Yes, we voted him in. Live with it. We lived with Bush for eight long years and he was no choir boy himself.

Yes that is what bothers me too! As well as not producing college transcripts are his grades really that much worse than Bush's or does it say he is not a American citizen? Did he get into college being a minority from another country?

Yes it was a mistake! One that will correct itself in 2012 if he does not change his ways! America will not make that mistake again. Bet on that!
BTW just because he won does not mean he was the better candidate. He just said FREE a lot and the black population came out and voted for a "historic" occasion! As Geraldine put it! They did not come out and vote in the Brown election against him!

The 2010 elections are going to be a hoot for Palin and her group.

Keep up the insanity guys, you are making the "Right" proud! Keep ranting on Palin, your making her even more famous!
I think there's plenty of Palin bashing, and not just from "the left". Don't worry though, there's plenty of rope left in 2010 and beyond for Palin to hang herself (figuratively, not literally, of course). I have a feeling that she's one of those people who gives life to "pride goeth before the fall". To me, she is a person that's full of hot air and B.S. - these are not qualities of a stable foundation or a long-standing leader.

What won him the election was his race card that was supported by 98% of the black Americans. Add to that the weak minded youth around my age that were too ignorant to see through his well scripted public speaking. Regardless though, wasn't this thread about the Senator in Mass. and Sarah Palin?

Very true. What I don't understand is if "he has nothing to hide" then why not show the birth certificate?? He also made a comment that he would be known by those he surrounds himself with. Well, it's very interesting with just "what" he has surrounded himself with, and the "transparency" talk -- does that include "behind closed doors?"

You have described every politician with that statement.

Add that to the long long long list of broken promises of "Change" he promised. Change has happened alright...and America is waking up and realizing how much of a liar this man is.

That certainly wouldn't be a bad thing to do.

What people don't grasp is that in the event that Obama is in fact not an American born, all the laws and bills he has signed will be null and void.

If he isn't whom he claims, in time it will be be found out. It would be no big deal if his papers are in order for him to show them.

For this reason, if he isn't American born he will never show his birth certificate.

I really haven't spent much time thinking about this, but it's kind of amazing that although our constitution has certain requirements for presidential qualifications, apparently there isn't anyone that regulates this.

In other words, you don't go down to the dmv and show your birth certificate like you do for your drivers license.
