Are You Appalled?

The Japanese version of the inflatable Obama sex doll.

An example of how out of control the Obama Myth has become, but like the sex doll, the real Obama is full of hot air and almost nothing else.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FtmGoxFhnU&feature=player_detailpage

It’s for sure the White House is appalled that we question the integrity and honesty of a president who keeps his past an enigma, like a criminal with a murky past. Some of us want to see the actual birth certificate with all the revealing details, the same one Hillary wanted to see during the primary campaign. Some of us wonder how a lackluster student managed to drift from an also ran college (Occidental) for affluent college kids who can’t hack it in competitive Universities, to a well respected University like Columbia. A place where no one remembers the scholar Obama and his magnificent intellect. He is then thrust into Harvard Law School and on to the Harvard Law Review without writing any papers. He was then appointed to be the Editor of the Harvard Law Review; again he managed this by keeping his stellar performance under wraps, perhaps to avoid embarrassing the law students and professors with his brilliance. Still today, we wait for some evidence of this magna cum laude intellect to make itself known.

But wait! He worked as a community agitator or is that agonizer. Unfortunately, the organization he worked for and managed to funnels billions to, Acorn, was only too happy to oblige a pimp on how to set up a brothel for under age illegal aliens working as prostitutes, not just at one office, but at a number of offices. Now what exactly are the duties of a Community Agitator?

What about you, Ed, are you appalled?

Yes it’s true, the University of Chicago was told to provide him an office and a gig as a guest lecturer, after denying him the position earlier; a guest lecturer is like a guest janitor, occasionally you need them, except the guest janitor position is far more important.

The people who are appalled at the requests for documentation are the ones who work in the West Wing of the White House: the rest of us are appalled that he won’t provide the documentation and the fact that we have been victims of the greatest con job in the history of the world.

@Blake:

I have a dog that is at least as smart as Obama- I believe he was able to take advantage of “Affirmative Action”, and his liberal profs gave him passing grades, simply because, as Joe Biden, noted Democrat and rectum of his party once said, ” Obama is a CLEAN Black man…”

I commend your honesty in admitting that you can’t conceive of a man of Obama’s background doing well in school (or anything) without considerable outside help (perhaps your dog is available for tutorial lessons?). I obviously don’t agree with you, but at least you’re not attempting to hide your true feelings on the subject, as so many of your cohorts do. I can imagine a much more productive discussion taking place if more Birthers were likewise as honest.

@Skookum:

As an admirer of your skill as a prose stylist, I am flattered you appreciate the metaphor. See, not everything has to be contentious. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a match to continue in Ward D.

Tom Keep up the good work!
Mata says “It’s a dead issue. Moot point. Let it go.” A voice of reason and intelligence.
Unfortunately there are some,a few,a small minority like Blake “dog as smart as Obama” “Obama is a latte” who are, how can I say this gracefully, RACISTS PURE AND SIMPLE.

@rich wheeler:

Tom Keep up the good work!

Rich, I would hardly say that Tom is doing good work. He has continued to mistakenly suggest that the first document that was produced, back in 2008, is a “Certificate of Live Birth”, and that this document contains all relevant information regarding Obama’s birth and eligibility to become President. The actual document released then, is the “short form”, Certification of Live Birth, which only lists the father, mother, and stated location of birth, all of which are gleaned from the ‘long form’, “Certificate of Live Birth”. Granted, this could be just a minor point of error, however, Tom has made numerous other mistakes in his postings on this topic, both in this thread, and others.

For example, he states that the ‘short form’ document provides all relevant info needed, however, he has no knowledge of the actual issue, and the objections which were, and some of which still are, raised, beyond the simple question of, “where was Obama born?” Did you know, for example, that there were several different ways of obtaining a Hawaiian birth certificate in 1961, some of which were of questionable legitimacy, as regards a child actually born in Hawaii? One was simply a statement, to a government official, by one parent, that the child was born there. It’s not hard to see how a question could arise, considering Obama’s father, the lack of factual evidence, and the attempts to keep it all hidden away, that Obama had something to hide regarding his birth. Call the people ‘nutjobs’ or lunatics all you want, they had valid questions that should have been, and weren’t, answered at the time.

Tom simplifies this issue without knowing facts, and yet you praise him? Why? Because he takes this issue, and through misinformation, and misrepresentation, brushes off any question about Obama as part of some insane conspiracy?

Mata and I have both been of the mind that this issue is a loser for Obama’s opponents, regardless of the legitimacy, or non-legitimacy, of the “birthers”, and because of that, have not given any thought to “who’s right and who’s wrong”, as there are more pressing issues concerning Obama that need discussion. However, I cannot stand by idly while people who don’t have a clue about the totality of the issue continue to misrepresent their ‘facts’ as the be-all, end-all, of a discussion, just as you wouldn’t if a conservative here were misrepresenting an issue. Correct?

FORGET THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE: Here’s What Obama Doesn’t Want You To See

12 unbelievable charts.
All cued to the same thing.
They prove how horrid our ”recovery” is.
They do it in a myriad of ways.

Note that in each chart, the green line is the current ”recovery.”
Blue is the weakest.
Red is the best.
Gray is the average.

YIKES!

This thread could not be complete without someone throwing out the Race Card. Way to go Dickie! I reckon that it is complete now! Divisive and just a distraction. I thought that You knew better…

John G. I can appreciate your research on this subject.I personally don’t believe Tom is misrepresenting any significant aspects of this discussion.It does appear that the release yesterday of actual document requested will not satisfy some of the birthers.My question to you is WHY?
Your thoughts on my closing comment in #55

Thanks Have a great day

OT2 I throw out the race card because that’s what it is and to ignore or dismiss it is to CONDONE it. Sorry Colonel,I CAN’T DO THAT.

Randy You are an Army Officer and have my respect. Take a minute and read what this man said in 2 different posts. What would motivate it? You tell me.

@rich wheeler: You know Rich, when you throw out the race card when it isn’t racist is racist! You might want to do a little more investigating into the actual motivation of the person before you act in a racist manner!

@rich wheeler:

Rich, Tom has misrepresented the facts on this issue since he started commenting on it yesterday, by calling it a simple case of location of birth, and stating that Obama produced a birth certificate, back in 2008, relevant to the objections raised by the “birthers”, and more. I have pointed out just a couple of them, and have no desire to go back over everything he states on this issue, as I don’t really care about the particulars of it. What more do you need to see, in order to realize that he is talking just like the “birthers”, simply from the opposite end of the argument? Rational people, who do choose to discuss this, bring up relevant facts. Tom has not done so, but rather, used conjecture and insult as his basis for his arguments to people. If facts of the issue were present in his argument, I wouldn’t have any ground to stand on in deriding his “good work”, now would I?

And no, the release yesterday won’t satisfy some “birthers”, but not because of the reasons you believe, but rather, that they now can get into the meat of the issue on Obama’s eligibility, now that the long form has been produced, instead of clamoring for the release of it. The mistake that those in opposition to the “birthers” have made is of thinking of this simply as an issue of place of birth, which it is not, and never has been. And no, I don’t care to speculate on whether the document is a fraud, or not. This isn’t an issue that I want to spend any more time on than I have.

As for the racist comment, I’m not going to get into that, as it’s purely divisive, and too much conjecture and leaping of faith on the part of the left, essentially labeling any opposition to Obama as racist, has made that another dead issue. I will simply say that I don’t agree with Blake’s comment, nor with your label of him as a racist.

John G. Lets be clear. Neither I nor the left has “essentially labeled ANY opposition to Obama as racist” That statement is false.To deny there are racially motivated underpinnings to some of the opposition to his Presidency is to bury one’s head. With understanding and education hopefully our grandchildren and their children will be free from it. That’s my wish.

Semper Fi

The Secret Birther can’t get enough of this. Whoops. No, John, you’re not a Birther. You just happen to know everything there is to know about their issues, right down to the most esoteric detail, and you’re on record to being sympathetic to their cause, but you’re not one of them. You’re more a meta-Birther, I suppose.

I guess i am pretty simple, because i did think this was all about a “simple case of location of birth”. But apparently it’s actually about the fake birth certification epidemic of 1961 Hawaii. Wow, I really have to laugh at that. According to your unconstrained-by-time-and-space mode of thinking, Obama, in 2008, should have predicted that when he went through proper channels to secure documentation of his birth, people like yourself would not be satisfied. They would think George Soros and his father rode up on a motor boat the day of his birth and walked into town to get a fake “Certificatation of Live Birth. He should have looked at the legal document in his hands and foresaw these objections. He should have predicted the particulars of the objections and the particulars of the lawsuits that had not yet happened. He thus should have rolled up his sleeves and gotten to work on due diligence for the prosecution in the future cases against him. That’s how you think this should have gone down, huh? Oh, wait. That’s the way a Birther thinks, not you. You’re just here to point out how airtight the logic is.

@rich wheeler: You tell Me what the Motivation is. It was Your comment. I don’t deal with assumptions or tea leaves or crystal balls. I’ll let the explaining fall on Your lap.

The Race Card is like the bayonet. It is drawn when You run out of ammunition. The BC issue was/still is a dead one for me. Trump is a dead issue in my book as well. I have nothing in common with those that support him and his comments are those of a media whore that can not be a serious candidate.

My point throughout this thread is that it is a cakewalk to get your name on a ballot. Filling out the SF 86 and going through the investigation for a TS Clearance is not a cakewalk. It is an invasive process and any obstruction or hint of obstructing the process ends Your Career. It should be the same for anyone Elected/Appointed to any Office that deals with National Security info. That is My point, not your gender, sexual preference, degree of melatonin or lack thereof.

So racism is a no go in my point of view. Folks that care to introduce it had damn sure better have proof or get a cup of STFU as I have no patience for that or any other Divisive BS. Either You pass the criteria for access to Classified Info or You should be prohibited from a job that entails access. Period. I qualified two decades ago. I also was granted a Diplomatic Passport for my current assignment but as every State Department wonk is issued one it is no big deal.

Race Card? Nope, ridiculous and non-applicable here. Character, Integrity and Competence are applicable.

@rich wheeler:

I don’t deny that there are some motivations, in opposition to Obama, that are based on race. I don’t ascribe to those. However, accusations have flown from the left, particularly from the NAACP, of racist motivation behind opposition to Obama. To deny that is to bury one’s head.

And the reason I don’t agree with your particular comment is that Obama’s race has been such a motivating factor behind criticism of him, and so many charges of racism have been leveled at that criticism, that it’s gotten to the point, like the little boy crying wolf, that such accusations do not even register anymore, regardless of the validity of the charge. Not saying you are right to charge it, or not. Just that I don’t agree with it.

@Tom:

Those comments were directed to Rich, of whom, while I disagree much of the time, respect his opinion and comments, for the most part. I do not, though, respect the opinion of someone who routinely uses conjecture and slander, to attack a commenter, without attention to their particular comment. I have stated, and will state again, that I am not a “birther”, who is intent upon finding every scrap of fact that I can gather, in relation to his birth, in order to attempt to disqualify him.

I don’t really care what you call me, as your opinion doesn’t register anything other than indifference. I do care, however, that if one is going to discuss an issue, and berate commenters on their opinions, based on having no knowledge of the issue, and I will attempt a rational discussion to inform them. You don’t want to be informed, though. You’d rather continue on, in a brusque manner, brushing off anyone who hasn’t stood up and stated that “Obama is eligible”, and you continue to do so with me because I don’t do that. Guess what? I haven’t stated that he ISN’T eligible either. But that doesn’t matter to you, does it? No, you castigate me for knowledge on the issue, as if that alone was proof of my opinion. Whatever you believe, I guess. Just don’t expect to end up in a rational discussion, whether on this topic, or any other, when you refuse to acknowledge your own limits on knowledge pertaining to the discussion at hand.

@johngalt:

You don’t want to be informed, though

You know, John, I actually agree with everything you’ve written here, except the last sentence. You claim I don’t want to be informed. I have read enough about Birthers and their theories to have formed an opinion that probably isn’t going to change and I refuse to waste any more time on it. Does that make me close-minded? Life is finite, so it becomes essential to wisely allocate one’s time and some things fall well below the threshold of good sense. Regardless, if we don’t come to the same conclusion, perhaps that’s my loss, but I guess that’s fine too. I’m just not going to let someone pedantically lecture me on Birther Doctrine as if my resistance to it is the same as not grasping 2+2=4. See John, sometimes it’s the manner of delivery, not the message, which chaffs most. You keep falling back on the fact that knowing a lot about a particular subject isn’t the same as having an affinity for it; like if I know a lot about the Nazis it doesn’t make me one. True, but if I know a lot about Nazis AND run around telling people at every chance that they have some really sound ideas and we should all at least listen, it’s going to raise some eyebrows, and perhaps some hackles. So if I misrepresented you, you have my official retraction. And I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings. But you’re not going to get me into a rational discussion on something that (to me) is laughable and sinister in equal measures. Or perhaps you’ve missed the Birther response to the long-form BC which was supposed to put this all to bed? If you’d like, I’d be happy to point out my prediction yesterday morning at 7AM that this wouldn’t be the end of this no way no how. See, I do actually know a bit about the Birthers.

WOW. That is a heap of comments going there. Birther or no birther, I just wonder how you can hide a whole lifetime. Nobody tells tales on him, you know, all or some of the little secrets that you had when growing up that you hoped no one would tattle on you. Looks like we won’t have any tell alls to look forward to. Darn

@Tom:

But you’re not going to get me into a rational discussion on something that (to me) is laughable and sinister in equal measures.

Funny enough, but I agree with that first sentence there, however, this issue isn’t about the extermination of Obama, but rather, his eligibility to be President. And you did misrepresent my position, which is, that I don’t have one on this issue because after all is said and done with it, it isn’t going to matter, and there are much, much better reasons to get rid of Obama, by voting him out, based on his ideology. But I accept your retraction. Again, I’m not a “birther”. I’m not arguing anything about looking into his birth record to disqualify him. I simply was pointing out to Curt, in that other topic, that the issue isn’t going to be dead simply because a long form bc was produced. And honestly, as to that last sentence I highlighted, I had not intended to spend even this much time on the issue, so I don’t intend to pursue any discussion on it, rational or otherwise.

Unless something else that possibly peaks my curiosity relating to this comes up, like the timing of the long form bc coming out yesterday, I’m done with this topic.

@Greggie: You said:

Yeah, right. Most democrats–myself included–would have been perfectly happy for the entire matter to have been dropped 3 years ago…

Then you ought to lay blame where it belongs…

It was not until April 2008, at the height of the intensely bitter Democratic presidential primary process, that the touch paper was properly lit.

An anonymous email circulated by supporters of Mrs Clinton, Mr Obama’s main rival for the party’s nomination, thrust a new allegation into the national spotlight — that he had not been born in Hawaii.

“Barack Obama’s mother was living in Kenya with his Arab-African father late in her pregnancy,” it said. “She was not allowed to travel by plane then, so Barack Obama was born there and his mother then took him to Hawaii to register his birth.” Then in August 2008 Phil Berg, an ex-deputy attorney general for Pennsylvania and a renowned conspiracy theorist, filed a lawsuit alleging that Mr Obama was ineligible to be a candidate.

“Obama carries multiple citizenships and is ineligible to run for President of the United States. United States Constitution, Article II, Section 1,” it said. – Source

lol – the whole birther argument becomes more and more desperate doesn’t it? Obama produces documents and more documents. And of course that doesn’t satisfy the conspiracy nuts. Because whatever he does is wrong. He’s not the first and I’m sure he won’t be the first President or candidate who has had his legitimacy as President questioned. The joke is that all this fluff that distracts from the main issues where Obama is weak – so birthers/republicans/tea-partiers etc are essentially shooting themselves in the foot – as I’m sure all this blather is going to turn off the moderate voters by 2012 is this undue harrassment continues. Meanwhile – where’s a credible candidate to run against Obama? If he’s so crap then surely strong candidates would be falling over themselves by now to announce their intention to run.

I’ve never voiced an opinion one way or the other on the birth certificate. I think BHO saw DT as a serious rival and released his certificate, fake or not. The fact of the matter is that I am no friend of socialism and have never been; I have several family members who are though, I treat them with the utmost respect as most of them are much older than I, but I can run circles around each of them in a debate, not because of my personal intelligence but because the great and lessons I’ve learned from my father, from the wild horses and from the fields I grew up in, all of which were unforgiving and never played “fair”. On principal I am appalled at the needy; yet still able whom prey on the nanny government, also at the nanny government whom passes out “benefits” to them, how has it helped them?…. I just can’t support BHO the way I did former presidents.

On the race issue; I am going to stop saying “black man” and I would insist that I not be called “white man”, I am only a man! And whoever thinks that respect of race has a place in politics may want to read the bill of rights.

I am of not a slavic-american or a canadian-american or an african-american or a chinese-american or a mexican-american or a (fill in the blank)-american, I am only american. That’s it! And I will wear that label with pride. But nobody will call me a “white man” again or I will have words for them.

The banner of racism has flown for too long, to give it anymore credibility than what little it has would be a foolish way to spend my life. Sorry to people on both sides who use race as a stepping stone, I just don’t have time for childish race games. If I am missing that card I can assure you all its not because I’m not “playing with a full deck”.

God made each of us equal but obviously did not expect we would remain that way.

@rich wheeler: Sorry guys I have to stoop to his level.

Rich your absolutely right! I can’t believe how smart you are! I guess its time to come out from behind the curtain. Let me put on my pointy white hats, and go burn us some crosses,YEHAW! All us conservatives hate blacks, especially the one’s that make it out of the ghetto, I mean really thats the only reason we have to question our The All Mighty’s past! We bleed taxpayers dry and set up groups like ACORN and the NAACP because we know blacks can’t make it on there own(oops that’s the dems), you know, don’t teach a man to fish, just give him an endless supply of quarters for the vending machines. The only blacks any of us like are the one’s that are on welfare under our thumbs (oh wait, no that’s the dems also). That’s why us conservatives start these social programs, and nationalize healthcare, because we don’t actually believe that any minorities are our equals, and that they can’t do anything without our help (oh wait, that’s the dems to) . I mean everyone knows that the US is broken out to the 2 classes, Haves’ aka Whites and Have-Nots’ aka everyone else, and its our responsibility to take it from the Haves’ and give it to the Nots’ (oops thats the dems also). We get together and debate how we can spend more of the Haves’ money to make sure that all those minorities stay under our control (oops, one more for the dems).

YOU ARE AN F’IN IDIOT! Your race card is maxed out, and furthermore revoked! Go read your Dr. Seuss books!

Serious issues on this subject. 12 years ago Clinton gets impeached for (in short) lying under oath about a B.J. from Lewinsky. But nothing about him and his senate in part causing the housing bubble by forcing banks to grant loans to the unqualified or the “I didn’t inhale” crap.
Bush is still being persecuted for going off legit intel and pulling the trigger on Hussein, not to mention pulling the trigger on a war started on 9/11, or his past as a college frat boy days, or his ties to Oil, or how the last 2 of national debt are still his fault, and 100’s of other things.
But yet on a day-to-day basis Obama is a saint no matter what lie he tells, what he does, what happend in his past, or who he is associating with these days. Even though he still isn’t out of the war, admits to doing drugs, pays millions to hides his past, rammed a 1500 page bill through only because of partisanship, spends more money in 2 years than the last 4 presidents combined, has ties through his family and school to the Communist party… (ok I’ll pull that last one because I dont know how true it is, but it wouldn’t surprise me based on his radical policies), and all the while, nobody can question or criticize his policies, his past, his lies, or how he has the whole country bent over a barrel without someone like you coming out of the woods and saying some B.S. like “you just dont like him because he is black”. This election was supposed to be a turning point in our history, “finally we as a nation can get past the color of another mans skin”, bipartisanship is gone, transparency in our government, hope for everyone and a change in the way our system works, but this crap was never about any of that, it was about libs getting there way and making the rest of us deal with it while they ram it down our throats. This whole BC thing is just one more little thing on a MASSIVE list of items this president has NOT been even remotely honest, let alone transparent about (which was a big part of his campaign slogan) and purely a political play. So you libs and the liberal media come up with a second derogatory term (since racist was getting old I guess) for the people who think his story might have a few holes in it, or that its a little odd that it was such a big deal to get the document accepted by the US gov, or curious why it took 3 years and millions of dollar, or that there wasn’t a little more digging done before hand. After all he has no military background, no secret clearance, no prior trust relationship with the federal government on a top secret security level… so who knows… But it doesn’t matter because that isn’t pro Obama, so out comes the Visa-Black’. To be honest, I hope he is successful, you would have to be crazy to say I hope his policys fail, thats like saying “I hope the china collects on our debt, that will show him” … no… we will all be screwed at that point. At the same time I lothe the man, you wanna know why. Here’s a surprise, it has nothing to do with his color, or that he is doing a crappy job, or even because for the first time in my life I’m actually scared for my sons and my own future, or even that I think his policies are wrong. They all add fuel to the fire, but the 2 main reasons I cant stand this guys…. Drum Roll please… 1: He is a politician from Chicago, which is known for being full of corrupt politicians and 2: He’s a lawyer… Scum of the earth!

Again guys, Sorry about stooping to that level I know it probably made me look just as ignorant as the one’s pulling the race card.

God made each of us equal but obviously did not expect we would remain that way.

We aren’t all born equal. You can be born rich. You can be born poor. You can be born healthy. You can be born ill or even dead. There is no equal opportunity in life. Nor would it ever be practical to force equality. There is no God.

Personally I am not only appalled at welfare systems in western countries which are exploited – I am also appalled at the rich fat cats who use loop holes, tax havens etc and those who get paid millions but not based on results – particularly when they are responsible for their companies losing money & jobs. Those who work and are honest – whether they are poor or rich or somewhere in between are the ones who are decent and make the backbone of succesful countries. Unfortunately during polarised left-right debates individuals (depending on whether they are right or left) only focus on one social-economic group rather than see the bigger picture.

Well Gaffa I happen to view all children as innocent, and equal, just as god views them (whether you believe it or not). I may have just misunderstood your point, but why would you talk about a child not being equal then raise a issue with “social economic status”?

Excuse my typeing Gaffa; I’m doing two things at once. Why would you raise a point about children not being born equal economically, then take issue with people polarizing debates with social economic status?

Zac

How do you define equal?

As for why I raised social-economic…

On principal I am appalled at the needy; yet still able whom prey on the nanny government, also at the nanny government whom passes out “benefits” to them, how has it helped them?…. I just can’t support BHO the way I did former presidents.

The system is exploited by the rich and poor.

Yes, equal can have a double meaning but some of us still have a hard time seeing financial “status” as a way of determining the content of a mans soul.

Can’t say I disagree with you there Gaffa! The corporate welfare and the regular welfare needs to come to a permanent end. That in my opinion is the right thing to do. I’m sure the system is “equally” fouled up in the UK.

@GaffaUK: You said:

I’m sure he won’t be the first President or candidate who has had his legitimacy as President questioned.

You mean like George Bush in 2000? Even though the SCOTUS confirmed him as President, he had to face a vengeful media that excoriated him.

You further said:

…where’s a credible candidate to run against Obama? If he’s so crap then surely strong candidates would be falling over themselves by now to announce their intention to run.

First of all, it is way too early for any serious GOP candidates to announce they are running. Secondly, there are a number of good possible candidates on the Republican side, so be patient. I know Obie is your hero and you have an alter in his image in your living room, but I assure you, the man is the worst US President ever.

@Simon:

Again guys, Sorry about stooping to that level I know it probably made me look just as ignorant as the one’s pulling the race card.

No problem and pretty much yeah, but more.

For everyone else taking pop shots at Rich, let’s review: Rich Wheeler stated a fact, a fact about one person, not a group of people. So unless your name is Blake, you should pack up your threadbare victim complexes because he wasn’t talking about you (interesting though you thought he was). What Rich was referring to anyone with the reading comprehension of a five year old would know is true. It’ not like Blake was exactly hiding it. But thank you for letting us all know that “playing the race card” has apparently not only replaced, but displaced, racism as a reason for outrage.

@Tom: I knew you would take advantage of an open pop shot. But I do have to say, I am disappointed that all you could come up with than a dig on my and others ability to read. Which if you took literally is just silly. I would be very surprised if any 5 year old could read Blake’s comment let alone understand or take it as being racial unless coached along by someone wanting them to think that way, but I do understand the sarcasm in your comment, as I also understand the sarcasm and attempted humor in Blake’s comment, which both you and Rich must struggle with. I see Blake’s choice of words being poorly chosen, but no more than calling a mexican restaurant in texas “Tex-Mex”. This is the crap I’m talking about, any excuse to take someone else’s opinion and turn it into a racism, even if it is obviously dripping with sarcasm, just because you believe your “opinion” is “fact”, which is about 99% of your posts consist of. You and many others have clearly gotten the words “fact” and “opinion” backwards. Not to defend Blake choice of verbiage, but playing the race card to discredit his opinions and right to voice that opinion, most of which was based on Obamas intellectual capacity, which has nothing to do with the color of his skin, is juvenile. Anyone reading this post should have the mental capacity to understand sarcasm and humor, I wont say a five year old would though. I’ll give you the “Latte” comment as being on the edge, but after reading his post and coming up with my own opinion (which I’m sure both you and Rich did, before swiping the Visa-Black) it didn’t sound like those comments had anymore to do with his dislike of Obama than they had to do with Dr. Phil’s ability to diagnose “Over Compensation”. But that is just my opinion, which I in no way claim to be fact.
The “fact” that you jump in to defend Rich though (see how I used the word fact there), that is just plain cute (cute would be my opinion).

Well Skookum a guy can play a variety of cards, the joker tends to lighten things up a little though huh?

As far as the “doll”, I’m just maybe a little too PG rated. I’ve never ventured into the adult section but I do like the comedy isle, odd; it seems to be a little of both. Although, at the same time; I feel whoever ordered one must be a bit of a masochist. Kinda strange…

This just in:

According to White House sources, the Obama sex doll also has a few pre-recorded sayings.

* “Who’s your foreign national, um I mean daddy?”
* “I have tried all 57 positions.”
* “You can cling to my gun if you want.”
* “It’s okay with me if you are a typical white person.”

@Tom: I believe you have it wrong- I am not a “Birther”, and have never said he was not born here in the US- I do , however, loathe him for his policies.
How idealogically bankrupt do you have to be to call someone a “birther”, or “racist” or a “bigot”? oh, that’s right, all you have to be is a progressive, because, in the marketplace of debatable ideas and philosophies, liberals ALWAYS come up short, and like the spoiled children they imitate so well, throw tantrums and slurs around, rather than engage in civil discourse.
You, unfortunately, are typical.
Yes- I do speak plainly, not like progressives, who call a problem an “issue”, in order to make it sound less threatening- a problem is what it is, and the sooner we can call it for what it truly is, the sooner we can begin to try and fix the problem.

@Simon: Simon- My “latte” comment had less to do with the color of his skin, than the fact that he hangs more with a crowd that favors lattes over a cuppa joe. My “high yeller” comment is just what many in Louisiana have said for generations, although I admit that one might have crossed the line- but when you think of all that Michael Steele had to endure from the left, (calling him Uncle Tom, or an Oreo), not to mention Allen West, or ANY OTHER Black that professes to be conservative, I think I have the right to say what I did- Tom has the right to be offended.

Skooks Just read your posts re DADT. As a former Marine Officer I was trained to follow LAWFULL orders from my superiors. Forty years ago I wouldn’t have liked it one bit but would have carried it out to the best of my ability.Today I believe the Corps will carry out this directive with proper training and be as strong and cohesive as it has always been.The mission is bigger.Discipline is the key.God,Country and Corps.
