    Check out this video documentary (about 6 minutes long):

    Click Here For The Video

    Three college film students interviewed a BUNCH of their classmates and 42% of the students had 0 idea who Obama is! Some of their reactions were priceless.

    Sad how out of touch some of our youth is!

    I have to say that I don't have a problem with him admitting he USED drugs, I respect him for the honesty. But, he seems to glorify the use or act like it is something normal when I really don't believe it should be normal. I hope that none of my kids ever want to experiment with drugs. A few too many hits of LSD and you may start to believe all CT's and think that Hillary cares for people or something strange like that.

    I cannot wait until Hillary comes into power (not that I like her, she and the Democrats are as dodgy as the Republicans in my opinion) but we have so many Republican supporters here I'm going to have lots and lots of fun with you Republican guys! :p

    If the fake 9/11 Mayor Giuliani is the best you have in opposition you have no chance. :D

    Why not stick one of the Dubya Bush brothers in? Diebold can help. :D

    It's not only Obama who is unknow in the US.
    I came to a Ralph Lauren store the other day. The guy told me that there are 52 stars on the US flag and not 50 as I said. He didn't want to count them on a flag in front of me for any reason
    I went to TN, into a store. A charming lady asked us (my wife and I) if she could help. We responded we just wanted to look around.
    Her:"Oh, you have an accent. Where are you from?"
    Us:" We're from Belgium"
    Her:"mm...Is it in Tennessee?"
    Us:"....[Shocked]....[still shocked]....[getting better]...No"
    Her:" I knew it was another state!"

    Us:".........[still in shock].....

    LOL I know exactly what you mean mate. Us British always view some Americans as strange, most don't even know what is happening out of their own State, let alone country.
    Anywhere outside of the US is often known as "overseas" :D
    To some of them Iraq and Afghanistan consists entirely of terrorists and Israel (although most of them would not know where it is if it hit them on the head) is a friend of the USA.

    Mind you, I met a Canadian guy in South Africa a few years ago that thought that Wales (a country part of the United Kingdom for the benifit of Southern Hicks) was a city in England. LMAO at that!

    They have, it's Hillary of course. But they have to make it look like a contest. :p

    The best you Republicans can offer is Giuliani and he'll get blown away like the fake Republican he is. :D

    If you look at history you (the USA) have been controlled by either a Bush or a Clinton since 1981 (bearing in mind that George H. W Bush was the real man calling the shots under the Reagan Presidency from 1981 - 1989.)

    When you do a bit of research it is not very difficult to see that only a select few families are controlling your country mate. ;)

    Surprised many more people cannot see it to be honest with you.
    Obama is too black, Giuliani is too fake and McCain is too hopeless.

    God help us all.

    Another great worthless post mate.

    Keep them coming!!!

    I can see that 5,000 posts coming sooner than you expected. :p

    You might even surpass your mentor GTech if you carry on like this. By then you will be an exact clone of him, if you are not that already. ;)

    How about Ron Paul? Even you might be able to support him AGS but the chance of him receiving the Republican nomination are slim to none.

    I've said it before mate he's worth supporting because in a world of corrupt politicians he is an honest man who would actually care for the people of the USA, that is a breath of fresh air.

    But you are absolutely correct in your slim to none prediction. He has got absolutely no chance at all.

    These days it is not a question of right and left, it's a question of right and wrong.

    AGS naturally if Ron Paul is honest , his chances are zero. How in heck can he support the power of the elite if he cant even lie to the masses

    1. The keyword was 'care', not 'count'. If d16man cares, then your debunked.
    2. Making a complicated guess is not to debunk.

    That is really sad. Hopefully closer the election there will be more exposure. Barack Obama has gotten more donations than any candidate in history at this point in an election so that's a good thing. I read that the other day.
