She cracked Bill and Hil up when she points out that Barack DID win a Nobel Peace Prize... as opposed to the current Pres.

One of President Obama's Best Speeches Ever!
A complete opposite of the evil fool in the WH now.
And now Bruce Springsteen...

All that really matters is that Dinger thinks the building is ugly.

Silliness, watching the Michelle speech, she will be the Democrat nominee for 2028. She won't run in the primary though.

Probably uglier than the new ballroom, but that won't stop you from complaining about it.

Your mom is ugly, but that never stopped you from kissing her dangling pastrami lips.

I'm visiting family when I go through Chicago in August and plan to visit it.
I wonder if his tan suit is hanging there? Remember the HUGE deal Republicans made about THAT?!

typical 2 faced hypocritical worthless democrat BS for three reasons....
A) most people had to have ID to get into the porta-potty......I MEAN the ugliest building ever built.
B) the democrat oligarchy sat behind bullet proof glass. --open borders for you / bullet proof glass for them.
C) BUT THE BEST THING.. protesters outside...." maga hats ?...no. pro-life hats ?...no again.....CONSTRUCTION HARD HATS......people who built it DEMANDING TO BE PAID...........not paid, in true commie / socialist fashion..BWAAAAAAAAAAAA

I'm there now because my buddy's wife is a big shot in the Democrat party. They're going meet the President, not sure if I'm invited to that.

Don't need ballroom if you lack balls.

If a black woman wins it will lead to an insurgent uprising financed by Israel and Russia.

Whomever runs for the Dems should have a an Obama as VP; nothing says Barack can't be VP. But Michelle got enough death threats for her and her family not to ever want them to have anything to do with holding political office now.
Also, as she said, this country is not ready for any woman President.

Sure, because we need more race baiting and another made up Federal holiday. I suggest Toyotathon, to comemerate blacks getting good deals on quality automobiles. Points because it's already a real celebration.

"I suggest Toyotathon ... "
Great call.
Makin Japan Great Again!
