I agree. At first I even thought, wow! But then began to do the research and went...wait a minute, this is nothing like reality I''m seeing here!

I thougt wow, 830 bills sponsored! And then when you look, for seven years, he never passed a piece of legislation, until the last year of his term when all the bills were handed to him to write that other politicians had worked on for years. They promoted him like some kind of legislative whiz kid!

And then, as a US senator, he named a post office, and got legislation passed to support efforts in the Congo!

Where''s all this wonderful stuff he was supposed to have done that qualifies him to be our president?

did anyone notice Barry fluff off a guy in PA for a photo op. Barry became agitated and said he didnt want to because the guy interupted Barry when he was talking with some children. He then caught himself and stopped. There was no children. I think he realized that the media would surely hit him for lying on that one. I still think if mr everyday man asking for the photo was Barrys color he would have stopped and taken it.

Im curious when was the last time Barry visited anywhere that had bullets flying?

Hey, maybe Obama(Barry) will come out and say his plane had to do a corkscrew landing on a airfield in Kenya, and he and his family and Sinbad had to run for cover from sniper fire.....

You got that hinnis! PBS ALWAYS give''s both side''s evenly and you end up knowing where they stand because the interviewer get''s into both side''s equally tough.I just wish everyone used the same way of thinking as they do.Our country might come out better if we vetted all of them as tough. Hell, it might make the process go faster.

rowdytexan: I know what you mean. My theory of why so many Obama supporters refuse to recognize any flaws in their candidate is that they began to admire him in the beginning when they knew almost nothing about him. All they really knew is that he comes across very genuine and articulate. He spoke of grand (but nonspecific) themes like "change" and "unity" and they believed him. Once they were hooked, it became almost like a first crush. Now, if any information does not comport with their view of Obama, they simply cannot process it. Their first impression is to rationalize it, and if that doesn''t work, then attack the messenger. I don''t, however, blame Obama supporters as much as I blame him. He knew from the start that he was perpetrating a hoax on the American public, and for that, I cannot forgive him.
