My daughter then pointed out that Obama smokes. How was i suppose to explain that. It speaks to weakness on a regular basis, poor judgement, giving in to addiciton. I'm not saying it's reason enough to not vote for him, but we are trying to hang our hat on reasons to vote for him, and this just made me think, "um, no" HE SMOKES?

First of all Barack Obama IS NOT A MUSLIM. If you have ONE PIECE OF EVIDENCE THAT HE HAS DONE ANYTHING IN HIS ENTIRE ADULT LIFE TO SHOW THAT HE IS A MUSLIM, THEN SHOW IT so the comment doesn't look so ignorant. Secondly, ANY research will show that the president DOES NOT HAVE to take his oath on a BIBLE. It is irrelevent to the oath of office. Obama says he is a Christian, Bush says he is a Christian. Do Christians lie? Do they do research? Obama, never a President of the USA, why not, he is Muslim, cannot "HONESTLY" take the oath of office if he were elected, and the oath is sworn on the Holy Bible, NOT the Koran, and this is "ONE NATION UNDER GOD" not Allah! He should have never made it into the arena based on this alone!

This is another prime example that Bush should not have vetoed the bill for education. The ignorance here is appalling. First of all Barack Obama IS NOT A MUSLIM. If you have ONE PIECE OF EVIDENCE THAT HE HAS DONE ANYTHING IN HIS ENTIRE ADULT LIFE TO SHOW THAT HE IS A MUSLIM, THEN SHOW IT so the comment doesn't look so ignorant.

First off, Brad from Texas, Obama didn't just announce he did it. He was asked. What are you gonna do? Dont answer? Lie? NO! Logically, you answer truthfully and comment on it. He made it clear to those people that what he did was wrong. It was a college. If the kids cant make out right or wrong then the blame goes to the parents for poor oversight. NOT HIM!

And to the right winged extremists who say Obama shouldn't be forgiven for "doing oh so wrong" by smoking pot, even after admitting it, just remember that each of you has done something just as bad or maybe even worse. Lied to someone? Took candy? Copied a paper? Something!

So before you blasting him for doing it so many years ago, make sure you aren't a hypocrite in some messed up way.

There, that should clear up this blog. Now I should only see words of support.
