Q: Did Obama write that he would "stand with the Muslims" and that he nurses a "pervasive sense of grievance and animosity" toward whites?

Isn't nasty and strange rumor-mongering that has been going on tedious? Yeesh. Thanks for posting this with that wonderful photo.

The smiles of a rising man :)

It's shots like this that I really love. The 'Real' smiles in action instead of those staring right at the camera which sometimes looks pretty fake to me :P

Lots of rumors affecting both sides of the isle anymore. Seems to be "normal" these days.

Hey, stop by my blog...the last 2 days I've posted a true story about the first of my family to come to the west coast in the 1850's written by one of the family members.
