Poor Vetting from Team Obama Strikes Twice in One Day
Posted on January 4, 2009
Yet more for fodder for Obama’s attempt to make a world record of scandals involving his presidency and cabinet before the inaugaration. Bill Richardson withdrew his nomination today after a fishy whiff was in the breeze. Now we’ve got another fishy smell higher up the ladder.
WASHINGTON: A developer in New York state donated $100,000 to former President Bill Clinton’s foundation in November 2004, around the same time that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton helped secure millions of dollars in federal assistance for the businessman’s mall project.
Hillary Clinton helped enact legislation allowing the developer, Robert Congel, to use tax-exempt bonds to help finance the construction of the Destiny USA entertainment and shopping complex, an expansion of the Carousel Center in Syracuse.
She also helped secure a provision in a highway bill that set aside $5 million for Destiny USA roadway construction.
The bill with the tax-free bonds provision became law in October 2004, weeks before the donation, and the highway bill with the set-aside became law in August 2005, about nine months after the donation.
Congel and Philippe Reines, a spokesman for Hillary Clinton, both said there was no connection between his donation and her legislative work on his project’s behalf. Reines said the senator had supported the expansion of Carousel mall “purely as part of her unwavering commitment to improving upstate New York’s struggling economy, and nothing more.”
Hat tip: Bit’s Blog who adds:
Wouldn’t it be far easier to get people all the way through a vetting process before nominating them?
Scandal from the Clintons? Who would have ever thunk? Obviously not Obama! That certainly makes me more confident of his judgement. Hope and change folks!

I’ve linked to your post from Jeremiah Films’ Obama’s selection of Hillary Rodham Clinton for Sec State with a quotation.
What is America getting after electing a fraud?
No birth certificate, no college documentation, i.e. who paid for tuition, grade standings, where did his millions of donations come from, etc., etc.
America didn’t vet Obama……the masses of voters only saw what they wanted to see…..dollars in their bank accounts!
are you kidding,the media or obama,investigating the clintons
Jules Hamil – you’re a moron.
You apparently prefer to believe idiotic hype rather than facts.
Obama has a United States birth certificate, verified by the State of Hawaii. He is a graduate of Harvard – a school that would most certainly most vociferously speak out if someone was trying to fake a credential from this prestigious institution.
The only fraud here is your distorted perception of reality.
Obama will be a world-class president that will help this country regain its feet.
You sir are the moron.
If anything, the fact that this man is President is even more reason for Harvard and anyone else he’s had some sort of association with to keep quiet.
The state of Hawaii would rather be known as the birthplace of the 44th President of the United States.
Harvard would rather continue their long tradition and culture of possessing and/or creating “leaders” in our society.
Nobody wants to see this man fail or make him look bad because it would make them look bad.
Jasper has obviously exceeded his prescribed limit of B. Hussein Obama Kool-Aid. When that buzz wears off, it’s going to lead to massive migraines.
The government-run media would have us believe that the Chosen One is unsoiled by the numerous scandals of both His political mentors (the Chicago Democrat machine) and His political picks like Richardson. Kind of a political version of the Virgin Birth, in other words.
So Obama is either an idiot that makes Chance the Gardener look like Albert Einstein, or He is just as dirty as His friends and cohorts.
….obama better hurry up and get sworn in…or….else…he will be the first president-elect to be impeached before he ever makes it….
CHALLENGE (with answer), CAN ANYONE PROVE THIS WRONG?:–
1. Constitution Article II requires USA President to be “natural born citizen”.
2. BHO’s website admits his dad was Kenyan/British, not American, citizen when BHO was born.
3. BHO is therefore not a “natural born citizen” (irrespective of Hawaiian birth or whether he may be a 14th Amendment “citizen” of USA) — confirmed in the Senate’s own McCain qualification resolution (that both parents must be citizens of USA) co-authored by BHO.
4. Supreme Court has already docketed two upcoming conferences, 1/9/09 and 1/16/09 — between dates Congress counts electoral votes (1/8/09) and Presidential inauguration (1/20/09) — to address Berg Case and fashion relief on BHO’s eligibility to be President.
5. Since the fact of BHO’s dad being Kenyan/British not in dispute, Supreme Court rules on Summary Judgment to enjoin BHO’s inauguration as President.
6. Therefore, BHO is not inaugurated as President.
7. Vice President Elect Biden is inaugurated Acting President under the 20th Amendment to serve until new President is determined — the procedure for which determination to be set out by Congress and/or the Supreme Court so long as in conformance with the Constitution.
ANSWER TO ABOVE CHALLENGE
IF, when counting the electoral votes, Congress WERE TO find by 1/8/09 that Obama — not being an Article II “natural born citizen” (father Kenyan/British, not American) — fails to qualify as President, Biden would become the full fledged President under 3 USC 19 (free to pick his own VP such as Hillary) AND THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR DEFERRAL TO THE SUPREME COURT to enjoin Obama’s inauguration relegating Biden to being merely Acting President under the 20th Amendment until a new President were duly determined.
(The preferable choice, at least for the Democrats, would seem obvious.)
I think it is time you all looked at yourselves to find out why your so angry and pretend to do the work of GOD. Hate does not belong in the USA or anywhere. Only GOD can Judge. You would rather have the Republican Party in charge because you think you can control them. Read your bibles again (or for most of you, for the first time ever) Understand what it says and not what you think it should say.
You gotta drop the hate, folks. Carrying on like this for the next eight years can only grey your hair, turn you bald, or worse still, leave you cold dead with a heart failure. At some point you gotta accept that this man was chosen by a majority of Americans and that is what our democracy is all about. If you can’t accept that, then you got no ground left to preach anything. We go to the polls, we vote, whoever wins the majority vote, that person becomes the leader of this country. It was that way the last time, the same all the way back to our founding fathers. Hating individuals because they’re Democrats or Black or Catholic or Jewish or libertarian or conservative is sick and debilitating. In the end that kind of mentality loses out. It always has. Spending your life waiting for the aha-told-you-so moment merely destroys your health and poisons your private moments. No matter how much bile you cough up here, Obama isn’t reading it and it isn’t going to change squat with what goes on on the Hill. So, may be foks ought to start thinking of some truly positive stuff they can do with their time, something constructive not hateful or destructive. Hate is not Christian and it makes no sense to list one million Christian Societies on your site if your heart is so filled with hate. Hate takes days off your god-given life. Besides, if you believe all that Christian stuff, well, hate also sends you straight to Hell. Ain’t no amount of prayer can save you there. You gotta drop the hate and live better.
Gov. Richardson has left the state of NM $400 million in the hole.
Can we send him back to Obama…..pleeease,
purty pleeaase!
What amazes me me is that anyone out there in government is investigating anything even remotely tied to Obama considering that the Republicans from McCain and Palin on down are not jumping all over this stuff-you know the Democrats wouldn’t hesitate!
Questions:
1. Is it that the PTB ultimately always stick together?
2. Do the Republicans figure that the Dems will simply hang themselves?
3. Do the Republicans think that since the MSM is in the tank for Obama/Democrats they can’t publicize their views and that
4. due to the ignorance of a simple majority of Americans it won’t matter anyway?
5. Did the Republicans see this all coming and are just sitting back and enjoying the show?
6. Are the Republicans concerned that a weakened POTUS is dangerous to America?
7. Or is it that they simply have no fight left in them?
This whole website is wacked, damn, YOU guys are pretty sick. GOD| HELP AMERICA
I quit reading the state of NM’s biggest
newspaper, The Albuquerque Journal because
they were biased in their coverage of the
Presidental Election.
They would hammer Gov. Palin, but NOT cover
Obama’s stint in the filty Chicago politics
……the two-faced hypocrits!
Barack Hussein Obama is not to be trusted. Chicago politics got him to this point. ACORN turned in illegal voters and 80% of the people who voted for him did so because he is of Afican origin. Sarah Palin has 5 times the experience of Obama, and she was only running for VP.
I understand point of view, but this filth is so twisted from reality that it’s downright unpatriotic. Obama’s father is Kenyan, therefore he is not American? That is idiotic, ask any illegal sneaking over the border to have their child on US soil. None of you have ANY business questioning his education. He is clearly FAR smarter than Bush and Palin put together. You don’t have to like the guy, but slander is slander. He will soon be your president. You weaken our country with these assaults.
Difficult to find an honest politician in Washington after being there a few years. They seem to find a way to fill up their purse and at the same time taking taxpayer’s dollars as a salary.
Fortunately, Obama in my opinion is one of the most honest and educated individuals in Washington DC.
Maybe they should also investigate Rahm Emanuel as he served in the Israeli army.
All have to say is wow
I did not know people could be so racist in 2009 and act as if it is not about race but politics and justice. I hope none of you are educators passing your personal opinions on to our future.
Since the ACLU only exists to enforce and protect the Bill of Rights, the Constitution of the United States – I wonder why any patriotic American would refuse to defend the Constitution! This must be a commie site that wants to undermine the Constitution -
Btw, Ted who is living in cuckoo land certain that the Supreme Court would rule Obama unqualified by dint of not being a “natural born citizen”, the short and straight answer to your question is a simple yes, you are wrong. For all your touted knowlege of the constitution, you seem to be unaware that the constitution does not define “natural born citizen” anywhere. Not in the original document, not in any ammendment, till this day. Nowhere! That leaves us with only an inference. There sre two kinds of Citizen: “natural born”, and “naturalized”. A naturalized citizen is someone who became a citizen *after* birth, not at birth, through numerous procedures that the constitution and acts of congress have stipulated over time. Effectively, we’re returned to the 14th Ammendment which states that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” Two kinds of citizen: persons born or naturalized in the United States. If you are born in the United States, you are automatically a “born” citizen, not naturalized. And that’s irrespective of the status or nationality of your parents as long as they are residents of the United States “carrying out legitimate business” other than representing the diplomatic interests of another country. Period. In Obama’s case, not only was he born in the United States (Hawaii being a state of the Union and not a territory), and not only was his mother and maternal grand=parents bona-fide citizens, his father was also a legal resident of the United States carrying out legitimate business and not the diplomatic representative of a foreign country. So, he is as bona-fide and natural-born a citizen as I suppose you consider yourself. Here’s the bigger blow to your deluded dream, even if both of Obama’s parents were foreigners living legally in the United States, he would still be a natural-born citizen. And here’s one to devastate you, buddy: even if both of Obama’s parents were illegal immigrants residing in this country, and he was born here as indeed he was, there is no precedent in which such a child has been denied citizenship and since such a child would not be considered “naturalized”, that is, citizen of another country at birth, he would still be a bona-fide “natural-born” citizen. At least until there is a ruling or act of Congress to the contrary. If you haven’t died from a heart attack yet, there is no need to because we’re safe, Ann Stanley Durnham, Obama’s mother was a natural born citizen. His father was a legitimate resident of the United States.And he qualifies as a “person born…in the United States”, not naturalized. You’ll survive his presidency, I guarantee it. It would be too sad if you choked on all that stuff inside because, well, you lose if you do.
Wow.Still can’t believe how ignorant people sound about Obama and his credentials; many still believe the stupid stuff about birth certificate, education,etc. Still lots of ignorance. As far as Hillary and Bill’s potential problems with donations as mentioned in this article–isn’t it now clear to all those Hillary lovers why Obama could not pick her as VP? There is simply too much taint (true or not) from the Clinton era. Hillary would have brought that ticket down if she were VP; Obama is a very smart man and the American people will benefit from his wisdom and boy after 8 years of GWB, do we need some help.
My answer to Williamsn above:
With Obama the US has no future
Jules Hamil:
We all know this is not your name and for the rest of you please just spell it out. You hate the fact that a BLACK Man will be President. Bet you like to put nuse around his neck huh. Oh but you can’t so you will slander him with remarks of disbelief. Let’s go here what has Bush give you other than Debt and the Republican Party what have they done for you or anyone else. Give it a chance and for once grow up. CHANGE MUST OCCUR. A WHITE MAN JUST LIKE YOU
Only one question ? Why was the name hussein never used in the mans campaign ? Only after he was elected has he started using the name or shame
oops sorry….forgot that it wouldnt fit on a bumper sticker
doesn’t matter what anyone thinks… an opinion is nice, but who cares? speak your mind. it’s good to share – whether it makea any substantial difference or not. whether you want to tear him down or build him up, it does not really matter or change anything of the present.
you won’t be, but he will be president come january 20. and whether you like it or not, you can do nothing about it. the american people voted and elected this man. and ‘all weapons formed against him did not prosper’. its a biblical quote if you didn’t know. even being vetted – with all the things the media put out about him, the other party did not succeed.
i’ve seen that all the money in the world isn’t enough to buy anything – even a presidential seat. accept it. he will be OUR president. move to canada or elsewhere if you hate it so much. or make the best of it.
I bow to the power and humbly ask, “Has there ever been a case of the president elect being impeached?”
We owe the Democrats SO MUCH for all the help they’ve given us: Instituting the Federal Reserve System and backing our money with absolutely NOTHING (thank you, Woodrow Wilson!) then pulling out the stop-gap provided by Glass-Steagall (thank you, Bill Clinton) that allowed the financial industry to auto-cannibalize!
Hooray! Democrats!
I am tired of white people running the show it is time forall this white-wash to wake up and see the reality that America really is a melting pot and White people are really Immigrant from Europe the True Americans are
the merican Indians and for California , Oregon Nevada and al other south West states the Mexicans. Get over it White people America has come to Realize that Right now you cannot lead anymore even other and most white people lost faith on White people.
I have always believed that Billl Richardson was not a Hispanic even though he speaks spanish.
Now, as a result of the latest Grand Jury investigation I am sure he is a hispanic.
You only have to check the politics of San Diego, Los Angeles, Colorado and Texas.

“You don’t have to like the guy, but slander is slander”
He refused to release his transcripts. First candidate in the modern era to do so. I wonder why, but then again I have an IQ higher than 90. the typical Obama voter must not. I would be curious. During the 2000 Presidential campaign, we were told by the MSM and the Left that grades were VERY important when evaluating a candidate. Geroge Bush received some C’s and therefore he had to be rejected! Just 8 years later, none of that seemed to matter. Obama went to Harvard and grades were nothing. Bush went to Yale AND Harvard but his grades DID matter. Consistent much?
Mo, White Men created the world in which you live. Medicine, rocket ships to the moon, real literature, Mozart, electricity, cars, food that isn’t eaten raw. That’s all us. If you want to live like Africans, Africa is waiting for you. There is not much medicine, and life expectancy in around 45 on average. I invite you to hate the White Man and support the African…..from Africa. While you live amongst us, you are a guest. Try to act like it. A little gratitude wouldn’t be amiss, unless you would prefer to have been in Rwanda or the DRC for all of the arm-chopping-off and baby burnings. Compared to all that, Slavery sounds like a small price to pay, especially since you didn’y pay it yourself.
I am tired of having white people calling the shots.
the republicans dominating for almost a decade allowed us to be in the current financial straits this country is in. clinton handed over a surplus when he left office. i remember my mother being able to even open a lucrative business.
i’ve received responses from many about it – in the 90’s, they could pick, choose, and refuse jobs. now… not so much. the ecomony is the way it is because of poor laedership and direction. removing regulatory stipulations/etc did not help much. \
couldnt have only been myself, so i will say We saw it all around where unqualified individuals received mortagages for homes. it was a downward spiral. poor credit resulted in the auto industry not having the sales they needed to continue in the way they have – poor and non-competative structure/etc.
the democrats have a chance now to perhaps change things. i would hope they succeed for every’s sake.
“tommy”
Because bigots like you would make a big deal about his name and spread lies like you did, that’s why
everyone has the potential to be good or evil. i do not believe all people are racist – whether its against their own or an opposite race of people.
you can look at history and see that every people had their great civilization and control to some degree. for a time, it has been the white american.
i do agree now that we see more of a melting pot with so many races coming together – either individually, or by offspring. we are all here, and with diversity being abundant, we must make the best of it to function well within society; coming upon someone outside of your race is inevitable.
as for bho, i do not believe he would have made it to senate/etc without being a citizen. i do not refute his credentials; intelligence is not something you can fake.
whether for or against him, he will be president. and whether we like it or not, there is not much any of us can do about it.
With Barack Obama the world has a future and a purpose. Ride on the president of the world. The good Lord will give you the wisdow, patience, knowledge, understanding to rule and bring peace to the world. You are the agent of change and hope to generations upon generations…..we are proud of you.
Jess..#1 I did not spread a lie I just noted a fact.
#2 I am anything BUT a bigot or a racist.
I just feel that the Obama Campaign were the bigots for leaving the mans full name out of the text and press.
My personal belief is that Obama did not beat Mc Cain; he beat GWB, the economy,and the wars at present. I truely believe that any dem running on the ticket would have won wether it be ralph nader or bozo the clown
Hey, don’t forget now that Obama is half white and lives in Chicago with the gangstas
and such. He comes by his vast experience honestly.(At least by Chicago standards)
So, we can’t blame all his failures on his
blackness.
Sarah Palin was a straight up MORON. All you people hating on Obama, I’ll bet you’re all white…..which explains the stupidity of your blogs. Get Over it!! Obama is YOUR president and aint a damn thing you can do about it. And don’t get me started on McCain..he’s is such a hypocrite…leaving his 1st wife for the now pastey face Cindy, but of course you idiots wouldn’t talk about that. I am proud to call Obama president.
To: Jim
You said: “I think it is time you all looked at yourselves to find out why your so angry and pretend to do the work of GOD.”
I say That’s a big accusation you are making, Jim.
You said: “Hate does not belong in the USA or anywhere. Only GOD can Judge.”
I say it sounds like you are doing some judging yourself. And I believe that God WILL judge.
You said: “You would rather have the Republican Party in charge because you think you can control them.”
Jim, for me it isn’t a matter of pol. party and it never was. The manner with which Obama got elected is abhorrent; I believe that a lot of the so-called anger stems from the “rigged game”; it’s like being in a championship game with severely biased refs/umpires cheating.
You said: “Read your bibles again (or for most of you, for the first time ever) Understand what it says and not what you think it should say.”
I say: I do read the Bible, but I also dont look down on ppl who dont read it. I do know that it says a deceptive man will come along and fool the ppl with flowery speeches and rise to power, and ppl will admire and adore him, and ppl of many nations will call him messiah (sound like anyone we know of?)… But that man will not be of God and he will do much harm.
From Article II, Section 1 of the US Constitution:
“No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President…”
For all of the people up in arms defending Obama on the birth certificate/transcript issue, I would like to post some basic questions, and suggest my answers to them. I hope you take the time to read this and not just write it off.
Why the phrase “natural born citizen”? Why not just “born citizen”, or “citizen”? As far as I have been able to figure out through my research, it is because all three of those terms are distinct. Sure, they overlap, but there are some key differences.
To be a citizen, you either must be born on US soil (not even to US citizen parents) per the 14th Amendment, born to at least one US citizen parent abroad who meets certain qualifications, or legally immigrate through processes created by Congress. Note that one can become a citizen at any point in their life, not just at birth.
To be a born citizen, you must have held citizenship within the United States your entire life. Once again, this can come from birth on US soil, or even abroad if your parents meet certain legal requirements set up by congress.
As for Natural Born Citizen, the key word here is “natural”. I don’t think the framers were discriminating against those birthed by C-section, but were trying to instill that the citizenship cannot be established by laws. It must be that this is the nature of your birth. When it comes to citizenship and my research on this issue, I have found that the term “natural born citizen” was used specifically to prevent those who held allegiances, past or current, to other nations from taking the highest office in the nation. Obama has admitted that until he was 18 years old, he was both an American citizen and a British subject, or held dual citizenship. Dual citizenship is a status that must be set up by laws, and thus, is not exactly what would be called “natural”.
To further bolster this argument, I would like you to note that the framers made a point to exclude themselves as “natural born citizens” with the phrase “or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution”. Most of the framers were born in the colonies, though some were indeed immigrants to them. However, regardless of the location of their birth, they all held the status as citizens of another nation previously, that being England. Once again, they held loyalty to another nation at some point in their life. This is why they had to make a special exemption for themselves.

and who’s controlling obomBa ?
you figured it out yet ?
rerun/recycling of the klittonZ.
Paula, but you AREN’T a hater or a hypocrite, right? lol. I mean, you publically calling Palin a moron. She is far from it. Take into account that the media purposely trying to make her look bad.. such as the $150K wardrobe(which Palin didnt ask for, and it was all returned) while ignoring the nearly $1 million Obama spent to guard view of his records, the $50K ring Obama bought, the $4million Obama spent for 1 commercial, Obama’s broken vow on public financing accepting all contributions even if they violated legal amounts and were from illegal sources and with zero transparency, etc. Palin just refused a pay raise – something Obama would never do! http://www.ktuu.com/Global/story.asp?S=9540766
Personally, I think Obama is a lot better than his party, especially the Clinton wing of teh party, and will bring many reforms this country has needed for the last 30 years. I will back him 150%, in spite of his party.
The Republicans are even worse, of course. They represent the Confederate states, 19th Centuy capitalism, 19th Century religion, and all that. We’ve already HAD Republican rule for teh last 30 years, and it has left of in the current mess. The last thing we need is more of the same. For the North, at least, ther’s no choice but Obama.
Tommy, you make a good point in saying “Obama beat Bush, the economy…” What has me and so many others up in arms about is the unfairness and so many lies allowed… i would have liked all the cards to have been put on the table. I am neither a big fan of Bush nor McCain, but I am a fan of truth and honesty and getting the facts right. If one is against the war in Iraq, then I can understand disliking Bush. But to blame the recent economic breakdown on Bush or on Republican policy is blatantly invalid… and Obama knows it! Shame on him. The Democrats (including Obama and ACORN) pushed for the subprime loans which are largely to blame for the crisis, and the Dems fought all attempts for oversight and regulation of lending instituions despite Repubs’ pleas (Bush tried 13 times, McCain several times – Obama never supported those bills).. and certain Dems were receiving lots of money from Fannie and FreddyMac(Obama was one of their biggest recipients!I call that corrupt). Here is proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMnSp4qEXNM

The country missed a great opportunity when it rejected Palin.
I’m with Orrin – this is crazy. Kool-Aid only begins to describe the mass hypnosis that brought about the Obama train-wreck.

and on and on and on.
It’s going to be a long 4 years.
How long can you fool all these people?
YOU RIGHT-WING SORE LOSERS ARE A SICK JOKE! ALL YOUR WHINING AGAINST OBAMA MAKES ME LAUGH!
You think that writing HERE will change anything? Voters did bring that change already you wasp morons..
Wow. A lot of haters. A whole lot of haters. Drinking the hatorade. Why do they hate? They hate because their 73yr old white man got his old ass beat, and it just didn’t get beat, it got destroyed. They hate because they can’t stand the thought of someone even half black getting elected. They hate because they are ignorant. They hate because they are scared that somehow the blacks will “take over”. It doesn’t matter if you showed them 10 million copies of his birth certificate, they will still hate because that’s what they do.
These aren’t the undecided voters complaining – These ARE the McSame supporters that were hoping for 4 more years of George W. Bush and didn’t get it. So instead of giving Obama a chance, they are going to hate because their guy wont be in the white house. There is nothing else to it. Its hate and it divides us but they don’t give a damn.
To the Obama supporters, most of you know our job is just beginning.
Omegis13, I am not convinced one way or the other on where Obama was actually born. But regarding POTUS eligibility, I am like you in that: IF Obama was born in Hawaii then he was DEFINITELY born with dual citizenship (and that is indisputable; and was on factcheck.org), but as such does he qualify as a “natural born citizen”? I don’t think so but I don’t know. Does the Constitution allow for anyone other than a “natural born citizen” to be president? Senator Mel Martinez wrote me a letter explaining that “the Supreme Court said it isnt their job to enforce the Constituion” and he added “That is the job of the people…The people vetted Obama and his eligibility by voting him in”. I was stunned. It was almost like he was hinting that “we dont think Obama is eligible but tough __.”
It is going to be amazing to see what is going to happen….The United States has done proved over 50% are uneducated…any educated person would not have voted for Obama, that was told to me by a black educated person…
I am waiting for my payments to be made for me and all that great stuff…when the people are finally uncaged from this ignorance then America can get back on its feet. Until then I hope all that voted gets the eye opener they need…please enjoy as you let the Dems continue to destroy our economy…this all stated when they took over the house with Pelosi in charge, and we wonder why California is the worst state?? Just think we have 4 more years of this.
Check facts on when the recession began…and you will see…and while I am at it – what about Pelosi’s husband getting paid from the house?? Is that not conflict of interest to hire you own husband??
We are just beginning to see corruption.
I am amazed at how many people can find so many things wrong with President – Elect Obama, yet this country has been on the highway driven by a blind man for years.
Grades you ask – how did the current Commander get his grades to pass – we know who paid for his seat(s) how did the work?
How can anyone say Pres – Elec Obama was not born in USA. Did you birth him? Give me one reason to lie about being born here? I was born in the USA but I am not bragging on it -so what?
I am just tired of everyone getting on their almighty soap box regarding our next Commander and truth be told anything is better than what we have been going through for the past 8 miserable years. The USA has been down graded and frankly everyone that voted this administration is 99.9% to blame for the economy – because had they voted based on intelligence instead of so called “breed” we would so deep in debt among MANY other things, like at war for a fight between to oil families who tink they are God.
Ask God to open your eyes and show you the light and believe that he knows your heart.
if you don’t love ALL MEN and FORGIVE ALL – How can you ask God for ANYTHING?????
Anyone else notice that the people who use hate speech and then accuse everyone of being a “hater” or a “racist” (yet have nothing intelligent or factual to say) are in fact the biggest haters of all? … Must be the kind of persons who never let the facts interfere with your opinion.
Orrin – Honey the election is over Obama has won and now it’s time to get on to the business at hand, cleaning up your choices mess.
Obama is a child born of an American white woman and a africian man – one day your child may come home with a partner or spouse of another race – accept it and move on.
Ask yourself this: If you got to Heavens Gate and the man standing there to judge you and allow you in were Black – Would you still want to enter the Gates of Heaven? Or woudl you elect to go to hell just to prove a point to yoirself?
Here’s my point – It doesn’t matter where you came from only where you are going. For what ever reason people think that black people do not spend time with and teach their families – well news flash they do!!!
It wasn’t until the white people came into the black schools and took over that black people stop being as attentive to their families – we sit down and eat dinner at teh same table at the same time – we talk to each other at the same table at the same time. Don’t get me wrong there are some bad apples in the bunch – just like with white, and every other race – the difference is black people accept every race at face value and allow them to prove themselves. Al lot of white people prejudge, teach hate and just make a mess of the phrase “United”.
We only became “United” in 2008 – let’s see how long it last in the “States.”
Open your mind and close your mouth your ears may give you something to help you grow!
the elector of saxony, Obamas Editor of Harvard Law Review..you do not attain this position with a ‘C’ average. Get over it!
Fayepe, the issue isnt grades, the issue is the U.S Constitution. Regarding where Obama was born, I think the issue is his grandmother claims she witnessed his birth in Kenya,two other family members give 2 different hospitals in Hawaii, and there were at one time 2 non-matching birth certificates posted on Obama’s site and factcheck.org, and the fact that Obama has spent nearly a million dollars to prevent viewing of the original birth cert., and even if he was born in Hawaii he was born a dual citizen and there is question as to whether that negates his eligibility. Many things were skated over throughout this campaign. I dont hate Obama at all; how I feel about the media’s behavior is a different story. Anyone about to be president should be under some kind of scrutiny; did you complain about the excessive scrutiny Palin was under? And if you think the economic crisis is all Bush’s fault, I urge you to view the links I previously tried to post but that comment is still “waiting moderation” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMnSp4qEXNM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MGT_cSi7Rs)- it shows actual 2004 congress hearings and who did what – these were filmed by and aired on C-SPAN. I take it you dont check voting records of candidates, or compare speeches, or fact check what they claim… I do this with all candidates. I mean no offense.
I think you Americans are very petty when it comes to race.Remember there is one Arnold from Austria who is the governor of California.
Fayepe
Blacks people accept every race at face value. You must be kidding. I am white married to an Ethiopian lady, living in SC. Every racist comment we have receeived since we moved there has been from blacks. I didnt vote for Obama, but he was elected and i believe we should give him our support. I have been in Africa for a while and see all the corruption there and thank god that we have the right to decide for ourselves, you should all be happy for that.And before any comments are made i served my country (US Army) for over 20 years, and i believe we all have the right to express our opinions.Leave the race out of it and judge him on his actions.
This is the weirdest site and the weirdest set of comments I’ve seen to date online. I’m astonished that people are savvy enough to go online yet dumb and bigoted enough to issue the comments above!! Go back to school, you guys, read some philosophy, some literature, get laid, chill out, grow up, travel abroad, work in a homeless shelter, quit religion. Bah.
@ the elector of Saxony:
“Mo, White Men created the world in which you live. Medicine, rocket ships to the moon, real literature, Mozart, electricity, cars, food that isn’t eaten raw. That’s all us.”
Ignorant statement. Your I.Q. might be higher than 90 but not by much.
My God do you guys hear yourself. The man is your President and you will respect him….He has been chosen by the people to lead the people
“ignorance is bliss” wake up and look around you
GOD BLESS THE EARTH & EVERYONE IN IT
this is child play after what the republicans has done in the Bush Cheney government. if you took the 10 best republicans under Bush administration and then the 10 worst democrats at the same time the democrats would come out the best. They’re no respect for republicans anymore, thank to you Bush
Obama is a probably a citizen but he is probably not a natural-born citizen as required for a US President in Article two of the constitution. This is why he will not release his birth certificate (the document he released is not a birth certificate), his school records, etc.
In the majority, Democrats are corrupt. Obama did not get out of Chicago Democrat politics without being corrupted either.
PUPPET… say’s it all…B.H.Obama want to help the economy? Stop bailing put failed businesses..This is AMERICA and if you have the gonades to start a business then you are willing to except failure.. Get ride of all Diversity programs. Hire on merit. Close the boarders to imigration for a year or two. Give the people that are citizens a chance to work.
But expect this the UNIONS will rule and the next ENRON is allready froming. “GREEN ENERGY” Anyone with a green energy idea will have the world given to them.
GOoD LUCK B.H.OBAMA
Some great comments here, but emotion aside, the question each of us must face is: Will we accept and follow the law of the land, or will we say it doesn’t matter?
In light of the answer to the above question, why do we act as if race, our feelings, the faults or mistakes of others change the issue?
There is provision for any law not good to be changed, but to say we shouldn’t abide by the law leads to chaos.
If Obama can lawfully be president, then great. Can we say that it is patriotic to say the law doesn’t matter?
Angie, Let me thank the Republicans for all the great work they have done. Not only have they ruined America’s financial system, their greed has poisoned the entire global economy. Need I add, it is a known fact that legitamate votes were not counted during Bush’s first election, because it so crucial that someone, even if not duly elected sit in the chair. I’m not disagreeing with you, I just want to know if the same people challenging Obama’a election, challenged Bush. If not, then it really is not about his qualification, and you should be honest enough to admit it.
I heard the word Fraud…Did someone say George W. Bush?????
Dick if you close the borders will you, your family and friends come harvest my crops? or will you just quit eating fruits and vegetables.
This is not a racist issue; there just seems to be a lot of unanswered questions that I personaly feel should have been answered publicly BEFORE the election. I did not vote for BHO but do wish him luck and hope that all turns out well for you, me and our country.
When People criticize Obama, I Just say George W. Bush, because these are the same goofballs screaming “these colors don’t run” and swearing that Sadam had WMD. Now after two terms of a failed presidency that left Americans broke, homeless and jobless they have the nerve to bad mouth anyone. Mickey Mouse would be a welcomed change and bring hope after George W.
Tommy, So what do you call George Bush for hiding behind the swift boat veterans and their smear campaign. It is a fact that at least Sen Kerry was willing to risk his life for this country, while Bush played it safe working on someone’s campaign instead of putting himself in danger. He could have spoken out against the lies, but he like you claim the Obama campaign did, would rather benefit. Also, you noticed the Hussein absence, but did you notice that the media always used the term Black to describe him, unlike Tiger Woods who is bi-racial. Now the election is over and he is bi-racial again. Now that we have scared as many bigots as we can with the idea of a Black president, he can be bi-racial again. While we are on the subject of scandals, has everyone forgotten that Haliburton,(Dick Cheney’s old company) got a no bid multi-billion dollar contract for war support? No bid means that other companies who could have done the work at less cost to the American taxpayer, did not even get a fair chance to bid for the contract? Smell anything fishy? Or how about the State Dept. rushing in to give blanket immunity to Blackwell contractors who may have in fact been guilty of murder? Now the case cannot even be properly investigated. Really people, I’m not naive enough to think the Democrats are perfect, but do you think they could be worse?
Michael, you bring up a very good point. PLEASE scroll to the top and see what this blog was originally about!
oh almost forgot about Whitewater.
I think perhaps its Obama himself who was not vetted,vetted by the American people,sooo desperate for change that they would vote for anyone who would promis it or perhaps they bought into his story line “a chicken in every pot” or as my father use to say “The American people will buy into anything as long as they think they are getting something for nothing”.Now he is going to cut taxes hip,hip horay while at the same time adding $2 trillon to the deficiet,lets see we owe other countries now $13 trillion dollars and adding another Trillion every 15 months,with China footing the bill for the two wars we are involved in.Sorry folks bend over,spread your legs and kiss your backside good-by,depression 2 is just around the bend…
It is time for the truth about Obama to be known. Although he was born in this country, his father was not Kenyan, he was an Alien from the planet Neptune, as am I. We came to this planet only to study the humans, not to interfere; but soon we could no longer bear to see the humans suffer from the dreaded curse of normality. I thought I would make a comment that was more sane than a lot that I saw on this site.
All We IS Saying, Give Penis A Chance…
As an Obama supporter I am tired of people who claim to represent me accusing anyone who has a problem with Obama of racism. How many people out there voted for Obama just to prove they were not racist? the polls done by the New York Times indicate that it was about 30% of his voters. Another poll by USA Today showed that twice as many people planned on voting for Obama simply because he was black then planned to vote against him simply because he was black.
Obama won, he is the president now, we should be happy. Yet too many of us are still angry. Too many of us have taken to calling anyone who disagrees with President Obama a racist, without ever looking and seeing if there is any truth to the criticism. Was racism the root of all the criticisms of George Bush? Did people criticism him because they hated people from Texas? No, there were legitimate reasons why we disagreed with him and opposed his policies, maybe there are legitimate complants about President Obama as well.
Ok SMA,
You claim some sort of military background with your choice of screen name. Where and when did you do Basic/AIT? What’s your MOS? What’s your paygrade, and name some of the places you’ve been stationed.
I’m smelling some BS because no “sane” member of the military would ever back anyone like barry hussein obama. Little lord barry has openly stated that the Constitution is “fundamentally flawed”, and that “It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution” and that the “Constitution is a charter of negative liberties”.
IF you are in the military you would have taken an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic” and to “bear true faith and allegiance to the same” which is the same oath that your little lord barry has taken twice, and will take once again on Jan 20th. The probem is that your little lord barry has NEVER honored that oath, nor does he ever intend to honor it.
“I understand point of view, but this filth is so twisted from reality that it’s downright unpatriotic.”
The only thing that’s unpatriotic are those who are defending the indefensable.
“Obama’s father is Kenyan, therefore he is not American?”
obama’s mother was under the age of 19 at the time of his birth, and thus according to the laws at the time could not legally convey birthright citizenship since little lord barry was indeed born in Kenya, and not Hawaii as he claimed. Proof of this would be on the long form vault copy of his birth certificate that he has spent millions of dollars to hide from public scrutiny.
“That is idiotic,”
Not nearly as idiotic as those who support the usurper.
“ask any illegal sneaking over the border to have their child on US soil.”
Those illegals who come across the border to squirt out an anchor baby, are not U.S. citizens.
“None of you have ANY business questioning his education.”
Oh yes we do have the right to question his education.
“He is clearly FAR smarter than Bush and Palin put together.”
Obviously you havn’t seen little lord barry speak when he’s off the teleprompter…..He makes ted kennedy or barney frank look coherent.
“You don’t have to like the guy, but slander is slander.”
Funny but for the past 8 years your demoncraps have been calling President Bush every nasty name under the sun because the laws were upheld and your boy al gore got caught trying to steal the election. Yet now it’s slander, hate speech, and politics of personal estruction if anyone dares to question your false messiah.
“He will soon be your president.”
The America hating marxist will NEVER be my President.
“You weaken our country with these assaults.”
And your ilk calling President Bush every nasty name under the sun for the past 8 years didn’t? Oh the hypocrisy!
Hey David! One day you’ll be crying cause this guy is not the answer to America’s problems – he is a total and complete fraud. Be scared, be very scared!
Hey Republicans, don’t forget: YOUR SIDE LOST!
Get over it already.
Can we get on with the process of governing? Obama has picked some of the smartest, best educated folks in Washington for the cabinet. Let’s give them a chance. Anyone who thinks only the uneducated voted for Obama is truly ignorant of the facts and the polls. I live in a Mid-west college town where Obama signs outnumbered McCain 10 to 1. My neighbors include a neurologist, a business school professor and consultant, a lawyer and small business owner, and myself a medical school professor, all of who supported Obama. Please stop the idiotic rhetoric and move on to more important things.
this is my first time adding any comment to any article. I cannot believe the anger that is being sent at Barack Obama. Holding onto this false notion of him not being a citizen and having fake or no college credentials makes you look like a bad loser and a bad america. Why can we not change the way we do politics? Your partician, hate filled messages only hurt the country. We all sat by an supported George Bush while he ran the country into a the ground. Give the new president a chance and please try to change your angry rehetoric.
First off my opinion of Mr.Obama is not to high, however me being multi-ethnic and not white and black has nothing to do with race. the mans never shown a certificate of birth with state seal, no seal means not legitimate in legal aspects, therefore should be removed from advancement to office,
the plain fact that obama or mcain were the 2 best we had in this country, its a sad day in my eyes, both are shady, why argue over obama, how about the congress overstepping the 16 powers granted to them in this multi billion dollar bailout of the top 5 percent of our country, read the constitiution and you will see what I am refering to.
petty people of this country if you want change then make it happen help people like myself reign inthe pork and the complete,lack of reference in any vote from a congress persons office to find what his constituants want, our govt is over porks and out of control but we the people or most up dont know anything contitutional other than a few lines of the preamble of said constitution, open your eyes america
Hey Drew! You’re right – when you refer to “sides”, America is divided! I am hoping that there are still enough sane people to see what this next President is capable of… you guys are all like the “stepford wives” and in some kind of transe when you see this guy – a bunch of “no-brains”… what happened to America? He is a puppet who cannot speak for himself unless someone writes it out – and so are all of you for buying it.
Wow. I have never read so much racist crap. And, all from O’Bama people? White people not good leaders? Respect the new president–from people who , on the news, never ONCE addressed our president as President Bush, but by the pharase ‘;bush” followd by a spitting sound? I think the racists are those people worshipping O’bama , and forgetting that he is just a man, with the weaknesses and attitudes of a man. NOTHING in the Constitution says I have to respect my President, just that I will follow the Constitution’s laws. With that in mind, I wish O’bama luck. He is going to need a lot of it to even meet a quarter of his promises. I predict he goes down as the greatest liar of all time.
The idea that Obama was not vetted is the most ludicrous thing I have yet heard. Was this not the longest most covered election in US history? Never before did we have debates for so many primaries. Never before have his associations been analyzed ad naseum. Given the rights distaste for Obama, surely they would have found something legitimate. Of course the flat earth society has never let the facts stand in the way of a good idea.
Wow, some of these posts are crazy. The silly assertion that Obama is not a citizen is beyond wacko. Richardson “left New Mexico 400 million in the hole” is chump change in the context of the NM and national economic condition.
Lastly, the existence of the Clinton foundation and Hilary being an active politician will lead to all kinds of charges of donar A linked to legislative action B via Hilary. However, charitable foundations depend on rich donars who will inevitably have their interests in front of congress–this doesn’t mean wrongdoing has occurred.
Please folks, think more deeply before you type.
the man is not the president until he is officially inaugurated, he is the president elect, henceforth not the president at present moment get a grip on US govt they taught us that in 10th grade for christ sakes
no wonder the world think our counrty id full of ignorant, people
“at least Sen Kerry was willing to risk his life for this country”
Kerry is a fraud, and got the Purple Heart for “wounds” that were no more serious than paper cuts while REAL combat veterans would turn down the award for such superficial wounds or worse to avoid getting the third Purple Heart and a ticket home so they could stay with their brothers on the field of battle.
“Bush played it safe working on someone’s campaign instead of putting himself in danger.”
Flying a high performance interceptor nicknamed “The Widowmaker” is playing it safe?
“While we are on the subject of scandals, has everyone forgotten that Haliburton,(Dick Cheney’s old company) got a no bid multi-billion dollar contract for war support?”
The no-bid contract was awarded under the clinton administration for support during operations in the Balkans (Bosnia, Croatia, Macedonia, Kosovo). The contract was extended because it would have cost less to do so. Secondly, there would have been no interuption in services provided, and third only Haliburton has the global reach and resources to support the mission. But I guess the truth is too hard to handle?
“Flying a high performance interceptor nicknamed “The Widowmaker” is playing it safe?”
Yeah, those skies over Texas were really dangerous during the Vietnam war. Someone ought to give him a medal.
[/sarcasm]
Yo racist pigs make me sick. I did not see John MCCain release his transcripts, and I NEVER hear people using his middle name on bumper stickers or campaign slogans. What is Sarah Palin’s middle name? It does not matter what their name is in the first place, it is their policy. It is funny how the only thing you feel you can deny him the presidency on is if his FATHER was a naturalized citizen. His father does not need to be. I know reading is not a strong suit of most right wing nut jobs but here is what the actual constitution says , “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. ” Having been born in Hawaii WELL after Hawaii was a state means by default he is eligible.
You Humans! Do you not see that your petty squabbles are why we will soon have control of your entire planet? BTW, one simply does not release a complete copy of ones birth certificate as to prevent fraud. As for whacko, lets talk about the international comspiracy involving Jews, the Clintons, and the Queen of England that is financed by cocaine. And, of course, they are all Space Aliens.
Here are some irrefutable facts. Obama spent over twenty years under a pastor that propogated hate toward whites, supported left-wing radicals, and traveled to meet with enemy leaders of the U.S. and yet he did’nt know it. He had an ongoing relationship with a terrorist for several years and didn’t know it. His campaign was launched at this man’s house. He was involved with close associations with dozens of corrupt Chicago politians but never had any knowledge of the corruption. His pathway into Harvard was aided by a man who is the “right hand” man to a questionable Muslim power broker but Obama didn’t know or doesn’t remember this.
We have elected a man who at the very least has spent his life in a fog as to the situation and people surrounding him. Now he will represent the U.S. in a world full of dangerous men and women who have the destruction of this nation embedded in their hearts. How can Obama understand and address issues that he has failed to see most of his life?
I don’t know who it was that said the Republicans have been in control for thirty years, I would highly suggest that they go back and read their history. As for the mortgage collapse, I was in the industry for 18 years, this all started in 1993 people!! Get a clue. NO ONE party is responsible for this mess, the incumbents are, both republican and democrats because they are too comfortable in their positions and think they are the knowers of all.
I didn’t vote for Obama, not because he’s black, but because he is a far left liberal who I disagree with on policy. Those who yell racist seem to be more intolerant themselves than those who oppose BHO. And it’s not his birth certificate that has been disclosed, it a a “live birth” document, two totally different things and the live birth document does not have a sequence number that matches any on file at the hospital where he was born. Take that for what you may, but there has been NO birth certificate disclosed as of this date and there are two federal court cases where his lawyers have refused at this point to supply a birth certificate. The other two federal court cases have been thrown out
With regard to Halliburton, it is also the only company in the United States that does what it does, the other two are a Russian company and a French company. People should know their facts on this site before they start getting obnoxious, there is no way, I as a soldier, would want the French or the Russians in charge of the rebuilding. Have you been to either country lately, they can’t even fix their own countries.
WHITE
GUILT IS DEAD
By Tom Adkins
Look at my
fellow conservatives! There they go, glumly shuffling
along, depressed by the
election aftermath. Not me. I’m virtually euphoric.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m
not thrilled with America ’s flirtation with neo socialism. But there’s a massive silver lining in those magical clouds that lofted
Barak Obama to the Presidency. For today, without a shred of intellectually legitimate
opposition, I can loudly proclaim to America : The Era of
White Guilt is
over.
This seemingly
impossible event occurred because the vast majority of white Americans didn’t
give a fluff about skin color, and enthusiastically
pulled the voting lever
for a black man. Not just any black man. A very liberal black man who spent
his early career race-hustling banks, praying in a racist
church for 20 years, and actively worked with America-hating domestic
terrorists. Wow! Some
resume! Yet they made Barak Obama their leader.
Therefore, as of Nov 4th, 2008, white guilt is dead.
For over a century, the millstone of white guilt hung
around our necks,
retribution for slave-owning predecessors. In the 60s,
American liberals
began yanking that millstone while sticking a fork in the
eye of black Americans, exacerbating the racial divide to extort a
socialist solution. But
if a black man can become President, exactly what significant barrier is left? The election of Barak Obama absolutely destroys the entire validation of liberal white guilt. The dragon is hereby slain.
So today, I’m feeling a little “uppity,” if you will. From this day forward, my tolerance level for having my skin color
hustled is now exactly ZERO. And it’s time to clean house. No more Reverend Wright’s “God Damn America ,” Al Sharpton’s Church of Perpetual Victimization , or Jesse
Jackson’s rainbow racism. Cornell West? You’re a fraud. Go home. All those
“black studies” programs that taught kids to
hate whitey? You must now thank Whitey. And I want that on the final.
Congressional Black Caucus? Irrelevant. Maxine Waters? Shut up. ACORN? Outlawed.
Black Panthers? Go home and pet your kitty. Black separatists? Find another nation that offers better dreams. Go ahead. I’m
waiting.
Gangsta rappers? Start praising America . Begin with the Pledge of Allegiance. And please.no more ebonics. Speak English,
and who knows where you might end up? Oh, yeah.pull up your pants. Your underwear is
showing. You look stupid.
To those Eurosnots who forged entire careers hating America ? I’m still waiting for the first black French President.
And let me offer an equal opportunity whupping. I’ve always despised lazy
white people. Now, I can talk smack about lazy black people. You’re poor because you quit school, did drugs, had three kids with
three different fathers, and refuse to work. So when you plop your Colt 45-swilling, Oprah watchin’ butt on the couch and
complain “Da Man is keepin’ me down,” allow me to inform you: Da Man is now black. You have no excuses.
No more quotas. No more handouts. No more stealing my money because someone’s
great-great-great-great grandparents suffered actual pain and misery at the
hands of people I have no relation to, and personally revile.
It’s time to toss that massive, obsolete race-hustle machine upon the heap of
the other stupid 60s ideas. Drag it over there, by wife swapping, next to
dope-smoking. Plenty of room right between free love and cop-killing. Careful.don’t trip on streaking. There ya go,don’t be gentle. Just dump it.
Wash your hands. It’s filthy.
In fact, Obama’s ascension created a gargantuan irony. How can you sell class
envy and American unfairness when you and your black wife went to Ivy League
schools, got high-paying jobs, became millionaires, bought a mansion, and got
elected President? How unfair is that??? Now, Like a delicious O’Henry tale,
Obama’s spread-the-wealth campaign rendered itself moot by it’s own victory!
America is officially a meritocracy. Obama’s election has validated American conservatism!
So, listen carefully. Wham!!!
That’s the sound of my foot kicking the door shut on the era of white guilt. The rites
have been muttered, the carcass lowered, dirt shoveled, and tombstone
erected. White guilt is dead and buried.
However, despite my glee, there’s apparently one small, rabid bastion of American
racism remaining. Black Americans voted 96% for Barak Obama. Hmmm. In a color-blind world, shouldn’t that be 50-50? Tonight,
every black person should ask forgiveness for their apparent racism and prejudice towards white people. Maybe it’s time to start spreading the guilt around.
“Ignorant statement. Your I.Q. might be higher than 90 but not by much.”
Oh, I forgot about those Africans who were sailing the vast seas using mathematics and astronomy to navigate their crafts in the 17th century. And i do remember something about them already having steam trains running from the coasts of Africa to the interior when the British arrived. As for Thomas Edison, he was clearly African, as all of the early photographs taken of him with the Ungawa-Click-Click-Sixpence photo-camera system have always shown. I really do not know how we Whites have covered up the existance of the great early-20th century space program AASA. Tell me again about the Uhuru moon missions? I seem to have forgotten all about those brave early spacewalkers.
Sir, why was Singapore able to eradicate malaria after colonialism, but Nyasaland (Malawi) still cannot manage to get it done with greater foreign aid?
Why has life expectancy for BLACK AFRICANS in Zimbabwe dropped from nearly 70 years under White Rule to just 35 years under Robert Mugabe?
“Mo, White Men created the world in which you live. Medicine, rocket ships to the moon, real literature, Mozart, electricity, cars, food that isn’t eaten raw. That’s all us.”
White men did not invent medicine. Africans have had an oral literary tradition for centuries. And surely you can’t think that all the other races ate their food raw until caucasians taught them to to cook it.
Like I said, your statement is ignorant.
Yes Lester. Go on believing the propaganda. Spend some time in Africa.

Right from the horse’s mouth: Hawaii Issued Birth Certificates to Foreign Born Residents:
A. From Hawaii’s official Department of Health, Vital Records webpage (http://hawaii.gov/health/vital-records/vital-records/index.html): “Amended certificates of birth may be prepared and filed with the Department of Health, as provided by law, for 1) a person born in Hawaii who already has a birth certificate filed with the Department of Health or 2) a PERSON BORN IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY” (applies to adopted children).
B. A parent may register an in-state birth in lieu of certification by a hospital of birth under HRS 338-5.
C. Hawaiian law expressly provides for registration of out-of-state births under HRS 338-17.8. A foreign birth presumably would have been recorded by the American consular of the country of birth, and presumably that would be reflected on the Hawaiian birth certificate.
D. Hawaiian law, however, expressly acknowledges that its system is subject to error. See, for example, HRS 338-17.
E. Hawaiian law expressly provides for verification in lieu of certified copy of a birth certificate under HRS 338-14.3.
F. Even the Hawaii Department of Home Lands does not accept a certified copy of a birth certificate as conclusive evidence for its homestead program.
johnnya2 I still have a GW04 BUMPER stick on my vehicle but you were probably to young to remember
No one in Florida has been able to cast a legitimate vote for president in 12 years. Wake up America. Our country is dying. We are in that proverbial Golden Hour. I am sick of this heartbreak. We all wanted a Black President. We all wanted a Woman President. We all wanted an American President, or most of us, surely. We got jack. Hillary is probably just as dirty as every other democrat, I know. But, you did not have the right to conspire to steal my vote again. Once more, nobody was elected. It was a farce, a force, a ..Well it was just the sort of election to make you want to swallow a bullet.
