How dare you to treat lazy ass liberals like that
ReplyDeleteOh that has got to be racist. Obama said he was going to give money to the lazy and put gas in their cars. Obama is redistributing the wealth. You need to get a second job so more lazy people don't have to work. That's what Obama said so that is why they voted for that dead beat Kenyan.
