(Incomplete) Obama Bio

Recommended Posts

folks are beginning to realize what - not who - is in the white house.



Sad, but all of this (except the czar bit) was known last year this time. I guess all that crap about "but he's gonna govern from the center" has pretty much disappeared.
The forecast is mostly sunny with occasional beer.

I started listening to this last night before I headed off ... the part that gave me a chuckle was the sensationalistic way Pres Obama's parents meeting in a Russian class was portrayed. Anyone who worked/works in national security or international affairs in the last 40 years knows folks who met in Russia classes and married. I know of at least 5 or 6 couples that met and married while doing Soviet studies ... and I'm post-Soviet. If I surveyed colleagues, suspect a whole bunch more would be found.

I also know a bunch of couples who met & married while pursuing degrees in chemistry - what does that make them? (Other than perhaps nerds. :D) Meeting one's spouse while pursuing similar professional or personal interests is not novel.

They weren't working in national security or international affairs, but they did want to know how to speak Russian.

But while we're on the subject of communists, I'd love to hear your views on Van Jones.

So now your smear tactic is to go after the man's dead parents over what they did before he was even born. You really have no shame.

Smear tactics? Gimme a break. Facts are facts. You can make of them what you want, but they are facts.

I do not use smear tactics. I don't need to. I have facts.;)

G. W. Bush's grandfather was a Nazi supporter. Does that mean G.W. is a Nazi?

You are just being more ridiculous than usual.

OK, his poor old moderate dad and mom were smeared for learning Russian. The real question is, did any of you BHO fans get a thrill up your leg watching this? Please don't tell me Chris Matthews is the only one.

As a matter of fact, my leg does sort of feel....

Is that your hand?? Ew!
Not mine, but maybe Chris Matthews. It it's limp, it's probably Chris.:)
