He said Obama's decision to remove a bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval Office was "a great insult to the British." But "if you think about it, his perspective as growing up in Kenya, with a Kenyan father and grandfather, their view of the Mau Mau Revolution [uprising against British colonial rule] is very different than ours, because he probably grew up hearing that the British were a bunch of imperialists who persecuted his grandfather."'Clearly Obama is a unique figure in US politics. The promise he made to "fundamentally change the United States of America" has worried me since the utterance. How can anyone argue that this President's view of the world has a decided left handed, apologists slant? If he grew up in Podunk, Iowa it does not seem reasonable that he would acquire an anti-imperialist point of view. This President was obviously affected by his time in Kenya and influenced by his father's political leanings. Not to see this is simply to deny the obvious. The real questions become, "How does this play out in the USA? ...And can he be reelected?"

"if you think about it, his perspective as growing up in Kenya, with a Kenyan father and grandfather, their view of the Mau Mau Revolution [uprising against British colonial rule] is very different than ours, because he probably grew up hearing that the British were a bunch of imperialists who persecuted his grandfather."'
He insisted, then changed it. Guess it would have been better to not insist, when you don't know.

One can be born in USA and possessions,, and still be a citizen.. and can live any place in the world.. after that. How many americans are now living overseas, working or retired? have they lost their citizenship??? Wake up youngster, and read the constitution.. Your citizenship is being born via USA ... not where you live afterward. and he wants to be president??? Isn't he Mormon???? How many non citizens are in the Mormon church????? I bet there are more than can be counted on one hand. You sure you want a mormon running this country?? Mormon church is a business more than a religion. They own and control a lot of businesses..and territory. I think their religion should be investigated by the US Government. so there.

March 07 2011 at 6:14 PM Report abuse Permalink -1 rate up rate down ReplyIf this man cannot get these simple, irreputable facts straight , HOW does he expect us to buy him as a potential Presidential candidate...I want some who can, at least, READ in the White House, let alone have some semblance of deductive reasoning!
March 06 2011 at 2:12 PM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down ReplyYeah, too bad Obama can only read his teleprompter and thinks America has 57 states (that the number of Islamic countries, oops, Freudian slip); does not know when America developed smart bombs and claimed that McCain dropped them on Vietnamese villagers ( also a glaring stupidity); Obama thinks that a suitable present for the Queen of England is an iPod (with his favorite music, on it, of course) and that a great gift to the Prime Minister of England would be a set of his favorite movies on DVD (wrong system of course - another social faux paux by our idiot in chief); and that it is a good idea to bow to the Japanese PM (another act of a very stupid man); BTW, he thinks that Iran and Venezuela pose no threat to America because in the words of the idiot in chief "they are very small countries". Go ahead and keep supporting this buffoon while the rest of the world laughs at this monkey in the White House.

March 06 2011 at 8:18 AM Report abuse Permalink +3 rate up rate down ReplyNo matter what might be offered to the right wing loonies who are convinced Obama is a foreigner, they would not be convinced. If they were given precisely what they are demanding they would then insist it's a forgery. They simply hate the man, no matter what because he is a democrat, is still president and is still black.
