I was born in 1961 as was Obama and I don't believe for a minute that he considered joining the military in 1979. You're certainly welcome to that belief, Brian, but do you have any argument for it? Any evidence?

>>Yes, I heard many politican use that remark as well. But I believe Obama made a mistake in using it yesterday and should have steered well away from using the work 'lipstick'. I don't know why you say that I believed the Scott Ott piece. I thought that it was a funny jab at Obama and that is why I posted it. I was born in 1961 as was Obama and I don't believe for a minute that he considered joining the military in 1979.<< BS - Sorry, but the Republican party doesn't own the word "lipstick" now, just because it was used in a speech at the RNC. You posted the Ott piece, then waxed apoplectic about how Obama would say such transparently false things. Only later did you link to the UK Telegraphs site, where the one real quote from Obama was. I mourn with you, for the loss of your credibility. Your belief that Obama is lying about considering joining the military is based on nothing but your desire to believe the worst about him. All you're doing is proving my point. - Allen
