Losing the wrestling primary: Hulk Hogan tells Fox News he recants former support for Obama

Fake wrestling champion Hulk Hogan supported President Obama in 2008, but alas, the honeymoon is over, Hogan said Thursday during a Fox News appearance.

"I was a big Obama supporter and kinda, like, believed everything he said he was gonna do," Hogan said on Fox and Friends. "But now that nothing's happened..."

Hogan said he was still sore about the president using his theme song, "I Am a Real American" when Obama addressed the 2011 White House Correspondents' Dinner shortly after he released his long form birth certificate earlier this year.

"I kinda was a little upset that he didn't ask me permission to use my music," Hogan added. "But the change of heart is that I think I should be president. I know nothing about politics. I think a flat tax across the board would straighten everything out."

3. We need to educate people

Flat taxes are not fair taxes. The wealthy LOVE flat taxes. We need a way of messaging this. The flat tax crap has been out there too long and it has been unchallenged too long. It's time to pur our boot in the ass of this stupid message.

5. Could be worse - you could be Ric Flair:

Another Republican asshat who's never met a person he couldn't welch on or a Sorority House he couldn't find a wife from.

7. You just have to laugh at the BS double standard, love the

celebrity when they are speaking the Faux propaganda, otherwise who cares what celebrities say or think, right? Even their celebrity spewers are not really celebrity, lol. Best they can do, I guess Ted Nugent was busy.

10. Well...he may be a 'fake' wrestler...

...but he is saying (OK...not his flat tax ideas) many things that posters here are saying.

I, too, am very disappointed in the performance of President Obama (now leading us into war in Uganda).
