Who he's not is Thomas Jefferson. And a man like Thomas Jefferson is who we need in the presidency.

He's once... twice... three times a lady.

He is the way, the truth, and the life.

He's your worst nightmare.

He is the walrus.

He is not an animal.

He... is.. KIROK!

He is, I said, to no one there.

Back off, man. He's a scientist.

Regan's not an old simpleton with Alzheimers. Reagan's a farking corpse.

And one that should be dug up every few years and moved to a new grave, just so he can't get comfortable, I might add.

And Obama is also:

The dingleberry to your blowout

And the Saint to your sinner

And the wing to your prayer

And the virgin to your whore

And the savior and condemnation of all mankind

And the pepsi to your coke

And the beef to your potatoes

And the wine to your cheese

And the buttplug to your reacharound

And the circlejerk to your autoerotic asphyxiation

And the Mulder to your Scully

And the Prius to your RX8

And the semen to your glazed donut,

Obama is a GOD to your SATAN!

REPENT

GOBAMA08!

I wouldn't say that a majority of his supporters are cultists, but some of them are farking creepy in the way they talk about him....like he's the second farking coming.

Nice, applaud someone attempting to make a Obama/cult joke and in your next breath bring up Saint Ronnie, whose followers want to name at least one landmark in every state and every county after him. (^)

So get back to us when breathless Obama followers want to name every side street and post office in South Dogpatch, Alabama after him, alright?

Here's the difference, whether you agree with his views or not, he at least served as Governor of California and 2 terms as President.

Obama is an unknown....a freshman Senator. So yes, it's a little puzzling when people talk about how great he is.

Most people are talking about how great he potentially could be. But don't let that derail your delusion.

Throw in the people who think he's done a great job thus far, and you've got...well...a cult, apparently.

Potential? So people are feeling warm and fuzzy over a gamble of sorts?

Yeah...a potential for a major tax hike and more wasteful government programs.

Government doesn't have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem.
