Fool me once...

NOTE: Not a Ron Paul supporter in any way, form or fashion. Not even close, never in a million years would I voice support or vote for the rat bastard. I would rather die, come back as a zombie and eat myself and then die again and then come back to life in Hell. And there is more but you get the point.

But Obama has no cred on this issue. And the youngsters that support him are in the minority.
