You are nebulous as to how easy it is to create a resume when there is a personality that is needed. Same thing can be said for W, though his credits are more obviously finagled. Shouldn't Mr. Obama be proud to show the world his previous academic work & records instead of having it all declared as private and thus 'sealed' for all intents and purposes? Why all the mystery from someone who presumably shines such a benevolent light in the world?

Why do you support someone so vociferously when all he has delivered on is corporatized healthcare? I don't want to hear that tired cry of "racist", either. Protest voting is rather childish if either candidate is owned.

you may want to read thru this thread again. some of facts that the OP video got wrong.

- there has never been a ban on US citizens traveling to pakistan.

- mercer island high school wasn't a communist school.

- there has never been a requirement for the president of the harvard law revue to be published nor is there evidence that all other revue presidents have been published.

- none of his academic or medical records are "sealed". they are private records and are protected under law.

Obama is a fraud and a failure. The only surprise is anyone would actually try to defend his reputation. I'm sure even this administration was caught off guard by that one. I guess all that preparation for demonstrations calling for an end of his tyranny was in vein. Those FEMA camps will have to wait a bit longer before they can be converted into fully operational gulags.

there is nothing linking stanley ann dunham to malcolm x or any evidence of them ever being in the same area at the same time. unless you believe it was an immaculate conception. if that's the case then you'd have a strong argument for a miracle.


who does that look like?

Obama can prove this theory wrong at any time, but I'd put a few bucks on it. He looks nothing like that guy that was polite enough to pose with them for pics in the airport, while he waited for his luggage. He doesn't look like Frank either.

1960 Stanley Ann Dunham graduated high school and Malcolm X forms the Nation of Islam Temple No.67 in Seattle, did their paths cross?

Bingo! Thanks for turning it right side up!
Obviously you skipped right over my answer/explanation. In your world of work and career, EVERYBODY is equal? There are no "superiors" like your boss or the president of the company, etc.? If that's true, isn't your world kinda like socialism or the dreaded communism?

-No travel ban to Pakistan, congrats.

-Mercer Island High School did have staff that was actively Communist. That directly from staff who worked there at the time. Though not avowedly Communist (and what school would be then), the fact that people aligned with such politics wouldn't spread their beliefs to their students is silly. So, you got that the school was not officially Communist. Congrats.

-While there is no requirement, it is conspicuous that such a man as Obama refuses to share his youthful insight and intelligence to all those whom he excoriates upon on, the great virtue of education and the power of personal experiences, to do so much further good in the world. It is suspicious when a person says one thing, does another and then uses his charisma and influence to deflect honest inquiries into his past, as he is the POTUS, the most powerful publicly-held position in the world. Congrats, anyway- there is no requirement.

-The records are private, sure. Congrats.

Your odd sycophantic dedication to this media-star is strange, but people liked Bush, Jr. too. Like his predecessor and his predecessor before him, I believe he is a manufactured candidate, not a Manchurian one. As for his obvious, admitted, Marxist ties? Well, he couldn't get elected if those were known upfront in 2008, now would he have? If anything, I find the first two presidents of this century, and the last 6 of the previous one, to be a startingly indication of how idiotic America has become and how fraudulent this so-called democracy really is.

Oh, and as a workable political theory, Communism is dead, in its crypt where it belongs and one could only hope that Corporatism follows the same path and quickly. The ACA, though will feed Corporatism, and that is why it is a horrendous policy and detrimental to what it claims to support, which is affordable, personalized, quality health care.

Please show where he has succeeded as President? Exactly what has he done in the past 3-1/2 years where the country is better off now than before he took office? One that I do know is that we are more divided than we have been for a very long time.
Obviously, in your eagerness for the opportunity to attack Obama, you skipped right over my answer regarding what I meant by the word "superior." If you had paused long enough to read it or think about it, you wouldn't have had to waste time typing your response, but.....then that would have also cost you the opportunity to post about Obama. However, for your convenience I've posted a link to my answer.

//www.city-data.com/forum/25386910-post137.html

So is it not part of most conservatives and Republican belief that personal accountability and material success indicate who are the winners and who are the losers? Since when don't you guys believe in a hierarchy in the work place and in your careers? Do you now support the idea of everybody at work and career are equals....sort of like that dreaded word communism? According to, from what I can tell about conservatives, indeed in terms of careers that Romney is superior to me if judged by the standards of material wealth and power which seem to be so dominant in the U.S.. He's most likely superior to you in that regard as well. If Romney were elected President, regardless of how I may feel about what he may do as President, I would without doubt, at a personal level, show him respect as the POTUS. (Which is what was being discussed initially when I made this post, whether or not roysoldboy could or would show respect to Obama with Obama being in a superior position as POTUS in terms of careet success).

You asked, What makes Obama superior over anyone? Well, Obama's success is evident by the very fact that he was elected President of the United States, which in terms of career success makes him superior to most of us, if we were never elected as POTUS. That's a fact of career success you can't deny, even if you didn't want him to be elected. The fact is that the majority of people wanted Obama to be President, and being a politician certainly involves winning elections, so I don't see how his election can be regarded as anything other than a success in his career.

As for Obama's "success" during his term in office, well, no need to go there because there are many opinions regarding that issue, and it seems that history will ultimately be the judge of his success as President. that's for the future.

IMO, the contribution of Obama's Presidency to the division of the country is based on the fact that he is of mixed race and visually identified as black. I have no doubt you will disagree. I also attribute the division in this country to the Republican's insistence of no compromise, as well as the extreme hate talk found all over conservative talk radio.
