Viguerie, publisher of ConservativeHQ.com, appears to have had the same reaction as many conservatives to Barack Obama’s performance and his subsequent complaints regarding the ABC News debate in Philadelphia between Hillary Clinton and Obama: Barack’s performance lacked any sort of dignity desired in a president and he showed clear thinking Americans [...]
