i made this up this morning, and did it as a joke and just for laughs. most of my posts are done for shock value or laughs. life is too short to not enjoy. our president has the toughest job in the world, and i for one wouldn't want it. BUT, you have to understand where America stands right now. we are paying for people coming from mexico, we have lost thousands of life's in a war we should not of been in, but after 9/11 i would of done the same thing. we had a journalist beheaded and he made a remark about it and 8 minutes he was golfing like nothing happened. we have a porous border that anyone can sneak in with a dirty bomb and cause havoc in our country. we have people that say what we as a government are doing or going to do so this isis knows just what to do to protect them selves, he spoke the other day about the problems and he started off by mentioning how the economy is doing. i really think that he wants another country to go in and bomb isis so he can stick to his belief that the war over there is over.

this is just my opinion but i had to say it,
