He wants the original negatives used to forge Obama's birth certificate, obviously.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's Play@Spooky Mask: Not necessarily. The Republicans' stated #1 goal for the past 4 years has been to make Obama a one-term President. That goal has failed, and since no one can be elected President more than twice, they don't have to worry about making Obama look bad for the next Presidential elections. While there will certainly remain strong Republican opposition towards Obama, hopefully they'll no longer oppose everything he suggests simply for the sake of opposing it.
So to recap:
Everything is exactly the same as a year ago except maybe the republicans wont be so obstructionist.
Good night everyone.
Is using "Julian Assange is a Hillary butt plug" an acceptable signature quote?Here is what Ghost though, if anyone is interested.
I'm kind of eager to see what he has to say now.
So, SO happy to have voted absentee in my home state (Maryland) and so damn proud of this country tonight. Second term for President Obama, gay marriage in MD, Maine, and Washington, Liz Warren in Massachussetts, Akin and that other idiot are out, Alan West lost, a shitload of firsts in congress, and marijuana legalized for recreational use in two states and medical use in a third.
If any of you guys come down to my neck of the woods for the inauguration, let me know. I'd love to organize a troper meet up in DC.
Joe Biden hints at future run, says this won’t be the last time he votes for himself
Biden 2016?
Everything is Possible. But some things are more Probable than others. JEBAGEDDON 2016

Trump's twitter: "It is really a shame that Barack Obama may stop $5M from being generously donated to charity all because he refuses to be transparent."
If it's so "generous" you'd just donate it. How the hell does Obama not giving you his frickin' private documents stop you from donating to charity? It doesn't, Trump. It doesn't.
He's making me so angry...
What's up with all of this anyway? Why does he need Obama's information? And what information is he actually wanting?
