        Well, I can't say one way or the other. I live this way.

        Don't tell me, show me.

        So far, I have heard a lot, but, I have not seen anything, anywhere or at any time, that all of us, and when I say all of us, I mean The Citizen's Of The United States Of America, can say, OK, it's over.

        If the % numbers were reversed, I would be on the, He is for real side.

        Now untill this comes about, I can't say, YES, or, NO.

        Sorry, but for now, this is my stand, and this is our country and I am a Citizen of it.

          Oly - you ARE saying "one way or the other".

          You are demanding that he show you his certificate.

          He has shown EVERYONE his certificate.

          You are still demanding that he show you his certificate.

          I'VE SHOWN YOU HIS CERTIFICATE

          You refuse to go to Hawaii to go see the certificate.

          You still demand that he show you the certificate.

          He already has.

          You lose. He's an American.

          Your "I'm a country bumpkin" rhetoric gives you NO "oh, we'll just let him go" lee way.

          Obama's American.

          He even speaks in a midland dialect.

              The fact is, Oly, this president was vetted the same way every president has been vetted before him.  What is it about this president that has made this an issue?  What's different or unique about him that has made this issue so tenacious?

                  You are right he was vetted. However he never produced a Birth certificate. He produced the Birther Document which is acceptable. Problem is anyone can get one.
                  I wish this issue would go away. We have to many issues that need addressing. Besides, if someone proves he was not born here, Joe Biden would become President. Talk about things going downhill.

                    The so called "Birther Document" is the official papers available from the state of Hawaii.  The long form is an internal document and is never released.
                    If this was remotely legitimate, why did they cook up so many forgeries to get the conversation started?
                    Pathetic.

          Only when you choose to ignore the truths that have already been vetted and give weight to foolishness that has repeatedly been discredited.  Then your agenda becomes obvious.
          Answer honestly, did you advance the idea that the forged birth certificates were the real thing when they came out?  If so, you have tipped your hand.

        Let 's go back a few years.

          Sunday, June 27, 2004, Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        It's obvious and undeniable that there is an element of racism on the part of some of the people in the birther movement, and naivete on the part of the rest.

          Really. The D's use this issue to broad brush the R's as a bunch of racist or some other abstraction. I think it's pretty clear to most conservatives that the people have spoken and elected Obama President. End of story.

          Do you believe that Obama's place of birth is the biggest issue facing this country? Of course you don't. To quote James Carville, "It's the economy..." Thats my point. The economy is the issue. It's NOT getting better. It's not going to get better until the economy is allowed to complete it's natural cycle. We have been fighting off an economic depression since the 80's.

    I've written two blogs on it, and though people probably think I'm a birther I'm neutral on the issue similar to 'Oly'. I'm not sure exactly why the birthers say the certificate provided is illegitimate, but regardless there will be a book on it released in less than a month, and let's just say it's going to be very... interesting. Saying the least. I wrote about it here:

      If it is as powerful as his other books, it, too, will be revealed that it contains many errors and mistatements, as his Obama book was revealed to have and his "truther" book.  He is a World Net Daily nut job that is hardly the man I would hitch my wagon to if I was looking to be taken seriously.
      He has been roundly discredited for his sloppy work, as well as having faced criminal charges for his formation of a mutual fund that lost all of its investments.

            I agree that I wrongfully assumed that the author was something I didn't research, that's on me. I merely read that he was an investigative journalist from Harvard & the time invested and felt he might be on to something but it seems he's not what I thought. Like I said, that's my fault for not doing the research. Do you think the man who allegedly stole Obama's SSN is a fake too? Either way, I still want to see the sources this book gives as they claim Obama spent money on this? Hopefully the entire book isn't as garbage as everyone contends.

      I do not think you or most people do not understand. They are not saying the Birther Doc is a fake. Birther Docs are accepted as a legal for of proof of birth. Problem is anyone can get one. The question is why does Obama produce that document but not his Birth Certificate?

        "anyone can get one" IF they were born in that state. i couldn't go to hawaii and get one.

        and he shouldn't have to produce a birth certificate when he already provided the required documentation for his position. being from new york, i had to request an actual birth certificate when i needed it for work a few years ago, because all my mom was given when i was born was a certificate of live birth.

        if you were obama, the first black president as well as the opponent of some very cut-throat republicans, and they were demanding that you deliver MORE PROOF than any president before you, simply because they did not like you, would you cater to their demands? hell no, you'd be the president of the united states! you shouldn't have to put up with that crap. and he does not.

Personally I believe he was born here but hiding something because he is the biggest liar! he stated he never heard Wright speak that way, he was in the church for 20 years dedicated a book to him and said he was his mentor! LIAR! He could have put this to bed because Hawaii stated they have the Birth certificate but Obama has to give permission to release it! why not just show it? how come he hasn't released his college records? or is that on the internet too?

            my father, sister, and i are all from new york and i can testify to the fact that we all received certificates of live birth and had to specifically request actual "birth certificates" later on when we needed them for whatever reason. a certificate of live birth was enough for my ex-military dad to receive federal clearance for his current job. surely that gives the document some weight.

            http://www.huffingtonpost.com/barack-ob … 91623.html

            here is an article written by obama in response to the incendiary comments made by rev. wright. i'm not posting it for you, danny, but for the other people reading this thread. your mind is already made up to yell "LIAR!" at anything obama says, so reading it would do nothing for you.

            what makes you think obama should release his college records? what makes you think he needs to show more evidence of his live birth in hawaii than any other president has ever shown of his own live birth in the states? you are being manipulated by his opponents. they know he was born here; they only want to spread some doubt in the heads of those who listen so they can discredit obama. if he were to reveal every single state record, medical record, college record, and whatever else he possessed, his opponents would claim he was hiding something else.

            he has a right to privacy in some aspects of his life, and if that was not the case then a judge would rule it otherwise. the federal government is satisfied - there is just no logical basis for these "birther" demands.

                this is pretty ridiculous. the media is not in charge of obama's election to president of the united states. the federal government had to verify his documentation before he was allowed to take office.

                the media probably hates obama because he's not scandalous. the media loves a good scandal and i can assure you, if there were any to be found they would find them. look at the huge deal the media tried to make out of obama being acquaintances with bill ayers.

                you think that because no affairs or new scandals have come up that he's hiding something. it really is that impossible for you to believe he's actually a decent person? i can certainly see how the previous few presidents's examples have trained you to believe the president is a liar. but try and move past that. smile

                also, sure my link was to the huffington post. but THEY DIDN'T WRITE THE ARTICLE! it's written by obama so WHAT DOES IT MATTER? please explain. i would LOVE to hear this logic. however in case anyone else is "offended" by my choice of link, you can listen to the entire speech in which obama addresses rev. wright's comments here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrp-v2tHaDo

                yes, i do believe obama could have gone all those years without hearing the reverend say anything anti-american, anti-white, or anti-semitic. show me a quote from before 2008 where he is saying something incendiary. i can't find a one.

Maybe his college work is about Anti-American or Muslim stuff? we don't know he is hiding it! this is the highest office in our Country how can you be so foolish to not want to know everything about someone who will hold that office??? His associates are all socialist and Marxist(fact) they have books and the own words from speaking, look them up. Again he says it in his own books! If you stood in that church for 20 years and did not hear this man speak like this and not walk out either your one brain-dead person or liked what you heard! they sell these sermons on DVD! why did he dedicate a book to him? said he was a mentor to him? If you seriously are that blind I guess you need socialism because there isn't any hope for you! again unless you know this and want it but lying like all socialist do. below is a few lines from his books! Let someone deny this is what he said in his books!
                  THE AUDACITY Of HOPE

                      * He wrote “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

                  In Obama’s book, DREAMS OF MY FATHER..

                      * “I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”

                      * “I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites”

                      * “That hate hadn’t gone away,” he wrote, blaming “white people — some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.”

                  However, while campaigning in Kansas, Obama frequently emphasized that his mother was white, and that he had grown up in a predominantly white world.

                      * (Obama) vowed that he would “never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.”

                      * “I was trying to raise myself to be a black man in America, and beyond the given of my appearance, no one around me seemed to know exactly what that meant.” Honolulu’s paucity of African-Americans meant he had to learn to be black from the media: “TV, movies, the radio; those were places to start. Pop culture was color-coded, after all, an arcade of images from which you could cop a walk, a talk, a step, a style.”

                      * About student life and race at Occidental College Obama wrote “There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,” he wrote. “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.” He added: “To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists.”

                      * While in college, Obama wrote(he) disapproved of what he called other “half-breeds” who gravitated toward whites instead of blacks.

                  Again, from Colonel Ray

                      “And after college, he once fell in love with a white woman, only to push her away when he concluded he would have to assimilate into her world, not the other way around. He later married a black woman.”

                      * After making his first visit to Kenya, Obama wrote of being disappointed to learn that his paternal grandfather had been a servant to rich whites. The revelation caused “ugly words to flash across my mind. Uncle Tom. Collaborator. House *igger.

                  Some tough words for someone who wants to embrace us all.we do have YouTube videos of Obama’s pastor for 20 years saying rather shocking things–one of them just is an audio that purports to be Obama’s ex-pastor, but others actually show Jeremiah Wright actually talking, own lips moving, so that’s kind of hard to deny. Even worse, we have Obama himself saying shocking things in video.

          Sara,

          The constitution demands “natural born” so as to mitigate the possibility of “divided loyalties”

          Anyone can swear and sign the form to the registrar in Hawaii that they were a citizen of Hawaii. The individual gives the date/time of the birth and a document record is dually entered. Perhaps someone can inform as to whether you even need to show the baby! Doesn’t look like it from my read of the statute. Then you have to swear that the information you provided was the truth. That’s all that is needed and a Birther Doc is created. I know you will think I made this up but I am sorry to tell you I researched it before answering your  post. I know you will not believe it(typical). You can read the source if you choose

          As for your claim of New York, I was born there and was a Firefighter there for 15 years. I called and asked about a birther certificate. New York does not have or use a birther doc. In fact if you do not have a real birth certificate you cannot get a drivers license nor will they allow you to have vertain jobs like firefighter.

AGAIN I personally believe he probably was born here but there is a lot of questions unanswered, his grandma in Kenya, the family said two different hospitals? I find that one oddly strange! they don't know what hospital? I think he is hiding something personally and as the president of the United states he should practice what he preaches transparency but Of course that doesn't apply to him! just like him and Buffet claiming everyone should pay more that are making over 250K and These hypocrites take all the deductions and Obama even received a 12K refund!

              Tonight CNN is presenting its investigative report on the whole Obama birther issue.
              I saw a "tease" this morning.
              They say they found more evidence than even Obama probaby knows exists.
              The anchor asked the reporter if this will shut the birther controversy down once and for all.
              The reporter answered, "Open-minded people will have their curiosity satisfied. But if people are hell-bent on believing a conspiracy theory, NOTHING is going to change their minds. That's why Obama has not come forward."

              The thing that amazed me is the poll numbers they showed.
              A full 25% of Americans believe Obama definitely was NOT or probably was NOT born in Hawaii.

              This just goes to show that the "birthers" have planted the seeds of doubt. God help us if they decide to set their sights on an issue that actually means something.

                The birthers are a cult! Not a religion--a cult! People who have issues with Obama and dislike him, find it soothing to say "He is not one of us!". That is code for : He is black, he has a weird name, he doesn't look like me, he promotes things I disagree with, he is anti-American, he is a secret Muslim, etc. etc. Makes me sick!

                I think it is an ignorant movement, as all cults are. Will be watching the special- want to see if anything new (doubt it!)This is such a tired issue. Each state has different forms of birth certificates. If Hawaii's is not accepted as legitimate, can anyone from Hawaii ever run for President? Or is it okay if they are white people from Hawaii?

            hottopics,

            like i've told danny, i don't appreciate being stereotyped. what is your basis for saying things like "typical" of what you think my reaction will be when you do not know me? ludicrous. before that remark, i felt your post was well-written and actually assumed you had already researched it. you do not "know" i think you made it up so i'll thank you not to jump to conclusions about me. i've said nothing that would make me seem closed-minded, but rather have tried to offer views that i believe others might not have thought of before they started believing in this birther stuff. you presented information that i did not know, and i would have appreciated it more if it did not include accusatory, generalizing remarks.

            i have a certificate of live birth in my filing cabinet upstairs. i've seen my dad's certificate as well. i had to contact the hospital where i was born to have them send me an actual birth certificate. (uh oh, they just sent me one in the mail? that means even if obama shows you his birth certificate, it could be fabricated! gasp!) well maybe the document i'm referring to is not the same document you are thinking of? i've never referred to it as a "birther doc" so that's possible. all i know is that i have one and so do the other members of my family who were born in new york. i would have to ask my dad if he needed an actual birth certificate to get his driver's license when we lived there, but i'm not going to bother.

            now, as it stands i don't quite feel like thanking you for the aspects of hawaii's system that you pointed out in your post. however reading that made me realize that i misunderstood the hypothetical situation that danny was talking about. i thought he meant that obama could have gone to hawaii during his adult life, claiming to have been born there, and filled out a form to receive his own live birth documentation. now i see danny meant that obama's [b]parents[b/] did this right after he was born.

            don't you think it would have been very inconvenient for his parents, if he was born in kenya, to rush back to hawaii to get a certificate of live birth written up? as the son of an american woman, he would have had automatic american citizenship no matter where he was born (his situation would have met all the requirements for this). so his parents would not have had any reason to lie about where he was born because they would not be thinking, "oh no, what if he wants to be president some day??"

            also, what pregnant woman flies in third term? one that wants to give birth over the ocean, i suppose.

            this is all because some reporter used a bad translator when interviewing his grandmother in kenya. it's amazing how things can get blown out of proportion in today's media-driven society.

              I appreciate your post this time. Look I'm not saying I know he wasn't born in Hawaii, and Fell he probably was but There is seriously a lot of unanswered questions and to be honest I did not even take this into account when they first brought it up almost 3 years ago. But seriously If this man wasn't hiding something why wouldn't he just show the Country who has doubts? they estimate the amount at least 20 million people. I has vacationed in Hawaii a few times since these accusations and all he had to do was get the long form which the new democratic governor stated exists and show it, It will have the doctors name the hospitals name and some more info to take away this stupid issue. He refuses? does this seem odd to you? Well it does to me, especially when he will not release his college info, How did he pay for school? you do know he was in an Indonesian school as a kid and registered as a Indonesian citizen, maybe he received foreign aid? another question, Did he change his citizenship when he left for Indonesia? did he apply again when he returned? these are all solid real questions and because he wants to hold the highest office in our country he should be like he states transparent. then if you read those books and see who his cabinet is and who he associates with and what church he went to for 20 years, come on why can you not see why there are so many unanswered questions. I hate when right away people claim racism! he is half white and his white mother and family actually took care of him his father ran off. these are legitimate concerns. I don't care if he was white, black, yellow green or whatever!

              Sara,

              First let me apologize to you. When I wrote typical, I did not mean to insult you. But you insult me by calling me a liar. Unlike many people who post their blogs or posts, they write what they want and claimm it to be fact. As I said, I was a NY firefighter. I suffer from the toxins of 911. I have been  in the hospital for several years, I have been stick in bed since December when I almost died. I have all day to read up on topics and research them. That was why I gave you the link to Hawaii. I also told you I researched the subject before I answered you so I do not get why you said " i felt your post was well-written and actually assumed you had already researched it. you do not "know" i think you made it up" 
              I try to be as objective as possible and to put my ideas out there to. I hope others do to. I hope you read my blogs as I am going to read yours. Once again sorry if I offended you

                hottopics, first of all thanks for the comment on my hub - i'll be checking yours out, too! second, i was not calling you a liar. i can see how my wording was confusing, though, looking over it again.

                to clarify:
                i believed you had researched your post before you wrote it because it was well-written.
                but i did not appreciate you saying "I know you will not believe it(typical)". this was an assumption about me, and that's what i was mad about. that's what i was referring to.
                i was not saying "i think you made it up". that was not its own sentence. the whole sentence was "you do not "know" i think you made it up".
                in other words: do not assume i will not believe you.

                sorry for the confusion, and i hope this rewording sorts it out. it can get confusing when quoting someone but sometimes it's needed to clarify. i definitely did appreciate you taking the time to research before posting on here, because too many people don't. take care :]

    From CNN Global Public Square

    Fareed Zakaria on Donald Trump and coded racism...

    "2. The ‘birther’ issue is coded racism

    Then there is the ‘birther’ issue. I regard this as coded racism, frankly. I don’t think there’s any other word for it.

    For goodness’ sake, George Stephanopoulos displayed Obama’s Certificate of Live Birth on network TV and this rumor still doesn’t die. Put it this way: If the President was a white man named John Smith with the other background issues being the same —foreign student father, mother in Hawaii, etc. —would there be any of these dark insinuations?

    Trump should be ashamed of himself. But then, I suppose, he wouldn’t be Donald Trump. I don’t think that the ‘birther’ issue the real appeal of Trump, anyway. It has just helped Trump get free media and rise up in the polls. His real appeal is the fantasy that he can somehow get us out of the mess we’re in.

    The reality, however, is that only we can get us out of the mess we’re in."

    The mainstream media has (finally) started calling this out for the underlying racism that is the only explanation. It's ugly. However, I am encouraged by the fact that some of Obama's most vocal critics on this forum and in the media are rejecting this carp and returning to issues.

      This is not an issue of race. I agree he has produced a Birther document. The question is why does he not produce his Birth certificate? That would end the discussion. The discussion should end not matter what. After all, if Obama is proven to not be a citizen, Joe Biden will become President. Holy S@@@!! You think the country is in trouble now

    "Televangelist Franklin Graham suggested he was unsure about whether President Obama was American, saying on ABC’s This Week yesterday that potential presidential candidate Donald Trump “may be right.” Graham went on to praise Trump and implied that he may end up endorsing the real estate mogul."

    Trump's a phony! He doesn't own his property's he leases them!
    He gave Sheen a "diamond", Sheen said it was tin!
    Graham is phony too! War for greed is not Christ-like.

    Anyway--this is what it's about:
    Trump say "Bring the jobs back"--

    I stumbled on this last week, haven't gone unto it, but what they want is to lower tax rates for these businesses to come back.
    This, after they ALREADY got tax BREAKS for moving the businesses out!

    It's another scam for the benefit of these crook corporations!

    Trump is their charlatan spokesman..as is the Christian Coalition. IMO

Your to brainwashed to even see the truth if it hit you in you head with a boulder but you can spew nonsense that Trump doesn't own he leases? How can you sell if you don't own??? see how ridiculous you sound. You believe the nonsense they give you by making believe they care about the poor and helpless, mean while they are using you! and the scare part is Obama that they are trying to get rid of social security, welfare etc... I have never seen so much BS coming from the WH. I hated bush and he never blamed anyone for anything! Obama needs scape goats as he isn't man enough to take the blame always someone Else's fault!

    The birth issue is long settled......except in the mind of the delusional, simple, and blinded...

    As for your ongoing "anti-American" nonsense......it is quite clear that you have no clue what you are saying....

    After viewing several Wright videos, who you continue to rail against, I don't hear anything threatening.... 

    America is the land of freedom of speech and discontent....original American colonists rose up and burned Jamestown to the ground.....  "Anti+American" exists if you are al Quaida, or if you want to see this nation, as a whole, fall.....  I have not yet heard Wright, or any of these "anti-Americans" you keep referring to, saying or doing anything of the like...

    If you have proofs....bring them forward....

    Just on another note, Socialism, as you term it, is not "anti-American"....in fact, going back to before our nationhood began, collective action or work was the norm.....from cobblers onward, associations of workers were all around.....and the first "strikes" were way back in the first decade of the 1800's..... There was no such thing as "socialism" back then....it was just workers trying to keep wealty merchants from stealing away their profits.....  Our labor unions today are linked to these ancestors.....Marx and "socialism" come later....

            Anyone can swear and sign the form to the registrar in Hawaii that they were a citizen of Hawaii. The parents/ grandparents gives the date and time of the birth and a document record is dually entered. Perhaps someone can inform as to whether you even need to show the baby! Doesn’t look like it from what I read of the statute. Then you have to swear that the information you provided was the truth. That’s all that is needed and a Birther Doc is created. Hence the reason people want to see If a doctor signed that he delivered the baby etc... what is so hard? lets see your interpretation of the Hawaiian law Evan since you are scholarly.

      I lived in Hawaii for a long time and never realized that they didn't have a 'birth cert', I applaud Donald Trump for getting to the bottom of this.

      The Constitution says that 'only a natural born citizen may occupy the presidency' And all that has to be done is furnish a regular one like I have that has a number, MD's signature, date and all the other info.

            "Ross has been criticized by Glenn Greenwald and others for a series of stories which linked Iraq and the 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States. These reports were based upon anonymous "high level" sources and were both denied by the Administration[29] and subsequently shown by other reports to be false.[citation needed] It is claimed that Ross unwittingly helped build support for the invasion of Iraq via his high profile erroneous reporting.[30][31] Dan Froomkin asked on August 5, 2008 in the Washington Post[32] "So who told ABC the powder looked Iraqi?"

            "The NY Sun reported that Ross was ordered by a federal judge to reveal his sources.[33] In response, an ABC News spokesperson said that the organization was going to protect its sources".
            [edit] Expose on Toyota

            Source: Wikipedia

            In a broadcast entitled "Expert: Electronic Design Flaw Linked to Runaway Toyotas" which aired the night before a Congressional Panel began investigating the issue of unintended acceleration in Toyota vehicles, Ross claimed that the problem was caused by a defect in the electronic system. Toyota pointed out that the expert used by Ross was paid by the defense attorneys, and the video footage by Ross showing a tachometer shooting from 1,000 to 6,200 RPM was staged because the vehicle was actually sitting in a parking lot with the transmission firmly in Park. Toyota has demanded a public retraction and formal apology from Ross and ABC News.[34][35][36[]
            [Source: Wikipedia]

            Ross isn't the greatest reporter around. His report on Obama and Rev. Wright was clearly biased. People who don't like President Obama will grasp at any straw to smear him. Trying to pin every radical thing Wright said on Obama is obviously wrong. Obama is a moderate centrist Democrat and a believer in racial harmony, not discord.

            Oly, why don't you tell us why you obviously hate President Obama so much. Give us your personal opinion and stand by it instead of continuing to cite biased and dubious sources.???

                I wonder??? If not yours plenty of others. Surely you've seen some of the racist pictures of President Obama.

                "Number 1. He lies and can not be trusted."

                For example?

                "Number 2. NO U.S. President BOW down to anybody."

                As I pointed out above this is nothing but a smear.

                "Number 5. Spends our money and does not care about YOU or I."

                "Number 6. This Country was built on the backs of Big industry. Where are they today."

                In China thanks to WalMart and the unalloyed dogma of free trade.

                "Number 8. Will not help us, Seniors, Vets, Disabled Vets Of America."

                The Republicans are the ones who want to kill Medicare and turn Social Security over to the Wall Street banksters.

                "Number 9. Made The United States Of America a laughing stock of the world."

                Obama has gone a long way to repair the reputation of the US in other countries around the world from the damage done by George Bush.

        I don't think anyone here wants to have facts Danny! They seem to point out an argument no matter what you say! Its more important to be right ! The fact is that everyone is programmed to believe what they do depending on the geographical location they live in. They are influenced by what ever they are reading, or watching on the news. All beliefs are not your own but someone elses, because someone along the line influenced your beliefs and opinions. You may form some of your own, but at the same time still they were influenced by someone.  Depending on what you have researched you produce valid points, but even research, surveys, etc are still debatable. So no matter what evidence is put in front of you it is debatable and open for argument. Countless books are written on various subjects, they to have a bias opinion. Your media is biased on what news channel you follow. You are conditioned and programmed no matter what information goes into your head.  Your own community is even more conservative or liberal. People believe what their societys as a group deem acceptable. Others go along with it for the ride, because if you sway differently you are an outcast. In milligrams experiments it even proved that people will follow others even if they end up killing someone. That is my point you are heavily influenced by what the government, media, and society programs you to believe. When it comes down to it, you will never admit what you really believe if someone threatened you. You would go along with the crowd to save your life.

It will always be a mystery. I doubt they are going to let each one of us look at it, or investigate it to determine whether it is real or fraud.

          May 17, Hattie. The pot will boil over and the lid will fly off, I hope.

      It does! Even international relations class they discussed how presidents  come out in body language, how they present themselves in their arguments, whether they were hostile, or peaceful. We don't really pay attention to all those factors, but when you watch it through out history no matter what country you can tell the difference in the way the messages is conveyed! Even reading the documents between presidents how they handled themselves in handling the situations of wars and crisis.

          Gee, I only have 111/2 years of Public Schooling. had to quit and go to work. In 1960 my Dad hit the magic number, 65. Got his pink slip from The Supreme Courts Of California. He was a Shorthand Court Reporter.

          I got a lucky break and fell into IBM on the ground floor in 1961.

          Been a student of The School Of Hard Knocks ever since, and will never graduate.

          I went from $50.00 a month to $50.00 a week. Big money in those day's.

      Well, it's official. The "birther" movement is sooooo yesterday.
      Although Donald Trump will never, ever admit he was wrong (even in the face of Anderson Cooper!), he has moved off the birth certificate issue and is now focusing on Obama's high school records.
      Stay tuned for more news from the "schoolers" movement. lol

      The man is making himself sound like a moron. I know he is not. But why in the heck is he doing this? Any publicity is good publicity?

      However Obama was able to transfer from Occidental College to Columbia is between him and Columbia. Even if he was accepted into Harvard Law School on some kind of affirmative action deal (which is what Trump is strongly implying), you don't become editor of the law review unless you've got the legal chops for it.

      More smoke blowing up the media's butts. That's what I see when I see Trump. My respect for him is taking a nosedive with these witch hunts! (like he cares, I know smile)

        Do you believe that the amount of money a candidate can raise can influence their chances at winning the Presidency?
