Sad that the Ugly Hedgehog put this on their site. Recent joiner and this makes me wonder why I did. This former and retired JHS and HS and college teacher sees this as gossip in the Junior Highers' bathrooms. No merit to this. No reason for it.Not a list created with intelligence. How sad.

No offense taken. One question: do you collect all your information and insights on public events from UHH contributors here or do you broaden your collective activities to more mainstream expertise (e.g., Foreign Policy; Foreign Affairs; and domestic issues focussed publications)? I enjoy reading your and other's comments as they reinforce the principle of the first amendment: freedom of speech permits one to say the stupidest things (the Supreme Court last year confirmed even the freedom to lie!).

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.

Well, it doesn't offend me, but blind hate is counter productive and gets you nowhere, as I'm sure you understand. You really need to stop and think about how people manipulate facts in order to advance their agendas. You have not given references for any of the statements, so unless/until you do, then I have the option of not accepting any of it.

If you want people to believe what you say, then you must have proof. Of course, your 'proof' may not be proof at all, but rather some ravings from those whose hate has cast a dark cloud over their every thought about him and many others. It's really more sad than anything else because you fear the world you know is disappearing and you are scared to death. Don't be scared. All will be well.

It is kind of odd that you call someone an idiot for relying on cut and paste information. Your first point pertaining to Obamas college aid is a copy and paste from Snopes. Critical thinking: if all of his school records are still sealed how can anyone prove or disprove his aid applications?

Isn't the President responsible for Congress? The S&P clearly indicated it was displeased with the inability of Congress to deal with the financial matters. However, it was Obamas total unwillingness to compromise on any aspect to the budget that put them in that position.

Snopes arguments pertaining to the Social Security number controversy rely on a number of assumptions. The article goes out of its way to disprove the questions pertaining to his SS number.

The only thing in the OP that I know to be untrue is the reference to NASA. The changes in the NASA programs were planned years ago and are progressing accordingly.
