So you think Obama got his birth announced the day he was born in 1961? Pretty good trick! Ken, Isnt that what you believe?

No need for me to be involved in the argument as Obama won't be on the ballot, however, it isn't such a great trick to fly in with a baby, register the birth and place an announcement. Flying restrictions would have prevented her from flying so far along in her pregnancy. Just to toss cold water on your statement, it wouldn't have been a very slick trick at all.

Health Care Law 60% Favor Repeal of Health Care Law, 50% Say Repeal Would Benefit Economy Monday, August 16, 2010 Email to a Friend ShareThis.Advertisement Support for repeal of the health care reform bill is at its highest level in over a month, while the number of voters who believe repeal will be good for the economy has reached a new high. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows that 60% at least somewhat favor repeal of the health care reform law, while 36% oppose repeal. Those numbers include 50% who Strongly Favor repeal and 26% who Strongly Oppose it. Platinum Members can see state-by-state results from across the country. The number that favors repeal is up five points from last week and is the highest level measured since July 1. The number that Strongly Favors repeal also ties the highest level ever - first measured in mid-April. Overall support for repeal has ranged from 52% to 63% since the law was passed by Congress in March. Fifty percent (50%) of voters now say repeal of the bill will be good for the economy. That's up six points from the end of July and is the highest result found since the question was first posed in April. Twenty-six percent (26%) say repeal of the bill would be bad for the economy, while another 15% say it will have no impact. (Want a free daily e-mail update? If it's in the news, it's in our polls). Rasmussen Reports updates are also available on Twitter or Facebook. The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on August 13-14, 2010 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95%level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology. But voters are not as convinced that repeal would lead to the creation of more jobs. While 33% say a repeal of the bill would lead to more job creation, 30% disagree. Thirty-seven percent (37%) more are not sure. Still, the number of voters who believe the law's repeal would lead to increased job creation is also the highest level measured yet. Thirty-nine percent (39%) of voters believe it is at least somewhat likely the bill will be repealed, showing no change from July. Forty-six percent (46%) say the law is not likely to be repealed. This includes 15% who say repeal is Very Likely and eight percent 98%) who say it is Not At All Likely to happen. Fifty percent (50%) believe the health care reform plan will be bad for the economy, down slightly from results found over the past several weeks. Thirty-nine percent (39%) say the law will be good for the economy, the highest result found since mid-July. Republicans continue to strongly favor repeal of the health care bill, while a majority of Democrats oppose repeal. Most voters not affiliated with either major political party also favor the bill's repeal. Nearly three-out-of-four voters in the Political Class oppose repeal of the bill, while a strong majority of Mainstream voters favor repeal. Separate polling shows that 54% of U.S. voters oppose the requirement in the new federal health care bill that every American must buy or obtain health insurance. Forty-three percent (43%) favor the requirement, which was on the losing end of a vote in Missouri last Tuesday and is being challenged in court by a number of states.

ken. hussein obama and this pos appear to be on the same wave length...at least as far as i slam is concerned. Hamas chief on 9/11 mosque: 'Islam must build everywhere' Terror-group leader: Muslims in U.S., around world united in common cause August 15, 2010 © 2010 WorldNetDaily wnd.com Two days after President Obama came out in support of a plan to build an Islamic cultural center and mosque near Ground Zero, the controversial project has received yet another high-profile endorsement – this one from the chief of the terror group Hamas in the Gaza Strip. "We have to build the mosque, as you are allowed to build the church and Israelis are building their holy places," stated Mahmoud al-Zahar, a co-founder of Hamas who is regarded as the chief of the group in Gaza. Zahar said that as Muslims, "We have to build everywhere." "In every area we have, [as Muslims] we have to pray, and this mosque is the only site of prayer, especially for the people when they are looking [to be] in the group, not an individual," he said. Zahar was speaking in a radio interview today with Aaron Klein, WND's Jerusalem bureau chief and host of investigative show on New York's WABC Radio. Zahar told Klein he was speaking on the mosque issue with authority, claiming Hamas "is representing the vast majority of the Arabic and Islamic world, especially the Islamic side." Zahar said that Muslims around the world, including those in the U.S., are united in a common cause. Stated the Hamas chieftain: "First of all, we have to address that we are different as people, as a nation totally different. We already are living under the tradition of Islam. ... Islam is controlling every source of our life as regard to marriage, divorce, our commercial relationships. ... Even the Islamic people or the Muslims in your country, they are living now in the tradition of Islam. They are fasting, they are praying." Audio of the interview can be heard below: New York Islamic leader Faisal Abdul Rauf, president of the Cordoba Initiative, has caused a stir with his proposed 13-story, $100 million Islamic cultural center and mosque near the corner of Park Place and West Broadway – about two blocks from the site of the 9-11 terrorist attacks. Rauf sparked controversy last month when he refused during a live interview on Klein's WABC show to condemn violent jihad groups as terrorists. Rauf repeatedly refused on the air to affirm the U.S. designation of Hamas as a terrorist organization or call the Muslim Brotherhood extremists. The Brotherhood openly seeks to spread Islam around the world, while Hamas is committed to Israel's destruction and is responsible for scores of suicide bombings, shootings and rocket attacks aimed at Jewish civilian population centers. During the interview, Klein also asked Rauf who he believes was responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks. "There's no doubt," stated Rauf. "The general perception all over the world was it was created by people who were sympathetic to Osama bin Laden. Whether they were part of the killer group or not, these are details that need to be left to the law-enforcement experts." Rauf has been on record several times blaming U.S. policies for the Sept. 11 attacks. He has been quoted refusing to admit Muslims carried out the attacks. Referring to the Sept. 11 attacks, Rauf told CNN, "U.S. policies were an accessory to the crime that happened. We (the U.S.) have been an accessory to a lot of innocent lives dying in the world. Osama bin Laden was made in the USA."
