The below-stated address is a short video on Obama's background. Many will say it is rubbish. Why does this story continue to be repeated? Why are there so many lawsuits to have this information released. And more importantly why has Obama taken such a guarded and defensive posture and remained silent? Exactly who is Barack Obama?

HIS background IS VITAL to understanding why he does what he does, and we should have paid more attention to it in 2008.

Your attitude is what got us here. Nobody wanted to know because he as such a nice guy and talked so pretty.

I have read BOTH his autobiographies, researched as best I could the Chicago papers and HIS BACKGROUND is the story, but nobody is interested...isn't that a shame !!!! We elected a man of shadows as President.

Read his books, read about him...then you begin to understand what we have the Supreme Court looking at things he does !!

OR continue as you are...he is counting on you

Who is Barack Obama? Well, he's the President of the United States, silly.

I have heard all of this before. Do not have to actually look at it to see that. The Supreme Court is exercising it right at ruling on issues that have not been covered before. That means that President Obama is making a difference even if the Court knocks down ObamaCare and rules in favor of the Arizona law on immigration. Some of the law on immigration in Arizona sounds like it goes way too far and steps on a power only reserved for the Federal Government.

One thing I will never understand is that when he was running for pres. in 08 his platform was change or change you can believe in. Never once was it said what he planned to change. How can an intelligent person vote for anyone like that . Yes you can say Romney or whom ever are the same but most people never heard of obama before 08. I dont get it and now they want him in again knowing his agenda. He still does not stand for anything. Yes he is a fake.

So, you are fine with wasting about 1/3 of his time as President on the health care bill and using blackmail to get it passed. I mean, just consider the time this man has wasted and for WHAT PURPOSE. NONE

So, you are fine with a President suing a state because they are trying to enforce the federal law ?

AND, not sure what you "heard" but have you read his autobiographies ? Have you researched his days in Chicago ? Are you aware of who his associates were in Chicago ? Are you aware of how close he and Wright were ? Since you say you have heard it all before, BECAUSE THE PRESS DID NOT COVER IT...you must have and still dont care.

Have you ever heard of a President who had his grades in college SEALED ?

So, you are ok with a President that IN THREE SHORT YEARS, has told WHOPPERS, not the little things they say in campaigns and then cannot get done...I mean WHOPPERS......on healthcare...that has many lies in it.....how about the Patriot act ? How about the war on terrorism ? How about the trying of terrorist suspects ? He actually MADE FUN of the previous administrations on many of those things...made jokes. You are ok with all of that ?

So you are just fine with a President who IN THREE YEARS now talks about Romney flip flops and in those short amount of years had just about doubled his position changes...WHILE PRESIDENT. IN SUCH A SHORT TIME.

So you are happy with a President who in the last week was going to spend 8 BILLION dollars of your money on an "experiment" that NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON thought was needed, and then we find out it is only to cover the hidden costs of the healthcare bill and make sure it doesnt come out before the election.

Tell me, in your lifetime, has there ever ever been a President who spent his three years in the WH basically campaigning at every opportunity ?

If you are ok with all of this, then you should worship him !!

I am sure he is a nice guy...and a great speaker, but his many shortcomings are simply stunning but his pretty words overcome all of that for you guys. Got to tell you, you standards are much lower than mine when it comes to the President !

Well, Bucco, you will have your choice in November as to who you vote for President.

I am sure we will be seeing a negative campaign from both Republicans and Democrats here in Florida and the television ads will be overwhelming.

After both sides have their campaign, the voters will decide.

They usually do not let anyone with bad grades into Harvard Law School so I am not at all worried about his sealed grades.

I have not see any radical African-American statements made by Barack Obama. Even if Reverend Wright did mentor Bracak Obama; the teacher is not the student, nor is the student the teacher.

I do not worship any politician. Unless you see Jesus perhaps as a politician. He was kind of an anti-politician, at least, according to some of his biographers.

Obama's flip-flops look like they are maturing to reflect the political realities of working with Congress as well as the many responsibilities a POTUS has. Mitt Romney's flip-flops look like he just wants to be President. He'll flip-flop in the future probably quite a lot more than Obama has if he becomes President.

Please keep your comments from becoming personal to/about another member and stay on the topic.

Thank you.

We can't make this same mistake twice. Voters must demand that Mitt Romney release his tax returns for at least the last ten years immediately. What is he hiding? Why all the off-shore bank accounts? President Obama's college grades probably don't effect the way he governs, but Romney's investments could certainly present a conflict of interest.

I don't care about his grades either, as there's so much more to worry about with this man than his college grades.

But!!; if you don't think money and influence and financial considerations can get someone into Harvard who wouldn't ordinarily make the cut, I think that's incredibly naive.

His grades mean ZIP...NOTHING. BUT did you ever wonder WHY ? Many turns in his life as you review it, have shadows like that !

In your note, I notice you did not mention all the ACTIONS taken as president....guess they are not important.

Next item...I suggest you READ about the relationship with Wright...READ his books.

Let me understand something here...it is ok for the President of the United States to tell you he will do something, and NOT do it...that, you call "maturing"...as PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. WOW.....quite a statement. And Romney when he changes is politics....wondering how you could possible make that distinction....that is incredible, especially giving the President a break in what he promised and what he delivered and the WIDE VARIANCE therein...forget flip flopping on foreign policy...he LIED to all of us on so many issues just beginning with Health care and THAT you say is ok.

We are doomed with that kind of attitude. You dont even hold the President accountable..he is simply maturing.... but anyone who opposes him...THEY ARE accountable. Mind boggling

And all day I will be laughing at your statement on "working with congress"...he had to pay off Democrats to get the fiascon Healh bll passed....he has YET to get a budget passed with the Dems controlling congress...OR could there be another reason for that. He has raised eyebrows in the last few weeks with his statements about bypassing congress......and so we go on and folks will defend him totally all the time, not matter what.

I cannot believe the things that are being written about President Obama. According to one poster, if you do not agree with all the misrepresentations in the post, that you must worship the president.

Instead of wasting your time posting on this forum, why not go join the Republican committees in the area and actively do your part to get your candidate elected? You should know that posting anything here is not going to change the minds of anyone else. Take a proactive stance instead of your posts which do not help your cause at all.

I am very active locally, and actually to a degree still active nationally.

Hope that satisfies you, instead of you having anything to discuss.

PS...Anything you find untrue that I post, please feel free to post a rebuttal. Havent see that of you
