Actually I did not ask for an apology although it is both a nice gesture and appreciated.
And I honestly do not mean to come across as hateful. I only ask this from you, imagine someone you respect, now imagine them doing something that is
completely contrary to why you would give them respect. That is how I felt. It is not personal, in all actuality I applaud you for making your points
in (most of the time) a dignified manner. I understand that we all have buttons and when someone finds and pushes that button that an emotional
response is forthcoming, so that being said we have all said things here that were mean spirited to someone in response for something they said that
"pushed our button."
Furthermore, I completely agree with everything you are saying regarding what the court's decision may or may not entail and also that standing and
merit are two completely different things. And contrary to what you
might think I am not just asking for for some sort of proof of the BC
because I am anti Obama, although I am now and it has nothing to do with the BC, well it does a little but that was just the last straw so to speak. I
will explain that in a second. At one time I was hard core pro Obama and had a sticker on my car and a sign in my yard (still have that in the
garage).
When the stuff with the Rev. Wright started I thought to myself, how could this man attend this church for 20 years, have him as a mentor (which would
imply he spent more time with him that 1 1/2 hours on Sunday morning), have his kids baptized there and yet he has no clue about this man's beliefs?
I thought though, hey stranger things have happened, perhaps he is telling the truth. Then came the deal with the Chicago real estate guy and he knew
nothing about that, again I thought, well that is possible. Then came the black panther deal. Now I started to begin to question his integrity and
honesty, but that wasn't enough to make me take the sign out of my yard YET. Next there was his aunt whom he did not know was illegally in the
country, it was at this point I took the sign out of my yard and if my wife were not at work she could attest to that for you. I was quite
disappointed at this point. Lastly there is the BC issue. Now I am sorry, but if it looks like poop, smells like poop, and taste like poop, I am
comfortable assuming it is poop.
Now let's evaluate this as a whole, he knows nothing about his associations, he doesn't know his aunt in an illegal alien, and not only is there the
BC issue, but he refuses to address the problem. Is this what you consider a leader to be? Would you trust ANY OTHER PERSON ON THIS PLANET that has
done the same things to run this country? How sound do you think his choices for important nominations ESPECIALLY any supreme court nominations he may
have to make are? He does not know anything about anybody or anything negative that effects him, what does this tell you?
To me I view it as either one of 2 possibilities:
1) he is a liar
2) he really doesn't know these things
In either case does this make him a good candidate to run this country and bring about any sort of change?
