Barack Obama spoke at the National Archives last Thursday on the war on terror (not that he used that term). After paying tribute to the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, and before turning to a defense of his policies, the President of the United States said:
I stand here today as someone whose own life was made possible by these documents. My father came to our shores in search of the promise that they offered. My mother made me rise before dawn to learn of their truth when I lived as a child in a foreign land. My own American journey was paved by generations of citizens who gave meaning to those simple words--"to form a more perfect union." I have studied the Constitution as a student; I have taught it as a teacher; I have been bound by it as a lawyer and legislator. I took an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution as Commander-in-Chief, and as a citizen, I know that we must never--ever--turn our back on its enduring principles for expedience sake.
Who cares? Who cares about Barack Obama's father, his mother, or his "own American journey"? Is his journey so noteworthy that it needs to be intruded into a presidential speech on weighty matters of constitutional law and public policy, of civil liberties and national security? After all, tens of millions of other Americans have ancestors who came to these shores in search of the promise of a better life. Tens of millions of other Americans have lived in a foreign land--and some of them were presumably awakened early by their mothers.
And so what? Are those Americans who didn't live abroad as youths any less attached to the principles of the Declaration?

Holy Crap, Kristol almost sounded conservative. What a change Obama has wrought!
Big Zero is a narcissist, like most Democrat politicians. Of course everything is about him.
HIs effn father was a marxist opportunist who came to the US, fathered a child, went back to is other wife and tried FU another country.
“My mother made me rise before dawn to learn of their truth when I lived as a child in a foreign land.”
Does anyone believe this?
Anyone?
If not that makes the narcissist a bigger liar than.... Bubba.
That’s Obama: self-referential and self-reverential.
Only the Office of the President bigger than he?
The loon’s mind is so small that it could fit within the quantum cracks of space itself.
“The One” hath spoken.
Only the Office of the President bigger than he?Hubris is not stupidity. Fail to make that distinction at your peril.The loon’s mind is so small that it could fit within the quantum cracks of space itself.
I can't say this enough. Obama may be many things, but stupid is not one of them. He's eviscerating the republican party. Obama is executing a textbook divide and conquer. He's propping up Cheney and Limbaugh and letting them chase out the Spector's and Mccain's of the party. Then he's waiting for the RINO patrol with open arms.
Think about it this way. Obama has been in power for 4 months and he's already wiped the Bush legacy off the map. He's also laid the groundwork to completely redefine American society. Think about it. Obama could make Lenin, Stalin and Mao look positively cautious in comparison. Craziest of all, nobody cares. Or the people that do care think he's stupid.
Obama is *anything* but stupid.

Actually , he stands here today as someone whose own life as President was made possible by ignoring the Constitution.
Obama: “I loves me some me!”
He is too politically saavy to be as naive as he seems, which means that he is instead dangerous.
HIs folks had the only log house in Hawaii, and I heard he threw a Susan B. Anthony across the Potomac.
Two brains actually - one the size of a mustard seed; the other, a really small one.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste, indeed.
“My mother made me rise before dawn to learn of their truth when I lived as a child in a foreign land.”
Does anyone believe this?
No. More likely she gave him the Communist Manifesto and Qran to study.
I have never seen a president look as out of place and out of his league as zero — not matter what setting he’s in.
The Magic Negro
I, myself (not my ancestors), came to these country in search of a better life and I'm more of an American citizen than Zero is! At least I can prove it!
The office of the President did not exist until he discovered it.
Other guys were called presidents.
he rose before dawn because his stepfather was a muslim, living in Indonesia with a population of 250 million muslims. And 4.30 am is the time of the first muslim prayer.
