Something seems off here... I believe it's because I've never heard anyone outside the USA refer to Obama as the "leader of the free world".

I was wondering the same thing. Do people outside of the USA even use that phrase?

They do if they have convinced themselves of an imminent Chinese invasion.

Only right-wingers when a GOP president is in power. Or when trying to paint a liberal president as failing that 'title'.

I'm 6'5'', yet my father is 5'11'' and my mom is 5'3''. I must be adopted. On the other hand, Jared Padalecki is 6'4'', so maybe I'm his long-lost half-brother?

My mom was 5' 2" and my dad was 5' 7". I am five foot tall. No idea why we went backwards in height in my family but my mom is my mom even though we aren't the same height. I do have cheekbones so I think that I must be related somehow to Obama's family...maybe the very short side?

No but for real, why are you so obsessed with this conspiracy claim? Do you have any other nutty schemes to enlighten us about, like chemtrails or vaccines or flouride in our water being used to control us?

Rightwingers do. And by that I mean rightwingers not moderate conservatives. It's not heard often.

That's probably because firstly, you're staking your claim on a mighty thin reed (they look alike, omg!), and secondly, you're not worth debating, because you're unable to take aboard views that do not coincide precisely with yours. I've tried to discuss things with you before, but because I didn't agree with you down the line, you got snide. Discussing things with you is really a matter of tossing pearls in front of swine.

Reap what you sow, buddy.

Good question. The best question I've seen you asking on this board. You should have asked it in your OP and left it at that.

Fair point. These days those probably aren't an obstacle to public office.

Why would you even bring it up? I guess that's what my problem here is: you say "pornographer, bisexual, sadomasochist and communist" as though they wee individual bad things, and I can't see why that is, or even why they're relevant. Same with the general gist of this thread: why does the identity of Obama's father matter at all? It's hardly some character weakness or poor reflection on the man himself; we don't exactly get to choose our parents, after all.

What does any of this matter?

Israel is no ally of America; witness Netanyahu's attempt to subvert the American political process in order to cover his own domestic unease and his nation's stupid policies.
