Spain's an ally? Weird ally.

Guess he changed his mind. Dramatically.
And Obama said Iran isn't a big threat, then changed his mind when he sounded like a dumbass.

Big deal.

You're posts are telling - you're worried that your Messiah won't be in the White House. Otherwise, you wouldn't need to point any of this out.

Given his age, we should prepare for lots of these types of incidents should he win the election.

Just like Reagan, except Reagan had the tendency to confuse amusing anecdotes from his movies with his real life, which just made him charming.

RR certainly had a gift for charming and wit.

Did you ever see that SNL skit where they show Reagan acting like a kind old grandpa when an outsider was in the room but as soon as the person left the room he turned into a loud, screaming maniac? Classic.

That's not Mr. Bean. It's Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.

He looks exactly like an Italian elder in my mission who came out of the closet a few years ago, but was clueless that we all figured out he was gay the first week or so he was in the field.
