My my, you're going to need a mighty big country-sized time machine to go back to 2007 when that's all agreed by the Supreme Court ten years from now.

What the birther people have done is take an example of a law firm Obama has hired, found out how much he's paid them to date to fend off superfluous birther actions, and redefine that as spending money to "restrict access to his birth certificate records." Stop playing the victim of the big, bad, black Kenyan president. Why anyone would lend their credibility to such nonsense is beyond me, but lend you have.

Incidentally, simply because I have only focused on this part of your post doesn't mean I agree with any other portion of it. I have better things, other than moronic conspiracy theories about the "boy" in the White House, to think about.

Find something useful to obsess over, Bob.


It doesn't seem to me to be "lending their credibility" to issues such as discrepancies in Obama's words and direct quotes from his books. I don't believe it is subscribing to a "moronic conspiracy" to question the variances.



From the article BB posted:

"Said Obama at one point in what seemed like a throwaway line, "My father, who I barely knew -- I only met once for a month in my entire life -- was said to be a non-believer throughout his life." Although he avoided specifics, Obama was referring to the Christmas of 1971, when Barack Obama, Sr. visited the extended Dunham family, including the ten-year-old Barry Obama, in Hawaii.

The president and his writers choose their words carefully for an occasion as public as the Prayer Breakfast. Obama could have safely left the relationship at "barely knew," and no one would have taken notice. Instead, he said he "met" his father, and then only once -- a locution that makes no sense for a boy who had allegedly lived more than two years with the man.

What Boyles believes -- and I think he's right -- is that Team Obama is preparing the media for a shift in the official Obama saga. To this point, the core of the Obama origins story has been that he and parents lived together as a family in Hawaii until Obama was two."

We already decided this issue. You want to override the popular vote AGAIN?

It's one thing to lose an election, it's another thing to be a sore loser, whine for two years about losing, and launch frivolous lawsuits one after another. Take off the diapers and put on some big boy pants. You win some, and you lose some. That's just part of life. :)

They'd have to find something else to whine about then. They're perpetual crybabies who obviously weren't parented very well and can't figure that part out.

Already answered. That's three, Baghdad, lucky for you this isn't baseball or a court of law run by a conservative judge.

Slim pickins', Bob, you have difficulty with anything much more than a short sentence, or two.

I guess not. All I saw was a post asking if I knew how to read and another calling me (and/or possibly you, since it mentions "big boy pants") whiners and still another questioning somebody's parents' ability to raise children. I still question Obama's words as I would any other person's of his prominence, be they Conservative, Liberal, Independant or Other.
