New Obama button features his birth certificate
TAMPA – Last week, the re-election campaign of President Barack Obama went ballistic when Republican Mitt Romney, in his home state of Michigan, quipped that no one ever asked for his birth certificate.
Apparently, outrage can be assuaged by a profitable copyright.
This afternoon, my other-media colleague Jamie Dupree sent word that the Obama campaign store is now selling campaign buttons and bumperstickers featuring the president’s birth certificate:
The price tag: $5.

If you do not believe the statements that I posted above: I challenge you to do some REAL serious in-depth research to prove my statements are either accurate or inaccurate.
If you are capable of being honest and unbiased; all I ask is that you report on this blog any facts that are inaccurate AND any & all facts that are proven to be accurate based on your research.
The most pertinent question is are you man/woman enough to truly accept the challenge????

There are business people out here that are working their gluteus maximus off to survive in an economy that is hurting and all our future politicians want to do is play games with non issue items instead of giving a clear vision of what they would do to help US out of our slumping economy. We need leaders not PLAYERS!

OK. Has any Dixiecrat seen Romney’s “Certificate of Live Birth?” Even if you did, how do you know that it is real? For all you know, he could be a Brazil Boy, but that would be right up the Dixiecrats’ alley.

@Thomas-Like your comments at 8:15.We need leaders.All these games they(politicans) play have never improved our nation.90% play games and MAYBE 10% try to do what is right.WE are in big trouble until we get character and honesty in our government.This goes for both parties.

This is the likely future:
First off I am third party, so I have no real favorable bias to either party. The Republicans will get a small lift from their convention, then there will be the DNC which will about equal the RNC. Mitt will continue the pattern of outgaining Obama for the remainder of the campaign. This will provide Mitt with enough money to buy ads in swing states that will increase his numbers in those states. While the Akin affair cools off, Mitt’s numbers with women will start to slowly, but surely improve. He will lose the female vote come November, but not by a large margin at all. At the moment, neither candidate has announced a complete economic plan for the upcoming future. However, as time has told, people’s distrust of the incumbent in terms of economic progress in a slow economy will tilt that vote towards Romney. Obama will likely be favored by those who put international policy as a top factor in determining their vote.
And my conclusion, Romney will win the election in terms of electoral vote, but will be edged out by Obama in the popular vote. Romney wins.

I see why you libs are so angry these days.
Gas prices on the rise
Food prices on the rise
Little to no economic growth
Unemployment up
and finally the new Washington post/ABC poll now has Romney up by 1 before the convention with Dems out polling Republicans 31% to 22%.

I believe your analysis to be good except for one point; “Obama will likely be favored by those who put international policy as a top factor in determining their vote.” It is difficult to accept that people will believe Obama better in this area considering his inaction against a nuclear Iran, his statement to an increasingly militant Russia and the disdain with which he has treated some of our long-time allies. Our allies are confused and our enemies are happy.

In case you wondered:
A temple garment (also referred to as garments, or Mormon underwear)[1] is a type of underwear worn by a vast majority of adherents of the Latter Day Saint movement, after they have taken part in the Endowment ceremony. Garments are worn both day and night and are required for any previously endowed adult to enter a temple.[2] The undergarments are viewed as a symbolic reminder of the covenants made in temple ceremonies and are seen as either a symbolic or literal source of protection from the evils of the world.[3]
The garment is given as part of the washing and anointing portion of the endowment. Today, the temple garment is worn primarily by members of LDS Church and by members of some Mormon fundamentalist churches. Adherents consider them to be sacred and not suitable for public display. Anti-Mormon activists have occasionally publicly displayed or defaced temple garments to advance their opposition to the LDS Church.[4]
Temple garments are sometimes derided as “magic underwear” by non-Mormons, but Mormons view this terminology to be misleading and derogatory.[5][6]

Very interesting (and telling)…….almost two hours and noone (zero people) have accepted my very reasonable challenge!
The truth is difficult to ignore IF you are truly informed (and smart enough to confirm statements from both parties prior to forming a solid opinion)………the problem is that being truly informed requires effort and time to conduct real in-depth research. Too many lazy and biased people out there.
There is a common trend I have noticed: Informed Americans gradually become Republican as they get older….I wonder why this happens….could it possibly be that people learn over time due to life experiences and develop wisdom as they become more informed regarding the truth & reality??

I was eating lunch with my young granddaughter and thought I’d ask her if she knew what the 20th of February celebrates.
She said, “Why, that’s President’s Day, Granddad!” (She is a smart kid.)
I then asked her, “What does President’s Day mean?” I was waiting for something about Washington or Lincoln … etc.
She replied, “President’s Day is when President Obama steps out of the White House, looks around, and if he sees his shadow we have another year of 8%+ unemployment.”
You know, it hurts and burns when hot coffee spurts out your nose…

Anyone engaging with the likes of CC & TD here is an exercise in FUTILITY. Their Job here is not to discuss any issue at hand. The intent of these (2) individuals are to sow feelings of HATRED and Prejudice. This is the current strategy of the Romney campaign. They feel such discussions will provide an advantage for Mitt based on White anger. Let US all not fall into that False Narrative
that serves NO ONE! Especially Mitt ” The Proud ONE”.
If you do believe me look back, at the many comments posted by cc & td. You will see a pattern developing.
