In the External Link there is an article about Obama wanting to charge our veterans (via private health insurance) for care for being wounded on the field. I suggest that the military buy Sombreros from Mexico and issue them to a wounded soldier when the go to the hospital. Maybe then he/she can receive the health care they need that SHOULD be free to them for their sacrifice and service to our country. Sad day when our military is treated worse than illegal

[quote]I see your conspiracy theory and raise you several conspiracy theories about Bush's entire family and their claims to citizenship.[/quote] This is interesting Leauki, apparently congress (Pelosi) went after Bush to get his birth certificate? LINK

[quote]If Obama was born in Kenya, he would not be a citizen, apparently, as not both of his parents were citizens of the US.[/quote] But Leauki, he can be a US citizen just as you can become one too. My wife who is currently a citizen of another country can eventually become a US citizen. Just because she becomes a US citizen does not mean she is eligible to run for POTUS as per the US Constitution. My wife would be eligible to vote and exercise other areas of her n
[quote]I am still surprised that the child of an American woman might not be an American citizen if born outside the country. [/quote] Leauki, by birthright Obama is an American citizen which is different than a Natural Born American Citizen. One allows you to be president the other one well... not so much (according to the constitution as pointed out in Comment #57 by Tova).
[quote]Where if not Hawaii could Barack Obama have been born?[/quote] Apparently you missed my comment (see comment #24) on his Grandmother (from his dad's side) stating that she was there whe Barack II was born to which she had never left her country (Kenya). So the answer to your question is Kenya. I also addressed (in comment #24) the problem with him going to Indonesia as well.
[quote]let alone by the fact that he was born in Hawaii.[/quote] Leauki, this is not a fact and is the focal point of the whole contraversy. Hawaii at that time only gave certificates of live birth but doesn't verify that one was born in that state, which is different from 'birth certificate' which does verify that a person was born in that state. Even though they are called the same these specifics are causing quite the mess. There is also a lack of consiste
I don't see a picture either. It seems as though a picture is supposed to be there when the page initially loads. Then that box disappears.
[quote]Can we not comprehend "recent" history to see what doesn't work?[/quote] American's are known to want to do things bigger and better. I just hope that this collapse is bigger and better (in the negative sense) than the other ones we've seen.
Hey Tova, I have been trying to follow this fairly closely. Some of the points have been addressed but hopefully I can add a bit to the mix. 1.) The law on the books at that time are as Karma said. However this law was later changed (I think 1969ish). This creates some contraversy. 2.) Hawaii as previously mentioned ONLY produces certificate of Live Birth. It is not the same as what most of us recognize as a birth certificate. All th
[quote]?[/quote] Aeortar, is refering to post number 6. Every time you see the phrase "are you" Aeortar is saying to now change it to "you are." I think to make the point that Aeortar is not longer asking the question (are you) but now implying the accuasational form with "you are." Does that help Charles?
I just saw an interesting report on fox. TW, it turns out that the scientist agrees with your theory. So based on this study the little hair I have/had is likely the cause. I remember getting lint there when I only had peach fuzz on my tummy. LINK
[quote]I too have only a car payment. The thing is... i also made sure I could afford it if I got laid off from work. which did happen for a bit... and I am still current on ym payments... didnt fall behind in anything .

My wife and I have enough in our "Emergency" savings account to get us through several months if for some terrible reason are out of work. Thanks to Mr. Ramse
[quote]Hannity calls himself a "patriotic american", yet on his website he has a poll that asks the question "Which reveloution appeals to you the most?" so far "Armed Rebellion" is in the lead, with a "war for secession" in second.

[quote]I'm sick of the self-proclaimed "Patriots" accusing me of being unpatriotic because of my political ideology.[/quote] So really, then the question is which side will be the first to stop throwing stones?
[quote]Most taxpayers will see a small (approx. $13) reduction in income taxes starting in April I beleive, so that is a payment in some form. If I am incorrect on this, anyone can correct me, but I beleive I've got your question covered.[/quote] Yep, one of the biggest April Fool's joke from the Gov't. We are supposed to see $13 extra in our pocket on a weekly basis however, energy taxes (gas, electric, oil, etc) , cap n trade (found in budget), are all gonna to do a lot more d
Having to come back to work! [e digicons]:andrew:[/e] Nah my work is great and I'm happy I still have a job. My wife and I were on our way to town this morning.

It was a good thing my wife was slowing down and not speeding up or else our few inches miss would have changed the start to our day. Then a little while later this car revealed itself as a l
Hmm, maybe he was just a lost ijit looking for a village?
As silly as this may sound.... what about flatulence? Should government control that? There are some flatulence that is toxic!
The spinning and twisting is just getting out of hand. All those who were concerned about Obama's experience are hauntingly seeing their concerns manifested. The man is a socialist.
Viva la revolucion!
Sen Greg, surely knew what he was getting into before accepting. I think this is going to hurt him more than help in the long run.
[quote]Personally I think it would've been better if the government didn't have a bail out in the first place though - let the greedy execs lose their jobs, it's the very least that they deserve.[/quote] What, I agree with Maudlin!? [e digicons]o_O[/e]
I agree that he speaks well however he doesn't answer a direct question. Obama seems to enjoy avoiding answering the question by telling how wonderful his administration is and what they are gonna do. I found it odd that he called his inheritance of over a 1 trillion deficit the result of the previous administration. He VOTED FOR IT!!!!!!!!!! Obama is ALSO responsible for the deficit he 'inherited'.
[quote]Board of Directors is just another ploy to cover up expenditures. Look, stockholders are like voters, they never really get a handle on things--and don't tell me they get what they deserve for their ignorance.

Anyone who invests money in a business runs the risk of losing that money. People invest in a company with the hope that the
