Courtesy of Wade on Birmingham and The Birmingham News, Barack Obama is back in Alabama again. He will be in Huntsville today and Birmingham tonight for fundraising events for his campaign.
Now what surprises me is that you can attend the lunchtime affairs in Rocket City for anywhere from $1000 to $2300. (Yikes! That’d better be some good soup!) But dinner in Birmingham will only cost you $25. Yup, less than a tank of gas, that Obama is a cheap date for the Magic City.
I won’t be going, no sir-ee Bob; but I would be interested in hearing real answers to key issues rather than the tired rhetoric that’s currently posted to his website. Don’t tell me what you think I want to hear, tell me what you actually PLAN to do about the problems in this country — because brother, you haven’t said anything to impress me YET!

Alabama Bloggers Carnival – Issue #14…
Hello! My name is Nicki and I am your guide for this week’s edition of the Alabama Bloggers Carnival. I must ask that you please keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times. We have a great lineup, so if everyone’s ready, le…

Barack husain obama Was born the son of a muslim. He was schooled
in a madrasa thru his formitive years. The koran claims that if one is born of a muslim father that the son is a muslim for life.
Do you think the republicans know he was not native born as is requiered by our consatution? Or has bush thronw out that part too?
Nicki
Hi Thomas,
From what I’ve read, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii, thereby fulfilling the prerequisite to which you referred. I’m sure Republicans are fully aware of his heritage and his religion (as am I). Given that my brother and his lovely wife are Obama supporters, as are several other loved ones and friends, I’ve been given plenty of Obama-related material via email, etc.
… doesn’t sway my vote though. ;P
howard bernier
I’malmost ashmedto ask..BUT in view of the odd residences in Mr. Obama’s youth ( as compared tomost Americans, that is)does anyone know if he has produced a birth certificate from Hawaii or a hospital in Hawaii or do we just take him at this word that he was bornin the U.S>???
Nicki
As I understand it, the requirements to run for President are:
* be a natural-born citizen of the United States
* be at least 35 years of age
* have been a resident of the United States for at least 14 years
I would imagine that when he submitted his Statement of Candidacy form, he would have to show proof of the above.
Terri Guthrie
We have seen what Muslims have done to America, do we really need or want this as our Commander/Chief. I think not! We will all be reading the Koran and having 35 prayer breaks a day
Tom
Baracka Hussein Obama Was born a muslim and went to a madrussa
untill he was 9 yrs of age. This formed his core values. Now we have had an extremist call for jahad against the USA. His subconious mind
is programed to respond to the call. Now we find that he has been working the system like any other low rent poliction as the Rezeo
trail has shown to us. The repubs are so very happy to run against him
that they are about to wet there pants. Do we really want more of the same that got us to this place and time? Reagan, Bush & Bush ? Via
Carl Rove ? This is not American Idol, This is for real…
DeAnna Devlin
:???: I have lived in Hawaii 15 years. My Caucasian daughter-in-law and both of her aged parents were born in Honolulu as were our two grand-sons. ALL of us have birth certificates of American birth. I read that Barack Hussein Obama was born in Waikiki, which is part of Honolulu County, but there is NO HOSPITAL in Waikiki. DOES BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA HAVE A BIRTH CERTIFICATE INDICATING HE IS AMERICAN-BORN AS REQUIRED BY OUR CONSTITUTION? AND HAS HE BEEN AN AMERICAN RESIDENT FOR THE PAST 14 YEARS ALSO AS REQUIRED BY OUR CONSTITUTION?
ashley
Does anyone stop and think about this? We all follow the saying this is One Nation Under GOD. Barack Obama is Muslim he doesn’t follow that. Hell he wont even look at the American flag if he is supposedly a U.S citizen then why wont he back the flag.People come on how do we know he isn’t a inside worker for the terrorist . He is Muslim does anyone want to take the risk of what he may do?

Why doesn’t someone like Drudge look into the “real” birthplace of Obama. Our country is surely headed in the wrong direction if the “polite pc” police (aka our spineless republican party) are afraid of offending the Obama machine. Geoge Soros is surely buying a pres. with this extreme-liberal candidate. Good manners prevent me from saying what I really want to do to these guys. Not only is this country’s entire future at stake here, (along with the rest of the world)this is personal; my own children’s future is at stake. Is anyone out there listening anymore?? Is everyone (both parties & drive-bys) so mezmerized by this anti-christ wannabe- that they can’t/won’t at least look into the real BHO??? and the real truth on this guy. (His wife looks absolutely evil & hate filled).
Thimmappa
There is confusion about where Obama was born. Voters want to be sure that Obama was borm in the U.S. If this is the case, information about the hospital where he was born is needed.
Lorraine Maldonato
IN MY OPINION OBAMA IS A MUSLIM. HE DOESN’T BELIEVE IN GOD, THE AMERICAN FLAG, OR THE BIBLE. IT SEEMS THAT HE HAS LIVED MORE YEARS OUTSIDE OF AMERICA THEN IN AMERICA. EVEN IF HE WAS BORN IN HAWAII DOESN’T MEAN THAT HE HAS AMERICA’S BEST INTEREST AT HEART. I DON’T REALLY THINK SO. I CAN’T HELP TO WONDER IF HE WILL USE THE BIBLE OR THE KORAN TO BE SWORN IN AS PRESIDENT IF HE IS ELECTED.
I SAY THAT WE WILL BE IN DEEP TROUBLE IF HE IS ELECTED.
IT IS VERY POSSIBLE THAT HE IS A PLANT ON A MISSION.
WAKE UP AMERICA.
ann beardsley
I am inclined to agree wih Lorraine – as radical as it may sound.
If there is anyone reading this who lives in Hawaii – would you be willing to stop by the office of records and ask to see his birth certificate- it is public information.
The man has no experience. “Change” is one thing, but you have to have knowledge and experience to make good decisions. I think Obama as president would be an unmitigated disaster – I’m not sure the country would be standing in 4 years to be able to elect someone else.
Betilu
Please let Sean Hannity know about tjis problem pf bho birthdate andplace. He will certainly find the correct answer.
Cindy
It’s not Obama that scares me. It’s the idiots who would vote to put a MUSLIM in the higest office in the land when we are at war with them. I’ll bet Hitler would have loved to be controlling the White House during WWII. Plus, if he’s not a muslin, his name would still be Barry!!!
A vote for Obama is a vote for Osama!
Crack3r
:twisted:
This whole thing about obama is sad. The world does not need another Hitler nor does it need another war monger as to “Mc Cain”
We as a whole should place our votes to whom is best for office neither get my vote. Now on the other hand hillary seems to be head strong and does have alot of back bone Should she get in i do belive we’ll be in good/betta hands.BIRHTPLACE IS NOT EVEN IN PUBLIC RECORD IF IT WAS IT WOULD BE ON THE NET RESEARCH AND FREEDOM BOTH COME AT A PRICE.CONSTITUTION? Well even they can be paid off you know when the blind lead the blind you get TROUBLE! “DONT VOTE FOR OBAMA “ONCE A MUSLIM ALWAYS A MUSLIM.
Victoria
This whole thing about Mr.Obama is very sad. I’m a American Pay taxes have the same Bush/McCain problems as you folks do who are spewing your backwoods opinions about Mr. Obama Some Comments as I read them have a strong racial undertone to them I got to this website by mistake and I’m disturbed by what I’ve read. My son Died at 25 rs old in 2006 serving this country in Kuwait that turned its back on him and me. All I read on this site are words of powerless people. Who when faced with CHANGE . Coward to the FEAR factor, of something as simple as where Mr. Obama was born and the color of his skin not being White Well folks Jesus Christ had skin of a different color than yours also. And surely was not born in the U.S. So therefore you surely dont trust him either. Get educated for crying out loud . Jesus isnt American either. try finding out where Jesus was born. :wink: Look at the shape this country is in now and its been run amuck by old educated/uneducated/backstabbing/cheating men who have white skin. Who brought this nation to its knees in every way possible right down to the destruction of the family to the distruction to the polar bear-oil wars-horrible economy-even the insects are being distroyed. instead of worrying about where Mr. Obama was born stop looking at his skin color first grab a encyclopedia and look at the skin color of all the presidents ever and look at the mess their skin color has gotten us into.
Cindy
In response to Victoria, you make little sense, which reminds me why I’m not a liberal. No one mentioned the color of anyone’s skin, except you, with your obvious hatred of whites. Does this mean that you only half-hate Obama? You are the only one to bring race or sex into it; a typical liberal ploy when you have no argument based in fact.
Yes, Jesus was not American, but on the other hand, he didn’t run for President of the United States, nor did he strap explosives to his chest and detonate in public. And how it must distress you that Jesus was indeed scientifically a Caucasian and He wasn’t a woman!
And before you go calling anyone backwooded, check your punctuation. Your grammar is atrocious.
The last time that I checked the polar bears were still with us. It’s the dinosaurs that have gone, but how…Cro-Magnon SUVs perhaps?
Scott
Oh Victoria, you poor, misguided soul. How it breaks my heart that so many people are falling for Obama and CHANGE.
CHANGE: It’s all he says. It’s all he has. “Change, change, change.” He hasn’t said what that change will be, nor does he say how he will achieve it.
Let’s see who else rose to power with a promise of change. There was Hitler. There was Napoleon. There was Lenin. There was Nero. Even Charlie Manson wanted to change things.
Let’s take a look at what kind of change we can expect. Obama wrote in one of his books: I will stand with the Muslims if the political wind changes. Got your burka and prayer rug ready, Victoria? How’s that for CHANGE?
Now, let’s take a look at who wants change: The only people I’ve met who’ve asked for change were drug addicts and alcoholics asking me for my change, and just look at what they’re going to do with it. They’ll just take a bad situation and perpetuate it.
Don’t even get me started on HOPE! The only people who need HOPE are hopeless people.
Cindy
Obama’s birthplace and eligibilty are the only thing we’re questioning here, Victoria.
Victoria
Just a thought I’d like to share with you folks spewing on this here website. How many time do you get gas. How may gas stations are now owned by someone who’s skin color is different than yours?? Why is that happening. Because the Government is the terrorists best friend you give me some oil and I’ll give you a job in the states so you can keep an eye on your product (gas) and guess what you sleepers. When the doo doo hits the fan all these people who are owning these gas stations have to do is drop a match toss some flames on their own petroleum and guess what half if not more of the OLE US of A will go up in flames . Talk about selling your soul to the devil. Next time you get gas bow down to Abdulah or Akdollah Rahkeem who owns the station that is who Your last president had placed in this country legally to fatten up his pocket while tax paying hard working SANE people suffer and struggle to put food on the table the Good ole boy you nominated into office has done a side-bar and sold the country out to the enemy McCain will do the same and when you also go buy your liquor guess who is buying the State liquor stores here in Ohio (people who’s skin color is different than yours) Yesssserrr Dont get Mad at Mr. Obama get your$5 gas and your Wild Turkey whiskey and get mad at yourself…..because of your fear you know you will soon be an endangered species. Spanish Americans/Africans/Chinese/Japanese/Indians/Iranians are here working living breathing and you are slowing being delt with because of your mishandling of this country that you stole from shore to shore what goes around comes sround..Dont be afraid Suck it up and let somebody of another color come and clean up your mess. You obviously cant handle it But We can (Yes We Can)
The New America You wont like it. so leave and go back to your original country. Oopps sorry You dont have one. So where wher e were you born ? Chinese come from China Okay Ethopians come from Ethiopia Africans come from Africa Mexicans come from Mexico.
Where do you red/white/and blue Americans come from Don’t be troubled Christopher Columbus didnt discover America Folks were already here..sorry How can Brazilians survive without Petroleum they dont rely on oil to survive Sugarcane and Ethanol is how they
survive a nation totally not dependent on oil.. give me a break it can be done.. so this war is for greed and greed only and you bought into it hook line and sinker. so bend over and take it like a true American…and thank all your Presidents /Congressmen/Legislators/politicians/and Corporate terrorists who let any and everybody rape you of your common sense just because their skin color is the same as yours. So be nice to Hakeem when you get your gas cause HE owns this country..Dont worry Mr Obama’s Birthplace worry about all the terrorists who control your gas stations and your oil… :shock: cause when they get the signal Booom Booom all over the place…
Victoria
Who gives a rats fart about punctuation. the truth hurts Cindy. And comment about me half hating Whites. Pleeeez ,,I am White DuH !!
Cindy
Victoria, are you for real? Your obsession with skin color is downright weird.
You are a bigot.
Also, I conclude that due to your elitist attitude and your southern bashing, that you must be a dumb Yankee. I say dumb because you obviously don’t know where a sentence ends or begins.
Scott
Victoria,
I can only conclude from your idiotic posts that you aren’t serious. You can only be here trying to stir the pot.
Anyway, just in case your peripatetic ramblings are for real, I must say that you are liberalism personified. This discussion has been about one man, and you screamed, “Racism!” Then, you maligned two groups of people, whites and Arabs.
Who cares about punctuation? Anyone with a brain, that’s who. It’s a reflection of your intelligence.
Victoria
Cindy
See Comment #10 (who brought up the color issue?) not me sweetie.
I’m getting sick to my stomach even responding.
Good Day to all I’m done with this horrrible site. I got here by mistake but I will depart on purpose. As you so gracefully called me the Dumb Yankee . Well this Dumb Yankee is signing off now. Going to get into my 08 Infinity and take a lunch break. And as far as Mrs Obama looking evil and hate filled. See Comment #11. Thats because you dont know Grace power & Pride when you see it.
What a bunch of loosers.. BE GONE!!!! Talk about the Issues and stop attacking the person if he or she be Catholic or a Muslim what difference does it make. I’m outta here………… :lol:
Scott
Victoria, sweetie, we were discussing the issues until the arrival of our new liberal friend from Ohio. In typical liberal fashion, our Buckeye friend tried to make us duck our heads and dodge her irrelevant statements, and now, seeing that no one is going to fall for her race baiting negative vibes, she’s going to say we’re mean, evil, stupid neocons, and then run away.
Personally, I hate to see you leave. You see, Victoria, that’s one of the differences between conservatives and liberals. We welcome discussion on all points. Because the liberal argument stems from emotions instead of intellect, liberals can only have their discussions with likeminded people. When a differing opinion shows up, someone’s gotta go. See, Victoria, it’s not we “neocons” who are still practicing segregation.
I wish we had a choice of “None of the Above” on the ballot because I don’t have a candidate in this election, so I wish you’d stick around and try to change my point of view. However, I never get any substance from your side; just name-calling, hatred, and maladroit conversations that only go on tangents when they go anywhere at all. Then all of a sudden, I’m left talking to myself because the people whom I’ve met from the other side are cowards and have to run back to their pack when the emotions that fuel their points of view clash with the facts that fuel the view of this side.
In closing, Victoria, congratulations. You finally succeeded in getting us off topic. The only ploy your side has left.
Cindy
Victoria, I did not post comment number 10, and am not responsible for what others post. However, I will answer your question. The difference between Catholics and muslins is that Catholics do no strap bombs on themselves, blow up schools, shoot children in the back as they are running away; nor, do Catholics kill three thousand people whose only crime was to show up for work one day.
Don’t hate. Debate.
MARIO
Obama’s birthplace and the reluctance to publicize his birth certificate is curious, so is some folks’ fascination with skin color. Nonetheless, why someone hasn’t noted the absence or presence of a birth certificate on record in Hawaii is beyond my comprehension. can’t that kind of stuff be virtually retrieved on the internet now? Is Hilary’s staff that incompetent? Or maybe she can’t hire an investigator in Hawaii to look for her?
Personally, I don’t pretend to be particularly enthused about replacing the Commander in Thief with a Senator from what is probably ther crookedest town in America. But I’m a lot more concerned about his apparent Marxism and Michelle’s evient (from College and/or Law School theses) racism, anti-white “victimhood,” apparent hatred of America, etc . . . Are we electing an American version of Mugabe who will turn this country into another Rhodesia, oops, Zimbwabe?
Frankly I can’t understand why any of the leading candidates for the office of Presidentg would want the job, given the state of the econimy, and the serious probability of a depression. Ego and the attraction of virtually unlimited power must be awfully alluring to risk being known for Hilary’s, Obama’s or McCain’s Depression. This is particularly pathetic since the staving off of a depression is probably not something about which government can do anything, except maybe stay out of the picture. But then everything Government touches turns to fecal matter, as Ringo Starr, I think, was reputed to have claimed, albeint in somewhat more graphoc monosyllabic terms. The real problem is that the vast majority of us seem to be convinced, as are, apparently, Hilaery, Obama and John McC., that government can solve all our problems, and unfortunately it’s government that has created most of them, dating back to the late 1800’s at least, certainly to the early years of the 20th Century (like 1913 with the creation of the Federal Reserve and guaranteed permanent inflation?) Or are the three of them really more cynical than they appear on TV?
So far, our biggest mistake as conservatively oriented Americans has been not getting Ron Paul in a position to take the presidential election.
I apolofize for punctuation & spelling errors. I had a minor stroke in January and my reading ability is still somewhat hampered.

BO was born and schooled as a Muslin and his actions and words reflect the brainwashing of Islam. Yet, thousands and thousands of former Muslims have come out of the darkness into the light of Christ. I will give BO the benefit of the doubt until proven wrong. A proclaimed Christian will freely and lovingly “share the Good News of Jesus” (As Presidents Bush have done) and not deny it. A believer will use only the Bible on which to base his life beliefs and on which to swear his oath or allegiance. This means no using the Koran!
OB’s words are empty. His words and actions clearly leave me questioning his truthfulness and reliability.
Mrs. Obama’s writings about the “whiteness” of this country reveal her true heart. Yes, America imported slaves. Yes, a war was fought to free slaves. Yes, blacks AND OTHERS still experience preducice both in America and around the world. Yes, slavery is something of which we can be ashamed, but this has been eradicated. WE HAVE NO SLAVERY IN AMERICA. IT’S OVER! STOP LIVING IN THE PAST – NO ONE IN AMERICAN HAS EXPERIENCED SLAVERY.
This WASP has experienced prejudice and it just ain’t nice. People are born a certain color, race and nationality. That can never change. (Has anyone ever seen a friend’s birth certificate who was born in Nazi Germany? It bears a swastika!)
Any person running for this nation’s top job is a “public figure” and must satisfy her citizens and reveal the truth before the vote is cast. Statements on eligilibility forms must be verified with documentation. If these requirements are satisfied, Amen.
Amazed
The attacks on this blog are laughable! You who judge and accuse someone you don’t know are what religion? To travel outside the US you need a passport, for that you need a birth certificate.
First he is Muslim, then he is godless. I guess godless is bad because he doesn’t care what will happen to him, or maybe he would care more about what happens on this earth.
Catholics don’t kill people? Have you ever looked at history, or a newspaper? Didn’t many people originally come to America to evade persecution from a certain religion.
I like the guy who says who he was arguing with was nothing but a name-caller, then he calls her names. Touche!
I am on the fence-post on this election, and would love to really hear some positive insight and information. None was found on this lowly sight. Have a good night!
Cindy
We were attacked by muslims. And if you haven’t noticed, we are at war. This has nothing to do with religious tolerance.
Look for positive insight within yourself. If you are looking outside yourself, you’ll never find it. Stop confusing opinions with fairness.
Once again, in liberal fashion, if you can’t win an argument on merit, you resort to the old, “Don’t hate.” Oh, and did I forget…â€RACIST!â€

Thomas Righter… You’re WRONG!!! Your hysterical claims against Obama would be similar to me claiming you are an uneducated wife-beat’in, child molesting redneck dipshit…. because you were born in Arkansas! Obama was born in the States, and that makes him eligible to run for our lands highest office. Put that in your corncob pipe and smoke it! Don’t waste your time talk’in politics man… you needs to git u an ejukashun 1st! :idea:
Backstick
Okay, here goes.
I am a 45 year old female w/ 2 children. A son aged 6 and a daughter, 4. I have followed politics very little throughout my life until the birth of my children. I have some pretty solid beliefs.
I have always considered myself to be a fair person. Most people who know me describe me as being extremely non-judgemental.
It bothers me that I simply cannot get past the fact that Barack Obama is a Muslim. But to be honest, I just can’t trust him because of his beliefs.
I think I speak for many of the folks on this board when I say that the Muslim religion scares the hell out of me. We were brought up to respect and value each other; man, woman, or child. Killing is wrong. Our society (basically) demands that everyone behave themselves, respect ourselves and others.
From what I gather, Muslims welcome death and have no respect for life. This is the kind of stuff I don’t understand. Plowing planes into buildings and strapping a mentally challenged girl in a vest of explosives is absolutely unspeakable, but to add insult to injury, they did in the name of their God.
Maybe Mr. Obama doesn’t follow that line of belief. Has anyone ever asked? I realize that like Christianity, there may be factions in the Muslim world. But to me, it’s like being a little bit pregnant. Either you are or you aren’t. Are we so worried about being politically correct that we are willing to risk the lives we value and cherish? You would think that the press would pummel him with questions about this kind of thing.
I don’t care care if Mr. Obama’s skin is pink with polka dots, that’s not an issue. The issue for me is the belief structure he holds. What is his moral code? How deep has anyone looked into his background? I would think that his party would take on that responsibility, but I personally don’t trust them to take care of business.
I do think that if there were skeletons hanging around in his closet, that Hilary Clinton’s group would have been all over him. That being said, Hilary Clinton didn’t get where she is being Little Mary Sunshine.
Isn’t there some sort of a public disclosure policy regarding persons entering the presidential race? I remember hearing about their tax returns and how much money each candidate made, but I don’t remember hearing anything more.
You would think that as much noise that’s being made regarding his citizenship he would have come forward and nipped it in the butt.
I will say that Victoria’s original post was a little baffling. I didn’t read most of the posts completely, but rather skimmed them over. I don’t see anyone having a problem with the color of his skin, just his beliefs. I may have missed something here, but I don’t know of anyone who has turned their back on our soldiers. I personally hate that we are still in Iraq. We went in, took out one crazy bastard. We did what we said we would do, but there’s a little problem of getting out. I want us out. I think we’ve been duped by one of the richest countries in the world. They are using our money and letting our men and women take the risks, while they sit back and say the US isn’t helping us. They aren’t helping themselves and why should they? They’ve got us over a moral barrel. I say tough love. Help yourselves and good luck. Anyway, I don’t think that people are against our soldiers, just against why they are there.
I do have a problem with comparing Mr. Obama with Jesus Christ. I don’t see how in any situation, that would apply. Try finding where Jesus was born? Honey, they didn’t have birth certificates in the US until the early 1900’s and by the way, check the bible to find his lineage and his beliefs, thank you very much. Written down in the most popular book on the planet for everyone to read, nothing to hide……….
Have a great day folks.

well i think the best thing hilary has done for the country waqs to drop out of the race . that means that mcain will win . about husein obama ido not think that there are poeple with no brains to vote him in . i do question his religous belliefs that is the last thing we need is a pres. with the same beliefs as the people we are fighting !!!!! the next problem is does he have militay exsperiance that is one thing i have not heard any thing about .if not i do not feel he has he is qualified to run our military .i just hope america wises up and pull thier heads out of thier butts .COME ON AIMERICA DUMMY UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING FOR OUR FUTURE
Sofia
All I can say…Anyone who votes for Obama should get a Hazmat suit and learn to speak Farsi. What a joke. I hang my head in shame that the American public has fallen for this fraud. He’s a lying, cheating, unqualified, pompous, arrogant poser. I am sad for my country. Very sad. Hillary was robbed of the nomination by a series of voter fraud stunts by the Obama campaign. Yes, that’s a fact. She won but he stole it from her. As Dale says, that’s probably a good thing for McCain. But, fair is fair. Obama ran a dirty campaign and it will come out. And, then, he will set his race back 100 years because it will look like a black man couldn’t win without cheating. And I will be laughing my butt off enjoying a McCain America.

i never hear anything more about so-called birth certificate. Are we just going to give this a pass also, or has it finally been proven one way or the other donna
Cat
This is to Ms Francis,
Mr. Obama or perhaps Dunham has professed but does he posess? I have heard him take Gods word out of context and mock it. He thinks he is God. You must open your eyes and see what God tells you in your heart. The poor will always be with us. Is he a liar and if he is, who is protecting him from having to disclose informnation that we all deserve to know. I want to know if the office of the President is for sale or if we behold to the standards that have made this country great.
Liberal Bruce
I notice we all have a comment on Barack Obama being born in Honolulu, but nobody seems to mention that John McCain was born in Panama. Why is that? I see several comments that Barack Obama must be a Muslim, because his father was, but then accuse him of belonging to a Christian church with the Rev. Wright. We can’t have it both ways.
I believe in God, but do not believe in religion. Religion is just man’s way of trying to explain the unexplainable. Science does the same thing. Whether you take the Christian point of view that God created heaven and earth, or the scientific explanation of the Big Bang, does not seem to have any major differences. If you believe in the Big Bang, then who lit the fuse? God did. If you belive that Adam and Eve were the first man and woman, does it matter if they were created from nothing, or evolved from earlier life forms?
If you believe in one God, the Muslims believe in one God, the Jews believe in one God, might we all be praying to the same God? If you don’t think so, then you must believe there is more than one God.
Can you say we do not need some change? And I don’t mean the kind you rattle in a tin cup! We have experienced the worst leadership in the recent past, with our episode with George Bush. We have a national debt that cannot be repaid, but he sends out rebate checks, to stimulate the screwed up economy.
So, to keep some of the details straight;
9/11 happened on George’s watch, the stock market dropped below 7000 on George’s watch, gas exceeded $4 a gallon on George’s watch, over 4000 of our best young men died on George’s watch. Do you really want 4 more years of similar policies?
Obama may not be the best choice we could make for president, but right now he is the best option.

Every once in a while someone writes something that clearly puts a major issue in perspective, very eloquently stated. Please pass on to your entire email list if you feel the same way
Dear Friends:
My name is Joe Porter. I live in Champaign , Illinois . I’m 46 years old, a born-again Christian, a husband, a father, a small business owner, a veteran, and a homeowner. I don’t consider myself to be either conservative or liberal, and I vote for the person, not Republican or Democrat. I don’t believe there are ‘two Americas ‘ – but that every person in this country can be whomever and what ever they want to be if they’ll just work to get there – and nowhere else on earth can they find such opportunities. I believe our government should help those who are legitimately downtrodden, and should always put the interests of America first.
The purpose of this message is that I’m concerned about the future of this great nation. I’m worried that the silent majority of honest, hard-working, tax-paying people in this country have been passive for too long. Most folks I know choose not to involve themselves in politics. They go about their daily lives, paying their bills, raising their kids, and doing what they can to maintain the good life. They vote and consider doing so to be a sacred trust. They shake their heads at the political pundits and so-called ‘news’, thinking that what they hear is always spun by whomever is reporting it. They can’t understand how elected officials can regularly violate the public trust with pork barrel spending. They don’t want government handouts. They want the government to protect them, not raise their taxes for more government programs.
We are in the unique position in this country of electing our leaders. It’s a privilege to do so. I’ve never found a candidate in any election with whom I agreed on everything. I’ll wager that most of us don’t even agree with our families or spouses 100% of the time. So when I step into that voting booth, I always try to look at the big picture and cast my vote for the man or woman who is best qualified for the job. I’ve hired a lot of people in my lifetime, and essentially that’s what an election is – a hiring process. Who has the credentials? Whom do I want working for me? Whom can I trust to do the job right?
I’m concerned that a growing number of voters in this country simply don’t get it. They are caught up in a fervor they can’t explain, and calling it ‘change’.
Change what?, I ask.
Well, we’re going to change America , they say.
In what way?, I query.
We want someone new and fresh in the White House, they exclaim.
So, someone who’s not a politician?, I press.
Uh, well, no, we just want a lot of stuff changed, so we’re voting for Obama, they state.
So the current system, the system of freedom and democracy that has enabled a man to grow up in this great country, get a fine education, raise incredible amounts of money and dominate the news and win his party’s nomination for the White House – that system’s all wrong?
No, no, that part of the system’s okay – we just need a lot of change.
And so it goes. ‘Change we can believe in.’ Quite frankly, I don’t believe that vague proclamations of change hold any promise for me. In recent months, I’ve been asking virtually everyone I encounter how they’re voting. I live in Illinois , so most folks tell me they’re voting for Barack Obama. But no one can really tell me why – only that he’s going to change a lot of stuff. Change, change, change. I have yet to find one single person who can tell me distinctly and convincingly why this man is qualified to be President and Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful nation on earth – other than the fact that he claims he’s going to implement a lot of change.
We’ve all seen the emails about Obama’s genealogy, his upbringing, his Muslim background, and his church affiliations. Let’s ignore this for a moment. Put it all aside. Then ask yourself, what qualifies this man to be my president? That he’s a brilliant orator and talks about change?
CHANGE WHAT?
Friends, I’ll be forthright with you – I believe the American voters who are supporting Barack Obama don’t have a clue what they’re doing, as evidenced by the fact that not one of them – NOT ONE of them I’ve spoken to can spell out his qualifications. Not even the most liberal media can explain why he should be elected. Political experience? Negligible. Foreign relations? Non-existent. Achievements? Name one. Someone who wants to unite the country? If you haven’t read his wife’s thesis from Princeton , look it up on the web. This is who’s lining up to be our next First Lady? The only thing I can glean from Obama’s constant harping about change is that we’re in for a lot of new taxes.
For me, the choice is clear. I’ve looked carefully at the two leading applicants for the job, and I’ve made my choice.
Here’s a question – where were you five and a half years ago? Around Christmas, 2002. You’ve had five or six birthdays in that time. My son has grown from a sixth grade child to a high school graduate. Five and a half years is a good chunk of time. About 2,000 days. 2,000 nights of sleep. 6, 000 meals, give or take.
John McCain spent that amount of time, from 1967 to 1973, in a North Vietnamese prisoner-of-war camp.
When offered early release, he refused it. He considered this offer to be a public relations stunt by his captors, and insisted that those held longer than he should be released first. Did you get that part? He was offered his freedom, and he turned it down. A regimen of beatings and torture began.
Do you possess such strength of character? Locked in a filthy cell in a foreign country, would you turn down your own freedom in favor of your fellow man? I submit that’s a quality of character that is rarely found, and for me, this singular act defines John McCain.
Unlike several presidential candidates in recent years whose military service is questionable or non-existent, you will not find anyone to denigrate the integrity and moral courage of this man. A graduate of Annapolis , during his Naval service he received the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Purple Heart and Distinguished Flying Cross. His own son is now serving in the Marine Corps in Iraq . Barack Obama is fond of saying ‘We honor John McCain’s service…BUT…’, which to me is condescending and offensive – because what I hear is, ‘Let’s forget this man’s sacrifice for his country and his proven leadership abilities, and talk some more about change.’
I don’t agree with John McCain on everything – but I am utterly convinced that he is qualified to be our next President, and I trust him to do what’s right. I know in my heart that he has the best interests of our country in mind. He doesn’t simply want to be President – he wants to lead America , and there’s a huge difference. Factually, there is simply no comparison between the two candidates. A man of questionable background and motives who prattles on about change can’t hold a candle to a man who has devoted his life in public service to this nation, retiring from the Navy in 1981 and elected to the Senate in 1982.
Perhaps Obama’s supporters are taking a stance between old and new. Maybe they don’t care about McCain’s service or his strength of character, or his unblemished qualifications to be President. Maybe ‘likeability’ is a higher priority for them than ‘trust’. Being a prisoner of war is not what qualifies John McCain to be President of the United States of America – but his demonstrated leadership certainly DOES.
Dear friends, it is time for us to stand. It is time for thinking Americans to say, ‘Enough.’ It is time for people of all parties to stop following the party line. It is time for anyone who wants to keep America first, who wants the right man leading their nation, to start a dialogue with all their friends and neighbors and ask who they’re voting for, and why.
There’s a lot of evil in this world. That should be readily apparent to all of us by now. And when faced with that evil as we are now, I want a man who knows the cost of war on his troops and on his citizens. I want a man who puts my family’s interests before any foreign country.
I want a President who’s qualified to lead.
I want my country back, and I’m voting for John McCain.

Is this true, or just a hoax. I would like to know either way.
http://www.americasright.com/2008/08/obama-sued-in-philadelphia-federal.html
A prominent Philadelphia attorney and Hillary Clinton supporter filed suit this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission. The action seeks an injunction preventing the senator from continuing his candidacy and a court order enjoining the DNC from nominating him next week, all on grounds that Sen. Obama is constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the office of President of the United States.
Philip Berg, the filing attorney, is a former gubernatorial and senatorial candidate, former chair of the Democratic Party in Montgomery (PA) County, former member of the Democratic State Committee, and former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania. According to Berg, he filed the suit–just days before the DNC is to hold its nominating convention in Denver–for the health of the Democratic Party.
“I filed this action at this time,” Berg stated, “to avoid the obvious problems that will occur when the Republican Party raises these issues after Obama is nominated.”.
Berg cited a number of unanswered questions regarding the Illinois senator’s background, and in today’s lawsuit maintained that Sen. Obama is not a natural born U.S. citizen or that, if he ever was, he lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia. Berg also cites what he calls “dual loyalties” due to his citizenship and ties with Kenya and Indonesia.
Even if Sen. Obama can prove his U.S. citizenship, Berg stated, citing the senator’s use of a birth certificate from the state of Hawaii verified as a forgery by three independent document forensic experts, the issue of “multi-citizenship with responsibilities owed to and allegiance to other countries” remains on the table.
In the lawsuit, Berg states that Sen. Obama was born in Kenya, and not in Hawaii as the senator maintains. Before giving birth, according to the lawsuit, Obama’s mother traveled to Kenya with his father but was prevented from flying back to Hawaii because of the late stage of her pregnancy, “apparently a normal restriction to avoid births during a flight.” As Sen. Obama’s own paternal grandmother, half-brother and half-sister have also claimed, Berg maintains that Stanley Ann Dunham–Obama’s mother–gave birth to little Barack in Kenya and subsequently flew to Hawaii to register the birth.
Berg cites inconsistent accounts of Sen. Obama’s birth, including reports that he was born at two separate hospitals–Kapiolani Hospital and Queens Hospital–in Honolulu, as well a profound lack of birthing records for Stanley Ann Dunham, though simple “registry of birth” records for Barack Obama are available in a Hawaiian public records office.
Should Sen. Obama truly have been born in Kenya, Berg writes, the laws on the books at the time of his birth hold that U.S. citizenship may only pass to a child born overseas to a U.S. citizen parent and non-citizen parent if the former was at least 19 years of age. Sen. Obama’s mother was only 18 at the time. Therefore, because U.S. citizenship could not legally be passed on to him, Obama could not be registered as a “natural born” citizen and would therefore be ineligible to seek the presidency pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution.
Moreover, even if Sen. Obama could have somehow been deemed “natural born,” that citizenship was lost in or around 1967 when he and his mother took up residency in Indonesia, where Stanley Ann Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian citizen. Berg also states that he possesses copies of Sen. Obama’s registration to Fransiskus Assisi School In Jakarta, Indonesia which clearly show that he was registered under the name “Barry Soetoro” and his citizenship listed as Indonesian.
The Hawaiian birth certificate, Berg says, is a forgery. In the suit, the attorney states that the birth certificate on record is a forgery, has been identified as such by three independent document forensic experts, and actually belonged to Maya Kasandra Soetoro, Sen. Obama’s half-sister.
“Voters donated money, goods and services to elect a nominee and were defrauded by Sen. Obama’s lies and obfuscations,” Berg stated. “If the DNC officers … had performed one ounce of due diligence we would not find ourselves in this emergency predicament, one week away from making a person the nominee who has lost their citizenship as a child and failed to even perform the basic steps of regaining citizenship as prescribed by constitutional laws.”
“It is unfair to the country,” he continued, “for candidates of either party to become the nominee when there is any question of the ability to serve if elected.”

FYI, John McCain was born in PANAMA not the US of A! Chew on that one for a while.
Obama’s father abandoned him when he was 2 years old and he was raised a Christian… although who cares! Religion is just a way for people to divide themselves.

“FYI, John McCain was born in PANAMA not the US of A! Chew on that one for a while.”
McCain was born in a US military hospital in the Panama Canal Zone where his father was serving in the Navy. That area was then a US-administered and protected territory.
The child of two U.S. citizen parents is automatically a “birthright” U.S. citizen, no matter where in the world the child is born. If only one parent is a U.S. citizen, however, then that parent must show that he or she lived in the U.S. for at least ten years prior to the child’s birth, with at least five of those years after the age of 14.
Had McCain been born in Zambia to a Norwegian mother and an American father, he would have fallen into the second category. But both his parents were American citizens, so he became a “birthright” citizen at birth.

VICTORIA,PLEASE LEARN HOW TO SPELL!! IT’S “DESTROYED” NOT “DISTROYED”. THIS IS EXTREMELY IRRITATING HAVING TO GRADE ADULT COMMENTS IN A FORUM WITH SUCH AN IMPORTANT SUBJECT MATTER. THIS IS GROUND LEVEL BASIC SPELLING!!! THIS IS MORE SCARY THAN ANYTHING. IF YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE A POINT AND BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY, THERE IS A SIMPLE EXPECTATION THAT YOUR POINT BE SPELLED CORRECTLY. I DON’T MEAN TO BE RUDE BUT THINK ABOUT IT. THIS GOES FOR ALL OTHERS AS WELL

I’ve been catching a little of the Second coming of Christ or what is suppose to the Democrat National Convention, and I’m reminded why I could never be a Democrat. They hate this country so much. Every time I’ve had the misfortune of landing on a channel that’s broadcasting it, they are waving the American flag to the most anti-American song ever written, Born in the USA. All they say is, what a great speaker Osama, I mean Obama is…so was Hitler. Hitler was also for CHANGE
joey
A+ JJ is absolutely correct! Thank god that there are others that can see through this guy obama and his tansparent, condescending platform. Obama is the most liberal presence in the US senate by far. This guy clearly is trying to invent himself as he goes along, and it’s easy to see through if you look objectively. That alone shows a lack of character not to mention an insult to the people whom he thinks he is fooling. Take a good look at this guy and listen to what he is trying to sell us. We cannot afford to make any more mistakes as a people who have blindly trusted our so called leaders to date. Imagine what our country would be like if our politicians spent our money as if it were their own? It’s time to clean house with all of the fat rats who are sitting on the tracks and tending only to their own agendas. Out!!! I can’t wait, and i pray it’s not too late. Wise up and take part in the process that you are lucky to be a part of.

:sad: You know I live in Illinois, traveled the world with our military family and feel kindly towards most people, but the statements being delivered that barack Obama has done much for this state is certainly untrue…he ran for Senate stating he would reform the healthcare and help the vets…once elected he started pushing his book, used tax payers money to go the his father’s birthplace (why did he not go sooner?) came hone, pushed his book and started running for President all on others money….to me that is truly a dream come true when you can pass all that off on the blind and unknowing…OH, lets not forget Oprah the Queen backed him so the rest of us should. I have something that I think a lot of American’s forgot and should remember each time you see “our” flag not everyone elses that is paraded around town and the new rules and regulations that are being pushed by our government in charge and that does not mean GWBush as people would blame him if they bought sour milk….but…
Theodoe Roosevelt’s ideas on Immigrants and being and AMERICAN IN 1907:
“iN THE FIRST PLACE, WE SHOULD INSIST THAT IF THE IMMIGRANT WHO COMES HERE IN GOOD FAITH BECOMES AS AMERICAN AND ASSIMILATES HIMSELF TO US, HE SHALL BE TREATED ON AN EXACT EQUALITY WITH EVERYONE ELSE, FOR IT IS AN OUTRAGE TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ANY SUCH MAN BECAUSE OF CREED, OR BIRTHPLACE, OR ORIGIN. BUT THIS IS PREDICATED UPON THE PERSON’S BECOMING IN EVERY FACET AN AMERICAN, AND NOTHING BUT AN AMERICAN…THERE CAN BE NO DIVIDED ALLEGIANCES HERE. aNY MAN WHO SAYS HE IS AN AMERICAN, BUT SOMETHING ELSE ALSO, ISN’T AN AMERICAN AT ALL. wE HAVE ROOM FOR BUT ONE FLAG, THE AMERICAN FLAG….WE HAVE ROOM FOR BUT ONE LANGUAGE HERE, AND THAT IS THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE…AND WE HAVE ROOM FOR BUT ONE SOLE LOYALTY AND THAT IS A LOYALTY TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.” THEODORE ROOSEVELT 1907
BARACK OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN LIKE TO PHRASE ROOSEVELT YET THEY MUST HAVE NEVR READ THIS AS THEY SURE DON’T ABIDE BY IT NOR DOES A LOT OF POLITITIONS OR EVEN AMERICAN’S FOR THAT MATTTER…WHAT HAPPEN TO “OUR AMERICA?”

:shock:
This is the woman who would be first lady?!
Snopes says that the Princeton restriction was true until they lifted the restriction.
According to Snopes.com (visit: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/thesis.asp), Princeton was requested to put a ‘restriction’ on distribution of any copies of the thesis of Michelle Obama (a/k/a/ Michelle laVaughn Robinson) saying it could not be made available until November 5, 2008 but when it was published on a political website they decided they would lift the restriction.
Subj: Thesis – Michele Obama aka Michelle LaVaughn Robinson
OBAMA’S MILITANT RACISM REVEALED
In her senior thesis at Princeton, Michele Obama, the wife of Barack Obama stated that America was a nation founded on crime and hatred’. Moreover, she stated that whites in America were ‘ineradicably racist’. The 1985 thesis, titled ‘Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community’ was written under her maiden name, Michelle LaVaughn Robinson.
Michelle Obama stated in her thesis that to ‘Whites at Princeton , it often seems as if, to them, she will always be Black first…’ However, it was reported by a fellow black classmate, ‘If those ‘Whites at Princeton ‘ really saw Michelle as one who always would ‘be Black first,’ it seems that she gave them that impression’.
Most alarming is Michele Obama’s use of the terms ‘separationist’ and ‘integrationist’ when describing the views of black people.
Mrs. Obama clearly identifies herself with a ‘separationist’ view of race.
‘By actually working with the Black lower class or within their communities as a result of their ideologies, a separationist may better understand the desperation of their situation and feel more hopeless about a resolution as opposed to an integrationist who is ignorant to their plight.’
Obama writes that the path she chose by attending Princeton would likely lead to her ‘further integration and/or assimilation into a white cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; never becoming a full participant.’
Michele Obama clearly has a chip on her shoulder.
Not only does she see separate black and white societies in America , but she elevates black over white in her world.
Here is another passage that is uncomfortable and ominous in meaning:
‘There was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the black community, I am obligated to this community and will utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit the black community first and foremost. ‘
What is Michelle Obama planning to do with her future resources if she’s first lady that will elevate black over white in America ?
The following passage appears to be a call to arms for affirmative action policies that could be the hallmark of an Obama administration.
‘Predominately white universities like Princeton are socially and academically designed to cater to the needs of the white students comprising the bulk of their enrollments.’
The conclusion of her thesis is alarming.
Michelle Obama’s poll of black alumni concludes that other black students at Princeton do not share her obsession with blackness. But rather than celebrate, she is horrified that black alumni identify with our common American culture more than they value the color of their skin. ‘I hoped that these findings would help me conclude that despite the high degree of identification with whites as a result of the educational and occupational path that black Princeton alumni follow, the alumni would still maintain a certain level of identification with the black community. However, these findings do not support this possibility.’
Is it no wonder that most black alumni ignored her racist questionnaire? Only 89 students responded out of 400 who were asked for input.
Michelle Obama does not look into a crowd of Obama supporters and see Americans. She sees black people and white people eternally conflicted with one another.
The thesis provides a trove of Mrs. Obama’s thoughts and world view seen through a race-based prism.
This is a very divisive view for a potential first lady that would do untold damage to race relations in this country in a Barack Obama administration.
Michelle Obama’s intellectually refined racism should give all Americans pause for deep concern.
Now maybe she’s changed, but she sure sounds like someone with an axe to grind with America . Will the press let Michelle get a free pass over her obviously racist comment about American whites?? I am sure that it will.
PS: We paid for her scholarship.

:?: So Backstick…….Are you not going to bring this to anyones attention that may push it out there front and center or are we just going to sit and wring our hands and do nothing to bring this to the attention of the American People…if you paior it…then it was worth giving it to a radio station, tv station Bill O’Riley anyone that can get this out…being from the Southside of Chicago, I already knew how she and her hubby felt and many others do to, but the media is in love and they over look what is important while they try to rake the new Sarah Pilan over the coals and we sit back….they have yet to question anything about the Obamas and he may be our next President if something doesn’t change….God help us all…
