     #81 “When your the near abused Barack Hussein Obama the child they are collard greens…”

     I’m not sure exactly what this means (not having my Gibberish-English dictionary handy) but I’m guessing the implication is a less “fancy,” well-schooled Obama would eat collard greens instead of arugula? (Although, I’m not sure that collard greens are a Kenyan or a Kansan staple that would’ve been handed down.) Yet, as has been pointed out again and again, arugula is not a delicacy. If you haven’t tried it, do, but let’s not pretend he tsk, tsked the price of beluga caviar.

     Cafe Press refusing to carry the SNOBama gear has absolutely NOTHING to do with being PC.

     QUAKERTOWN, Pa. — Older voters gravitate to Hillary Clinton because they’re too wise to be fooled by Barack Obama’s rhetoric, former president Bill Clinton told Pennsylvania voters today.

     I thought it was because older voters were frightened when they saw D’oh-bama walking toward them on the same side of the street.

     Whatever. If Billy said it, I believe it.

     New troll tactic? I can’t make a reasoned argument, so I’ll just point out technical errors in the presentation.

     By the way, your user name is considered a proper noun and should therefore be capitalized. I’m sorry, but I’ll have to dismiss everything you say until you correct this grievous error.
