when they were both in the Senate. Of course, you knew that but it was more fun to pretend to be stupid.

But of course it's easier to defend any bullshit that she says and say she was misinterpreted.

I said you were pretending to be stupid. It is clear what she meant. BTW here is what she was talking about according to Obama himself, unless he is a big fat liar too. https://my.barackobama.com/page/-/iowa/Fact%20Sheet%20Lead%20Toys%20FINAL.pdf

No he doesn't mention Clinton there, he was running against her after all, but the fact is there was a whole lot of anti lead activity going on.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't see a threat.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Hide Denied. Your ability to alert should be permanently revoked. Are you serious with this petty alert?
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: OMG, step away from the computer, folks. Downton Abby series finale!
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I see no threat of violence. Originally I found it to be personally antagonistic but I can't agree with the person who sent the alert that it's a threat.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

I was juror 1.

As a community organizer. It's how the state party noticed him. That a Chicago born FLOTUS would be involved isn't surprising, at least to me.

He doesn't mention involvement by Clinton for obvious reasons but there was more than a little anti lead activity in the US Senate.
