16. I try very, very hard.............
NOT to think of his smirking, stupid face. It makes me hurl.

I switch the channels as fast as I can when this asshole's mug is on TV. All I can think of is some mother somewhere who gave birth to a baby years ago and now that mother will see her baby come home in a body bag for nothing at all. It breaks my heart. All so that asswipe squatting in OUR White House and his evil cronies get richer.

As I said, it makes me want to vomit.

17. Hard to believe he's only been here 6 years. Where HAS the time gone?
Oh, my God.

You'd never have known anything serious is going on anywhere, by looking at that pathetic face. He has never taken his position seriously. Must be because he never had to work for it, right? It was handed to him.

21. Man, I don't know Binka.
That's got to drive you nuts. I think maybe we all need to go to Washington and camp out for a while. Hang in there, you made it this far.
