My father came to our shores in search of the promise that they offered.

The only promise his already married father came here for was a subsidised college degree and the promise of free loving, round-heeled white chicks full of Hippie hype and cheap dope.

It just seems so odd to me that there has not been one ex-girlfriend, or even one who went out on one single date with this guy that has come forward to admit it. Not one. Those books were written to create a life that never happened. There is no one out there that can seem to back up any of his stories.

He’s a narsicist, so nope, he doesn’t. Frankly, he probably wouldn’t even truly understand your question except as something to answer in a way to help him look good to him adoring masses.

Obama, Sr. coul;d not have been Bambi’s biological father! Stanley Ann Dunham was in Cuba from mid-Sept. to late Dec. 1960. Obama was born 4 August 1961 (he claims) Do the math!

She was knocked up by someone else!

How can we get a DNA from Obama and from one of his (claimed) Kenyan clan?

Like Clinton, he is the center of his entire focus, the most important subject at the core of all considerations, and given to endless, and pukey-rancid self-memorializing.
My favorite Clinton locution was in the speech he delivered during the Gore for President campaign:
“54 years ago this week, I was born in a summer storm, to a young widow in a small Southern town”.
I still remember the look on Clinton’s face as he heard himself deliver that line: total rapture at recognizing that it was him he was talking about.
Everything you need to know about Clinton and why people like him should never be elected President, is contained in that sentence, which, incidentially , is a shortened version of a more florid sentence from one of HIS “autobiographies”.

There must be some way to get hold of Obama’s “papers”!

If only!

Of course, there are many things the MSM could have shown in the campaign and made a big deal of--but didn't.

1. His interview 7 or 8 years prior to campaigning for Pres. with a Chicago TV station, in which he said our Constitution was fundamentally flawed(his words) and needed to be fixed (my take on his words following "flawed").

2. A news article (I believe by Boston Herald) showing the "affordable housing" he touted in Chicago, got Fed. and foundation millions for, funneled it to his chums and built shoddy structures which are now not fit to live in. No other media picked it up. I read it on line-with pics and interviews with tennants. The woman who ran his campaign finances--her family and she were the ones in charge of the "affordable housing".

These are only 2 of the unpublished truths, not to mention Rev. Wright and Wm. Ayers, which did get a little traction, but not the 24/7 it deserved. Also not the Frank Marshall Davis connectiion which I believe is crucial to understanding "O"'s philosophy.

There is no one alive who can affirm any of his childhood stories. It can be whatever he wants it to be.

That's a very good point.

Bambi has had us all so concerned about his raw power grabs and ruthless reengineering of our system that we have forgotten that behind this dictator there is a sociopath, somebody who really has no personality of his own and who views all reality as something that can be manipulated to create this missing personality.

Between the fact that he holds a position that makes his alternate reality almost too powerful to be challenged, and the fact that the only people who could say anything about the actual facts are either dead or have been silenced by their governments (as in the case of his Kenyan relatives), he can say anything he wants and get away with it.

Beware of politicians who “Wrap themselves in the Flag”

Especially ones who pal around with those who gleefully trample on it.

Not even the most rabid homeschoolers wake their children at dawn to teach them the Constitution.

What a steaming pile of Barack.

Yawn. Get bent, Kristol. You knew who he was during the campaign and the debates—you still kissed his ass. You and Krauthammer and Kondracke et al can get bent.

Let Rush and Cheney lead the way. You idiots had your chance.

Brilliant insight...and the parallel’s scary.

I would put the odds at about 50% that Frank Marshall Davis is, in fact Obama's biological father. (that would blow up the NBC issue) FMD was a very close friend of the Dunhams and he liked “young white stuff”. The other 50% would be some black man or boy from Cuba. Miss Dunham did, in fact, have very round heals! DNA!!

I know that we must never--ever--turn our back on its enduring principles for expedience sake.

The funny thing is he says we must follow it's "principals". Principals can be interpreted differently by different people. How about we just follow the Constitution's WORDS. There will be less wiggle-room.

Two books, countless stump speeches, and nearly a million dollars keeping his COLB hidden; methinks this man tries too hard to prove he is an American, when a simple release of his (real) birth certificate would remove all doubt.

The Kenyan is all about himself - if you commiebama supporters think otherwise, you've had too much Kool Aid.

A self-centered person like him is going to serve himself first - you drooling followers will only get the crumbs that fall off his table.

If this Kenyans manages to win a second term, he will be president forever, and America becomes a dictatorship.

Stanley Ann Dunham was in Cuba from mid-Sept. to late Dec. 1960.

What's your source for that piece of info?

Stanley Ann Dunham: "She was knocked up by someone else!

I'm sure she was very confused at the time.

She could have used one of these to keep things straight:

I think Kristol was posing a rhetorical question. By this time, all can see that Hussein is in love with himself.

Cuba was in revolution at that time. Where did you hear that Stanley Ann was there then?
