Never has the president's family been open game. How can we as a nation not be as outraged about this as I am? These comments are the tip of the iceberg. I strongly suggest that you go to the website and check it out. If you want more proof you can do as I did, go to twitter and see for yourself. Words cannot convey how I feel about this. Outrage is the closest thing that I can come up with. This is why we can't get anything done in Washington. There are politicians that were elected by these people.
