It's a fair point. We on the left let Bush & Co get away with a ton of **** because some of us couldn't face the fact that he was, indeed, in office - controversy notwithstanding.

My personal feeling is that this current "controversy" is made up of whole cloth. It's still a distraction when you all, and by that I mean conservatives as a whole, don't need any. Y'all need to be rebuilding and finding common ground, and some inspiring leaders who aren't lunatics.

My sympathies, having been there in the not too distant past.

Nah. It's a whole lot easier and more satisfying to blame the other guy than it is to look at yourself. They don't want to see or admit to how bad shape they're in.

Yup. Apparently there's nothing wrong with the Republican party that a little urban slang wouldn't cure.

Don't know why, but what the heck?

Gbaji says that Obama might not be a natural born citizen because Obama never had to show his birth certificate to anyone in order to get on the ballot. I'm saying "Should this be true, how do you, gbaji, know that he, Obama, never showed his [Obama] birth certificate to get on a ballot beforehand?"


I don't. But that's irrelevant. That's like a store clerk defending not carding someone buying liquor because he didn't know whether or not someone else had already carded him. If you don't know, you card the person, right? Heck. Even if someone else says they carded him, but you haven't, you card him, right?

Past claims and assumptions don't matter.

Quote:
I would assume that one must prove they are a US citizen in order to run for many of the offices Obama has held. Presumably he [Obama] didn't apply to be a citizen, or that would have been found by now, so he [Obama] most likely showed his [Obama] birth certificate (really the only other way to prove citizenship) in order to get on the ballot.


You're assuming that though. No amount of your assumption proves that he has. Maybe at every single step along the way, each person just assumed as you did that he must have already shown his birth certificate, so there's no need to check...


I'm just not sure how your assumption provides proof of a constitutional requirement. The burden should go the other way. I don't have to prove he's not a natural born citizen. He has to prove he is. So far, he has not done so. I just don't see how this is even a matter to debate.

Hawaii's own state government does not accept the form of certification Obama submitted as proof of being born in the state (there's a homestead status for people born in Hawaii which has more stringent requirements). It requires a copy of the full document. Yet we're supposed to accept this when it's the US presidency at stake? Why not just take a gander at the original document? Why is this even an issue?

To those whose opinions on it have merit, sure. To you, not so much. In fact, the courts have ruled exactly that.

To the satisfaction of those who had standing to complain and invesitgate, he apparently has. Or else he hasn't and those people just willingly forfeited their complaints by chosing to remain silent rather than raise this super-important Constitutional issue.

If I were you, I'd write a letter to my Congressman, post haste.

Wah wah wah.

It cracks me up to think you'll be spending the next four years in these hysterics. Can we start making cute little terms like "Obama Derangement Syndrome" yet?

Yes we can!

Jophed,

Hysterics? Wait until unemployment hits 15% then we'll see the hysterics. And it will hit 15% if Obama keeps going the way he is.

Then again most of you have no aspirations of running a successful growing business. Not to worry people like myself will continue to give preferrential treatment to attractive in shape non-smokers, which discounts most of you.

Knoxville is the home of the greatest college football program in the nation. Every saturday in fall/winter you can expect hundreds of thousands of people on the strip and in the stadium. Of course we don't have all the gangs and crime chicago does. And let me tell you about all those gorgeous college students 17-23 wearing next to nothing walking/sweating in 100 degree 100 humidity along with everyone else. Flash a few hundred and a freshly washed and waxed car like mine and see how much fun you can have. Yeah I know life is rough.

Jophed,

Who said buy sex? Only thing I buy are enough drinks to get her and her sorority friends really drunk. Then ask them if they want to go out on the boat. You'd be amazed at how quickly a drunk college girl comes out of her clothes on the lake.
