Barack Obama has throw down, and some people on the left don’t like it.
When he was a candidate I mused upon Barack’s sexual flirtation with the country. After America’s eight years of being tied-up and ball-gagged by W. what kind of a lover was Obama promising to be?

According to the Local, an English-language Swedish news source, child porn has been available from the country’s National Library.
