    TR> Low information voters saw BO as `the first black   
    TR> president', and wouldn't look beyond that. They demanded   
    TR> scholastic records of presidential candidates going back   
    TR> many presidential races ago, but they gave this guy a pass   
    TR> when he refused to release his. That raises the strong   
      
    Anybody can demand any records from anybody, few presidential   
    candidates have released their's.   
      
    TR> suspicion that we have the first `affirmative action'   
    TR> president ever elected (to `two' terms, no less!).   
      
    No, Bush was the first Affirmative Action president. He was   
    admitted to grad school as a legacy, which is affirmative   
    action, whether you like it or not.   
      
    TR> Presidents' have had their birth places and records heavily   
    TR> delved into since I can remember, starting with Franklin   
    TR> Roosevelt. No records have ever been covered with the   
    TR> secrecy this guy had. How does an *American* attend one or   
      
    Almost every president's records have had that much secrecy.   
      
    TR> covered with the secrecy this guy had. How does an   
    TR> *American* attend one or more of our university's as a   
    TR> `foreign exchange student', and yet claim to be   
      
    Since that never happened, that's not a problem. Since you have   
    had it explained before, the Fulbright he supposedly got at   
    Occidental College was impossible, it was only for grad   
    students, and Obama was an undergrad.   
      
    TR> This guy was touted as highly educated and highly   
    TR> intelligent. If he was so educated and so smart...why does   
    TR> he need a teleprompter to speak?   
      
    Why did every president and presidential candidate since the   
    teleprompter was invented?   
      
    TR> This guy has poured taxpayer money into so-called `green   
    TR> energy' companies,   
      
    Same ones Bush did, in general.   
      
    TR> doing so. And he's completely shut off much of our access   
    TR> to readily available energy by crippling both the oil AND   
    TR> the coal industry. He's come very close   
      
    The oil and coal industry is sailing along just fine, and making   
    more profit than ever. Oh, and predictions are, as things are   
    going, the US will displace Saudi Arabia in quantity of oil   
    produced.   
      
    TR> to bankrupting the country, has added more to our debt than   
    TR> all the presidents have since George Washington, is about   
    TR> to add even more before he's through.   
      
    George W. Bush added more debt than all the presidents since   
    George Washington. Ronald Reagan tripled the debt added by all   
    presidents since George Washington, according to the right wing   
    Van Mises Institute. Obama has non only not added that much   
    debt, but has a fair way to go before he does.   
      
    Reagan and Bush both inherited national debts going down as   
    percent of GDP, and both sent it soaring.   
      
    TR> impeach, but the Senate will not convict. In foreign   
    TR> affairs he's ruined America, maybe for good and all, in its   
    TR> world standing. He's made us the   
      
    GW Bush ruined America in the world's eyes. Obama is still more   
    respected than Bush. In the arena of world politics, he's   
    probably more respected than any president from Reagan on, other   
    than Clinton.   
      
    OTOH, right now the rest of the world considers the Republicans   
    an international disaster waiting to happen.   
      
    TR> laughing stock of the whole world. He's like a bull in a   
    TR> china shop...backing and lunging, thrusting horns from side   
    TR> to side in its effort to escape, and doing more and more   
    TR> damage every time it moves.   
      
    Mythbusters disproved the myth of the Bull in a China Shop.
