Wow, no comments!!!
OMG, they are more despicable than I thought.
And where are all these "Ladies" and "Gentlemen?"
This guy is great. Bring him back.
And yes, Obama is more than "timid" - he's incompetent. Nobody is there (White House) when the world needs a leader (not a cheap "international"/New Age/Hollywood/Oprah poser with his "Let's hug each other" nonsense)
Send him to Syria to hug the guys Anderson mention. Tell him to leave security guys at home.
