   What more could this Goolsbee character do? They can’t destroy a whole lot more. Their end-run regulatory and court strategies are well under way. The financial markets and energy industries are wrecked. Hard to imagine what this guy would spend his time on.

   I’d like to see him personally answer the following:

   According to your original, initial birth certificate, at which hospital were you born, and who is listed as your father?

   Second, given that the Founders read and referenced the works of Emmerich de Vattel, who wrote that
   

   “natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens“

   how is it that you consider yourself eligible to hold the office of President?

   So, what are you trying to hide by not disclosing the truth and releasing your original, initial birth certificate from the State of Hawaii?

   Mr. (p)Resident,

   You pride yourself on understanding the Muslim world better than any President in our lifetime.

   Please explain to us what it means to the Muslim world when a person recites the Shahada in Arabic.

   And then, please explain why you did so.

   Did you intend to make public to the Muslim that you “took shahada”, while simultaneously telling non-Muslims that you are a Christian?

   If you are not a Muslim, then why did you publicly confess the Muslim confession of faith?

   Are you telling the Muslim world now that you didn’t really mean it when you recited the shahada in Arabic?

   Aren’t you concerned that the Muslim world will consider you an apostate?

    Fearless Leaders quote of the day,“Progress has been painfully slow”
    Thats right Zippy, slow to diminish our Constitutional Republic to Third World Status, slow to intimidate the vast majority of people who believe in our Constitutional Republic. Slow to further erode the Freedom of Speech granted to us by that Constution and slow, as well, to further take away Second Amendment rights. Yep Zippy, you are slow and getting slower and come November a dead stop against a brick wall.

    Re. economic recovery: “Progress has been painfully slow.”

    Au contraire, President “Stone Free.” When it comes to increasing the unemployment rate, racking up the national debt, alienating our allies, emboldening our enemies and in general making sure that our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will never know the American Dream as their forebears understood it, progress has been amazingly rapid.

    Reporter asks O about Americans’ negative view of his handling of the economy. Gets “I inherited it” talking points in response.

    Remember the TV commercial in which a reporter interviews a black quarterback after his disastrous performance in a game? Every answer to every question was to shift blame onto others; for example,

    “Do you think your six fumbles contributed to the loss?”

    “Not if somebody else would’ve picked them up.”

    Finally in exasperation the interviewer asks’ “What about ‘There’s no ‘I’ in ‘team’?” — and gets the reply, “Ain’t no ‘we,’ either.”

    That’s the kind of boy-man we have as president right now.

    Mr. (p)Resident,

    You have said that you are a Christian.

    Do you confess, or deny, that “Jesus Christ is Lord”?

    I know that this has nothing to do with your eligibility to hold the office of President, but it has everything to do with your honesty, integrity, and salvation.

    And, given recent developments, Americans are keenly interested in whether the man serving as President is a Christian or a Muslim.

    You have publicly confessed the Muslim confession of faith, but have not publicly confessed “Jesus is Lord”. There is legitmate reason to question where you truly stand.

    I can’t listen to the man anymore. He is totally out of touch. Does he really believe the drivel he spouts? He CANNOT answer simple questions without reframing the question, giving us HIS history lesson, making the past seem worse than it was, and making nonsensical claims about “jobs saved!”

    The longer he stays in office, the more he becomes a threat to freedom and liberty.

    It has finally become clear to many Americans that his governing style, “My way, or the highway,” is not what our founding fathers had in mind.

    The voters must hamstring him this November, by voting out his radical progressive support base, then begin to clease the news corporations that have been feeding America propaganda intended to keep us divided through race, religion, and class.

    Unemployment rates – Clinton v. Bush v. Obama

    Slightly edited excerpts from two comments to that post:

    Clinton (January 1993 – December 2000)
    Mean: 5.2
    Median: 5.2
    Mode: 5.6

    Bush (January 2001 – December 2008)
    Mean: 5.3
    Median: 5.3
    Mode: 5

    Obama (January 2009 – August 2010)
    Mean: 9.4
    Median: 9.6
    Mode: 9.7

    This is why I think.. shouldn’t most people be shaking their heads when they hear ‘failed policies of the last 8 years’ .. or ‘we dont want to go back to the Bush years’

    Because.. I gotta tell ya.. I made a lot of money during Clinton and Bush years.

    During Obama.. I am broke.

    I would LOVE to go back to the Bush years…

    Since the rumored person is female, I highly suspect that this is a ruse… something to make Obama seem more “manly”, and a distraction from other, far more important, things.

    I share the opinion of the guys at Hillbuzz… I believe that Obama is a gay man and Michelle is his “beard”. For centuries, gay men have married and had a family to disguise their gay behavior.

    I suspect that Obama has had relationships with the male music director at Trinity UCC (shot dead as Obama prepared to run for President), Larry Sinclair, and his “body man” Reggie Love.

    Is an affair with a woman possible? Yes.
