Biden Reflects on Grief, Suicidal Thoughts 
Is Congress Sounding Dumber?
I used to support President Barack Hussein Obama, I really did, but with all due respect, whoa! Barack Hussein makes no sense! Bill Clinton says Rush Limbaugh is inciting violence, but when Rush Limbaugh says Bill Clinton is inciting violence, Bill Clinton says “That makes no sense”? Barack, he said the same thing, the exact – same – thing! Same thing, no change. Remember Barack Hussein promising “change” on the campaign trail? So much for “change.” No change. So when Bill Clinton says something, it makes plenty sense. But when Rush Limbaugh says the exact – same – thing, it makes no sense? That makes no sense! It is time we had a President who makes sense. It is time for Palin ’12, PUMA!

So Bill Clinton is concerned about political figures being demonized and it leading to potential violence. Funny….I don’t recall him being concerned about that when the nastiness and demonizing was directed at George Bush for 8 long years. Now, suddenly, since we have a liberal Democrat in the White House, we are supposed to believe that the tone in the country has never been seen before.
