Obama must go so this nation can get back on track. As they say in the south, “You cannot get the water to clear up until you get the pigs out of the creek.”

There’s an old West Virginia saying that says, “ You cannot get the water to clear up until you get the pigs out of the creek.” I can’t help but equate that saying to the upcoming U. S.

That candidate is Tom Smith.
