Obama bars press from 2nd swearing in. So much for an open Presidency like Obama promised.

So informed = wingnut and ignorant = majority? you state that Obama appears to be an illegal alien when in fact he does not appear to be one at all. Without bothering to revisit the absolute proof of his Hawaiian birth certificate I would like to ask you why the considerable legitimate conservative establishment -- as compared to the wingnuts on the internet -- have not pressed this case. Please do revisit the evidence you have. This subject has been a great source for exposing partisans. As has been pointed out, Obama has NEVER provided his Certificate of Live Birth. This is the only document recognised by Hawaii as legal proof. The only print media story I have seen on the question was the National Enquirer. With the partisan leftwing media studiously ignoring the issue it is no surprise that most people are more misinformed about Sarah Palin than informed about Obama. You quoted from my posts in which I insulted others but you failed to include the posts to which I was responding and which undoubtedly included insults to me. So sorry if the Leftwing Porch is filled with insulting dolts. That would be a problem with leftwingers that I choose to remain unconcerned about. The point I was making was that you were insulting President Bush within eight days of his inauguration. Regardless of what kind of insults leftwingers were slinging at you, you now ask moderates to lay off your precious messiah for at least a few months when you couldn't help yourself for half a month. Holder was never accused of a crime. Holder is well qualified to defend a crooked and dishonest President and not much more. He is a blindly partisan pick and was involved in some of the most despicable acts of the Justice Department in the last two decades. Or, after having supported someone who arguably was the worst president in our history Sorry, nobody you were posting to defended Carter at all. You must mean that about yourself. Nobody even defended Clinton who was was one of the worst Presidents ever, but pales in comparison to Carter. 79% of polled Americans currently hold President Barack Hussein Obama in their favor Just a sampling of the ignorance of Obama voters: Obama voters did not fare nearly as well overall when asked to answer questions about statements or stories associated with Obama or Biden -- 83% failed to correctly answer that Obama had won his first election by getting all of his opponents removed from the ballot, and 88% did not correctly associate Obama with his statement that his energy policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry. Most (56%) were also not able to correctly answer that Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground. Nearly three quarters (72%) of Obama voters did not correctly identify Biden as the candidate who had to quit a previous campaign for President because he was found to have plagiarized a speech, ... ... -- 57% of Obama voters were unable to correctly answer that Democrats controlled both the House and the Senate. If being brainwashed by the liberal media is a virtue then Obama supporters are quite virtuous. Comparing his favorable numbers at the beginning of his term to President Bush 43 would not be comparable because the media and democrats ad been attacking him even before he got in office. Generally most new President enjoy a sunshine period when they first take office.
