good too see you back

Hi...thanks...I think? :)

close "to home". is that because your President (in your view) is not an American.

You might be interested to know the # of times Obama previously told people (or led people to believe) he was not born in the United States. It was often to seek different academic or political benefits.

When I say "hits close to home" I am not speaking from a sense of geography but a sense of ideology.

For the record, I say I do not care where he was born. I think our laws have to change regarding who is eligible.

So it is not a matter of whether I think he is "an American". It is more a matter of whether he understands the history of the United States and whether he has the first clue what lower and middle-income Americans go through. He makes as many gaffes on our history as Sarah Palin, and yet the general media somehow portrays him as "brilliant" when he is not.

And I think if your going to attack Ho Chi Minh for slaughtering Vietnamese farmers you might want to take a look at the USAF as well.

I know about our involvement in Vietnam. It is certainly not a good part of our history (nor our bad record on Civil Rights) and I won't defend it. The "numbers game" can often seem cold, but the numbers on total deaths by Minh/VC/Communist forces (both before and right after 1975) are far, far higher.
