Jul 2015

went on a FB rant about how Michelle and a few members of Obama's family admitted he was born in Kenya. I had a few beers in me, so I said how, being black, he was probably the most investigated candidate for president and the words "only an idiot would believe that he was born in Kenya". It went downhill from there.
