Hey now, thats actually not a half bad way to go out, dying after finally get to personally meet your President. 70's a good long life too, now if this was some 40 year old, id be surprised.

I would die if Obama ate my food.

Obama just supported gays. Lets all wish she died because of food poisoning...

That's ruplayer talking...

Hmm, then Romney would be president. Don't know which situation I would prefer. The worse the president, the funnier it gets though, so that's a plus for me.
Bush was hilarious, like 10 on laugh-my-ass-of scale. Romney would be like 5 or something. Obama isn't funny at all.

Silly, she died anyway. She can care less from what. However, if they ate with Obama from the same plate...
