    No sense of irony

    Some unintentional comedy for y'all :

    ....An even greater uncertainty than his inexperience,however,is his attitude towards the lawhe must uphold upon entering office .Along with the burden of the Presidency comes the responsibility of serving one's citizens with honor.A President must respect the history,culture,and law of great men who came bfore him.

    Obama has charmed his way to a Presidential nomination using his oratory skills and personal charisma. But those who look closer see the illusion fade, and find young man withgout regard for history or Constitutional tradition. They find a man bent on transforming the United States into a radical left shell of what it once stood for, and what it could stand for again.

    ..snip....

    Today the citizens of this republic stand ready to protect their nation and their way of life from those who would manipulate and usurp such freedom .
