OK class, here is our lesson today.
Following is a post from one of Ellen's poodles in their forum.
The emphasis on the birth certificate is a distraction. It does not matter where Barack Obama was born. Being a natural born citizen requires that both parents be US citizens at the time of birth.

First one to show where this idiot is wrong gets to have lunch with Ellen and Priscilla.

CNN spinoff site: just satire
The Daily Blank is a community for satirists. We started on May 1st, 2009 with 13 Founding Authors, and have been failing as fast as possible ever since. The faster we fail, the quicker we can fix things and improve.

What kind of first place prize is that???????
Regarding the main part of the post though, apparently DCBikerJohn attended the same public school as JohnT.

Ashley, we could make first prize a date with either one of them but I'm afraid you would toss your lunch.

Just make a small change to "first one to show where this idiot is wrong is sentenced to have lunch with Ellen and Prisciila." My personal opinion is that there is not enough Gin in Georgia for me to be able to tolerate this culinary menage a trois

10 years not enough for Aaron Bruns, unless he's tossed out of prison in ten years, directly into an alligator infested swamp.

Gentlemen,
You're starting to sound like frat house boys talking about the girl who beat you at touch football or some such sport.

Wow!
Beck beats CNN/MSNBC/HLN combined by more than 600,000 viewers.
Baier beats CNN/MSNBC/HLN combined by almost 300,000 viewers.
Shep even beats CNN/MSNBC/HLN combined by almost 75,000 viewers.
O'Reilly smashes CNN/MSNBC/HLN combined by almost one and one half-million viewers.
Hannity beats CNN/MSNBC/HLN combined by 144,000 viewers.
Greta wins the demo and the overall as usual, and she beats CNN/MSNBC combined as well.
What fantastic ratings!

As Obama's #'s go down, the Foxnews #'s show no sign of retreating and are in fact growing at the expense of other cable news channels, but more importantly from the main street networks as well. How long will it be before the other cable news channels admit that they are on the wrong path and try out a little fair & balanced prime time programing themselves? Maybe when Foxnews has an audience twice the size of the others combined.

Maybe someone should tell those morons that Obama's father WAS NEVER a U.S. citizen.
I'm no birther, but she's a tool.

Congratulations to Vstol whose viewer e-mail was read on "The O'Reilly Factor" tonight.
He wrote: "O'Reilly, excellent talking points about Walter Cronkite, the liberal media and President Obama but I can't give it a ten. Mr. Cronkite did not speak the truth about Vietnam. I was there when he misreported the Tet Offensive."
Bill's response: "In hindsight, Cronkite's analysis was that the war could not be won militarily because the North would not give up and the U.S.A. would not use the weaponry that could have knocked them out. That was true. But the press and Cronkite did misreport the battlefield situation where American troops won just about every fight, including Tet. But the overarch on Vietnam is that the South was corrupt and unwilling to make the sacrifices needed to keep them free."

Hear! Hear! Ramjet!
Since Crokite's death, I've been reading various pieces about the Tet Offensive and how Cronkite got it wrong.
That's a bit of history that NEEDS a public airing.
