POPSThe Unbelievable connection and nepotism of Obama and Geithner The message the left holds onto is that Obama i an intellectual who worked his way up from poverty to become the leader of the free world. As If, any of that came without peoples hands on the yellow brick road that Obama skipped his way into the whitehouse on. Turn on the lights. watch the cockroaches scramble.

POPSBirthers' new claim about Obama's birth: his grandmother was really his mother! Too bad for their argument that if that actually were the case, it would render invalid their claims about him not being a citizen due to having been born in Kenya. Bear in mind: the person or people making a claim are the ones who need to provide evidence to support their claim, not the other way around. If Jan says "Pat has sexual relations with sheep!" the burden is on Jan to provide evidence of this; the burden is not on Pat to defend against a ludicrous, unsupported claim. Remember, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence .

POPSNavy Destroyer Named After Marine Medal Of Honor Winner Jason L. Dunham
In a solemn ceremony punctuated by talk of courage, service and sacrifice, the mother of a Marine corporal on Saturday christened a warship honoring her son, who died after covering an exploding grenade to protect his comrades in Iraq. After composing herself and taking a deep breath, Deb Dunham smashed a bottle of champagne over the bow of the 510-foot warship Jason Dunham, then held the bottle aloft before a cheering crowd of more than 1,500 people. She was joined by the Marines who served with her son, by her husband, Dan Dunham, and their daughter Katelyn Dunham. Two other Dunham boys also were in the audience. Retired Gen. Michael Hagee, a former Marine commandant who was with the Dunhams when their son died at Bethesda Naval Hospital days after the explosion, said Jason gave the “gift of valor.” Hagee said the warship will serve as a reminder that freedom “is paid for by the men and women who wear the cloth of this nation.”

POPSLet's Break Down This Letterman/Palin Deal
That's right, Ann Dunham Soetoro was born on 11/29/42, she married Barack Obama, Sr. on 2/2/61, and their son was born on 8/4/61. So lil' Barry would've been conceived somewhere around his mom's 18th birthday, most likely before, with a man who was not her husband. And his parents' subsequent marriage wasn't even legal, because Barack Sr. was still married to a woman in Kenya. Ann was in the same situation then as Bristol is now, except the father hung around a little longer. And she didn't have a seething mob dogging her heels and then running back to their news networks and late-night talk shows. "It doesn't matter which Palin daughter got knocked up in that fictional scenario," you cry. "It's totally irrelevant to the joke!" Hey, don't tell me. Tell Willow Palin. She's the one who went to a baseball game with her mom and dad, and got slammed for it on national TV by a very wealthy and prominent older gentleman who has a history of problems dealing with women.

POPSThe Obama Doctrine: "Don't Blame Me" Secondly, the Obama Doctrine demonstrates Obama’s massively overweening sense of self-importance. Foreign leaders are not idiots -- if they sense they can elicit concessions from America simply by inflating Obama’s confidence, they’ll do it. Even assuming Obama’s supposed international popularity, that popularity does not translate into a better international deal for America. Foreign leaders can stroke Obama’s ego while undermining America’s strength in the world. The world’s fawning patronage of Barack Obama does not mean the world will treat America as an ally. That is because nations view each other historically, not based on what they’ve done the past few months. Viewing Germany as a peaceful socialistic country, ignoring its fascist past, . . . Viewing Russia as a corrupt mobocracy ignores its undercurrents of communistic thuggery, relics of the Soviet era.

POPSObama's women reveal his secret <"Obama's choice of wife is a failsafe indicator of his own sentiments. Spouses do not necessarily share their likes, but they must have their hatreds in common. Obama imbibed this hatred with his mother's milk.">

POPSFirst family reflects a nation's diversity I've been happy and proud that so many NON-"people of color" voted for Obama -- now I know he's really a man of the future with his race-blind family. According to anthropologists and DNA experts, race is a nonscientific contruct of culture. We are all part of the same species - Homo Sapiens. In the future, intermarriages from easy travel will tend to make our descendents "beige and beautiful" - like Malia and Sasha.
