Here is a really astounding example of the failures of the American educational system.

And this was a white American, one who was not even aware of what happened at Pearl Harbor, less than 70 years ago:

"My trip to Asia begins here in Japan for an important reason. It begins here because for a century and a half now, America and Japan have formed one of the great and enduring alliances of modern times. From that alliance has come an era of peace in the Pacific."
- George Idiot Bush

OBAMA TIES TO HAMAS

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency today reports that the Wright, Jr., long-time pastor of Obama, published an op-ed piece signed by a Hamas leader. The item appeared in the July 22, 2007 edition of his Trinity United Church newspaper on the "Pastor''''s Page." Justifies attacks on Israeli civilians, and carries a supporting introduction by Mr. Wright.

Obama issued a statement strongly condemning these views of his pastor. "I certainly wasnt in church when that outrageously wrong [Hamas] piece was re-printed in the bulletin.


Obama is a long-time member of Trinity United, and his financial contributions to his church are reported to be substantial ("All told, the [Obama] couple gave $27,500 to [Trinity United] in 2005 and 2006," according to the New York Times of March 26). His moral support to the church has been unwavering. As more and more and more details of the extremist political positions of the church are revealed, Obamas response has been to distance himself from these, but also to repeat, over and over, that he didn''''t know, that he wasn''''t there.

I find it very difficult to believe that an intelligent, energetic, and very political man like Obama is perpetually ignorant about what goes on in the church to which he devotes so many of his resources. If he does get to the White House....

Those are pretty sad statistics, and they are just the young Americans.

I''d be willing to bet that the numbers for adults are a lot worse.

That is from a 5 year old e-mail that was disputed by snopes.com. Letterman never made that top ten list, and it''s nothing more than a joke e-mail.

"Half of young Americans can"t find New York on a map.

Only 37% of young Americans can find Iraq on a map - though U.S. troops have been there since 2003.

6 in 10 young Americans don''t speak a foreign language fluently.

20% of young Americans think Sudan is in Asia. (It"s the largest country [largest in area] in Africa.)

48% of young Americans believe the majority population in India is Muslim. (It''s Hindu - by a landslide.)"

i never heard any complaints about 2 black guys portraying 2 white girls in a comedy movie released for the world to see. where was an article like this when that movied debuted (white chicks).oh yeah , i forgot if you are black that kind of comedy is ok, and nobody complained. meanwhile if your white and do the same style comedy, it''''s rascist, interesting....

You''re comparing a comedy, to a real life racist spoof?

What are you - 10 years old?

"Most that refer to themselves as "African-American" ... cannot even point out Africa on a map."

Whew...

That is an Urban Legend, say our friends at Snopes.com.

Letterman never did such a foolish Top 10 List, and in fact counts Black NASCAR drivers among his personal friends.

"1.5 percent identify themselves as black or African-American." I thought they were Negroes? Most that refer to themselves as "African-American" have never been to Africa and cannot even point out Africa on a map.

RE: "David Letterman"s Top 10 reasons why there are no black NASCAR DRIVERS:"

Did Letterman actually do this one ?

I find that hard to believe.

There ARE Black NASCAR drivers. Letterman had to know that. He would look foolish suggesting there aren"t any.
