‘Exponential Damage’

“You’ve got an obligation to your children and grandchildren to make sure Barack Obama goes back to Chicago … because we can’t stand four more years of this. Eight years of Obama is not twice as bad as four. There is an exponential damage that is done to our country if he gets four more […]

Dishonorable Disclosures: “The Politicians Just Don’t Get It”
