The next day, his office issued a "clarification," but few of those present will read it either because they cannot read or will never see where it is printed.<BR/><BR/>Did anyone notice how Shelby latched on to President Obama's hand during his walk-in to Congress the other night? It's a wonder he did not pull the President right up into the seat with him!

But ever since he crossed the aisle to become a republican, I thought he had a keen sense of which way the political winds are blowing. It seems this is more of the same. Note he doesn't say he actually doubts Obama's eligibility himself. If he were stating his true opinion, I would think that this shows negligent, probably willful, ignorance. But since I think it's just sucking up to stupidity, I say just politics as usual.moiocihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06201257315694416386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-44575310553414694722009-02-23T13:35:00.000-06:002009-02-23T13:35:00.000-06:00Shelby is reporting this non-issue as though it we...Shelby is reporting this non-issue as though it were somehow fact and acting no better than a misinformed anonymous blogger in the process.<BR/><BR/>He's wrong in many ways, but it'll be a tough pill for most Alabama residents to swallow to admit that.Comrade Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11393718048145784837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-47516938172373761402009-02-23T12:57:00.000-06:002009-02-23T12:57:00.000-06:00Oh good gracious I can't believe the idiocy someti...Oh good gracious I can't believe the idiocy sometimes. This is why progressives need to keep vigilant, keep laying pressure on Obama from the left because he is getting so much crappy bs pressure from the right. There's a great video on this site for the book <A HREF="http://thinkingbigthebook.com/" REL="nofollow">Thinking Big</A> that makes the same point - now is the time for us to do our part to keep Obama on track and away from the influence of nutjobs like those.LazySusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10599311806263532104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-78658225617139927932009-02-23T10:39:00.000-06:002009-02-23T10:39:00.000-06:00WOW - you'd rather have a crook than a idiot? Not...WOW - you'd rather have a crook than a idiot? Not me. I'd rather have neither. It seems to me that Illinois has more than their fair share of corrupt politicians - let's see, where does the current President hail from? Nuf said.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure why someone is termed "stupid" by simply stating his opinion or questioning something he is not clear on. While he may be totally off base - why does that make him stupid? Wonder if you would think my son was 'stupid' for questioning his history teacher on the real reasons for the Civil War, versus what their book is saying. <BR/><BR/>It's pretty radical to think we can't all have differing opinions and if someone happens to think differently than you - they are stupid or an idiot. If they happen to question something they are not clear on - just because an image has been posted on the internet or because millions of followers have stated something over and over on the blogs - does not make it true. Hold true for BOTH sides of the arguement!<BR/><BR/>Unlike Shelby - I believe Obama was born in Hawaii, but I don't think he is stupid or an idiot for questioning where Obama was born. I don't think he is stupid for wanting to see some proof. Let's face it - a COLB only states that the baby was, in fact, born alive. Let's face it - Obama has sealed a lot of his records. In fact, I rather find Shelby couragous to stand up for what HE feels is right and for what HE feels he needs clarification on.<BR/><BR/>Why is everyone so afraid of the truth?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-67275413247514449342009-02-23T10:01:00.000-06:002009-02-23T10:01:00.000-06:00oh my god, i'd be crazy if i had to live there. to...oh my god, i'd be crazy if i had to live there. to read of this stuff every day because they were my state's... ugh!!!Sherry Pasquarellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06107407102753464356noreply@blogger.com
