It seems that Jason Whitlock was interviewed by Roland Martin and made the following quote: I believe the NRA is the new KKK.

After four years of painful “contractions”, the American voter has given birth to a lazy bum. That is the face of America now.

Since Obama does not have to worry about re-election ever again, the real Obama is going to show up and state what he is really thinking.

HE FIRED 22 | Read More »
And by rich, I mean making more than $250,000 a year; I would sit up and take note of what happened last night. The American electorate, albeit slightly, is blaming you for what ails them.

Today, in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, Michael Bloomberg publicly “endorsed” Obama in his reelection campaign for President. His rationale – Climate Change.

The second part of Obama’s plan – which I am still trying to figure out why he didn’t release until two weeks before the election – is focused on achieving energy independence. His overall goal is to pursue an “all of the above” energy strategy. (Hasn’t he been saying this during his first term – before he started campaigning for re-election?)
