Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.

That's correct. It was little jeremiah who said "No guarantee that is really LorenC," suggesting that I might have posted a picture of someone else and claimed it to be me.
An Obama worshiper? I have not idea and dont believe I even inferred that either.
I don't recall. I only tagged you because you posted comments about the photo. So a ping seemed appropriate.
But I will say this. Your photo, which you offered as proof of your manhood, was a stupid mistake.
It was not offered as a proof of my "manhood." It was offered as proof that I was a Barr supporter, after Uncle Chip said that it was a "prefabrication."
I mean really, you are presumably a grown man, though your picture gives the impression of a High Schooler(yes, that is an insult and it going to worse but for including your screed of accusation which I was not a part of.
You resorted to insults in your first post. That's the post that led me to ping you, and you'll notice I didn't bring that up until you denied having said anything (it was a silly insult, and I took it as the joke it was).
You forfeit a presumption of majority age, intellectuall and sentient ability to reason, when you come to a board of anonymity and have to prove you are man and a Bob Barr supporter.
I didn't feel like I had to prove anything until other posters kept accusing me of being an Obama supporter when I'm not. So I rebutted the accusations not only with claims, but with evidence. And I take pride in the fact that I don't hide my opinions behind anonymity, so having falsehoods thrown at me is a pet peeve.
Your picture indicates you are at least out of high school.
I'm 31. Sorry if I don't look wizened with age.
Your argument is further weakened with your Im a lawyer baloney as well.
So my argument about the nature of Constitutional Law is *weakened* by the fact that I'm a lawyer and have actually studied Constitutional Law. I see.
So you should listen to me. You then think you are going to co-opt others time and intellect with your I am superior! You must know that, right? baloney...
But here you are talking to truck drivers, nurses, business owners, etc and we are unwashed and uninformed?
What are you even talking about? Where does this "unwashed and uninformed" stuff come from? The *entire* point of mentioning my Barr support is to rebut repeated accusations that I post what I do out of some political support for Obama. Which is factually untrue. I mention my support for Bob Barr because it not only helps to show that I'm not in Obama's Democratic camp, but also because it illustrates that those who claim that I am are simply resorting to personal slander when they can't respond to my arguments.
You, on the other hand, appear to prefer insults and made-up quotes.
You join the vetter and birther posts only to cast aspersion upon peoples intellect. What, pray tell, do you think our response is going to be?
When have I insulted anyone's intellect? Examples, please. Because I try to make a concerted effort to *not* insult others' intellects like some other anti-Birthers.
Make yourself useful and argue your points. I dont care about your pedigree and have beat guys like you all the time, who think their pedigree made them smarter or better.
This is about more than the photo and my libertarianism with you, isn't it?
You are not even fun. Just another lame egalitarian, self possessed child who finds himself in jeopardy of being just a down right selfish asshole who is 6th grade silly.
Stay classy, Vendome.
Well stated Vendome.
Loren, it’s all part of growing up. You take your hits and either learn from them and become a stronger person and occasionally laugh at yourself, or you become a self-centered bullheaded jerk the likes of Obama.
I hope you have it in you for the earlier and not the latter.
‘Must love Obama’ might be too proper.
Maybe “me like Obama” is more like it !
it looks photoshopped honestly
Look at the shadows under everybodies chin, then look at obama’s face, this photo is not real ...
I actually cannot believe you responded to that post.
Today, that is the case. Yes.
Leaving behind the photo silliness, let me address the topic of the thread.
So we have here a June 2004 article from a Kenyan newspaper about Jack Ryan’s resignation from the U.S. Senate race, which refers to Illinois State Senator and U.S. Senate hopeful Obama as “Kenyan-born.”
Two possible interpretations present themselves:
1) Despite decades of Obama’s efforts to conceal his Kenyan birth, an unknown unbylined reporter for the East African Standard, who somehow knew the *real* truth about obscure Illinois State Senator Barack Obama’s birthplace, dropped that information into a modified AP article about U.S. Senate candidate Jack Ryan; or
2) The unbylined Kenyan reporter made a factual mistake.
A quick application of Occam’s Razor, plus the fact that the unbylined reporter didn’t know how to properly spell “Barack,” tells me which side I’m coming down on.
The hole just wasn’t deep enough for him.
I hope you have it in you for the earlier and not the latter.
Indeed. I've said my peace and I'm moving on.
The guy with the grey slacks has a shadow on the side of his right thigh, 0 has no shadows on his khakis.
Why would they pshop him into this, you think?
Is he posing as an action figure or just to wee, weed up on janja weed, which slowed his ability to pose for the camera?
Frank Marshall Davis, good call.
Uuugh, oh well! ..On a serious/side note, most if not all of us just want the facts minus drama. I complained about it a few weeks ago..something about needing waders to get to the good stuff posted by people who want the prez vetted. I knew it would be fruitless. ;-)
So is my poodle! LOL
