Subscribe to RSSIs "Obama as a Muslim" the new "Birther" question for Republican candidates?
In an interview with Roll Call, GOP candidate Tom Ganley, running against vulnerable Democratic incumbent Betty Sutton in OH-13 (No. 62 in the First Read Field of 64), would not say whether he thinks the president is a Muslim.
He's not, as we keep reiterating. He's a Christian.
He told Roll Call:
“I don’t have a position on whether he’s a Muslim."
The wealthy car dealer "has already loaned his campaign $6.5 million and had $6.7 million in cash as of June 30. As of midsummer, Sutton had $930,000 in the bank," Roll Call writes.
*** UPDATE *** Ganley's campaign points First Read to a follow up posted by the Cleveland Plain-Dealer:
When asked whether he believes Obama is a Muslim, Ganley "said he would prefer not to answer that question, because he felt it was irrelevant to the interview at hand," said Ganley spokeswoman, Meghan Snyder. "For the record, he doesn't believe the president is Muslim."
"I do not believe President Obama's religion has any impact on the need for jobs in Ohio's 13th district," Ganley said in a press statement. "According to the White House, our president is a Christian and I have no reason to believe otherwise."

What a dumb-ass.
And here I thought Iowa harbored some dim-bulbs because of Steven King. (actually, I bet if they asked HIM the same question, he's come up lame, too)
Maybe they need to ask Ohioans if they believe Tom Ganley is a member of the humanoid species.
THANK YOU FR, for stating it plainly that the President is a Christian, though in reality even that shouldn't matter. THANK YOU for standing up against the false balance of lazy journalists who just let people tell lies, giving the impression that somehow the truth is somewhere between an outright lie and verifiable facts. When you compromise between true and false you get--FALSE!
John, I second that. THANK YOU Domenico, Mark, Chuck, Ali and whoever else is responsible for deciding what to put before us on First Read. THANK YOU for nailing this lie to the wall.
One comment on these right wing nitwits...
Send in the clowns.. cause EVERY circus needs one!
Thank you, Tom Ganley, finally a politician who won't open his mouth and wade into a matter that is none of his business. This does not affect his position or race for Congress. Instead of spouting some party line or appealing to his base, he just shuts up. What a novel solution. I live in the Akron, OH area and am in the congressional district. I have known of Tom Ganley for years. He has built one of the most successful auto dealer chains in the country. I would vote for him long before Betty Sutton(D) who is in Congress now. She is just a rubber stamp for the Obama policies. Finally, someone who knows how business works.
Oh, brother. I think I'll just repeat this again. As Mark Twain put it: "Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed."
Unfortunately Jody, you can't cure stupid. More unfortunately if Ganley wins the seat it'll prove that stupid can be contagious.
Jody, how does it feel to be my fool?
John, what do you know about Tom Ganley except a few sentences on a MSNBC website. Who is the stupid person who judges a candidate before knowing what he stands for. Just because he won't say what you want him to.
What do the people know about Ganley,,,,,,,,,He thinks the economy needs fix'd,
A given,,,,,He thinks there is a need to create more jobs, Another given,,,,,He is a Republican,,,,He has NO actual plan to do any of what needs to be done but wants to jump in with both feet. That is the exact reason that jobs are needed and the economy is in the craper in the first place, Republicans who have no idea how to do the job, But want the bribes they can get from corporations, insurance, etc that their fellow Republicans are getting to SCREW the people
Amen Jody, Amen
This is a story???? Really??? Why don't you find out why there's 500,000 jobs that were just lost! Funny, it's election time and you want to say a canidate from Ohio won't answer a stupid question. Heck, here's my opinion, why does 1/5 of the population think Obama is? Sure it wasn't the decisions that Obama has done in the last 20 months. By the way I'm on the 4/5 side, but you guys just light the fire and have the Liberals aka "gas" just engulf it with "Bush's fault" "Repubicans" and whatever the crazies can think of to make them feel better...........
Just look at your post. You bitch about 500,000 lost jobs, then don't want the name Bush to be uttered. ALL the job losses began Jan 20, 2009? Really??
Look- It's precisely BECAUS it's election time that we get bent out of shape when this kind of garbage ("he's a Muslim") DOES get in the way of honest debate and concern.
Talking about today's jobs report makes First Read uncomfortable, Paul.
They want to change the subject...
Wouldn't you...?
Mixbag,
True.....................
Drive-by,
no didn't say that, but the "Summer of Recovery" is a joke..............Obama's stimulus is a joke, promised unemployment won't go over 8%.............It's been 20 months and the deficit is almost 10% of the GDP, that's Obama's fault.......nobody else to blame there......
Paul - exactly how is the deficit effecting you personally? Other than to give you something to blame the President about....what is it doing to you?
".............It's been 20 months and the deficit is almost 10% of the GDP, that's Obama's fault.......nobody else to blame there......"
That 10% reperesents OBAMA'S share, or the TOTAL share?
The deficit made a drastic jump about 1 month after Obama got into office, THAT is definately Obama's fault!! If he hadn't been looking for ways to fix the problems and found where Bush had been hiding literally hundreds of billions of unreported deficit spending we'd of never known about it. As far as 500,000 jobs, Obama has created fasr more than that but the crashed economy he inherited is still losing jobs almost as fast as they can be created, Either way, Jobs are being created and unemployed stats are gradually going down, And Republlicans have fought it tooth and nail all the way, Just think what it wouldd be like if they decided to actually HELP
Bo, thanks for pointing out that Bush's "lower" deficit projections were in large part due to keeping 2 very expensive wars "off budget".
Well Bo, Obama doesn't have a budget. Is there' a budget for this year and next? Like I said before, Stimulus-Joke, Bail outs-Joke, Health Care-Joke, Keep blaming Bush, it doesn't help you and me.
Vermontgirl,
Maybe ask my kids in about 10 years and you will have my answer. It's not about me, it's about my kids.
How's that Summer of Recovery working out for you?
"Paul - exactly how is the deficit effecting you personally?"
Thank goodness for blogs. As wee wouldn`t have much else to do :-)
Get a job!!!
Oops...sorry.
There aren't any.
LOL, there's jobs, but it's below some people or they need an education to get that job. I know if I was getting 99 weeks of free money and by the way you're welcome, maybe a trade school or finish that degree.
Ummm.. Flounder... your ignorance is showing again...
Best you go talk to the nanny.. ooops I mean mother in law... while you b!tch it out with Delta pal!
"LOL, there's jobs, but it's below some people or they need an education to get that job."
OR- move to China, Mexico, or India, where the corporations sent them all to so they could exploit cheap labor, lax regulation and rake in the bucks. Why did you leave out THAT option??
LOL, name calling Fiesty, lol-ok, if it makes you feel better, I'll support you............Ya I can fly my mother-in-law out, what about your daughter, did she get some of that free money??? Does she still have a job or is she moving in the basement? Got to love those unions right? Me first and you to suffer?
Drive-by,
Question for you, what do you do?
Why is this being driven so hard?
Change the subject, like Mixed said? O.K. Marginalize Obama's opponents? That certainly happens here.
But, in an unintentional way, does it actually marginalize Obama?
Obama promised transparency. Yet he passes HCR using every back room trick, giving us a 2,000+ page bill that no one had a chance to read and understand that creates agencies that have to still create the rules that will dramatically effect our lives that will not be fully implemented and understood until after his re-election. Is Obama playing us for fools? Same thing with Finance Reform. This is standard operating procedure. Is Obama playing us for fools? We don't know.
Obama doesn't secure our borders, but brings a suit against a state for trying to enforce the law. ICE arrests 481 illegal aliens from countries that are sponsors of terrorism, or "countries of interest". They let them go - in the US!
What is the deal with Muslims? Why is NASA's role to reach out to Muslims? Why does Obama go around the world talking down America, especially in Muslim countries. After staying out of the mosque mess, why did he come out at the Muslim din-din and announce what everyone took as support for the Muslim mosque? Why the break with Muslim's nemesis, Israel? On and on......
How does this Obama - Muslim? question marginalize Obama?
Americans have lost faith and trust in Obama .................... some cannot even trust what faith he is.
I agree with you, focus on the economy, jobs, and the other mess Obama refuses to take on........Pulling out combat troops is important, by the way Obama does not get credit for that, that deal was done 3 years ago, but some of the blogs just doesn't make sense. The country lost 500,000 more jobs and we get this crap.............maybe if they close their eyes the pain might go away.
There is a black man in the white house..oh my..thank god for the 2nd amend.
Hey Paul,
Well, it looks like the focus is now on vacation. At least no additional damage will be done for a few weeks.
jomama,
You are correct, President Obama is a black man.
I also agree that the second amendment is a good thing. I think it is ridiculous that government (Chicago for example) believes they can reduce the number of victims of violent crime by taking away their means of protection and defense.
Thanks for both of your comments.
Special thanks for jomama's courtesy.
I love how they televised 90% of what was happening in this "backroom" Republicans claim HCR was passed in, Almost as bad as when Republican politicians claimed they were "shut out" of HCR meetings when reporters and the general public was more than welcome to attend,,,,,If they were shut out it was because they locked themselves in their own offices to count the $$ insurance companies were giving them to block or stall the bill!!!!!
As far as pulling out troops, Bush/Cheney promised a lot of things, But in the end they alway's said we would be there indefinately, OBAMA did it:)
If a few are shut out from reality ..............
The current president did nothing more than follow the previous president's plan. And by the way, there are still 50,000 there.
One little thing Obama tried to do on his own, his first action, was to close Gitmo wasn't it. How'd he do on that?
Somebody miss their last few reality check-ups?
BO,
Really? OK, give Obama the credit, maybe it was is grand plan when he voiced is opinion againsn't the surge.............
All I saw during the HC meeting was a door on C-SPAN..........what did you see?
The reason you know about any alleged back room trick is because there is transparency.
Has your 401K balance gone up too?????
Alex
Reagan is a traitor for selling weapons to the Iranians. Talk about your backroom shenanigans
Why are people talking about Obama being a Muslim, Why can't we talk about something useful? Oh, wait. Obama being Muslim is very useful!
Just keep those NON-ISSUES on the front page FR!
What rubbish...its sad that large percentages of Americans are so deliberately ignorant about so much...the birthers...the muslimers...social security receiving teabaggers complaining about social spending...the chickenhawksks who wanted tax cuts and their kids to stay home from their two wars...
...the liberals who would give their grandmother away to vindicate their political shortcomings....
Another Riechwing drooler
Instead of worrying whether a Republican will or won't comment on his religion. I would worry more about the 500,000 people who filed for unemployment this week. The Democrats keep saying the economy is recovering but there are absolutely no signs of it.
does it really matter? This is supposed to be a free country.
I would prefer if we had a Bhuddist President since the only religeous leader that makes any sense in the modern world is the Dalai Lama...
onlymiddleway
What if he worshipped Aqua Buddha?
In that poll that apparently says 20% believe Obama is a muslim, I wonder how many respondents were Muslims.
Hey, MSNBC... this is NOT NEWS !!!
Trying to crucify a candidate over what religion Obama is ???... Once again, this is MSNBC's typical method of demonizing and trying create HATRED when there is none. So, your only alternative is to throw your usual temper tantrum by stomping your feet and crying..... "WHAAAA.... HE WON'T TELL US !!"
The fact is...Over 43% of America is actually unsure what religion (if any) Obama truly is !!!.... and, understandably so.
Obama claims to be a Christian, while daily demonstrating his muslim roots.
The problem stems from Obama's historical track record of deceipt and lack of credibility. As America knows....being "Mr. Honest" is definitely NOT his strong suit !
Obama's list of muslim contacts, appointed administration personell, and repeated demonstration of "humility" and "favoritism" to muslim leaders is overwhelming and misleading.... especially while simulteanously claiming to be a devout Christian.
So, MSNBC.... if you demand HATRED to those who don't trust Obama's claim of being a Christian.... then, you're also demanding HATRED to over 43% of America.
.... and then, you are so naive as to wonder why America considers MSNBC to be the "Worst Media Source in the WORLD !!!" ????
you are a reichwing drooling jackass
jomama, when out of logic just name call. Instead of worrying about what Republicans or independents think. You Democrats should worry more about your own. If you read the polls, less than 50% of Democrats said he was a Christians. Of course, to the far left, Christians are something evil and to be stamped out.
Ray W.
This is a none issue period. It shouldn't matter if he's Christian, Catholic, Muslim, Buddhist or even a Satanist. His religion is a none issue. What is the issue are jobs. There's a Jobs Bill in the Senate that even the Chamber of Commerce has endorsed, but its being stalled. Why is it stalled, Repub obstructionism. They want to wait until after the midterms before they will do anything, and thats just wrong. Its wrong for the American economy to hold something hostage for political gain. There was a time when then Senate was a Body that actually did the people's work. After that traitor Reagan tried to ram Bork down our throats for the Supreme Court, everything changed. As for your commentabout the Far Left and Christians, what about the Far Right and their idiotic beliefs about Jews.
The Senate is the problem, it where good bills go to die.
You go Jomama, show your true colors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!am I aloud to say that?
Ummm... Flounder... I try not to point out spelling errors... but in your case being such a 'know it all' I would think you of all people could spell ALLOWED... lmao
You're welcome!! ;0)
Thank you Fiesty for pointing that out to me. Maybe drinking beer and posting is not a good thing......maybe I should switch to Old Style instead of my Coronas.
American Strength
They must have taken page out Faux New's hand book
The people who were said they thought Obama was a Muslim should have then been asked, "where do you get your news and information from?"
I'll bet 99.99% would have said, "Dumb FUX NEWS".
On the other hand maybe, just maybe, a large majority of that 99.99% of those who think he is a Muslim get that impression from listening to him speak and watching him act.
Look, once again, the President is the only one qualified to say whether he is Muslim. Everybody else is just guessing. Yes, he says he is a Christian, and, yes, we should take him at his word. However, he also said things and articulated positions on certain issues in the campaign that clearly garnered him a lot of votes, perhaps even enough votes to win the election, that he would likely not have gotten had he spoken and acted then as he is now. Many of of those who voted for him based on what they heard him say in the campaign today believe he was insincere when he spoke then since his actions have not conformed to what he enunciated during the campaign.
Somebody has to make an effort to reach out to 1.6 billion Muslims.
They have been demonized for a long time. It is not in the interest of the USA to alienate 1.6 billion potential trading importing customers who have a lot of oil.
Has your 401K balance gone up too?????
So what if he was Muslim? I figured this would come up next, after the President said the Muslims have the right to worship like everybody else in America. This is just another distraction the Republicans are using because they don't really have any new ideas for fixing the mess they created. The want to keep us fearful, fighting and frustrated. They want to relive the past starting back about 2, 000 years. The Jew, Muslims and Christans are from Abraham,they call their God different names, the Christians is the youngest, and act like it is the only one. I hope the American people are not stupid enough and fall for the latest messages of mass distraction.
What a stupid non-issue this is for sure.
If you can't articulate the problems of the country and come up with a reasoned argument, than just call Obama a muslim.
Or, yell Teleprompter, like Hannity still does, or yell "Vacation- this guy is entitled to VACATION??"."
When are the media going to call out the liars? Today Chuckels was totally confused where this is coming from..BULL SH*T if you don't know you should quit your day job and start selling Lucky Dogs on Bourbon Street you jag off.

Who does the right wing blame for Obama-Muslim perception? Obama of course!
August 19, 2010 9:18 pm ET by Fae Jencks
With a new poll out showing that an astounding 18 percent of Americans incorrectly believe that President Obama is Muslim, many in the media wonder who is to blame for generating the rumor. Unsurprisingly, right-wing pundits are quick to shirk responsibility for propagating such a notion, and instead, absurdly, place blame on the President himself. Tonight, the conservative members of Special Report's All Star Panel concluded that they can understand why Americans think Obama is a Muslim given his "affinity for Muslim culture."
Fox News contributors Steve Hayes and Charles Krauthammer, and even Special Report host Bret Baier assign blame for the misconception to President Obama. Krauthammer claimed that "the emphasis Obama placed on Muslim outreach might incline people to conclude that he's not a Christian," while Hayes agreed "absolutely" with host Bret Baier's suggestion that the fact that Obama "has talked openly about his -- the Muslim heritage in his family" has contributed to misconceptions about his religion.
The fact that these right-wing pundits are blaming Obama is astoundingly egregious. If they truly wanted to discover who is to blame for such conspiratorial rumors, the right-wing media need look no further than themselves. In fact, Fox News is in part responsible for launching the notion from fodder in the conservative blogosphere to the mainstream. Had Special Report's All Star Panel turned back the clock a year, they would have discovered that the show aired a segment in June of 2009 which asked of the President, "Islam or Isn't He?"
In addition, blogger and frequent Fox News guest Pamela Geller has tagged 267 blog posts with the phrase "Muslim in the White House." Other conservative figures, including Fox's own Glenn Beck, frequently call Obama's Christianity into question, even claiming that he has "contempt for the Scriptures."
The right-wing media has been pushing the idea that Obama is a Muslim for years. Any attempt by the right-wing media to whitewash their involvement in forwarding the rumor by blaming Obama is simply dishonest.
In my job as a constrution supt. in regards to safety; "Silence is permission" and you call yourself reporters, I think I will puke.
So now NBC tries to create a story about someone who will not say his opinion on something that he can not know. Wow I knew NBC was a hatchet hit man for the liberals but this is silly even in la la land. how can anyone truly know if Obama is a Muslim or not. He certainly acts like he wants to be be I do not believe any one can know for sure. We only know he hates Israel and loves Muslims that is all we know for sure oh and that he went to a church in Chicago for 20 years that seems to hate America. By the way is he not the first president in history not to have found a church to attend as president? Strange very strange this man. Well what ever he is one thing is clear he is the worst president ever in the history of the USA.
You want to talk hatchet men? Howsabout Newsgroup giving 1,000,000.00 to the RGA.
Fair and balanced my a$$!

Obamas celebrate Easter in SE Washington church Inside Allen Chapel AME with the Obamas on Easter
The first family celebrates Easter service at the Southeast D.C. church.
By Eli Saslow and Hamil R. Harris
Washington Post Staff Writers
Monday, April 5, 2010
President Obama made it his goal Sunday to quietly attend an Easter service with his family, planning a secret trip in which he made no public remarks. But presidents don't blend in, especially in neighborhoods plagued by crime and unemployment. A crowd began to form outside Allen Chapel AME Church in Southeast Washington just before 3:30 a.m.
THIS STORY
A guest this church won't forget
Inside Allen Chapel AME with the Obamas on Easter
Obamas attend Easter service in D.C.
First came the men wearing suits and the women in high heels, followed a few hours later by 30 police officers who barricaded nearby roads. Then came the Secret Service, the news helicopters, the city politicians and the bomb-sniffing dogs. By 11:04 a.m., when Obama arrived for his most substantial trip yet to Southeast, hundreds of onlookers lined the streets.
Has your 401K balance gone up too?????
Alex CA
The next thing the right will be screaming at is that the Obama's are at a Black church now. Anything but the issues. Like making Americans work til their 70 or older to protect the Bush Tax cuts, holding up a jobs bill just to score political points
Wade, the 9:45 to Beckistan has left, like I said before you jag off we also like the 2nd amend. Know what I mean dip s^&t.
hey jomama72 : what is amazing to me is that only 18 % believe he is a Muslim. I mean given how he acts and how he hates Israel and how he kisses the ass of every Muslim he meets I can not fathom why anyone would not wonder if he is a Muslim just look at all he has done. Starting with his refusal to find a church in Washington to attend, 20 years in a Chicago Church that for sure thought America was the devil incarnate, and his refusal to call the MUSLIM Extremist or Muslim Terrorist what they are. His bowing to the KING of Saudi Arabia, his attending the Dinner for Muslims to announce he agrees with them on the mosque near ground zero. I mean come on you would have to be pretty brain dead not to at least wonder about this idiot. Like I said I do not care what he is I just know most American now think he is the worst president in history and we will get rid of him in 2012.
Wade
Didn't the Lil Shrub and Darth Cheney do the same thing, bow before their Saudi Masters?
hey jomama72: Wow you must be one of those true Obama Kool Aid Drinkers. A true liberal with the insults and name calling and anger and hate that anyone could or would dare to disagree with you. Well friend most of America disagrees with you lay off the Obama kool-Aid. By the way I am an independent and I do not watch BECK I am not a liberal so I do not need someone else to tell me what to think. Any reasonable man by any reasonable measure would conclude Obama is the worst president in our history. That is not my fault that is his fault if you want to be angry at some one get angry at the man who is causing so much misery for America. Obama. Also try to get some class about yourself.
Tell us what McCain would have done to make things better faster, Wade. And try to remember he would have been dealing with a democratically "controlled" congress.
Any reasonable man by any reasonable measure would be man eneough to answer that question with specifics.
Paul-977599
He would have died from the stress living that tool, Palin in charge. She would have then quit because it would be too tough for her. Leaving the job to Nancy Pelosi, our first female President.
Wade-512031
Obama is the worst president in our history.
Has President Obama's approval rating been 26 percent for an extremely long time??
No Alex, in fact it's NEVER been as low as the 20s, or even the 30s. In fact it's nearly identical to the approval ratings of Reagan, Clinton, and GW Bush early in their first terms.
NBC will never go against the Liberals it is there only means of support no one else watches them. hell I only come here to see how crazy the liberals are and get some laughs. I try to keep them straight when they spout all there lies but wow there are so many lies I do not know where to start some times. I mean so many keep insisting that some how all the hell Obama and the Demos have caused us since 2007 when the Demos took control of the house and senate and Obama the white house in 2008 that some how this is the fault of the people that were not in power instead of the people that were in power the DEMOS. I mean Liberals are just flat out funny except their dangerously brain dead. God help us all if there still in power after Nov.
Wade, you maginificant idjiot, when the dopes of nope GOBP get their ass handed to them come November are ya'all going to start a new party? What will we call it..whoopsabaggers, the dumbassabaggers, the willtakeitbacksomedayabaggers, the wewillstopislamabaggers, will @!$%#themiddleclassabaggers..any thoughts.
hey Paul-977599 : that is another stupid Liberal trick. No one can say what another man would do. He is not there is he! Obama is so all that matters is what Obama has done not what someone else might have done. Obama has a Democrat supper majority and has used it to pass only the things that America clearly said it did not want. The Demos have wasted three trillion dollars in spending that has shown little or no results. He has lied about almost everything, Federal funding for Abortion a lie, Gitmo closing by last year , a lie , Health care bill to lower cost, A lie cost are going up by 20 %,The oil magically disappears in the gulf, A lie, I mean really when has he ever told the truth about anything. Transparency in GOV, a lie, working across party lines, a lie. Letting America read the legislation 72 hours before it is passed, a lie, etc...... at boredom. Obama is the president and he is the worst and most lying president we have ever had. What anyone else would do is irrelevant because we did not give anyone else the chance we gave it to Obama. We wanted hope he gave us despair, we wanted change he gave us Chicago style dirty politics. the man is a disgrace he just robbed the FOOD Stamps program to pay for his cronies the teachers union for voting for him and now after telling the poor you can go hungry I have to pay back the people that voted for me , now we learn that the school districts are not even going to use the money they want to save it for the hard times they see coming. Yea Obama is a real Human being. In La La Land not in the real world where people matter not political pay offs. He touts this Wall Street reform deal that does absolutely nothing but ignores the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack AGAIN that caused this whole mess in 2007 thanks to the DEMOS and Obama, Barmy Franks and Chris Dodd blocking the tightened regulations that McCain and BUSH insisted we needed to prevent the meltdown. So they cause the meltdown to happen and they still refuse to deal with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack. Like I said the worst president ever and the biggest liar.
Any reasonable man by any reasonable measure..........you fail, Wade.
It is hardly a "trick" to ask what the opponent of new policies proposes as an alternative to them.
You have no ideas which have any chance of working to make things better, yet you complain about the efforts of someone who is willing to try to fix the mess we all made.
Wade,
Lets put this in prospective ok. In the 8 yrs Bush was in office, what did he do for the average American or was good for the average American. He came w/ a surplus, and immediately lowered taxes for the richest 2% of Americans form 39% to 35%, thus eliminatiing the surplus. He took a crap on himself when we we're attacked on 911 and immediately started blaming Saddam Hussein. Once some facts we're in, went into Afghanistan to defeat the Taliban and Bin Laden. Taliban out of power, but arranging attacks form Pakistan, Bin Laden still on the loose. Creates the largest beauracy in the Homeland Security Dept in our nation's history. Uses Bin Laden as a boogie to terrify American every chance they got, especially every time their own malfeance came to light. Ignores the intelligence and goes into Iraq. What was the reason again? There were so many, WMD's, to liberate the Iraqi people and so on. The real reason, OIL. While rioting and pillaging is going on right after the "liberation" they only secured the oil fields. The general public is now terrorized on a daily basis for what was becoming a civil war in that country. Mind you neither of these wars are paid for just like the tax cuts weren't paid for. He has backdoor deals w/ Big Pharma and the Insurance companies and we get Medicare Part D rammed down our throats. Did you know, that the Repubs who wrote this monstrosity made it that Medicare can't compete w/ Big Pharma for Drug prices? Thats right it rigged.
Now the Dems take the House and the Senate, Bush becomes a fiscal conservative now. Vetoes SChip, warboarding, a warcrime if you didn't know, outs a covert CIA agent, actually Darth Cheney did that, spies on the American people thru unwarranted wireless wiretaps. Tries and thankfully was unsuccessful to remove the 4th Amendment. Lets not forget the Patriot Act allowing people to be detained indefinitely w/o charges.
Bush's presidency sound more like a dictatorship than anything else. Obama comes naive through I don't know why since he was in the Senate and knows how things work there. Now how to deal w/ Repubs calling their own malfeance a Dem tax hike when it was THEM who had to pushed their tax cuts, remember, unpaid for, through Reconciliation. Your hyprocrisy for your party is incredible. Yes the Dems shouldn't have psuhed through the Healthcare the way they did and have something that actually doesn't reduce costs or make the industry compete for our tax dollars, but the man has only been in office 20 months.
How acn anyone in 20 months undo the damage done over 8 yrs?
hey jomama72 : Look at the polls the only idiots are the ones still supporting this brain dead arrogant lying loser president. As far as Nov. Goes who knows what will happen all we need to have happen is to take the super majority away from the lying thieving Demos and start to get some sanity back into this country and take care of the people that need help the ones looking for work trying to keep there homes and send there kids to school and pay there bills. We do not need any more trillions of dollars going to Banks , wall street , Insurance companies, etc.. we need to help the American worker and Obama has abandoned them completely. I think it is pretty clear that the demos will get there asses handed to them in Nov.
If he's a Christian shouldn't he have been baptized? If so when was he baptized, where was he baptized, and by whom?
And if he was born in HI, wouldn't there be records to prove that too!
He's the Foreign Born Anti Christ!
Mongo,
He WAS Born in HI, There ARE Records to prove it, there are even birth announcements in the paper there for that week for him. You are Officially DEBUNKED!
....
