In the old days it was trust no one over 30, now they revere the government of old white men lead by their savior, the Usurper, a man who's murky past is deemed to be no one's business.<br />These pleas for "civility" and "respect" are laughable. Politicians on both sides are guilty of treason for allowing a non natural born Citizen to occupy the White House (his father was never a citizen). Now they seek to cover their crime, and they are helped by a fawning willfully blind, and intellectually dishonest media. <br />Scholars of Law (Althouse, Volokh, Turley, et al) also ignore this grave invasion into the lockbox of the Constitution, and will also be judged harshly by history when the crime breaks loose from the propaganda wall of silence and Alinskyan ridicule.<br />What is your definition of natural born Citizen professor?

But so far all I can see is that he delegated the creation of his stimulus bill to Congress (and so it wound up stimulating absolutely nothing), he delegated the creation of "Obamacare" to Congress (and it's a disaster), he has hardly met with congressional leaders from either party except for photo-ops, and so far his first couple years in office have been little more than junkets and golf games sandwiched between yet another speech on TV.Big Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15831645119853118904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-2733514315907839392010-12-23T20:13:42.121-06:002010-12-23T20:13:42.121-06:00With all due respect to our wonder boy president, ...With all due respect to our wonder boy president, it took him almost two years and a big defeat in the mid-term elections to figure out that his beloved tax hikes would hurt the economy.<br /><br />And if DADT and the 911 responders bills were so f-ing important to Obama and the Dems, why did they wait like a bunch of cowards til the lame duck to sign the bills and then quickly sneak out of town?I'm Full of Souphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00241724007440718575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-61531219198565448102010-12-23T20:09:17.989-06:002010-12-23T20:09:17.989-06:00Big Mike and Eric?
