    Oh!, Glenn

    Why would they now bring Obama's name into the equation?

    Because they are gutless and afraid to take a stand on their own. They are now setting Obama up for any heat which might come their way down the road and doing the Pontius Pilot crapola with the whole issue.

    If Obama wants these shitheads to do something, he's going to have to ask for it because they don't have the balls (sorry Pedinska) to do it on their own without cover. None of them are worth a warm bucket of piss.

    Sorry-assed bastards.

    Plus they're smarmy.
