America is a beautiful woman with a few slight flaws. Instead of showcasing her beauty, Obama magnifies her flaws. He does this, because he knows that she is far too beautiful for him. If he can put her in her place, then he is free to pursue all women. And like his ancestral African kings, he can have a harem of women, all of whom are kept in their place—n...
