Yep, born in Hawaii, part of the USA, to an American mother. Glad you finally figured that out, what a relief!

Now about Ted Cruz, born in Canada, how does that work?
However the laws on the books in 1961 are what one must look at .
And the article said he was raised by his mother & mother 's parent in Wichita , Kansas , not Hawaii .

Great job by her, too bad most of the zombies in the audience missed it. :p

Watch the adults behind her as she continues. Don't appear to be enjoying this most auspicious occasion.


Another major influence on the Prussian Education System was Johann Gottlieb Fichte who said the following:

"If you want to influence [the student] at all, you must do more than merely talk to him; you must fashion him, and fashion him in such a way that he simply cannot will otherwise than what you wish him to will."

source: Address to the German Nation 1807', The General Nature of the New Education, Open Court Publishing Company, 1922' page 21.

In that context, what some call education, others would call pure mind control.

It’s personal: Obamas carried $120,000 student loan debt for decades

This article forgets about that well paying job flotus had , you know right after bhos was elected senator . And as I understand it , they haven't found anyone to replace her yet .
Student loans are given with gov't backing and cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. Why in God's name would colleges NOT raise prices and rip off America's young people?
Maybe kids today shouldn't worry about tuition costs and just keep working on that million dollar book deal to pay off their loans.

December 18, 2008: President Bush announced that an "orderly" bankruptcy was one option being considered for both General Motors and Cerberus-owned Chrysler LLC. Sources said that setting up this type of "orderly" bankruptcy would be complicated because it would not only involve talks with the automakers, but also the unions and other stakeholders would have to be involved.

December 19, 2008: President Bush approved a bailout plan and gave General Motors and Chrysler $13.4 billion in financing from TARP (Troubled Assets Relief Program) funds, as well as $4 billion to be "withdrawn later."

I'll give you Bush initiated it, which I don't think he should've, but 13,4 B + 4 B doesn't equal 19.1 B. So someone took a bad idea and ran with it.

I followed the case......eye witnesses...... maybe 2 and one of them is Z.
The girlfriend on the phone said she heard the grass .

When the police didn't arrest him at first, they were right. No crime was committed.
One of the eyewitnesses (conveniently for the other) ended up dead and dead men make no police statements.

Too Have Become Disillusioned

By
Matt Patterson (Newsweek Columnist – Opinion Writer)



Years
from now, historians may regard the 2008 election of Barack Obama as an
inscrutable and disturbing phenomenon, the result of a baffling breed of mass
hysteria akin perhaps to the witch craze of the Middle Ages. How, they will
wonder, did a man so devoid of professional accomplishment beguile so many into
thinking he could manage the world's largest economy, direct the world's most
powerful military, execute the world's most consequential job?


Imagine
a future historian examining Obama's pre-presidential life: ushered into and
through the Ivy League, despite unremarkable grades and test scores along the
way; a cushy non-job as a "
community
organizer
;"
a brief career as a state legislator devoid of legislative achievement (and in
fact nearly devoid of his attention, less often did he vote "present"); and
finally an unaccomplished single term in the United States Senate, the entirety
of which was devoted to his presidential ambitions.


He
left no academic legacy in academia, authored no signature legislation as a
legislator. And then there is the matter of his troubling associations:
the
white-hating, America-loathing
preacher who for decades served as Obama's "spiritual mentor;" a real-life,
actual terrorist who served as Obama's colleague and political sponsor. It is
easy to imagine a future historian looking at it all and asking: how on Earth
was such a man elected president?


Not
content to wait for history, the incomparable Norman Podhoretz addressed the
question recently in the Wall Street Journal: To be sure, no white candidate who
had close associations with an outspoken
hater
of
America
like Jeremiah Wright
and
an unrepentant terrorist like
Bill
Ayers
,
would have lasted a single day. But because Mr. Obama was black, and therefore
entitled in the eyes of liberal Dom to have hung out with protesters against
various American injustices, even if they were 'a bit' extreme, he was given
a
pass.
Let that sink in: Obama was given a
pass -
held to a lower standard - because of the color of his skin.


Podhoretz
continues: And in any case, what did such ancient history matter when he was
also so articulate and elegant and (as he himself had said) "non-threatening,"
all of which gave him a fighting chance to become the first black president and
thereby to lay the curse of racism to rest?


Podhoretz
puts his finger, I think, on the animating pulse of the Obama phenomenon -
affirmative action. Not in the legal sense, of course. But certainly in the
motivating sentiment behind all affirmative action laws and regulations, which
are designed primarily to make white people, and especially white liberals, feel
good about themselves.


Unfortunately,
minorities often suffer so that whites can pat themselves on the back. Liberals
routinely admit minorities to schools for which they are not qualified, yet take
no responsibility for the inevitable poor performance and high drop-out rates
which follow. Liberals don't care if these minority students fail; liberals
aren't around to witness the emotional devastation and deflated self-esteem
resulting from the
racist
policy that is affirmative action.
Yes, racist.
Holding someone to a separate standard merely because of the color of his skin -
that's affirmative action in a nutshell, and if that isn't racism, then nothing
is.


And
that is what America did to Obama. True, Obama himself was never troubled by his
lack of achievements, but why would he be? As many have noted, Obama was told he
was good enough for Columbia despite undistinguished grades at Occidental; he
was told he was good enough for the US Senate despite a mediocre record in
Illinois; he was told he was good enough to be president despite no record at
all in the Senate. All his life, every step of the way, Obama was told he was
good enough for the next step, in spite of ample evidence to the
contrary.


What
could this breed if not the sort of empty
narcissism on
display every time Obama speaks? In 2008, many who agreed that he lacked
executive qualifications
nonetheless
raved about Obama's oratory skills, intellect, and cool
characte
r.
Those people – conservatives included - ought now to be deeply
embarrassed.


The
man thinks and speaks in the hoariest of clichés, and that's when he has
his
Teleprompters in
front of him; when the prompter is absent he can barely think or speak at
all.
Not
one
original
idea has ever issued from his mouth -

it's all warmed-over Marxism of
the kind that has failed over and over again for 100 years
. (An
example is his 2012 campaign speeches which are almost word for word his 2008
speeches)


And
what about his character?
Obama
is constantly blaming anything and everything else for his
troubles
.
Bush did it; it was bad luck; I inherited this mess. Remember, he wanted the
job, campaigned for the task. It is embarrassing to see a president so willing
to advertise his own powerlessness, so comfortable with his own incompetence.
(The other day he actually came out and said no one could have done anything to
get our economy and country back on track). But really, what were we to
expect?
The
man has never been responsible for anything, so how do we expect him to act
responsibly?


In
short: our president is a
small-minded man,
with neither the temperament nor the intellect to handle his job. When you
understand that, and only when you understand that, will the
current
erosion of liberty and prosperity
make
sense. It could not have gone otherwise with such an
impostor in
the Oval Office.

Moreluck, I suppose you realize that Matt Peterson didn't write that for Newsweek, or the Washington Post, as also claimed in the wing nut emails. He wrote that for 'American Thinker', a far right rag that is full of conspiracy theories and pseudo-science.

Carry on.
