Cunningham on Obama: "What we have here is this little boy who grew up in Jakarta, Indonesia, at the age of 6 to 10, rejected by his own father, rejected by his own mother, rejected by his stepfather, raised by his grandparents"

      wow, yet another perfect example of looks before substance. Too bad they didn't use the same litmus test for Palin and her teenage daughter. How did that marraige turn out?

      Oh, that's right. As soon as the election was over, so was the phony engagement.

        Actually you can take Cunningham's discription and turn it around to show how much Obama has achieved and overcome, quite an accomplishment.  But BTW , it doesn't change the fact that your comments are as classless as Cunningham's.

          Well, looking at the video clip, he didn't mean it in a nice way at all. He seemed to refer to it in a disparaging way during the campaign, saying "Obama's father abandoned him. That's what black father do. They leave".

            I was not trying to defend his comments at all, if you notice I commented that the posters comments were as classless as Cunningham. I think that the obstacles that Obama had to overcome should inspire others to achieve. My post was meant to mock both Cunningham and snoopy's words.

              Why don't you condemn your fellow reich-winger instead pathetically and desperately attempt to spin his vile remarks for something they are not?  The reason...because you are vile pathetic reich-wing hack.  Thanks for proving that, moron.

              I agree with you for the most part.  I don't think that's what Cunningham was trying to say - I think he was just making a vicious, gratuitious, personal attack.  But, I do think where Obama has come from and what he has achieved says alot of great things about our country no matter which side of the aisle you are on. 

              Unless, of course you are Cunningham then you will attack anyone for anything at anytime because you have no scruples and you see that anything is acceptable as long as you are defending your "team".  I also would not pretend to understand the complex relationship that Obama and his mother had.

          Actually, you can only turn it around if you don't quote him in his entirety. By the time he stops talking, Cunningham has branded Obama with words that most people wouldn't find flattering and has labelled the Obama administration "disreputable" and "dishonest". So your idea doesn't work.

          Actually you can't take Cunningham's discription and turn it around to show how much Obama has achieved and overcome....because the vile reich-winger wasn't make that point.  You're desperate and you failed.    But BTW , it doesn't change the fact that Cunningham's comments are as so classless and you REFUSE to condemn them, rather, you attack a poster.  You typical water carrying terrrorist.   Go play on the freeway.

                  What the hell is wrong with all these people?  FairLiberal, normally the stuff you say makes me retch, but in this case you're clearly in the right.  I read your comment as "Cunningham shouldn't insult Obama, he should be impressed by how much he's overcome."  But everyone insists on going on the attack ASAP.

                   And can we please have a moratorium on this "reich-wing" nonsense?  It's a tedious and hateful smear.  Yes, there are parts of the conservative platform that areuncomfortably close to fascism, but that's not what I get from "reich-wing."  All I hear is "HAHA Repubs=Nazis LOL!"  Terms like Repukes and Rethuglicans are obnoxious, but "reich-wing" is beyond stupid and straight-up offensive.  I swear, this is one of the smartest websites around, yet some of the commenters invoke Godwin's law as often as they breathe.  And please don't tell me "well, the Repukes call Obama a Commie-Nazi all the time!"  Yes, they do, and I prefer not to crawl around in the mud with them.  If you disagree, I can only assume you're in favor of torturing prisoners, since they'd do it to our soldiers.

                    I don't think I agree with you on the torture part, but I would certainly agree with you on the reich part.  I actually am OK with people using their -isms as long as they can understand and defend them.  It just gets tiresome when they are used to attack a group of people, though, because once you drop into name-calling without any kind of explanation you have lost the argument.

      "He's cutting back on defense"

      On what planet is a 4% increase "cutting back"?

      Oh dear, I wasn't aware that Obama is going to leave with a debt of 44 trillion dollars.

      Hannity doesn't understand math.
