Very nice.

I guess it's just too damn bad that the ideas put forth in that video is completely anathema  to our current chief executive and his administration.

Just to be controversial, what is the most well known symbol of America around the world ??

Could it be the Statue of Liberty by any chance ????

Where did this come from, why the written words on it.  What does this Lady of the lamp stand for and how did she come to be standing in NY City ????

Was this a American thing to be built to welcome those in need ?  Did we Americans pay for her to to be built to honor Liberty and Justice ?

Damn history has placed our Lady into a web of confusion for our people.   Few know how how she got where she is and few care.

She this guiding light to freedom was a guift from FRANCE, a country we laugh and make fun about.

So when is Obama going to ask the French to take it back.

Winston Ghurchill was half American.  Every time Obama looked at that bust, he was reminded that he himself was only half American...and not even half the man Churchill was.

Obama was not raised up to be an American.  He was raised by his step father in Indonesia and late went to visit his birth fathers country.   Later he moved to live with Grandma in Hawaii and on to a interesting life on the main land.

So why are we surprised Obama is so screwed up as a President of a country he was not raised in by American parents??  

Then after settling down in American culture in college he finds drugs and booze for the first time, since Hawaii.

All American history must have been new to him taught by liberals that never mentioned Ben Franklin and he really has no idea of what America was and is.  

New to this country, no parents or grand parents to tell him of the struggle to make America, the good or the bad times.    Only thing he was taught came from Kenya and  the British Colonies and the problems of Indonesia.  

He ended up in Chicago, a hot bed of ideas he had been taught as a child.   He married a woman that has as little past as he does, where and who her family are or were are just as murky as Obamas.

All the mistakes and grand insults to Americas friends come from ignorance of American History.  In no way is Obama an American, but by default.

Thank you and Eupher for the Hi 5's.....but I may have left out the more important reason Obama and the left hates Churchill.

The speech where he said, "All across Europe, an Iron Curtain has fallen". He named the problem and started the cold war thus stopping or at least slowing the progression of their beloved communism.
