Re: Obama bows to Saudie King

I would think that as a head of state you would NOT bow to anyone unless you had given allegiance to that person. A king of one country does not bow to the king of another unless he has been conquered by the other king. At least that is how it used to be.

For the life of me I can't figure out why us Republicans don't have better sense than that. I knew from day one that unless Obama just totally fell flat on his face we Republicans didn't stand a chance.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

True, but I was hoping that America didn't have that many deceived folks, to believe his lies.

Unlike Ayers, Dohrn actually spent time in prison as a result of their terrorist activities — a contempt citation for refusing to honor a grand jury subpoena in the Brinks investigation.
Abu Zayd is what Bill Ayers goes by. billayers.org
Did you hear Ayers is now writing textbooks for our children?

McCain was surging in the polls until he started putting a muzzle on Palin and the others. And you don't fill up airport hangers without Palin being there.
BTW, Palin doesn't need a teleprompter to speak. That "hockey Mom" quote she spoke at the RNC was the result of speaking off the cuff when her teleprompter failed. Yet she didn't seem to skip a beat, and no one noticed.

I had heard that. he and Obama were chicago pals on several education projects.

Quote:
I also believe that Senator Obama served on a board with Mr. Ayers for a period of time, the Woods Foundation, which was a paid directorship position. And, if I'm not mistaken, that relationship with Mr. Ayers on this board continued after 9/11 and after his reported comments, which were deeply hurtful to people in New York and, I would hope, to every American, because they were published on 9/11, and he said that he was just sorry they hadn't done more."
People that voted for Obama expended a lot of energy ignoring his past or were just as radical and on the wrong tangent as the ONE.

"Now"? He has been for some time - though I don't think he he actually writes the texts. His jobs have been to "design" curriculum, etc.

He and his wife would actually make pretty good chemistry teachers. The Weather Underground cell that learned their bomb making from Ward Churchill all died in a "work related" accident.

Evidence continues to mount that Barack Obama had substantial help from Bill Ayers in the creation of his 1995 book, Dreams From My Father, a book that Time Magazine has called "the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician." The evidence falls into five general categories, here summarized.


The discovery of new matching nautical metaphors from both Ayers and Obama that almost assuredly came from the same source: Ayers, a former merchant seaman.
the man that stutters on a teleprompter also had written communication skills.

Re: Obama bows to Saudi King

Obama reminds me of the friend who wants everyone to like him. He is everyone's friend while he is paying for Golf, dinner etc.

But when it comes to doing something one on one you say under your breath, idiot.
