Funny, I feel the same way...
Obviously, we need background checks for people who try to purchase cars.
This woman was crazy if she thinks Obama was reading her private emails and spying on her movements, among other stalker activities. Let me guess, he was using flying machines to spy on you with cameras and assassinating American citizens! Ugh, conspiracy theorists, hey guys?
