It's called the "Rectal Cam". ABC News will show us firsthand how far up Oblamer's #$%$ they go.

American people need to support Obama on Jobs agenda. He wants to lower tax
for companies that create Jobs in the US and no for those that send Jobs overseas,
Yes we need to be specific on tax brackets, those that create Jobs in the US should
get a Flat 15%, AND THOSE THAT SEND JOBS OVERSEAS SHOULD GET 35%
FLAT, WITHOUT LOOPOLES SO NO COMPANIES CAN AVOID TAX.
