Now, I don't believe he was born in Kenya. I believe he lied about it for a variety of purposes. But you can't really blame people for thinking he may have been born in Kenya when Obama is the source of the rumor. i think he had more incentive to lie now, than to lie back then. no way he can admit he was born in kenya. i'm 80% sure he was born in kenya. but the birth issue is dangerous for romney in the election, and the liberals know it. it's a distraction and might give oblamya some sympathy votes. it's better to expose him after the election. the republicans are wise to say they believe obama was born in hawaii. if i was heading the rnc, i'd be pushing the things he's said, and not let up. i'd be running "under 'my' plan of cap'n'trade, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket". everyone would say that he's retracted that. ok, that's good, but then why did he say it in the first place? it was in 2008, and the economy was already in trouble. i'd play it every single day. every. single. day. play the video of him saying he's going to bankrupt the coal industry. use his own words against him. every. single. day. play videos of him flip flopping his positions. every. single. day. be relentless with the leaks. be relentless with fast'n'furious. it's apparent that his whole administration (his whitehouse) is filled with fools. they'll continue to make gaff after gaff under pressure. show him to be the liar he is, with his own words. i also believe he's a muslim. but we should stay away from that issue too. don't give him a chance to get any sympathy votes. most christians, especially catholics are going to vote against him anyway. we just don't need to go there. if we play it strategically smart, he's toast in november. the question is, what's he going to do after he loses the election? when he's got nothing to lose? to me, that's a scary thought.

Top Customer: Under Obama, Fed’s Holdings of U.S. Debt Have Jumped 452% By Terence P. Jeffrey June 7, 2012 Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and President Barack Obama (AP Photo/Stephan Savoia) (CNSNews.com) - Since President Barack Obama was inaugurated in January 2009, the Federal Reserve’s holdings of U.S. government debt have quintupled, according to the Fed’s official monthly balance sheet. On Jan. 28, 2009, a week after Obama’s nomination, the Fed owned $302 billion in U.S. Treasury securities. On April 25, 2012, the latest date reported, the Fed owned five and a half time that much in U.S. Treasury securities-- $1.668 trillion. That is an increase from January 2009 of $1.366 trillion—or 452 percent. Under Obama, the Federal Reserve has become the single largest owner of U.S. government debt. When Obama entered office, entities in the People’s Republic of China were the largest holders, followed by entities in Japan. At the end of January 2009, China owned $739.6 billion in U.S. government debt and Japan owned $634.8 billion. By the end of March 2012, China’s holdings of U.S. debt had grown to $1.1699 trillion and Japan’s holdings had grown to $1.083 trillion. Together, the Federal Reserve, China and Japan had increased their holdings of U.S. debt by $2.2445 trillion since Obama took office. The total U.S. government debt grew from $10.6179 trillion to $15.6233 between Jan. 28, 2009 and April 25, 2012. Leaving out the intragovernmental debt—which the federal government owes itself—the publicly owned part of the U.S. government debt has climbed from $6.2955 trillion to $10.8607 trillion, an increase of $4.5652 trillion. The $2.2445 trillion of that new publicly owned U.S. government debt that was purchased by the Fed, China and Japan equals 49 percent of all the new debt the U.S. government has sold to the public since Obama took office.
