Senator, You Are Scaring Me

This is a classic interview and you need to watch the whole four minutes. Please!

Call them talking points if you’d like, but the Obama camp seems to have a standing order to blame Fox News for promoting fake controversy. Bill Burton – Obama’s national press secretary – joined Megyn Kelly again this afternoon on Fox News with the intention of discussion Obama’s statements during the 2001 radio interview everyone…
