Regardless of the remarks, whether tasteful, or tasteless. The question is a legitimate question, that "el presidente" could answer with the release of his college enrollment records.

[Cabin4]

Yhey look like differant paragraphs to me. That would mean a subject change. I don;t think PM is saying that SCOTUS was paid-off by the discusting criminal soros. Although I would not put it past him to try.

[351 power]

interesting that the supreme court would worry about baseball players using steriods but not check out truth/lies from a president

[Pat/Rick]

Not so much in my mind. Does the supreme court stick up for we the people or does it back the play of a corrupt government? There are many scenarios that one could think of to help develop an opinion.

[goofyoldfart]

No Junior--that is NOT ridiculous. The many revelations in the government involving corruption EASILY allow for and point to that possibility. Not to mention "other persuasions" to family, ego etc.  You know, Junior, I've been to your site that you have with Paw-Paw. Really liked it and used to read and reread it muchly (that "muchly" is for colloquial emphasis, not misspelling). Also have to add that many in this one particular forum are pretty hard line Christians and I can get fairly tired of their pious "bellerin'". BUT, since I have a chance to read and evaluate many of your rebuttals here, I find that you are not the kind of person that I wish to continue to place very much credibility too. I am a Christian (albeit one that is just beginning to learn about the Lord) and a patriot for my country. I would much rather listen to "pious bellerin'" because I can at least apply the Word in the book to what they are "bellerin'' about and learn. I learn nothing from your pablum drivel other than you seem to be a freeloader on the Constitutional rights of this country. Sorry, Dude, that's just my take on your attitude.

[scootrd]

He did apply as a foreign student for college and received financial aid. So he is either lying about his birth place or lying about being a foreigner.

This was proven to be a April fools day hoax:
This chain e-mail is a transparent April Fools' Day hoax. It fabricates an AP news story about an nonexistent group, and makes false claims about Obama and the Fulbright program. The claim is that Obama received a Fulbright scholarship for foreign students, proving that he is not a U.S. citizen and therefore not eligible to be president. Supposedly this was reported by The Associated Press. But the claim is false and the story is a hoax. The Associated Press was contacted just to confirm what should be obvious, that no such news story ever appeared on the news agency's wires. Jack Stokes, the AP's manager of media relations, gave us this statement:

    AP: The story purported to be from The Associated Press on April 1 is fake.

Furthermore, the group that the fake story credits with gaining release of the supposed "smoking gun" documents is also a fake. Searches of news accounts and Internet sites showed no trace of any group called "Americans for Freedom of Information," until recently. On May 6 such a group did appear, but only as a joke to make fun of anyone who had fallen for the April Fools' Day gag. An anonymous blogger set up a site calling itself "Americans for Freedom of Information: We Do Not Exist." Its first entry begins:

    "Americans for Freedom of Information" May 6: We are the Americans for Freedom of Information. We are a fictitious group of individuals; i.e. we do not exist. And yet, for a nonexistent organization we wield great power and knowledge! O Yea, Verily. OK, actually, not verily at all. Anti-verily, as a matter of an utter lack of fact.

No Fulbright: Contrary to what this e-mail claims, Obama's scholarship wasn't a Fulbright. It's true that many foreign students come to the U.S. under the Fulbright program, sponsored by the United States Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. But Fulbrights for foreign students are primarily intended for graduate students studying for masters' degrees or Ph.D. degrees, not for college freshmen and sophomores. No "Soetoro": Another false claim is that Obama attended and received financial aid "under the name Barry Soetoro," using the surname of his Indonesian stepfather Lolo Soetoro.

The college's Director of Communications Jim Tranquada said there's no record of that.

Occidental spokesman Tranquada: Contemporary public documents, such as the 1979-80 freshman 'Lookbook' published at the beginning of President Obama's first year at Occidental, list him as Barack Obama. All of the Occidental alumni I have spoken to from that era (1979-81) who knew him, knew him as Barry Obama. No Records: It's not even true that Occidental has released Obama's student records, as claimed in the message. Nor have courts ordered any such records to be made public.

So you think Soros paid off all the conservative judges on the U.S. Supreme Court?  As far as my "attitude," I don't believe in throwing away the Constitution because I don't like the results of an election.  Had McCain/Palin won the election I would have grimaced and went on and even hoped them good luck.  God knows they would have needed it, just as Obama needed it and needs it now. So if that makes me "a freeloader on the Constitutional rights of this country" so be it.  All Americans should be my kind of freeloaders.

Pat/Rick;

Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.

The allegations that horrified fellow Republicans and caused his once-promising candidacy to implode in four short days have given Obama a clear lead as Republicans struggled to fetch an alternative.

Ryan’s campaign began to crumble on Monday following the release of embarrassing records from his divorce. In the records, his ex-wife, Boston Public actress Jeri Ryan, said her former husband took her to kinky sex clubs in Paris, New York and New Orleans.
   
Barrack Obama
 

"It’s clear to me that a vigorous debate on the issues most likely could not take place if I remain in the race," Ryan, 44, said in a statement. "What would take place, rather, is a brutal, scorched-earth campaign – the kind of campaign that has turned off so many voters, the kind of politics I refuse to play."

Although Ryan disputed the allegations, saying he and his wife went to one ‘avant-garde’ club in Paris and left because they felt uncomfortable, lashed out at the media and said it was "truly outrageous" that the Chicago Tribune got a judge to unseal the records.

The Republican choice will become an instant underdog in the campaign for the seat of retiring Republican Senator Peter Fitzgerald, since Obama held a wide lead even before the scandal broke.

"I feel for him actually," Obama told a Chicago TV station. "What he’s gone through over the last three days I think is something you wouldn’t wish on anybody."

The Republican state committee must now choose a replacement for Ryan, who had won in the primaries against seven contenders. Its task is complicated by the fact that Obama holds a comfortable lead in the polls and is widely regarded as a rising Democratic star.

The chairwoman of the Illinois Republican Party, Judy Topinka, said at a news conference, after Ryan withdrew, that Republicans would probably take several weeks to settle on a new candidate.

"Obviously, this is a bad week for our party and our state," she said.

As recently as Thursday, spokesmen for the Ryan campaign still insisted that Ryan would remain in the race. Ryan had defended himself saying, "There’s no breaking of any laws. There’s no breaking of any marriage laws. There’s no breaking of the Ten Commandments anywhere."

After accusing my state senators and congressman of being part of a conspiracy to commit treason, I would have thought I would have received a visit from WA state patrol detectives by now, maybe they're just busy  .

Ms Obama simply didn't insert the word "ancestral."  My home country is Ireland via England in 1620.  The only Americans whose home country is America had ancestors who greeted my ancestors in 1620.  It's no big deal unless you happen to be an African-American who also happens to be president.  Then people known as "birthers" do their best to cause you problems.  It doesn't matter to them if the president has plenty of problems trying to extricate the USA from a Republican-caused near-depression and two wars, one caused by Republicans.  The birthers evidently don't care if the USA has an economic collapse and an Islamofascist takeover. 

[Pat/Rick]

jr.'42  Republican caused wars? Maybe if clinton had been more interested in defending the nation he swore an oath to, instead of getting his                  in the oval office, we wouldn't be at war with anybody over there? His showing no stomach for fight made us an easy mark.

Maybe you don't think US embassies being bombed is an act of war? Instead clinton orders attacks of the sovereign nation of Yugoslavia who is defending itself from islamofascist takeover, and bombs/kills 3000+/- yugoslavs, the very ones who helped WWII US bomber crews, helping to open the door for an islamofascist takeover of europe, is a better way of doing business? Then, the people known as truthers continue to cause problems, aligning themselves with those who would defend the islamofascist takeover of America.

The economic collapse is here,in progress, brought to by both the demicans and republicrats et al.

A true partisan democrat. The truth is both major parties are horrible. Obama is just simply a very bad president. Setting aside the birther issue, he is a complete and total failure. In addition, he is not an African American. This implies he is 100% of African heritage. Not true. He is 1/2 white.


When all else fails, pull the race card/smoke screen. Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, National Black Congressional Caucasus, ect, ect. The real racists.

I see illogical reasoning behind all kinds of political garbage. How often is illogical racism used to explain away failure for white people when being charged by black people? NEVER. Some people have to use racism to explain away all failures by minorities. The main stream media are these race card user best friends and thats why they continue to pull it.

Obama's white half is just as much a failure as his black half.
