91. Sounds like the fucked up interpretation of someone that tells us

as often as possible that Pres. Obama is sure to lose the election of 2012,
not doubt in poster's mind.

Glad you got something out of posters one sentence interpretation.
Really interesting how that could happen....especially when you
didn't hear shit.

Great Job!

of what the President meant when talking....

Thanks! :hi:

90. That's the poster that likes to tell anyone who will listen over and over again,

that Pres. Obama will lose 2012 FOR SURE,
and is currently taking a personal interest
in interpreting what we hear.

Novel approach! :crazy:
