that video would be funner if it were true.
we actually do know something about Obama's grades. he graduated without honors from Occidental, which means that his GPA was less than 3.3 he graduated magna semen laude from Harvard, which puts him in the top 10% of his class. that would be at or near 4.0 GPA
most job applicants are not required to show their GPA, or even their diplomas, but merely to state that they graduated. but even that would not disqualify Obama as president. at least two former presidents never graduated high school.

*snicker* I'm sure from where you're standing, that's true. When you're the last person on the far right, everyone else is to the left.

Barack Obama Explained: OMG, what a spot on video. "He may not be the genius you think he is' and "Time flies when you're having a good time". Summer vacations and golf, voting present and proving himself as a community organizer... too dam funny.... K to dawg...

Obama has had everything thrown at him to try and keep him from succeeding. I have never seen a party so desparate to discredit a president, even enough so to take down the country if they have to. I hope Obama is a massive failure. Because if he fails at enacting his policy of Destruction, America still might succeed. We have two choices in 2012- stand by America, or support Obama. It's really that simple, and clear cut. to you

People were so disgusted with the dunce known as bush they were ready to vote for somebody totally different. People still know how bad he was and he will never be known as a great statesman. Obama has had everything thrown at him to try and keep him from succeeding. I have never seen a party so desparate to discredit a president, even enough so to take down the country if they have to. I guess that is what happens when a black man finally makes it to the job of president of these United States. If all of you can do so much better, why not run. I know I could not as I would use just plain old common sense and would never get anywhere. You have to be the in guy and know how to play all those Washington games or they will kill you. I hope he gets in again because if he doesn't it will be even worse. I would rather have Obama then anything I see the repubs fielding so far, but that is just me I guess. The job could be done better if the office was vacant. It's not whether or not I could do a better job as president- my toddler could do a better job (more mature for starters). It's whether I could do a better job running for office- that I could not do. Because my campaign platform would be very simple: It's time for YOU to say, "Yes ***I*** Can!" My stump speech would be, "Folks, we're out of money. The politicians that came before me were elected because they promised voters they could have goods and services-- even cash-- that would be paid for by someone else. These promises weren't true when they were made, but the politicians kept the scam going by borrowing trillions of dollars that we are now faced with the monumental task of paying back. As Americans, we are a people of our word, so our creditors will get paid back. As Americans we are people of our word, so current retirees and those close to retirement are going to be paid what has been promised. As Americans, we will keep faith with those less fortunate, but we are going to reform welfare once and for all, and phase it out in favor of private charity. We aren't afraid of the truth, we will face it together, and we are up to the task." I'd reform entitlements starting right damn now- means testing against both income AND assets would start yesterday. Sorry, but we don't have a contract-- it's not a retirement program, and there is no agreement that we pay anyone. The proceeds were not "contributions" they were simply taxes that went into the general fund to be spent as government saw fit. It's not a pension, or a retirement account-- so we owe nobody anything. Bill Gates and Rush Limbaugh do not need and will not get Social Security and Medicare. Been here less than 20 years? No programs for you. We welcome you to the US to WORK-- get a job, start a business, enjoy yourself. But we're not going to pay you a full retirement after you've been here ten minutes. And since the programs are being phased out for CITIZENS you can bet your arse we're not preserving them to pay you. Younger workers? Sorry, but you're gonna have to keep paying to support the program. Next time someone promises you something and you're dumb enough to vote for them-- remember this day. A portion of your taxes will go into an account FOR YOU, with YOUR NAME on it-- but most has to go to the current system. This will slowly phase out over your working years until most, if not all of your taxes are going to YOU. Welfare-- and this includes all of it: Medicaid, WIC, Section 8 housing-- all of it. It will all be rolled into one program and the money will be block granted to the states who will choose an accountable, transparent, private sector charity to administer the programs in each local community and the program (formerly programs) will eventually be phased out and managed entirely by the private charities with some government oversight at the STATE level. Tax code-- good bye. This weight has been dragging us down for decades. It would be replaced with a flat income tax or consumption tax like the www.fairtax.org and ONLY individuals would pay taxes. Double taxation on corporations, taxes in dividends, and inheritance taxes would be eliminated. The US will be open for business. Regulations? What regulations? See your state government. The federal government is not authorized to regulate 80% of what it regulates. States could all come up with the best programs-- and may the best states win. America will be open for business. Then I would outline a program of austerity that would begin with zero baseline budgets for all federal agencies, I would decertify public employee unions, and modernize the bureaucracy to bring it into the 21st century. I'd give 75% to 80% of the federal workforce between 1 and 10 years notice that they're going to be expected to go find honest work because their job is going away. I'd prepare severance packages for hundreds of thousands of workers at places like the Commerce Department, the Department of Education, The Department of Energy (excpet nuclear programs), and the EPA who would be going home immediately. Now, try winning an election on that platform. It's easier to blame people like me who could prevent the current disaster from unfolding-- or ever happening in the first place and keep telling voters what they want to hear.

>>>Obama has had everything thrown at him to try and keep him from succeeding. I have never seen a party so desparate to discredit a president, even enough so to take down the country if they have to.<<<< Oh please, get your head out of the sand and wake up to a President that was ill equipped to run the United States of America. He's the one that has his apology tours all over the world and is dis-respected for that. Don't you think that every President has had unexpected major problems to deal with? He's never around when a crisis develops and he's surrounded by a stagnant administration as well. I have seen many political men of color turn on him for his policies and his lack of committment to solve them. Allen West and Herman Cain to name a few. Blame the man and not the color, it is lame and tiresome as is with Bush. Since Obama was sworn into office the problems were his to solve or at least make an effort for the good of the people to go forward, not his false promises or to fearmonger. He is taking the country down and pitting the parties against each other. It will be the Independents that decide and he has lost the Jewish vote to boot, and with the unemployment as high as it is and the GDP so low, that will determine his demise.

I dread to look at the stock market every day and hate to imagine where another year of his ineptness will leave us. Next time around people will get out and vote, after losing their homes and businesses and their 401K's and numerous other assets dwindle. It comes to mind when the candidates were all on stage debating and Joe was running on the Republican side, his statement about Barack was "Becoming President is not on the job training". He also said his "ire will be tested". Ha...how true!

One cannot disagree, dislike or be against the policies of this President without that. Sheesh. But, maybe we should go back and look at your support for Clarence Thomas, Condoleeze Rice, Alan Keyes, etc. One can easily disagree with Obama & not be racist. But, I have noticed that people seem more concerned with his religion & his birthplace more than any other presidential candidate that I can recall. I don't remember hearing anything about McCain's legal right to be president even though he wasn't even born on US soil.

I don't remember hearing anything about McCain's legal right to be president even though he wasn't even born on US soil. This was questioned back in 1999 and again brought up in '07. McCain was born on an American military base in the PCZ. There is never a question about children born on military installations are US Citizens. The question is, does birth on a military installation located outside the US proper still qualify as a "natural born citizen". Since law is fairly ambiguous, and there is currently no precedent, we'd have to take it to court to find out.
