War President Obombya to collect Peace Prize soon
I really wish he'd collect a bullet between the eyes even sooner...

When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced and his father returned to Kenya. His mother married Lolo Soetoro -- a Muslim -- moving to Jakarta with Obama when he was six years old. Within six months he had learned to speak the Indonesian language. Obama spent "two years in a Muslim school, then two more in a Catholic school" in Jakarta. Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim while admitting that he was once a Muslim, mitigating that damning information by saying that, for two years, he also attended a Catholic school.
Obama's father, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was a radical Muslim who migrated from Kenya to Jakarta, Indonesia. He met Obama's mother, Ann Dunham-a white atheist from Wichita, Kansas-at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Obama, Sr. and Dunham divorced when Barack, Jr. was two.
Obama's spinmeisters are now attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came from his father and that influence was temporary at best.
In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya immediately following the divorce and never again had any direct influence over his son's education.
Dunham married another Muslim, Lolo Soetoro who educated his stepson as a good Muslim by enrolling him in one of Jakarta's Wahabbi schools. Wahabbism is the radical teaching that created the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad on the industrialized world.

But it's what he's going to do is the scary part.. "So Far" He hasn't been in office long enough to do much of anything.., But i guess we should "Get ready for change"So far Obama hasn't done anything substantially different from what McCain would have done.

the reason SANE people are mad at obambi is his cowardice, his inability to stand up to business interests and conservatives [both types] in congress
to throw out the bush doctrine
shut down gitmo, give the terrorists fair trials, give americans the kind of health care the rest of the first world gets, give all loving couples the rights and protections that legal marriage provides
end the freaking war in pipelineistan
but we're not psychic so we don't KNOW all the things that you do
[or the alien robots have not been sending us secret messages]
EDIT
okay, that was a bit of a rant, but i want to rant some more [why let wingnuts have all the fun?]
but i'm sick of the stupidity--MUSLIMS CAN BE PRESIDENT IF THEY WANT TO
[but he's not one, sadly]
and i guess gitmo is closing, but is anyone gonna get a trial? anyone gonna get an apology? is the rule of law ever going to be restored?
you idiots are peeing yourselves over a birth certificate while people are being illegally imprisoned for unending years, while wall street criminals are allowed to get away with it and regular people die because they cannot afford to see a doctor
i know, mccain would be a shade worse, and ron paul would throw away all the babies and bathwater and hilary would have been roughly the same [only the jokes would change]
this country is in seriously bad shape, and the battle to fix it seems to between those who would do nothing and those who would make everything worse . . .
I hope the folks who were cheering his election a while back, hoping he would overturn some of the worst Bush policies, now understand why some of us were so cynical about it. There is no such thing as a good president.Channeling their predecessors in the George W. Bush administration, Obama Justice Department lawyers argued in this case that there is no constitutional right not to be tortured or otherwise abused in a U.S. prison abroad.
actually the biggest disappointment i have with obama and the democrats is their lack of desire to try members of the former administration for war crimes--or to just turn them over to an international tribunalamigo wrote:I've often thought that those who have said that waterboarding is okay -that is- not torture, that they should be more than willing to be subjected to it a few dozen times a day for a year or so -I mean I don't believe what they say, so we should be able to make sure they really mean what they say, right??
