Are you so scared of Hillary that you need to make up this, “I am done with politics” crap? I can’t even find a reference to Hillary being on the air with Brian Williams in December 2012. This quote is pure fiction.There is this, however: The day after the election, Romney returned to Bain Capital, but the loss had a lasting effect; he told his brother, “I never want to run for something again unless I can win.” (after losing to Ted Kennedy in 1994.)

@ Troll: “Starting with the Marine holding the umbrella, the White House honor guard is a coveted position and the Marines who get those posts have to work to do so. "Umm… No. Marine Corps Order P1020.34F states no male United States Marine shall carry an umbrella while in uniform. Obama’s order directly violates and countermands a standing order. Obama has besmirched my Corps, and forced that Marine to violate his orders. Not gonna comment on the rest, because I think this argument has been beaten to death.

Is the rape, sexual abuse, and general misconduct that’s gone on in the military for decades also being blamed on Obama?
