Pentagon Hexagon OBAMAISGON Octagon Now this, this is a meme l can stand behind. As a proud conservative mother of 5, cannot recall how many times these millenial liberals have spoke about obama like he's some kind of god! Crazy, right?! Well... This collage makes fun of that as obama is out of the office which means we can finally rebuild our country!

CLEARLY THIS ISA SIGN OF CHILD ABUSE AS THE BIG BOY HAS SEVERE EATING ISSUES NORMALLY HUMANS ARE NOT OVERWHGHTSO THATS WHY ITIS FUNNY TO MAKE JOKES BECAUSEHE IS DIFFERENT HA DO YOU GET IT LIKE IF YOU AGREE Hey guys, it's Peter again. That part where I explained the joke was very funny. In most cases, basically explaining the joke to the xiewer ruins the joke, but the reason while this is stl funny is because Peter 1 is doing ironically and the people who will view this meme will most likely understand that.
