Obama hates Americans

Brutally honest points to an interesting statement by President Barack Hussein Obama: We are putting the full force of the White House and the State Department to make sure that not only is this is a successful games but that visitors from all around the world feel welcome, and I think that, you know,  over the last several years sometimes sometimes, uh, that … that fundamental truth about the United …
