I had no idea William was balding as badly as he is. Didn't notice until they were driving away. He had better get the crown soon to cover that up!

You have to wonder who is worse, the person who starts a stupid idea or the person who takes that stupid idea, runs with it and then clings to it with every fiber of their being, even when the stupid idea is shown to be stupid.
They are not little children Madverts. Little children have the capacity to learn. These people don't.

I think the president has put together a good team. I think this will work well.

george bush did not release all of his records. Only part in 2000 were released. 700 additional pages were forced to be released in 2004 due to a FOIA request.
And I still call B.S. on that statement without some proof.

Superlib,
If he did, conservatives would complain that a non-circumcised man (or circumcised man, if that is the case) should not be allowed to lead the nation.
It'll never end until President Obama pulls a reverse Senator Rawkins from Finian's Rainbow. Then everything will be jake.

Completely untrue. Check snopes. President Obama released his certificate of live birth in 2008.
Why do you people keep perpetrating lies?

CNN is now saying more than 220 people lost their lives in the storm. This El Nino is a real bitch.

Apple407,
After-birthers. I LOVE IT! For the birthers who still don't believe even after the long form has been released. It's perfect.
Bravo.

Alphaape,
Then you are not one of the people I'm talking about. You can't say they don't exist because I've met them. I've talked to people in Kentucky who cannot and will not accept a black man as their president. And when they espoused their views, there were no dissenters in the room.
You can. As long as your argument isn't racist in nature and focuses on the topics.
No. Not unless he's authorized torture the way bush did. Torturers are the enemy of all humanity.
Taka
Moderator: All readers, back on topic please. Posts that do not focus on the story will be removed. There is to be no more talk of racism, torture or George W Bush.

molenir,
According to my personal religious beliefs, I cannot put one race ahead of another but I can see when others do it. As I stated, I met them. I talked with them. They were very scary people to me. It's one of the reasons I left Kentucky. I didn't want my children exposed to that.
I'm not saying that everyone who disagrees with President Obama is racist. Far from it. But you have to admit, there has to be something to a 200% increase in death threats on the president. Especially when the last guy was so evil. Racists DO exist in America and a lot of them are birthers. And it's true in the opposite as well. Birthers do exist and a lot of them are racist. You can deny it all you want and you can call me names if you so choose but that doesn't change a thing.

I think Panetta is going to do a wonderful job. He's done a good job with the CIA. Petraeus to the CIA leads me to believe the CIA is going to continue to be very active overseas.

Wholly untrue. In 2008, he released his Certificate of Live Birth. That should have put the issue to bed. It didn't because he's a black man. He's now issued his original birth certificate. That won't stop it either, because he's a black man.
There are simply too many racist Americans who cannot and will not accept a black man as president.
If you don't believe me, spend some time in Kentucky. I've met them.

I'm terribly disappointed in the president for requesting the copies of his original birth certificate be released. He's kowtowing to the lowest common denominator. As he said himself, there are simply far more important things for the POTUS to be spending his time on. Why do they need to be accommodated? They bring nothing of value to the table. The president should not have wasted his time on them.
This just opens the door to more demands which he will have to deliver on to once again pacify the loons. Meanwhile the rest of us are stuck waiting for jobs and the economy to get figured out.
It just doesn't seem right to me.

Superlib,
sarah palin, the whore of babblin' on, has already moved on to questioning whether President Obama was really Harvard material, so yeah, you nailed that prediction.

Ron Paul was on the Colbert Report tonight. The last thing he mentioned was that he wanted to eliminate income taxes.
Well how does he expect to pay for stuff? No more road repairs? No more military? No EPA? No CDC?
Insanity.

Not if the republican candidate keeps talking about cutting Social Security and Medicare. Granted, that would require some honesty from a republican (you know the party of "not intended to be taken as a factual statement") during and election so we're double-dipping on dishonesty, but you get the point.
