She Really Can See Russia From Her House!

I could not help but smile at these two headlines today: Sarah Palin: President Obama Needs to Be Spanked Gateway Pundit, by Jim Hoft Original Article Posted By:JoniTx, 11/3/2014 2:52:07 PM Former Governor Sarah Palin laid into Barack Obama for insulting stay-at-home moms this week. Obama told a crowd of clueless female supporters that being a stay-at-home mother is “not a choice we want Americans to make.” It wasn’t the first time Obama attacked stay-at-home moms.

Sure, Obama’s latest shot across the bow in his own “War on Women” is easily deflected by women like my friends and me testifying to Putin Spanks Obama in New Russian Propaganda Art Gallery Reason Magazine, by Zenon Evans Original Article Posted By:Pluperfect, 11/3/2014 2:02:33 PM Vladimir "Putin is a gift to caricaturists," said Barry Blitt, a New Yorker artist, when he designed a Sochi Olympic-themed cover earlier this year, featuring the Russian leader in frilly ice skating attire.

    Of course, there are many completely valid reasons to disapprove of Obama. The problem is that in these critical areas the Republicans offer exactly 0% chance of making positive change. While doing everything they can to change many of the positive policies.
