No need to go on. The borders are tighter than they were as evidenced by the slowing down of illegal entry and #2 my state is trying to implement ID laws despite the fact that there`s been ZERO cases of voter fraud prosecuted by our former AG who is now the governor. In fact our top state Republican let the cat out of the bag regarding this farce.It`s the repubs that are trying to take away our freedoms.

Waaaaayyyyy too late for that now. The bar was lowered years ago.

Did he enter the school as a US citizen based upon his grades or as a foreign student? We don't know because his college records have not been released. Who is Barry Soetoro?
So wait. Let me get this straight. Barack Obama used different names in college? And you know this as fact because he hasn't released his college records so you don't know? Wait, What?

Oh, blah blah blah blah that racist carp gets carping old!

Lots of people called Clinton Klinton, Bubba, and other names. I guess we hate white people.

YOU, mexico, are the racist!

I agree that it reflects on the poster, not so much the president. But many presidents are called names.

I will say to the poster above who showed the negativity spewed at Pres. Bush, that the guy on the first pic (of a real guy, not a computer generated thing a ma j ig)and the guy on the last pic are the same guy! I guess they couldn't find more than one loony bin in the crowd. Everyone else's signs in the crowd reference not buying oil or getting out of Iraq.

Both sides do it, and neither should. I don't engage in it, and never have. I think it shows a general lack of maturity and cheapens the discussion.

Lefties had plenty of ugliness for GW Bush, and the name calling goes back much farther than that. Each side seems to think their insults are justified.

It's disappointing, but that's the state of things.

I am, however, EXTREMELY offended by people who use degrading names for the First Lady. (Moooo-shell, Sasquatch, etc). Absolutely despicable.
