What is the most dangerous person on the planet?

Volunteering for Obama
I’m 40 calls in phone banking for BO. The script is really just to determine who people are voting for and if they want more info, we’ll send that. So far? One answer. An 80 year old supporter on oxygen. 38 no answers And, believe it or not:One busy signal. Continue Reading
