But its not Bob. You know something the guy is wearing an Arkansas t shirt. Some people are all worried about Obama not being an American citizen and all. You know something though, I worry about people who call hogs during a football game. Can they be real Americans? I don&#8217;t know, you tell me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/5195626943\/\" title=\"Darrel Duke by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Darrel Duke\" height=\"375\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/5195626943_c1cdb32b1a-300x225.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here is my friend Darrell.
