It's OK to ask if Barack Obama is a Muslim?



It's OK to ask whether or not he was born in this country?

It's OK to ask if Obama is a socialist?

But, it's not OK to ask what Mitt Romney would have done if he were the Commander in Chief and his Secretary of Defense, Bob Gates, recommended he not go after Bin Laden with the US Seals?

These people make me physically sick...

More or less. He said the Democrats are playing politics with the capture of Osama Bin Laden. Of course, what should we expect him to say? He is the campaign manager for Mitt Romney.

But now Obama listened to Rmoney over the GM matter too. They are going all out. What's next? Photo shopping Rmoney's picture in the war room over Obama. LOL! Wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Given Rmoney's passage of Rmoney care in MA, I think it's fair to ask if he's a socialist.

And, just for fun, why not ask him if he's Jewish. Let's see how he responds.

You get the idea.

Barack is BLACK, RUN, and a weak on defense democrat... giving the execute order causes all kinds of dissonance for the white member of the GOP.

And I wish this was just comedy.

Because anyone who asks this should not be allowed in public without taking their medications.

No insult intended to people who are suffering from actual mental illness.

When they went after the Bin Laden,
Obama had 2 sets of groups waiting, 1 a group of lawyers in case
they took bin laden alive, and medical staff, in case they took bin laden
alive and he needed medical attention.

but it's not okay to tell the truth about the GOP Rominee's wife having it easy compared to millions of women nationwide.
