You are right he is not a birthier but he is a fatdrugaddictiveracistbuttwipe!

Where were the falsehoods?

Obama's parents were socialists, he did seek out friends and mentors who were racists, radicals, communists and Marxists, and he did have friends that were domestic terrorists, and he did receive scholarships for his prep school and both Harvard and Columbia. so where exactly are the falsehoods?..... and please take your head out the sand before you answer.

He does that just by getting on a bicycle.
or trying to fix the economy...

and by fighting off assorted racist, religious nutjobs, and various uneducated kooks and not to mention the multi-millionaires that control all of their minds with half truths and down right lies about things many of them are not smart enough to check for themselves

All liberals who support Obama have is vileness and hatred, and childish name calling, because they cannot stand on Obama's record.

Exactly. He knows it will get reported, usually by Media Blathers, misrepresented, and tossed about as gospel. He does it to amuse himself. It's so easy to get the collective knickers of the left in a twist.

Ok lets break this down realistically, many people in this country take part in a form of socialism (Va hospital, medicare ect), every progessive person can be considered to be a radical whenever you go against the established norms (ending slavery, civil rights, women having the right to vote ect), anyone who has lived in a "bad neighborhood" knows personally a "domestic terrorist" (gang bangers, drug dealers and truthfully some politicians who deliberately push for bad laws). I don't understand what the deal is with the scholarship thing is but was it illegal?

Now if you really want to be fair go down the list regarding bush's negatives for his 2 terms: Torture which was against the Geneva convention signed by the U.S, Starting a illegal war with a soverign country (don't give that crap about congress said that it was ok either), possibly falsifying military records/not attending required drills ect, ect

/run-on sentence

This post is a perfect example of why I call the American Conservative Movement "The Crazy Train".

But as the Social Security Administration explained (http://mediamatters.org/rd?to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ssa.gov%2Fhistory%2Fssn%2Fg eocard.html - broken link):

Prior to 1972, cards were issued in local Social Security offices around the country and the Area Number [the first three digits of an SSN] represented the State in which the card was issued. This did not necessarily have to be the State where the applicant lived, since a person could apply for their card in any Social Security office. Since 1972, when SSA began assigning SSNs and issuing cards centrally from Baltimore, the area number assigned has been based on the ZIP code in the mailing address provided on the application for the original Social Security card. The applicant's mailing address does not have to be the same as their place of residence. Thus, the Area Number does not necessarily represent the State of residence of the applicant, either prior to 1972 or since.

As the urban legends website Snopes noted, the ZIP code for the Honolulu area, 96814, is very similar to the ZIP code of Danbury, Connecticut, 06814:

Why Barack Obama's Social Security card application might have included a Connecticut mailing address is something of a curiosity, as he had no known connection to that state at the time, but by itself that quirk is no indicator of fraud. The most likely explanation for the discrepancy is a simple clerical or typographical error: the ZIP code in the area of Honolulu where Barack Obama lived is 96814, while the ZIP code for Danbury, Connecticut, is 06814. Since '0' and '9' are similarly shaped numbers and are adjacent on typewriter keyboards, it's not uncommon for handwritten examples to be mistaken for each other, or for one to be mistyped as the other (thereby potentially resulting in a Hawaiian resident's application mistakenly being routed as if it had originated from Connecticut).
