CrazyCat, that is an ignorant email and obviously written by someone who hates any group that isn't Christian. Why would you want to spread something that was written to incite additional fear rather than educate people?

Shame on you, grrl, for not checking out the veracity of this poisonous email before posting it! Well, I did look into to the matter and can tell everyone that this particular email is both vicious and false. Here is the website: Urban Legends Reference Pages: Who Is Barack Obama?

By the way, the snopes address is a good one to have bookmarked; it is the place to go to when you want to check whether of those urban legends are true or not. :)

I really havent made up my mind yet.

I can how ever tell you who I will not vote for.....

Barack Obama.

Check this out. I got this e-mailed to me this morning.

Who is Barack Obama

If you do not ever forward anything else, please forward this to

all your contacts...this is very scarey to think of what lies ahead of

us here in our own United States ...better heed this and pray about it

and share it.We checked this out on "snopes.com". It is factual.

Check for yourself.

Who is Barack Obama?

Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein

Obama was born in Honolulu , Hawaii , to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr.,

a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel , Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white

ATHIEST from Wichita , Kansas .

Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii . When

Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned

to Kenya . His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from

Indonesia.? When Obama was! 6 years old, the family relocated to

Indonesia . Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta . He also

spent two years in a Catholic school.Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a

Muslim. He is quick to point out that, "He was once a Muslim, but

that he also attended Catholic school."Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama

returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any

direct influence over his son's education.Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann

Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a

Wahabi school in Jakarta . Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the

Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western

world. Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking

major public office in the United States , Barack Hussein Obama has

joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim

background. ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he

DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran.Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected

presidential candidacy.

The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US

from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest

level - through the President of the United States , one of their own!!!!Please forward to everyone you know. Would you want this

man leading our country?...... NOT ME!!!

If something like this were true, the Clinton camp would have outted this and it would have been on Inside Washington, Hardball, Meet the Press and every news program on TV - it wouldn't be the floating around anonymously on the internet and nowhere else... golly.

Internet "Tabloids" sure are interesting. I wonder if they have a team of people sitting around a room without windows with darts and a bunch of misc. garbage up on a board...

Next headline will be "Nostradomous and Britney Spears Elope in Vegas"

Yep, they sure are weird, and "internet tabloids" is an excellent way to describe these e-documents. The Snopes site, the site which I posted in reference to the Obama biz, is a good one to bookmark; it is dedicated to examining urban myths and commentaries of this sort and will advise you whether such claims are true, false or unproven. Snopes will also provide you with all the details as to the why and list the history of the claim. :ranger: It is a really fascinating site. ;)

Thue, but there has been no animosities or derrogatory comments so far on who people have chosen.

I agree that this is probably the reason for the small turnout. It would probably work out fine to just do another one now that is private.

And Tancredo has dropped, so now all 15 candidates will fit on a poll.

Smatyas, will you put up another poll and make it anonymous?

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
