I simply think Barack Obama is total scumbag. Rich or broke, he's still a scumbag. The Rod Blagojevich type of scumbag.

That may be the meaning of "uppity" for you. But being from the south I can tell you that this derogatory term was used only for black people and it had nothing to do with dollars in the bank. Funny, I never hear that word now because of what it implies.

SEALS is an acronym for Sea, Air and Land teams. Maybe you know this, but Obama is Commander-In-Chief. I don't understand why people keep forgetting what that means. He is the one who gave the order, made the decision to capture Bin Laden, and we lost no American lives in the process. I wasn't cheering that day, because I never jump up and down with glee when I hear other people died. War is evil, no matter who dies.

However, when it comes to his opponents, Obama never gets credit for keeping our country safe for all these years, even with idiots like that Florida pastor (at least he calls himself one) who burned the Quran when he knew American lives could be at stake. When did 9/11 happen? Was Obama the President in 2001? Who started 2 wars? Obama? When did over 12 to 15 million illegal immigrants cross the border? Did they all enter the United States after Jan 2009?

"Since 2009, the annual average number of deportations has approached 400,000, according to the Department of Homeland Security. That’s double the annual average during President George W. Bush’s first term and 30 percent higher than the average when he left office."

Gosh, this President can't please anyone, can he?

I believe he over stepped his bounds yesterday by signing an executive order to take complete control our food, water, business , energy which was our power , the power of the people. If Obama wants to close businesses he can , close food stores he can. Shut down water supply , he can , even in peace time.

I don't watch any American news stations. I'm very nonpartisan in this. They all SUCK big time.

I watch CBC, CTV, AJE, BBC. If I watched American stations I would not have a clue of what goes on. I might know what K kardashian had for supper though!!!!!

No respect i have for somone like that, and i do not care who the person is.
His ego is bigger then his head?
Do you have ANY examples of this or are you just talking out of your _ _ _?

Please list the name of the person and how President Obama got even with them?

Actually he has. I think he and Boehner were on the same page for certain things until the tea party shot them down

to think that his election slogan was change, is very scary since we dont know who he is.
what this says about american voters is we like hollywood fictitious people, not real people.
I would need to look at your previous posts to know if you are serious or writing this tongue-in-cheek. If it's the former, then you are obviously one of the many gullible people who read those ridiculous hate emails. There are so many people who have written about knowing the President and attending parties in college. What U.S. President has had to prove he's a real person? Nobody. That's because they were all named Johnson or Kennedy, you know, names everyone felt comfortable pronouncing. Anyone with an IQ over 80 who thinks someone would name her son Barack Hussein Obama so she could sneak him into the country, then pick Hawaii of all places, when she was an American citizen from Kansas....I can't go on because it's so silly.

Yesterday an educated man I know said to me that Obama chose his name the way Mohammed Ali changed his name from Cassius Clay. "Doesn't that prove he's a Muslim?" he asked me. Apparently the real birth certificate that in 2009 the Republican Gov of Hawaii and the Republican Legislature and the hospital and the 2 newspapers with the birth announcements were in this together. However, they all used the name "Barack Hussein Obama, II" so how could his "real" given name be Barry? It's mind boggling.

Jesus Christ could have videotaped Barack Obama's birth in Hawaii and the ridiculous birther idiots would question that too.

Exactly my point. Barack Obama is his given name and he never changed it. He is also a Christian. (not that it matters)

Regarding what the Muslims believe, that's also a bunch of garbage. It's sad that Billy Graham's son needs to spread so much hate when his father was such an admirable man. He's using his last name to get recognition from the religious right. Guess it's working!

By the way, although it isn't true, let's say President Obama was a Muslim at one time. So what? Muslims have died fighting for our country and mothers have buried their sons who prayed in mosques. President Bush always said that the so-called "war on terror" was never an anti-Islamic fight. Anyway, if you are Christian, why does it matter what other people think or say if someone has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? Why does our President need to prove his faith to anyone?

Edit: I want to add that I believe in the separation of church and state. I was born & raised in a Jewish home, so anyone who is telling me the President of the United States has to go to his or her church to be legitimate, is also telling me I have no right to vote or be in a position of leadership.
