Unfortunately, no civilized countries will chastise the middle Eastern countries because of their oil.
;(. I would also like the civilized countries why they won't welcome all of the Muslim "refugees" into their countries? Why are Syria, Greece, Germany, Italy and Sweden doing all of the heavy lifting?
I did like this post. Made a lot of sense to me.

Think Obama is gay is laughable. Quit spreading rumors.
I don't think Pres. Obama is gay. I think probably, deep down, he is ambiguous about his feelings about it but, his party is firmly on that side.

Since I have gay people as close family members, I was all for some kind of civil unions. I also don't think he was wrong to speak as he did if in answer to a question from the press.

Don't you think the article seems a little suspicious? If it is true, then why didn't a sleezy Repub opponent bring it up during the campaign. We already know from Bushs campaign against gays, voter fraud and swift boating that the Repubs would stop at NOTHING to win.

Do these words sound like that came from someone with no respect for anyone else? “Kenya is on the move. Africa is on the move. You are poised to play a bigger role in this world, as the shadows of the past are replaced by the light that you offer an increasingly interconnected world. And in the light of this new day, we have to learn to see ourselves in one another. We have to see that we are connected, our fates are bound together. Because, in the end, we’re all part of one tribe—the human tribe. And no matter who we are, or where we come from, or what we look like, or who we love, or what God we worship, we’re connected. Our fates are bound up with one another.†—President Obama to the Kenyan people: http://go.wh.gov/AfricaTrip

He sounds like a cheap preacher in a church I would avoid except for the fact I was invited to a wedding or something like that.

I would not believe any of it. Your 100% right. If it was true, it would have been all over the media by now, and every Republican out there would be flailing it like a mace. That's not the first time whacked out accusations have been made.

Really GWB campaigned against gays?
"At more than $5 billion a year in humanitarian aid to Africa, President Bush has given more assistance to the continent than any other president. His administration's aid was largely targeted to fight the major global health issues facing the continent, HIV/AIDS and malaria."

"In 2003 Bush founded the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), which guaranteed $15 million to be spent over the course of five years on prevention, treatment and research on HIV/AIDS. Under the Bush administration, the U.S. was also a leader in contributing to the Global Fund on AIDS."

Campaigning against voter fraud is a good thing. Obama weaponized federal agencies to supress the vote in 2012.

Harry Reid admittedly lied about MR to win an election. No legal, ethical consequences from the media or democrats.

Of course if you believe that the voting booth is the only place, program or activity on earth that is sanitized of fraud, you must have voted for obama...twice, worked at shovel ready jobs, kept your doctor and have a 'hands up don't shoot' tee shirt!

So what did Obama stop at?

A DOJ head who lied on a warrant and judge shopped to persecute a journalist and his family, making them an example of what happens to political opponents?

I'm not talking about African gays. I'm talking about the purposeful mission to put anti-gay initiatives for gay American tax-paying citizens in the states as a reaction to San Francisco same sex marriage ceremonies and legalized SSM in Massachusetts. Laura Bush has even stated that she asked her husband not to make gays an issue in the 2004 Election, but he did anyway. Besides that, AIDS in Africa mostly affects heterosexuals, not gays. I really don't care about Africa's situation. We would be better off it it were wiped off the face of the Earth. Bush was very fond of wasting the taxpayers' money

I was referring to Bush's theft of two Pres elections. The first was with the help of his brother, then Gov Jeb Bush who removed released felons and others who lawfully had the right to vote in the election. Then his Secty of State Katherine Harris who squelched all attempts to get it right. Then, of course, the Supreme Court ruling for Bush by partisan vote. By all rights, Scalia and Thomas should have recused themselves since their families stood to gain by a Repub victory. There were voting irregularities in Ohio in 2004, which tilted that state to Bush. Ohio was the state that Bush needed to win since he barely beat Sen Lerch Kerry. There were not enough voting machines in Dem precincts, forcing Dem voters to wait in long lines to vote, in some cases not vote. Repub precincts did not face that same challenge. Then, there was the Diebold scam where the votes were swiped over to Bush by some ingenious software. One of the Diebold personnel testified to this in court.

It's birther garbage. Wayne Madsen has been floating this bathhouse story for years, and like everything else that comes out of a birther's mouth, it's a bunch of nonsense.
