No doubt Georgetown will extend him an immediate invitation to be their next commencement speaker.

This guy should not be allowed outside the US for the rest of his term. I am so embarrassed by this and the German folly.

If liberals have their schools and conservatives have theirs...

If secular humanist hedonists have their schools and religious believers have theirs...

Now, now...cut the obongo some slack. He speaks from experience. He was educated in a madrassa and nobody hates Christians as much as he does. The scuzzlims taught him to hate, and to polish the nobs of other men.

in other words.. no one is to be allowed a decent education! everyone must be brought down to the lowest common denominator of his children and the ones like Trayvon that look like him.

Isn’t the Sidwell Friends School a Quaker institution? Indeed, Malia and Sasha are segregated.

Not just Ireland. He just said US Catholics who send their kids to Catholic schools are bigots. I guess I am too. I’m Protestant but some of my kids went to Catholic schools. They give a great education at about half the expenditure per pupil as the public schools.

You are right. 0bama is ignorant of the racial divide in Northern Ireland. The difference is more than Catholic versus Protestant. They have different languages, different sports, different customs. It goes back to the days of Cromwell. To 0bama those white people all look alike.
