This is just a joke, but when white people call Mr. Obama, Hussein they show just how they feel about blacks, but if somebody black say something about white people are this U.S it become a race problem. The truth in America is that their is a race problem, and it is deep, but people dont want to deal with that.
Why do you need to deal with it? "Them People" will always be different and in no way can they assimilate into the national majority. We are having the same problems here in Spain as you do in the US. The Monkeys belong hanging from a tree in Africa not on the streets of Madrid or Washington.

Watergate-Era Judiciary Chief of Staff: Hillary Clinton Fired For Lies, Unethical Behavior
As Hillary Clinton came under increasing scrutiny for her story about facing sniper fire in Bosnia, one question that arose was whether she has engaged in a pattern of lying.
The now-retired general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, who supervised Hillary when she worked on the Watergate investigation, says Hillary’s history of lies and unethical behavior goes back farther – and goes much deeper – than anyone realizes.
Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career.
Why?
“Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week.“She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”
How could a 27-year-old House staff member do all that? She couldn’t do it by herself, but Zeifman said she was one of several individuals – including Marshall, special counsel John Doar and senior associate special counsel (and future Clinton White House Counsel) Bernard Nussbaum – who engaged in a seemingly implausible scheme to deny Richard Nixon the right to counsel during the investigation.
Why would they want to do that? Because, according to Zeifman, they feared putting Watergate break-in mastermind E. Howard Hunt on the stand to be cross-examined by counsel to the president. Hunt, Zeifman said, had the goods on nefarious activities in the Kennedy Administration that would have made Watergate look like a day at the beach – including Kennedy’s purported complicity in the attempted assassination of Fidel Castro.
The actions of Hillary and her cohorts went directly against the judgment of top Democrats, up to and including then-House Majority Leader Tip O’Neill, that Nixon clearly had the right to counsel. Zeifman says that Hillary, along with Marshall, Nussbaum and Doar, was determined to gain enough votes on the Judiciary Committee to change House rules and deny counsel to Nixon. And in order to pull this off, Zeifman says Hillary wrote a fraudulent legal brief, and confiscated public documents to hide her deception.

The brief involved precedent for representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding. When Hillary endeavored to write a legal brief arguing there is no right to representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding, Zeifman says, he told Hillary about the case of Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, who faced an impeachment attempt in 1970.
“As soon as the impeachment resolutions were introduced by (then-House Minority Leader Gerald) Ford, and they were referred to the House Judiciary Committee, the first thing Douglas did was hire himself a lawyer,” Zeifman said.
The Judiciary Committee allowed Douglas to keep counsel, thus establishing the precedent. Zeifman says he told Hillary that all the documents establishing this fact were in the Judiciary Committee’s public files. So what did Hillary do?
“Hillary then removed all the Douglas files to the offices where she was located, which at that time was secured and inaccessible to the public,” Zeifman said. Hillary then proceeded to write a legal brief arguing there was no precedent for the right to representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding – as if the Douglas case had never occurred.
The brief was so fraudulent and ridiculous, Zeifman believes Hillary would have been disbarred if she had submitted it to a judge.
Zeifman says that if Hillary, Marshall, Nussbaum and Doar had succeeded, members of the House Judiciary Committee would have also been denied the right to cross-examine witnesses, and denied the opportunity to even participate in the drafting of articles of impeachment against Nixon.
Of course, Nixon’s resignation rendered the entire issue moot, ending Hillary’s career on the Judiciary Committee staff in a most undistinguished manner. Zeifman says he was urged by top committee members to keep a diary of everything that was happening. He did so, and still has the diary if anyone wants to check the veracity of his story. Certainly, he could not have known in 1974 that diary entries about a young lawyer named Hillary Rodham would be of interest to anyone 34 years later.
But they show that the pattern of lies, deceit, fabrications and unethical behavior was established long ago – long before the Bosnia lie, and indeed, even before cattle futures, Travelgate and Whitewater – for the woman who is still asking us to make her president of the United States.

Because the American public (especially the far left)is hypocritical. They don't want to decrease their reliance on gas, they don't want to buy foreign oil, and they don't want to drill at home, and they support allowing illegal immigrants into our country, therefore demanding even more oil. We can't fix the problem without offending someone, and it is usually the far left screaming about things, even though they have no resolution for the problems.
Do you realize that oil is already being taken from the ground in this country and it is sold overseas! Why do you think if more oil was pumped from the ground here that it would stay here. The oil company that would drill for it would sell it to the highest bidder. They certainly would drill for it to help you and I out. That could very well be China since this country is so far in dept with them.Don't be so naive!

Last year the top 5 oil companies made a collective profit of 123 billion dallars. They got an 18 bllion dollar windfall tax break from our government on top of that.

And most of the people in this country are not even far left or far right. Most of us are right in the middle on just about everything with few exceptions. I want to know what you mean by far left. Please eloborate.

I believe you may be mistaken on this point. There is nothing in the U. S. Constitution forbidding an ex-president of the United States from becoming a vice-president at a later time, regardless of how many terms he served as president.

That's impossible anyways. An ex-president can't be a Vice president. Unless he only served one term.

I believe you may be mistaken on your comment that an ex-president cannot later (after at least one term by another elected president) become a vice-president. There is nothing in the U. S. Constitution forbidding this from happening, regardless of how many terms he served.

If Obama lets Bill get that close, he'd better keep an eye on his wife. :)
