes, and classified them as official, for purposes such as conservation or promoting the Thousand Points of Light.[15] The Washington Post wrote that Sununu’s jets “took him to fat-cat Republican fund-raisers, ski lodges, golf resorts and even his dentist in Boston.”[15] Sununu had paid the government only $892 for his more than $615,000 worth of military jet travel.[16] Sununu said that his use of the jets was necessary because he had to be near a telephone at all times for reasons of national security.[17] Sununu became the subject of much late-night television humor over the incident.[15] Sununu worsened the situation shortly afterwards when, after leaking rumors of financial difficulties in his family, he traveled to a rare stamp auction at Christie’s auction house in New York City from Washington in a government limousine, spending $5,000 on rare stamps.[18] Sununu then sent the car and driver back to Washington unoccupied while he returned on a corporate jet.[18] In the course of one week, 45 newspapers ran editorials on Sununu, nearly all of them critical of his actions.[19] Sununu resigned his White House post on December 4, 1991.”

I’m pretty sure they never take it down now.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

I’m so tired of these conservative bed-wetters (no offense to real bed-wetters).

I’m sure Oily Taint’ is on it! …Really!?
