Oh so it was his relatives in Kenya (from a family he hardly knew) that masterminded a 3 year persecution of him? It was they that were sending FIA requests to the Hawaiian Court of records demanding to see his "real" birth certificate? I don't remember his relatives sitting in on conservative Townhalls with every wacko far right-wing politician (like Michelle Bachmann) demanding that he show his "real" birth certificate.
But I really don't care where it started or by who. The fact remains that the Birthers are racists and this who birth certificate charade was entire driven by them. I am not saying every conservative is a racist, but there is little doubt on that particular groups primary motivation. I actually saw a TV interview from a Imperial Dragon of the KKK who thought the Birthers were more racist than they were. It is an organization that is almost entirely made up of white conservative who cannot stand the idea that we have a black President. The one or two self-hating black birthers I am sure you will mention do not change this fact.
This is exactly what I was saying before, the GOP will deflect, deny, but never take responsibility for ANYTHING. Whether its 9-11, Iraq, or the Birther's, Its always someone's fault, never their own. People that cannot accept mistakes are people I do not trust.
Do you deny that the GOP has been running an obstructionist political for the past 6 years? Even Mitch McConnell confirmed this. As BRINKTK stated, Congress is supposed to negotiate and make concessions with the President not block EVERYTHING he does.
I mean no disrespect but its painfully obvious you have no idea what a "leftist" is, or what liberals really stand for. I sincerely mean that as an observation not as an insult. You have a tendency spew those words out as if they were insults but like most people on the right you have no clue what those words actually mean. You despise people you hardly even know, and I bet you have more in common with liberals than you think.
Off the top of my head, I can name several of Obama policies...the NSA spy program, Obamacare, the bailouts of big business, the continuation of Bush's Foreign policy vis a vie Afghan and Pakistan..these are right-wing policies adopted by Obama. A true liberal, leftist, etc would have NEVER supported such polices as they are the complete antithesis of what real liberals stand for.
Obama like Clinton before and like Hillary are Moderates, they have SOME policies that are left-wing..and others that are more center or right-wing. The most stinging criticism towards Obama comes from the left, who accuse Obama of not being liberal enough. Hillary Clinton is like going to face a primary challenge from real liberals like Bernie Sanders or Elisabeth Warren in 2016 specifically because she isn't liberal enough and she's far more Liberal than Obama.
The fact is George, we haven't had a liberal president since Jimmy Carter. He sucked, but so did all the conservative ones whom came after him.

This "every opposition to The Big Zero is Racist" is intellectually bankrupt & silly. So..we should just ignore the comments of his relatives who said he was downloaded in Kenya, making him inelligible, that should start an inquiry(not "persecution") . What was The Big Zero's response...he still has all of his records sealed like someone who has something to hide. Why not unseal them? McCain had someone challenge him because he was downloaded in the Panama Canal Zone, that was a non-starter where the PCZ was US Territory. Think this will come up with Ted Cruze, who has 2 US Citizens for parents but apparently was born in Canada & Romney was in Mexico. So this isn't limited to one person, but one person is blocking the answers. Does anyone take anything said by the Klan seriously???
"Do you deny that the GOP has been running an obstructionist political for the past 6 years?" Of course! Considering that they are crap they should be blocked. He's been blocked on a few proposals that weren't bad, but he hasn't had many that weren't bad.

Liberals were only opposed to the NSa when they didn't control it. ObamaCare..really? Dems have been working on nationalizing health care for decades, ObamaCare is just a stepping stone on the path.

It should be noted, a lot of people don't know, forget, or ignore that Clinton in his 1st 2 years was just as far left as Obama, ClintonCare & other stuff was proposed & the GOP fought him just as hard as Obama. Oh wait, Clinton was declared the 1st Black President, that must be why he was opposed! Not! The people gave control of Congress to the GOP after only 2 years of Clinton instead of waiting 6 years, guess they were smarter then. Anyway, today Clinton & the Dems want people to think the balanced budget was his idea. Actually the GOP passed, Clinton vetoed it, GOP passed it again, Clinton vetoed it again, The GOP passed it a 3rd time & Clinton seeing it was massively popular in polls finally signed it

The Socialists/big govt types adopted the liberal title, but as people begin to see that they now want to be called "Progressives" a indistinct title they hope people won't understand what they consider "progress". The TEA Party is about small, less intrusive govt, less spending, less taxes. Liberals are for larger, bigger, more intrusive & controlling Govt, more govt dependence (also a vote buying program) & to increase control of the population. They are Stateists. Unfortunatly the "Establishment GOP" RINOs like Boehner only seem to object to the fact that the "big Govt." is controlled by Dems instead of themselves. This is the political reality of today.
