Did you have a problem with liberals bashing conservatives when President Bush said that Africa was a very poor nation, or are you being hypocritical?

A group so smart they still have a main menu link to "Romney 2012", despite the fact their blog is recently updated.

The same university allows the president of it's law review to not have anything published in their product.

I thought that was Sarah Palin. Anyway, it's not Obama who doesn't know the capital of Canada.

What's this got to do with Obama?
