I have a mixed daughter and she thanked me 1 time, saying "I have the best of both worlds." Perhaps he feels the same- it is not a put down of 1 side or the other- if you don’t understand now, you probably never will. It is the black that dominates as a color, not the white- therefore lots of mixed people go by the stronger of the 2 colors, has nothing to do with if they are pleased or trying to put down 1 side. I think this is such a trivial matter, myself. What in the world does it matter where he was born or where he lived? Why would you call him a half and half- you my sweetie are showing a lot of racism. Get yourself under better control, ok? You can have a stroke by getting out of sorts like you are doing. You seem to be fuming.

I see nothing racist about half and half......
@2
I have to be half in the bag
before even looking at Hannity.
Well, you got it half right anyway
Obama does want you to think he wil rescue you from yourself because without him, you can't think for yourself. You need government darling.....they will pay your way in life and all you gotta do is sick there and look pretty and not do a darn thing!!!
your right...half way
He probably wasn't talking about a date with his wife as "government." you're right about that but it ends there. Since his date isn't government, it should not be coming out of my tax dollars.
LOL. That was almost witty...about HALF.
half the story

More than half of U.S. docs want it, too.
This is from March of last year. Maybe even more of them are in favor of it now.

Half of U.S. still believes Iraq had WMD
Half of U.S. still believes Iraq had WMD
By CHARLES J. HANLEY, AP Special Correspondent Sun Aug 6, 7:43 PM ET
Do you believe in Iraqi WMD? Did
Saddam Hussein's government have weapons of mass destruction in 2003?
Half of America apparently still thinks so, a new poll finds, and experts see a raft of reasons why: a drumbeat of voices from talk radio to die-hard bloggers to the Oval Office, a surprise headline here or there, a rallying around a partisan flag, and a growing need for people, in their own minds, to justify the war in
Iraq.
People tend to become independent of reality in these circumstances, says opinion analyst Steven Kull.
The reality in this case is that after a 16-month, $900-million-plus investigation, the U.S. weapons hunters known as the Iraq Survey Group declared that Iraq had dismantled its chemical, biological and nuclear arms programs in 1991 under U.N. oversight. That finding in 2004 reaffirmed the work of U.N. inspectors who in 2002-03 found no trace of banned arsenals in Iraq.
Despite this, a Harris Poll released July 21 found that a full 50 percent of U.S. respondents — up from 36 percent last year — said they believe Iraq did have the forbidden arms when U.S. troops invaded in March 2003, an attack whose stated purpose was elimination of supposed WMD. Other polls also have found an enduring American faith in the WMD story.
I'm flabbergasted, said Michael Massing, a media critic whose writings dissected the largely unquestioning U.S. news reporting on the Bush administration's shaky WMD claims in 2002-03.
This finding just has to cause despair among those of us who hope for an informed public able to draw reasonable conclusions based on evidence, Massing said.
I watched about half of it. Very funny.
I don't watch the show often, but I always enjoy it when I do, so I might just start watching more. I watched his comedy special on HBO the other night and laughed my butt off.

How do we know the rest of is true.
Sounds like hearsay, to me.
Obviously you skipped over half my post
I don't choose what a woman does with her body. But I know what MY God says about it and it is wrong, plain and simple. Therefore I am against it being passed. I'm sorry if that offends you.
Only about 1% of abortions are performed due to rape. 1%. And there is proven psychological evidence that most women who keep the baby have been successfully treated and are able to see the baby for what he or she is: an innocent victim. You cannot blame the child for an act that someone else has committed, and you can't approve homicide of an unborn child to make sure another human's mental health is okay.
Outside of rape and incest, abortion is just an easy answer to an inconvenient accident. Just like everything else in this nation. Let's find the easy answer. No one wants to take responsibility anymore.
Pretty soon we'll be "aborting" the elderly because they aren't worth caring for anymore and are "inconvenient". What a sad world we live in nowadays.
Too bad that over half the voters disagree with you.

But a physician half-way across the country.... sm
cannot. That is the whole point of a centralized computerized system. Just because your hospital currently has such a system in place, as many do, does not mean that is the system of the future. Obama wants the health care record to be portable, meaning it can be accessed from anywhere the patient may need care.
They voted for him because he was half white?
that is the stupidest thing I have ever read. And you speak for the majority? Get real.
Okay, then should they VOTE? My half-sister in

Keeping the glass half full SM
isn't about any of the things you name. It comes from inside, a peace of spirit and soul. It needs no outside influence except, in my case, my love for God and his for me. My glass has always been half full. And it always will be because He is with me always.
His web of half-truths is going to start unraveling.
His whole policy seems to be hide, deny, backtrack, CYA, deny some more, and confuse with a half-truths and misstatements that imply what he wants people to believe. When he gets called on it, they say we never said that. They didn't have to, they implied it until the cows came home. What do you want to bet that when investigative hearings start, the whole story changes again?
And I suspect half of it will end when you return to school --
as you claim you will be doing soon (I hope). 
Liberal rags do not represent at least half of the U.S.
You may base that on the fact that right now it's about 50/50 Obama versus McCain. That doesn't mean that the liberal rags, liberal bloggers, MSNBC and the rest represent 50% of the people in our country. Fortunately for the rest of us, there are democrafts who don't agree with the views of the liberal rags, with the tactics of the liberal bloggers, and with the extreme bias of a "news" organization such as MSNBC. Most of the time when you can't document, it is because you are getting someone's OPINION, and not fact, and therefore, you cannot document.
Benjamin Franklin said “Believe NONE of what you hear and HALF of what you see.” sm
Everyone on this board should heed these very wise words, especially in this day and age of the internet. No one on line is who they seem. Behind the scenes, there are people in high and low places stirring the pot to make you believe the other party is not playing fair. I just wish we could stick to the facts and the issues concerning all of us instead of petty personal attacks by both sides, but that would be too much to ask as many people look at these boards to get their entertainment and direct our attention away from what is really important.

My at-home pays half what my inhouse job did.
.
Man! I spent only a half hour looking at that site!
I could have spent more time but I'm was limited to the half hour. This man spent a lot of time deciphering and examining the certificate. I wonder if they will call on him to testify (probably not).
that doesn't make him white...my son is half black
He's not a white man, I don't know why you would even bring that into the conversation.
And half the country believes this....good grief....nm
I know I just took an inhouse job that pays me half what I make at home -
I am getting desperate to ensure that I have at least some income. My home-based job line counts are so low lately and I know it is because people are staying home. I am the only money maker in the family and I have to do something.
I am in college to get a degree to get out of this education, but have at least 3 quarters more before I am employable, and then who knows if I will be able to find a job then or not; with the way things are looking, more than likely NOT...
I wonder how it is going to help/hurt the economy and the illegal alien problem - I mean, will it make them go home or will they just draw more benefits off our government? If they go home, does that hurt or or help us?
I am being serious here - not trying to start an argument - just doing some thinking.

Fact remains, she has made executive decisions for a year and a half...
as governor, and before that as a mayor. He has made none. Zero, zilch, nada. The only time she will "legislate" is if she has to vote to break a tie Not hardly the same thing as running a state...or a country.
Yep, but it was straight time. No time and a half
DHL is GERMAN OWNED. And, company was located on Snotsdale, I mean Scottsdale, AZ which means. Labor laws in Arizona suck. Right to work state. Basically a company can do whatever they want to do with you and if you do not like it, then quit and find another job.
LOL. There is a wee bit of irony there.
Does anyone else see the irony? sm
I was watching tv last night and saw several commercials for various "tax relief" companies/attorneys who claimed that they could help tax payers negotiate a lower tax with the IRS, thereby eliminating the majority of their tax burden. Some of these were likely superinflated examples (owe 3M, pay 1M), but I have to wonder, if our income taxes are supposed to be a major factor in financing our government, why is this allowed to happen? Why are some people (those who are financially able to employ suce a company) allowed to dodge the lion's portion of their income taxes while the rest of us poor schmucks have to pay through the nose and can't even get a lousy deduction here and there because we "make too much money"?????? 
Where do I sign up?

Irony - USA freeing other countries while we head towards socialism/communism. We have already begun to not be a free country anymore. Maybe some other countries will have to free us.
the irony of it all
you trust Barney Frank on this?? He is, of course, the guy you want to trust with anything monetary. And better yet, YOU took it from Fox News!! And you just cannot be naive enough to think that they will not be costs to taxpayers, can you? By the way, that $250K figure is already down to $200K, so the initial figure was less than true, and there is nothing to say it will stop there. You want to "what and see." I say "look at the track record of what he has said and what he has then said differently." And Obama is not saying health care will be available to everyone. Did you see the physician last night who said that some people would not get the extended or multiple ICU stays because they are just too costly, that sometimes it is better to just take the pain pill and leave it at that, in other words just die. What do you think he meant by that, cuz I know what that meant to me. Did you notice Obama did not actually the questions about end of life care, simply saying that there would be problems to address? did you see how he danced around the question about what kind of care he would provide for his wife and children instead of actually answering it?
Name calling? Point out 1 instance of "nasty name calling" in response to your posts
Your childlike accusations are patently false - but you are indeed welcome to your own opinion. I just don't have to agree.
They already ARE allowed to stay silent. That's the irony of this.
It's just one crazy loon who wants to foist HIS version of the world on the rest of us, which is no better than ramming religion down a person's throat. What about those who wish to say the pledge, now they can't. It was better the way it was... Say it if you want, don't say it if you don't want to. That way everybody has the freedom to choose.
No, I didnt misstype....attempt at irony. lol. nm

Who's doing the name calling here? LOL
Try reading a little closer!
I said it was an ignorant post. There is a lesson in semantics here:Surly you can tell the difference between "ignorant poster" and ignorant post?
My post was not "name calling" - I simply pointed out the poster's opinions were not based in known fact.
As to name calling, I would point out your use of the term 'naïve' - what part of my post criticising Obama A DEMOCRAT - didn't you read? Why would you assume I give the Clintons a pass?
both parties are corrupt to the gills and Americans in general are ignorant of what they are actually do to us ALL and to the world.
Read a little closer before you rant :)
