Obama's mom: Not just a girl from Kansas

That picture (which is somewhat cropped here), immediately tells me that she was a good mother.

Based on your logic, one could assume that Bill and Hillary are madly in love based on one picture of them dancing on a beach.

I suspect you are not going to reach that conclusion.

When you look at his background, a few things come to mind. This was the early 60’s when racially mixed marriages were taboo. It is not at all that way today but it was then. It amazes me that people don’t take the era of things into account.

Symbolism? =)

Obama is a Marxist radical with a lot of funding--and from questionable sources--and no real managerial experience to speak of. Isn't that enough?

Its ironic that people in here are getting angry because they say we are trying to say that Obama learned his radicalism at his mama's knee. Everyone seems to agree that Obama is a radical Marxist and it is known that his mother was a radical Marxist. Could it possibly be safe to say he learned it from his mother? Or would that be too politically incorrect?

Oh my God!! Hes smoking a cigarette! How awful! (sarc)

[beckysueb]

OK who is in the 2nd picture?

[beckysueb]

Stanley looks very much like Susan Smith in that photo.

Wonder why it is that liberals mostly had broken homes or dysfunctional families.

Exactly...Plus, you could make a movie about Obama's life story. It's so unbelievable.

Obama is a big time liar. His "deep discussions about race" with his friend never happened and the supposed turning point in his life when he read the Life magazine article about the man bleaching his skin that didn't exist. But it was seared into his memory.

A common afliction with Democrats.

Thats bull. In our local news this past week, there is a woman on trial for the murder of her 6 year old foster child. In all the pictures of this little girl she looked happy. The foster mother got her when she was 3 years old. she was living in hell with the abuse but in every picture she looked happy.

You’re right, Granite.
And it’s going to get worse...much worse.

What do you suppose the record is for consecutive “Removed by moderator” posts? Whatever it is, it’s in jeopardy.

My fondest hope is that "Roots" may start black, white, brown, red, yellow people digging back for their own roots. Man, that would make me feel 90 feet tall. -Alex Haley

Oba Ma Kenobe is about to bring down the ruthless & sickening Clinton dynasty, and I see nothing in his ancestral heritage that would cause me to prefer Hitlery over him as the Dem candidate.

[beckysueb]

IIRC, he left several wives and children.

[beckysueb]

I think that was Obama’s father, the senior Obama who wanted to be in Kenyan politics.

It strikes me as puzzling why, after promising to put the results of the polygraph on the web, WhiteHouse.com refused to do so. They came out and claimed Sinclair had failed the test and that was it. They said they were through with the story and they weren’t going to post the results and basically it wasn’t to be mentioned again.

Most haven't been removed at all.

I do think it is germane that his mom was a commie pinko lunatic who globe-trotted around and couldn’t be bothered to raise her son for 8 years...”

LOL I’ve read it a couple times too and have yet to sort out all the muddle.
