He is an amazing representative for corporate interests and the interests of an empire combined. For the civil liberties of people around the globe, not so much. Keep expanding you're country's controlling interests over the globe...done. Control countries of people...Give me a propaganda slogan!..."you're either with us our you're with the terrorists"...No I need new one that doesn't require any thinking..."Change!"...There we go. Change towards what? Torturing a bit less while proceeding with the same objective. Accomplished. Obama for the win!!

gg to Beyonce though.


That would be Lady Gaga who I think gets more attention for what she wears than the music she makes... which is one way to get attention and money I guess.

But yes, utterly ridiculous.

thanks I have updated the embed to one mentioned in the comments that is yet to be 'found'
