"If you sign up for money, you have to be trained by a business," he said.

I think it is childish to make a claim like this as for bribery. How about the 40 and 50 thousand dollar plates the DemonicRATs get? Sandwiches was good Samaritan. They would have given Obama one, had he had guts enough to show up. more ›
