Wow... the American public is smart enough to realize that it's going to take some major housecleaning after Romney take over the role of President. The corruption runs deep in the Obama administration... there's a whole lot spraying for roaches and vermin needed to be done.

I hadn't heard any news about corruption in the current administration (except on right wing blogs).

What corruption are you referring to that runs deep?

Corruption can refer to not letting the facts get out, for example Holder and Obama stonewalling Congressional requests for documents on Fast & Furious.

Or it can not refer to it. Just trying to figure out what the corruption was that was running deep that will need to be sprayed.
