    The media & Obama who choose to ignore this second most horrific attack on American soil are not fooling us. Repeat the lies and word things in PC ways might fool some but not all of us. The patriotism of Michelle & barrack is an embarrassment to this country. And some of the media seem to be making the Muslim terrorist who killed 13 Americans the victim. What is wrong with this?
