You do realize that flag pin has too few stars even still, don't you? He said he'd been to 57 states, that he still needed to go to one, and that he wasn't allowed by his staff to go to Alaska or Hawaii, which means if we do the math: 57 + the one he hasn't been to yet + Alaska + Hawaii = we are up to 60 states now! :-)

Hmmm....Canada has 10 provinces....

;-)
Onward and Upward!

with. :roll:

Yeah, it was. but I think Elfie has a point. Had Bush claimed he'd visited 57 US states, this would be all over everywhere.

Something about BHO really doesn't sit right with me.

He can do or say whatever he wants to make all of your minds happy,
but IMHO there's no way in hell he gets to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama has a message for Tennessee's Republican Party: "Lay off my wife."
Obama, his party's presidential front-runner, and his wife, Michelle, were asked in an interview aired Monday on ABC's "Good Morning America" about an online video last week by the state's GOP taking her to task for a comment some considered unpatriotic.

"The GOP, should I be the nominee, can say whatever they want to say about me, my track record," Obama said. "If they think that they're going to try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, they should be careful because that I find unacceptable, the notion that you start attacking my wife or my family."
Well... maybe if she weren't giving campaign speeches she could be called "off limits"... but since she's a big part of the campaign...
Just another item added to the list of things we can't talk about.

Not only can we not mention his ears...

We can't call him a liberal.

We can't talk about his mother.

We can't talk about his father.

We can't talk about his grandmother unless he does, brings her up as a "typical white person."

We can't talk about his wife.

We can't talk about his preacher.

We can't talk about his terrorist friends, any of the bombers and mobsters.

We can't talk about his voting record.

We can't talk about appeasement.

We can't talk about color or about lack of color.

We can't talk about his schooling.

We can't say his middle name.

We can't talk about his lack of experience.

We can't talk about his income.

And we can't talk about his flag pin.

Everybody got that?

you know this is such BS. If he did not want his wife attacked, she should stay off the campaign trail. When she makes stupid comments she sets herself up as fair game. :x :x
Happy 2015!

Agreed.

But what has really struck me over the past year is how fragile this guy is. It started with him chastizing Maureen Dowd for mentioning his ears. Any time a pundit or a candidate says something he doesn't like, he declares the subject off limits. That's not something that inspires confiedence.

Not that any of the candidates inspire confidence... :roll:

Okay, so why not READ about them!

OBAMA LAUNDRY LIST OF LIES as of April 03, 2008 (68 lies and counting)

1.) "Selma Got Me Born."

LIAR! Your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no
effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965!

2.) "My Father Was A Goat Herder."

LIAR! He was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work
with the Kenyan Government.

3.) "My Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter."

LIAR! He was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments
Kenya has ever had.

4.) "My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom."

LIAR! Your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting
to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya. It is the first
widespread violence in decades.

5.) "My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian."

LIAR! She does her daily Salat prayers at 5am (according to her own
interviews). Not to mention, Christianity wouldn't allow her to have been
one of 14 wives to 1 man.


6.) "My Name is African Swahili."

LIAR! Your name is Arabic - and 'Baraka' (from which Barack came)
means 'blessed' in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.

7.) "I Never Practiced Islam."

LIAR! You practiced it daily at school, where you were registered as a
Muslim and kept that faith for 31 years,until your wife made you change,
so you could run for office.

8.) "My School In Indonesia Was Christian."

LIAR! You were registered as a Muslim there, and got in trouble in
Koranic Studies for making faces (check your own book).

9.) "I Was Fluent In Indonesian."

LIAR! Not one teacher says you could speak the language.

10.) "Because I Lived In Indonesia, I Have More Foreign Experience."

LIAR! You were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn't even speak
the language. What did you learn - how to study the Koran and watch
cartoons?



Lies 11-20 tomorrow. Stay tuned!
