"Good God!" exclaimed Gretchen,
"Couldn't they've done that in private?" Steve asked in disgust,
and Eric just sat, with a confused look on his face.

The Romney's not to be outdone, retroactively kiss, three minutes before the Obama's, thus winning the Fox & Friends "Kiss Off"

Obama did this as a publicity stunt, he might even drop drawer and bump uglies

14. The idea that Obama is a real human being like the rest of us is STILL alien to some.

Confused is the only expression Kilmeade knows. He is as dumb as a box of chicken shit.

Of course when you go to the actual story, you find out he was supposedly booed for not kissing the first lady.

Nevertheless, it's a typical performance from AOL.

time, the ampitheater erupted in cheers and shouts of '4 More Years'.

N.B. When I clicked on the headline, was taken to a Huff Post story by a 'Patrick Svitek'. But editors usually write the headlines, not the reporters.
