 TR> Low information voters saw BO as `the first black
 TR> president', and wouldn't look beyond that. They demanded
 TR> scholastic records of presidential candidates going back
 TR> many presidential races ago, but they gave this guy a pass
 TR> when he refused to release his. That raises the strong

 Anybody can demand any records from anybody, few presidential
 candidates have released their's.

 TR> suspicion that we have the first `affirmative action'
 TR> president ever elected (to `two' terms, no less!).

 No, Bush was the first Affirmative Action president. He was
 admitted to grad school as a legacy, which is affirmative
 action, whether you like it or not.

 TR> Presidents' have had their birth places and records heavily
 TR> delved into since I can remember, starting with Franklin
 TR> Roosevelt. No records have ever been covered with the
 TR> secrecy this guy had. How does an *American* attend one or

 Almost every president's records have had that much secrecy.

 TR> covered with the secrecy this guy had. How does an
 TR> *American* attend one or more of our university's as a
 TR> `foreign exchange student', and yet claim to be

 Since that never happened, that's not a problem. Since you have
 had it explained before, the Fulbright he supposedly got at
 Occidental College was impossible, it was only for grad
 students, and Obama was an undergrad.

 TR> This guy was touted as highly educated and highly
 TR> intelligent. If he was so educated and so smart...why does
 TR> he need a teleprompter to speak?

 Why did every president and presidential candidate since the
 teleprompter was invented?

 TR> This guy has poured taxpayer money into so-called `green
 TR> energy' companies,

 Same ones Bush did, in general.

 TR> doing so. And he's completely shut off much of our access
 TR> to readily available energy by crippling both the oil AND
 TR> the coal industry. He's come very close

 The oil and coal industry is sailing along just fine, and making
 more profit than ever. Oh, and predictions are, as things are
 going, the US will displace Saudi Arabia in quantity of oil
 produced.

 TR> to bankrupting the country, has added more to our debt than
 TR> all the presidents have since George Washington, is about
 TR> to add even more before he's through.

 George W. Bush added more debt than all the presidents since
 George Washington. Ronald Reagan tripled the debt added by all
 presidents since George Washington, according to the right wing
 Van Mises Institute. Obama has non only not added that much
 debt, but has a fair way to go before he does.

 Reagan and Bush both inherited national debts going down as
 percent of GDP, and both sent it soaring.

 TR> impeach, but the Senate will not convict. In foreign
 TR> affairs he's ruined America, maybe for good and all, in its
 TR> world standing. He's made us the

 GW Bush ruined America in the world's eyes. Obama is still more
 respected than Bush. In the arena of world politics, he's
 probably more respected than any president from Reagan on, other
 than Clinton.

 OTOH, right now the rest of the world considers the Republicans
 an international disaster waiting to happen.

 TR> laughing stock of the whole world. He's like a bull in a
 TR> china shop...backing and lunging, thrusting horns from side
 TR> to side in its effort to escape, and doing more and more
 TR> damage every time it moves.

 Mythbusters disproved the myth of the Bull in a China Shop.
