Why ruin a perfectly good argument? If you are dedicated to free speech, why muddy it with partisan hackery? Obama hasn't been President for years, he's been President for 9 months.

Under what US Law brings any US citizen under the laws or monetary judgement of another nation? So what if they sued in England and were awarded monetary damages, I am not clear on how I as a US Citizen would be forced to pay those damages awarded by a foreign court or jury.

Your sarcasim indicates that you don't feel Obama has anything to do with the present cases, or the furture direction of our country. This would indiacte to me that your attention span did not allow you to get to the 5th paragraph where President Obama's agenda is more fully disclosed.

The same was true about Bush2, Clinton, Bush1, probably back to Kennedy…

It's time to tell this arrogant child that we are in charge, and he's not. His power flows from us and we are taking it back.
