I learned something this morning

The speculators bidding the prices of commodities making prices for many things higher. I learned from someone that this is all Obama's doing. The speculaters are all in cahoots with Obama. Aparently Obama gives the command and they bid up oil and wholesale gasoline so the price of gas gets much higher, after all this is what Obama wants.

I have to think he must have gotten this idea from Jabba the Rush or Sean insHannity. I can't think he thought this up on his own.

This take me to 2500. Woo Hoo!!!

This is 2012. You can access all sorts of things on the internet. Why won't people break their filter bubbles?

Obama had superpowers.

And if he doesn't materialize that new Beamer for me, I'm not voting for him. Not like I'm asking for a Bugatti, after all.


(Oh damn. I forgot--I already went & voted for him.)

makes it seem that the poster is vouching for this.

Note I heard this and had to keep from laughing. Where do these people get these things?

brush, take a deep breath before you "Ox-Bow Incident" me. I am a diciple of Will Rogers. We do this shit all the time. If this isn't sufficient either report me or put me on ignore. I'm a big boy but I just don't have the time for this.
