The Most Interesting Man in the World


No, it ain't him.


He was born in Hawaii, but some say he was born in Kenya, while others say he was born in Indonesia.

He studied at Harvard then wound up as a community organizer in Chicago.

Nobody knows what he organized.

He wrote two autobiographies before anybody knew who he was.

He attended a church for 20 years where the pastor shouted out, "God Damn America" and made references to "rich white people".

Yet he never heard those words spoken.

On the contrary, he convinced the American people that he would bring us all together and get past our racial divisions.

He launched his first political campaign for state senator by simply walking into the home of "someone who happened to live in the neighborhood" (Bill Ayres).

In 2004, he was an unknown state senator in Illinois running for US Senator and was the keynote speaker at the Democrat convention. Four years later, he would be elected President.

As a one-term US senator, he spent that entire term running for president.

While campaigning for president, he even took his campaign to Europe. Speaking in front of the Winged Victory monument in Berlin, he addressed the "people of the world".

Now as President, he is not only the President of the United States, he is the President of General Motors and Chrysler. He is also the president of our banking system.

Under his presidency, money has begun to finally grow on trees (government trees).

He has directed his government to sue a state for trying to catch illegal aliens.

He loves to preface his statements with, "I will not rest until....", then heads off to yet another vacation to rest.

He is....... the most interesting man in the world.

Where is your proof that Wright said this more than once?

And you're still being completely disingenuous about his remarks regarding Bill Ayers. What you're doing is called quote-mining, and when you see the quote in its full context, it doesn't sound the way you make it sound.

He has directed his government to sue a state for trying to catch illegal aliens.

Ummm...no. I'm not even sure that I agree with him on this issue, but I know that this is hardly what it's all about.

Regarding his vacations - you think he's gotten even close to the amount of vacations Bush took in the same period of his presidency? I don't seem to recall you mocking Bush for that.

There's more, but I think that's enough for now.

Or are you going to use the "It's a joke" defense, which excuses shoddy fact-checking?

Lance,

What do you really think Wright was saying all the other times?

"God bless America"?

Bill Ayres-That's a direct quote. When asked about his relationship with Ayres, he described him as a "guy who lived in the neighborhood".

I don't know how many vacations Bush took, but I'll bet you most of them were back to his ranch in Texas as opposed to Cape Cod, Maine, Spain (Michelle)and the others.

The point is, I don't know and you don't know either. I sent you a link a long time ago from a guy who had visited on a few occasions, and that's not the kind of thing he heard. You ignored that.

We've also done the Ayers thing before. I can't explain it again.

Lance,

You know as well as I do that every time Wright opens his mouth, poison comes out. And you want to accept Obama's explantion that he never heard it-which btw, he contradicted himself on during the campaign.
