Enough of Obama and his claim to be a Devout Christian. That's all BS he is a full fledged MUSLIM. We all know it is OK and recommended by his faith that He can and should Lie to the infadels to achieve his goals. He has never talked about the Christian Faith with the Passion that he talks about the Muslim Faith, the fact is he has never talked about his Christian Faith at all, for a Devout Christian as he claims.
I contend that this man is Muslim, and he Lies to, We The People every time he opens his mouth.
His crap about how the Muslims have played a major roll in the development of this World is more of his BS.
I can't stand all of the BS he gives the people of this Country, My President wouldn't scheme to bring my country to it's knees as he does.
Why Do We Have To Watch This Go On Daily With Our Hands Tied.

We have to do our homework with selecting the right candidates in this upcoming Primary. We also have to help family, friends, neighbors, etc to realize how important it is to know their candidates and to get out there and vote. We can not let people sit back, moan and groan about what is going on and then not get out and vote. Also we have to get people talking help them to realize what is happening to our Country. We want our Country back and we will have to work hard to do that.

DOES ANYONE KNOW OF AN EMAIL ADDRESS THAT WILL ALSO PROVIDE PRIVACY RE: RECIPIENT AND SUBJECT MATTER? ISQUICK DOESN'T HAVE THIS OPTION YET.
Comment by Nancy Russell on January 31, 2010 at 5:55pm
IF YOU ARE USING IXQUICK AND A PAGE APPEARS WITH ALL THE CHOICES, LOOK AT THE END OF EACH CHOICE FOR "PROXY". IF YOU CLICK THIS WORD IT WILL TAKE YOU TO THE PAGE YOU WANT TO SEE AND NO RECORD OF IT IS MADE SO YOU CAN READ IN PRIVATE. IT MAY BE A LITTLE SLOW TO GET THERE BUT IF YOU DON'T WANT PEOPLE RECORDING WHAT YOU'RE RESEARCHING IT'S A GOOD THING.

Tiger Woods vs. Barack Hussein Obama

Bet you can't figure this one out.



I THINK IT IS REMARKABLE THAT THE PRESS CAN FIND EVERY WOMAN THAT TIGER HAS HAD AN AFFAIR WITH IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, COMPLETE WITH PHOTOS, TEXT MESSAGES, RECORDED PHONE CALLS, ETC. THEY KNOW, NOT ONLY THE CAUSE OF THE FAMILY FIGHT, BUT THEY EVEN KNOW, IT WAS A WEDGE FROM HIS GOLF BAG, THAT SHE USED FOR BREAKING OUT THE WINDOWS IN THE ESCALADE. NOT ONLY THAT, THEY KNOW WHICH WEDGE.

THIS IS THE SAME PRESS THAT CANNOT LOCATE OBAMA'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE, PASSPORT OR ANY OF HIS PAPERS WHILE HE WAS IN COLLEGE.

TRULY REMARKABLE!
