A Children’s Treasury Of Weird Commentary On Obama’s Speech From The National Review’s Blog
Thursday, July 24th, 2008
It’s not just John McCain, but all of “these people,” who can think of no better way to spend their time than by making petty one-liners about Barack Obama giving a speech to a large number of human beings somewhere.
