CS & DOUBLE STANDARD
George W. Bush got into Yale through the ultimate affirmative action program, "Legacy"; in which 1 can attend a great college on the merits of relatives. In other words, he got admitted to Yale due to his father & grandfather. He got into Harvard Business school the same way. He most definitely didn't get in either institution on his own merit, as he had a D+ GPA at his private high school & a D+, C- GPA at Yale. Obama, on the other hand graduated with honors.
Even better
than the statement "he even uses footnotes" is the fact many of the footnotes used to "prove his point" are footnotes referring to statements made by the author himself to prove his point. The man refers to himself! It's perfect, you back up your opinion with evidence which you created yourself -- and apparently not too many people are quick enough to pick up on that fact. They just see footnotes, and what the heck, it looks good...
Conservatives seems to prefers priviledge over merit.
According to c.s.
This is precious: "This book
This is precious:
"This book is entirely factual (the author even uses footnotes to back up his statements.)"

Chesapeake has not been a republican stronghold for 44 years. Actually, it was decidedly democrat for a long time. The democrat/republican tide shifted in the late 80's more towards republicans in Chesapeake. As I said, if you understood Chesapeake politics you would understand. Newhart changed parties during the "republican revolution" for lack of a better term.
double standard
"Who cares how he got into Harvard or Columbia,obviously his grades were good enough to keep him enrolled in college."
Ah, but how liberals savaged George Bush about his university experiences. One could say, "Who cares how he got into Yale or Harvard Business School ,obviously his grades were good enough to keep him enrolled in college." Unfortunately, too many liberals have too much invested in trying to sell the idea that all conservatives are stupid (accusations regularly levied against Reagan, who they say was merely good in front of a camera, and the two Bushes, who are said to have been born with silver spoons in their mouths and upon which they both constantly choke) and liberals are g highly intelligent and enlightened (look at how Carter, Clinton, Gore and Obama are treated as geniuses). It will be hard for us all to work together if liberals continually condescend to conservatives and treat them as intellectually inferior. Just because I disagree with you doesn't make me stupid.
To Obama followers...
And yes, you are followers. PLEASE educate yourselves fully and read "The Obama Nation" by Jerome R. Corsi, PhD. I'm sure some of you have read Obama's two books, so read this one, too. This book is entirely factual (the author even uses footnotes to back up his statements.)
Then please report back to tell me how great, wonderful and Messiah-like Your Barack Hussein Obama is.
Obama's press conference
One word, "UH."
As far as his collegiate credentials, no one knows, as he hasn't released any records, I wonder why.
Chesapeake Goes for Obama
This will be my last post on the subject of Obama. President Elect Obama has won and won very BIG. The people have spoken. I dislike the
continued negativity from some of you. I recommend that those of us in support of President Obama not give these bigots a continued audience with our words. I am not speaking of people who did not vote for Obama because of policy differences. I am speaking of those that did not vote because of his color. Let's not answer the naysayers any longer - let them talk with each other and continue down their paths of bigotry. We are victorius and we wish the best for America. If they continue their ideology and embrace ignornance, God help them and God bless those Americans that were able to vote yes for President elect Obama!!
