cudakite Loc: San Antonio

Man, and I thought Mr. Bush the younger what a piece of work. Seems as if even half these are true, Mr. Obama should be impeached and possibly imprisoned! Grrrrr!!

dirtpusher Loc: tulsa oklahoma

President to have a social security number belonging to another man,
from a state he has never lived in.

It is a list of made up bull $hit.

The right does this sort of thing they get off on it!

Robert Graybeal Loc: Myrtle Beach

Prove any of them are false!

dirtpusher Loc: tulsa oklahoma

prove any them true.

President GW Bush received a report that there were over 100,000 cattle guards in Colorado. Because Colorado ranchers protested his proposed changes in grazing policies, he ordered the Secretary of Interior to fire half of the guards immediately. Before the Secretary could respond, and presumably straighten him out, Colorado's Congress-woman Pat Schroeder intervened with a request that before any were fired, they be given six months of retraining.

tlbuljac Loc: Oklahoma

This time you stepped in it...haha, oh yes, your stuttering again

Ambrose Loc: North America

Did you just cut and paste this, or do you have and actual source?

If you are so gullible as to believe this list without first using your God-given brain to do a little critical thinking, then you're ignorance is alarming.

Let's take the first three.

First President to apply for college aid as a foreign student, then deny he was a foreigner.
False This was from a viral email that was purely fictional "AP" story created during the "birther" movement. It was dated April 1.....April First...get it? There is no record in existence that Obama ever received college aid.

First President to have a social security number belonging to another man, from a state he has never lived in.
FalseThis is simply made up. There is no documentation of this except that he does have a Social Securty number and it is his own.

First President to preside over a cut to the credit-rating of the United States.
True The downgrade was brought on by the market's lack of trust in what congress could do. S&P said “political brinkmanship” in the debate over the debt had made the U.S. government “less stable, less effective and less predictable.” In other words, S&P directly blames Congress.

So,
1. Use critical thinking. Your team isn't always right and their team isn't always wrong. Blindly believing either one make you a poor citizen.
2. Consider the entire picture. Though there may be truth to some things, know WHY they are true and whether or not someone is spinning the story.

The only thing that truly frightens me about this country right now is the disturbing number of citizens who put blind faith in their parties and the pundits and act like rats following the urban legends and pied pipers.

Don't be an idiot. Wake up and think for yourself.

Robert Graybeal Loc: Myrtle Beach

that's an Obama joke, all you did was change the names

Michael Hartley Loc: Deer Capital of Georgia

I don't see how he's had time to do all these things, he's been too busy doing everything he said he wasn't going to do.

Course, he never said anything about vacations.
