Thanks for exposing your racist views to the rest of us, though.> And the distortion continues.
Originally Posted By Mr X ***If his academic record is so great, why won't he release it?*** Why should he? As someone mentioned above, the simple fact that he graduated with honors indicates a high level of achievement, for what reason should he have to provide any more information than that? Oh, and Editor of the Law Review. Yeah, he was a C student slacker like Bush...definitely. *yawn*

Has Sport Goofy accomplished anything as prestigious as a Master's from Harvard Business School? Why is it okay with you for him to baselessly disparage President Bush, but not okay for a conservative to disparage President Obama? It's always our fault, right?

The commies lost. This is great stuff from you though -- memories of McCarthyism and Jim Crow all in the same thread! Thanks for taking us back 50 years!

I just love your approach Doug. About as subtle as a kick to the groin, you are. Why don't you disparage Obama for actual, real stuff he has screwed up on? That's the part I don't get. It's all out there, and plenty of liberals like myself are none too happy about it and would probably even agree with you. But no. Like your noise machine masters, you engage in this ridiculous stuff like teleprompters and college grades, in some sort of pathetic attempt to somehow prop up your guy Bush after the fact. It's laughable. ***It's always our fault, right?*** Um...I'll have to go with "yes".

And other fellow travelers like you are cheering them on and carrying their water by distorting and denigrating the positions of conservatives.

That said, I do not know why this is an issue. He has a birth certificate. In WA, you also get a certificate of live birth. Does that mean my son is not is not a citizen? Why was I able to use his Certificate of Live birth to obtain a passport for him if it is not proof of citizenship? Here is another link that proves (at least to rational people) that Obama was in fact born in Hawaii. <a href="http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/born_in_the_usa.html" target="_blank">http://www.factcheck.org/elect...usa.html</a>

Originally Posted By Sport Goofy << And yet their fellow travelers are in power, and trying to ruin our economy. >> Another note to Doug -- the economy was ruined before Obama became President. Maybe you missed all the news from the markets last year. Have you been on some sort of vacation out of the country and away from the news media? You'd better check you stock portfolio. There might be some surprises there if you haven't been paying attention.
Originally Posted By DouglasDubh <Why don't you disparage Obama for actual, real stuff he has screwed up on?> I have. It was dismissed, distorted, and denigrated.
Originally Posted By DouglasDubh <Another note to Doug -- the economy was ruined before Obama became President.> Don't blame me. I didn't vote to give the Democrats control of Congress in 2006.
