Have FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security signed a deal that would permit as many as 15,000 Russian troops to be deployed in the United States to deal with an unspecified emergency? This was not a question that I expected to be researching when I woke up today and decided to get back in the groove as Editor-in-Chief at ViralRead after the Fourth of July holiday.

Does this mean that our Dear Leader and his cabal of Progressives fear that the U.S. Military is incapable or unwilling to protect Barack Hussein Obama II during protests similar that have been precipitated in Egypt?
