CNN is running a special on Obama's AFRICAN Heritage.

[QUOTE=HURRICANEBOB;376187]Nope, I don't put words in other people's mouths.

Okay second try.......
A: Cause he supported the values that formed his platform? :eek:[/QUOTE]

AND DONE WITH IT! Wanted to say that first.

[QUOTE=Tom523;375513]That is an interesting aspect! I will have to discuss that with my darker brethren at work on Wednesday.[/QUOTE]

You crack me up....can I come to work with you and watch?

I just want to know why Obama dresses like this when he goes to Africa?

He is quite the chameleon (spelling) isn't he, lol?

Hey Andrew, I'll back you up when ever you'er right. :D As for BHO, he plays the "middle name" card just like certain people play the race card. Noone knows when to play em or fold em. I got no problem saying his middle name. It's the one his moma gave him isn't it? He should be proud of it.

I have no idea where my ancestors came from. All I know is I am a citizen of the greatest country on earth and I would like for it to stay that way. Just like BHO shouldn't apologize for his middle name, he shoudn't apologize to the rest of the world for our greatness.

Then why is he bowing down to the Saudi royalty and he and Hillary running around apologizing to every piece of crap country in the world,especially those that could care less and would kill us all if they could?

Is it not common for a President to wear the traditional clothing and practice traditional gestures.... when he is visiting a foreign country?

I always thought so.


Anyway here's a pic of Bush holding a Saudi Princes hand and if I remember correctly there was also a kiss on the cheek exchanged.

I'm not picking on Bush either, just making a point.

Touche'....can't argue that point but in the same breath he is under intense scrutiny and a pic of him with anything Muslim, Islamic or being wrapped in sheets will get the ire up in people.

Yeah I get that, just wish people would take the blinders off every now and then for the simple things.

I wasn't even going to post anything until I got to reading the tatoo post and people were making judgements based appearence, perception............... and it kind of irked me.

You know what irks me more than people judging on appearances? A president who is sending billions to his "Motherland" while his own country is suffering the worst recession/verge of depression since the Great One in the 20's-30's.
Meanwhile they continue to kiss up to China,outsource our jobs to sweatshop countries and want us to pay for it,That was thanks to the Clinton's,not George Bush.
Please tell me how the Trillions more the savior has spent has improved our economy or current state beyond burying my grandchildren in debt?

See the 401k post on here somewhere.

The markets and financial institutions are now recovering thanks in large part to the spending bill.

Not saying I agree with all the spending but I know it helped and no one really knows what would have happend if nothing was done but I bet it wouldn't have been pretty. JMHO
