Get the Debt collector mug.Once a prosperous nation, now a debt ridden police state. After Bush's illogical foreign policy pissed off the entire world, the tragedy of 9-11 happened. And then our freedoms were reaped via the patriot act and similar laws and acts, thus turning the US into a police state. The most ironic part is that those laws were passed to 'protect the liberties of the American people', it really makes you think.
Soon after, for no reason, George catapulted the US into an illegal oil war. That costs 7 trillion dollars to maintain . And you're paying for it.
Thank you Mr. President

He uses the phone like a weapon the same way the school yard bully's used to beat him with a bat. But no matter what he says, he will still be a whimpy fag with a little dick and no life.
