In reply to the discussion: Please check in if you oppose the massive surveillance being conducted on American citizens [View all]graham4anything
(11,464 posts)36. I find the entire issue persecution of the president which started with Rev. Wright, and has
obstructed everything since 2008.
first Rev. Wright, then Bill Ayers, then his birth certificate, then 1000 other smear
this issue, the SCOTUS has already decided was NOT illegal.
other courts have found it NOT illegal.
Just another day since 2008 and the election of Barack Obama.
it wears thin.
has nothing to do with a simple thread. Has to do with everything.
No other President has had such persecution.
And FDR and Lincoln were beloved, yet, did things that were far worse. Yet neither was persecuted from day one like President Obama.
And what would Paul Ryan as President and James Inhoffee as VP do for people?
