Default Biden and his Son...
OK folks. For those of you who seem to think the Obama/Biden team can do no wrong, what's your take on Hunter Biden and the fact that he's a lobbyist?

I think one could say that about most US senators, that they took campaign funds and then passed legislation that benefited their benefactor. Thats the way Washington works. Hopefully, Obama will straighten this out.

KIDS ARE OFF LIMITS, YOU SEXIST! Honestly, I could never vote for someone who would name their kid Hunter, ditto for Trig, Track, Frick or Frack.

That's what I've been thinking about B. Hussien Obama.

Somehow, anything called or named "Hunter" just sounds a little more "American" to me.
