Obama's brother doesn't believe they have the same father.

As a matter of fact, he was one of the few trying to warn us and call for changes.

It was big government policies and spending that caused the economic crash.

Barney Frank was more responsible than Bush by a ton.

Frank haunted by stance on Fannie, Freddie - The Boston Globe

Except that Barney Frank was a minority member on that house committee, because Pubs controlled the House at that time. Nothing got out of that committee that wasn't GOP legislation/regulation. And then when it got to the floor, it required votes of the GOP majority to pass it.

So, try again.

I realize that Frank is an arrogant little jerk and easy to dislike. But he didn't single-handedly strongarm the GOP into any policies.

Brilliant.
I blame Bush for what Bush did. Like two failed wars and the worst economy in three generations.

You?

I don't blame either party, I blame both. How you can think one party is better than the other is beyond belief. Our government is a mess for way too long and it's not going to change.

Two failed wars?? I remember when Obama withdrew our troops from Iraq and announced that the country was stable. Now that we are seeing Iraq Part II, not to mention being involved in Yemen, Libya and technically in Syria arming rebels, do you think that these "wars" are free?? If Afghanistan is a failed war, why does Obama withdraw all our troops? Why did he wait almost a year beyond the cut off date waiting to get the SOFA signed off? That was an opportunity to completely withdraw from Afghanistan but he choose to wait.

So, explain to me where the $12 trillion went that Obama spent?? And please.................don't tell me it all went on "cleaning up after Bush".

Did any other Presidents have a bio on their book jackets for 15 years that claimed they were born in Kenya?

I also have some suspicions that the White House dog may not be a pure bred ! Why has there been no one checking into this possibility ? Some sort of cover up ? Poodlegate !

Makes about as much sense as someone worrying about Obama's Brother.

the bio was in a literary agency's promotional booklet, not on a book jacket.

mariam goderich has admitted the error was on her part ( the same booklet got the year wrong that tip o'neal became speaker of the house ).

So what if it's true? There a lot of people walking around who think one man is their father when in reality another was their sperm donor.

the kenyan daily post covers joel gibert's interview with malik obama:

DAILY POST: SHOCK: OBAMA’s family now disowns him! His mother slept with this man to sire him.

what i found interesting was that malik mistakenly refers to frank marshall davis as the POTUS's "step father" and the daily post repeats this error. i'll be curious to see if this makes it way into the birther mythology.
