@naqib, you should learn to read and comprehend - he did not release any information because the ATTORNEY GENERAL told him not to in order to NOT JEOPARDIZE the ongoing investigation. Did you go to school in Alaska?


Learn to comprehend... you&#039;re a tool...
He said there was no contact what so ever!  So what would it jeopardize?  I didn&#039;t go to school in Alaska... Nice bigot statement by the way... you&#039;re a racist lady... and I pity you.</description>

&quot;Talk/talk/talk&quot;?  What do you want from him?  He hasn&#039;t taken office yet!  And even when a president is in office, the tools are a voice and a pen.  Did you think there were knobs and levers on the president&#039;s desk?</description>

		<description>Just another shrewd political photo op.
A presidents only constitutional job is to keep the country safe.
Its the congress that does all the spending etc.  Congress writes the bills and its a presidents job to either sign them or not.
Bush was complainging about the Fannie Freddy situation for years but the dems in congress wouldn&#039;t do any thing about it. 
you should check the historical FACTS before blaming Bush for everything.
Oh, gol, its snowing again. Must be Bushes fault.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know who you are calling a bigot, but just because someone doesn&#039;t agree with the greatness of Obama doesn&#039;t make them a bigot.  I feel great admiration for Martin Luther King and I especially admire the guts of Rosa Parks.</description>

		<description>I have said it before and I will say it again, until we as United States citizens unite and support our president AND one another, we will never move forward.  The negative comments about our president elect are horrible.   when will you guys understand that it takes more than one person to make a world work, and with us not working together, we are working apart--shame on us--look what we have allowed ourselves to get into.</description>

The cover might be the Lincoln Bible but the inside will be the Koran.&quot;

I don&#039;t even have the words to describe your inbred foolishness.

@Greg, PE Obama does go to church; unfortunately, he resigned from his former church during his campaign, due to disparaging remarks made by his former pastor, Reverend Wright.  And just where have you been hiding?

@ignorance is bliss, no he want be using your book.

@naqib, you should learn to read and comprehend - he did not release any information because the ATTORNEY GENERAL told him not to in order to NOT JEOPARDIZE the ongoing investigation.  Did you go to school in Alaska?

@larry from TN, if you hypocritical &quot;evangelicals&quot; can touch the Bible and your hands don&#039;t burn, then PE Obama&#039;s won&#039;t burn either.

@All Haters, give it up; this man (black, white, mixed race, biracial, african-american; whichever term you choose to use) is going to be the best president he can be.  Support him; we all live in THIS Country; we fight wars for THIS Country.  Stop the separatists ideations.</description>

		<description>Like every president-elect he&#039;s been asked which past president he admires and would like to emulate.  In his case it&#039;s Lincoln.  And since he admires Lincoln he thinks it&#039;s fun to note, as anyone would, that there are parallels in his Illinois legislative career.  There&#039;s nothing arrogant about that.  I admire Mark Twain and if I had been born in the same town and spent time working on a riverboat I&#039;d be tickled about the similarity and say so.  Would people then say, &quot;oooh, he thinks he&#039;s a beloved American icon!  And he hasn&#039;t even published a short story, much less a novel!  How deluded!  How arrogant!&quot;?  Only if they were desperate for an excuse to knock me down.</description>

		<description>Hey, I am a Puerto Rican from Jersey born and raised with Real true African Americans.

Don&#039;t get me wrong, I am happy he chose Abe&#039;s  Bible, and I do find it historical.  But he is not &quot;African American&quot; . or atleast &quot;African American&quot; as we know it, or people who grew up with me knew it.  This man has no ounce of slavery in his blood, does not know what it is to be discriminated.  

His Grandmother was a Bank VP.. How hard did he have it in life.  Yes his mom was a hippie, who traveled a lot, married a lot, and left him with his grandmother, I acknowledge that, this must have been hard on him,  But compared to the African Americans I grew up with and still live with, He is not an African American, he African/White.</description>

		<description>I cannot believe some of the comments aimed towards Obama. From the jabs thrown at him for offering a beer to journalists in the sweltering heat (others would have called him mean for not offering a beverage)  to the bible being used for his inauguration. Some of the comments are downright rude. It never ceases to amaze me the ignorance of some people. No wonder America is so despised around the world with this type of arrogance shown by some posters here. GIve the guy a break will ya, he is about to embark on the most difficult job in the world and needs everyone&#039;s support, not criticism.</description>

&quot;He does not have the pain of slavery or discrimination running through his veins.&quot;
-------------------

Honestly, nobody does.  I don&#039;t have the pain of the Irish potato famine or &quot;No Irish Need Apply&quot; running in mine.  This is what our country really needs to learn.  Until we learn to simply refer to ourselves as &quot;American&quot; with no added hyphenated DIVISIVE terminology to throw up barriers, then we haven&#039;t moved on and there is no unity in our hearts.  Pretty simple.</description>

		<description>We will soon be put back into US and once again be the United States. It is time we started working together as one nation.  We need to eliminate: pork,special interest/party first at any cost and start to concentrate on education for all/ health care for all/ and a respected retirement for all. If not now then when?</description>

Absolutley Fitting and appropriate that the first African American President use an artifact related correlated to the emancipation of African Americans in America. It&#039;s about time America got it right.
______________________________________________________
I couldn&#039;t agree with you more. I think it is wonderful and shows the thought he puts into things. I think he will make a wonderful president. 
 And for those who feel he has not suffered discrimination are WRONG. He has in many ways and at different times in his life. People made a very big deal of the fact he was African-American throughout the campaign. He didn&#039;t. Where do you think the slaves came from? Slaves were bought here from Africa.</description>

In part, the Americans that died in the Civil War were fighting for the freedoms that made it possible for us to choose Obama.  I suppse it&#039;s no wonder you belittle their sacrifice.  Do you think the wrong side won?</description>

Didn&#039;t you see how upset and stressed he got just trying to make decisions on who his cabinet (his buddies) would be?  The USA is in for a truly bad time, folks.  It has all been pretense and symbolism and promises he can never keep without bankrupting this country.</description>

		<description>&quot;Please remember Obama, is Not African American, He is of African Decent mixes with Wite. 

African Americans are decendants of those who suffered the attrocity known as Slavery.

He does not have the pain of slavery or discrimination running through his veins&quot;

His mother was American. His father was African.

African+American = African American. From the dictionary, an African American is &quot;a black American of African descent&quot;.

A Native American is a Native American regardless of whether or not their particular tribe was forced onto reservations or wiped out with smallpox blankets.</description>

		<description>Greg, how many people calling themselves Christians in America actually go to church every week? Very, very few in comparison to the amount of self-righteous people criticizing Obama&#039;s own religious practices. I bet he&#039;s been to church more recently than most of those forwarding spam about how Muslim he is.

I wonder what Bibles past presidents have used.</description>

Please reread the paragraph.  It is a historical reference to Lincoln, NOT Obama.  It explains why Lincoln didn&#039;t have his family bible with him at the time he was sworn in 1861, and as a result why one was purchased for him to use in the ceremony.  In the midst of moving, packing, and relocating, the Lincoln&#039;s personal belongings (including their family bible) were still in route from Springfield to Washington.  For obvious historical purposes,  the LOC now has both bibles, and Obama will use the very bible that Lincoln used when he took the oath.

Like you said, &quot;pay attention&quot;!  LOL</description>
