Then you racists can dance to your hearts content about electing a ditzy blonde to the highest office of your country, plus you get a chance to play with her while she pushes you into your grave.
======================================================
For anyone to possibly say that this was about race needs to reevaluate their thinking. Give me percentages divided by race and I'll tell you who WAS playing the race card.
A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) INA provided the citizen parent was physically present in the U.S. for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child's birth. (For birth on or after November 14, 1986, a period of five years physical presence, two after the age of fourteen is required. For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen are required for physical presence in the U.S. to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.

Wasn't Obama's mom 18?? That would mean only 4 years in US soil after the age of 14... and not 5.
I'm NOT a natural born citizen... I was born in Venezuela and even though my mom declared me a citizen when I was born that does not make me natural born. She was a US citizen and my father was not. She did, however, live in the US 10 years after the age of 14. However,I could NEVER run for President because I am not a natural born citizen. I've debated this issue for many years... but the definition of natural born is not there.
Jimmy Carter had a hell of a lot to deal with picking up after the elephant parade of Nixon and Ford. He may not have been the best, but he was human
======================================================
And Bush isn't? Human, I mean? I didn't care for many of his policies, but he has kept us safe for 8 years. Of course, you LIBBIES won't agree with that, but we haven't had a 9/11 again since. Also, may I remind you that we wouldn't have had a 9/11 if Clinton had taken care of Osama Bin Laden when he had the chance!!! Yes, he let him slip away in 1999. The media likes to hide those kind of facts when it hurts their Libbie presidents.
If it weren't for Carter we wouldn't have had Reagan
I'll wait for the other shoe to drop. Wake me when it's over.
=========================================================
Yeah.... if it weren't for Carter... we wouldn't be having Carter II :)
I'd throw in two suggestions. Abolish the filibuster, so that a bunch of vengeance-prone spoiled-sport Reopublicans do no block Obama's plans - or opt for some nuclear option plan which will circumvent the endless morass that is the US Senate. Secondly, the super rich who brought us the current disaster need to pay for the damage they've inflicted. We need to abolish all the tax breaks that the wealthy have enjoyed these past few years and impose a hefty surtax on the top 2 or 3 %. They need to face the consequences of their irresponsible actions.

I have a better idea: Let's just declare him Dictator and get on with it :)
What gets me is that no one except Berg and some of the others are saying anything about it. Why is the media not touching it with a ten foot pole?
I think the world was rejoicing for a completely different reason than why you were rejoicing :)
Why do you think Hugo Chavez is so happy?? Why is Ahmadinejad?
Scary stuff, if you think about the real reason they are so happy. We will all find out in time... I hope he proves me wrong, but both those idiots don't.
Do you really think Obama is that stupid? He wouldn't dare do anything as dumb as act like the socialist that he is "right now". I mean that would be political suicide and he wants to be re-elected in 2012. The guy ain't stupid... he knows how to sleep with the enemy- I mean look at his friends :)
If I thought it wasn't the case, all I have to do is read more of this garbage bashing Bush and then I get it. Journalism is dead and buried. The MSM elected a president that in my opinion is reminiscent of the election of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. The mere fact that you are trying to elude that he take over as prez before inauguration is an abomination to our constitution and shows immense journalism bias. Also, the MSM is doing it's best to keep the Berg lawsuit in the closet... If indeed there is a cover up there, not only is journalism dead, but so is our constitution...
I hope you "so called" journalists are happy to what you've done to our country.
