Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up

KEEP IT UP

Keep challenging Obama's legitimate election

Keep calling him a terrorist and a Muslim and a racist

His approval rating is only 80%; we want it higher and with your help
it will be

See, unlike you cretins, the American people LIKE our new President
and want him to succeed
