Why would a different father for Obama affect his constitutional suitability as President? He was born in Hawaii so is natural born regardless of either parent, no?

never mind. I just re-read your post. I am using my phone because I lost power and the wifi is gone. All words are very small. Lol

Yeah, that was pretty shitty.

Yeah, that was pretty shitty. I'd forgotten about that.

Perhaps it will get as bad this year too but what pissed me off the most in 08 happened just after NH on Jan 9. It was such a vicious lie and I will never forgive Jesse Jackson Jr for it. I know it's scapegoating to forgive Obama and blame Jackson and Axelrod when Obama must have signed off on it. I'm not always consistent, rational, or high minded all the time either. For me this was the start of the most vicious and slimy campaign season of my life.

Oh no, we were already into Hillary not paying her suppliers and Solis-Doyle's mismanagement and Bill's "racist" reference to Jesse Jackson. The Rev Wright blowup was a couple weeks later. It was the 21St of Feb that Hillary after answering "Obama is a Christian" 4 times on the 5th added "as far as I know" which was then pumped into the headlines. The birther controversy got legs around then (while Republicans blame it on Hillary supporters, I dont recall any Democrat thinking Ann would run off to shitty Kenyan hospitals to give birth far from beautiful clean Hawaii and not tell anyone about it -that's tea party/Donald trump-style lunacy.)

I do retain some suspicions that Obama's real father might have been a radical friend of hers in Washington, which wouldn't affect his constitutional eligibility and would be cooler than the dickhead bigamist alcoholic who's listed as his father, but I'm not the average disapproving American either - though it's okay for Bernie to have an out-of-wedlock kid, I doubt a female candidate or even candidate's mother would get such a pass - Hillary's already responsible for not keeping her husband's dick properly trousered.

I will say the Chinese give an example where birtherusm might matter, by having their alternate state-approved Dalai Lama in Beijing who's never been to Tibet. I'm sure the Founding Fathers were concerned th-at the kid of a turncoat American would be bred and raised in England as a 5th column which is largely as stuff was done with European succession.

In reply to Thanks. Hillary or Bernie,

I'm not very worried that the Hillary Sanders fight will hurt the party's chances in the general. In 08 the campaign was much more bitter than today. Both sides did things that the other side felt were unconscionable and both sides were furious when it was finally decided. Even after 8 years I still feel a bit of anger when I think of some of the shit that went down. As angry as I was at the time I still voted for Obama and most Hillary supporters put it behind them and voted for Obama too. This year is less toxic than 08. Are Sanders supporters less mature than Hillary supporters in 08? I doubt it. The vast majority of democrats on either side will support who ever wins.

Thanks. Hillary or Bernie,

Thanks. Hillary or Bernie, the nation needs one to win or the GOP will finish the job they almost completed under W., irreversible economic collapse.

In reply to What's a puma?

In 08 some die hard Hillary supporters started a group, Party Unity My Ass, saying they wouldn't vote for Obama if he won. It never went anywhere because most Hillary supporters weren't immature assholes. In the end the vast majority of Hillary's supporters voted for Obama. If Hillary wins this year I suspect it will be the same. While some Sanders supporters might piss and moan like the Hillary supporters did in 08 the vast majority of Sanders supporters will vote for Hillary.

Everyone except the 1% will suffer. Including the world. It's unlikely our economy can withstand 4 more years of GOP's trickle down tax cuts. As I have posted they have changed Social Security budget math as a precursor to slashing benefits. Trumps top advisors are all war mongers, like John Bolton. Expect futile military conflicts and once again cargo planes full of caskets at midnight from the Middle East.

As Krugman said in his column today, only lefties complain that both parties are the same.
