Did you know Obama's father was a drunk, deadbeat loser?

Obamas father went to harvard. He already had a wife and kids when he met Obamas mother. She was about 18 when she got pregnant. He could not marry her.
He was not deadbeat. Obamas mother chose to forget about him and not follow him to his home country Kenia where he had to go back to.
He was very brilliant, that is how he got his scholarship to go to harvard. It is unfortunate that he became disillusioned with the corruption that happens in a third world african country.
But such is life

Was he very brilliant or from a family that had enough money and connections to make it happen? Or was he the token guy?

"According to Barack Obama, his father was the first African admitted to the University of Hawaii and he surprised the school by graduating first in his class. “He won another scholarship to pursue his PhD at Harvard, but not the money to take his new family with him – or so I was told. A separation occurred, and he returned to Africa to fulfill his promise to the continent.”

I guess he was brilliant.

No. The post about Romney's family and welfare is relevant because welfare is an example of a program many conservatives hate. Romney's family is an example of a welfare success story.
That's absolutely the way that welfare should work. I applaud them for pulling themselves up by their bootstraps, and I applaud America for providing the bootstraps.

Obama's dad being a drunk is totally irrelevant, because having an abusive parent has no bearing on POLICY.

If it's true that Obama's dad was an abusive drunk, then I applaud Obama all the more for overcoming his difficult childhood. Thanks for sharing his inspiring story, OP!

Obama did not even know his father, so how is that relevant.
And I would not describe him as a loser. You are not knowledgeable enough on a place like kenya to even begin to comment on that.
Was he a drunk? Sometime, probably. Well, then so is everyone on this forum

He died drunk driving.

Not possible. Since he clearly faked his son's birth in Hawaii, he was in on the 50 year long conspiracy to create Africa's Manchurian President. So by that logic he was killed because he knew too much. The car crash was clearly the work of a shadow government of business elites who control world affairs via a secret cabal that meets secretly in Geneva.

Sounds like a kennedy

I'm not voting for Obama's father, I'm voting for Obama.

But I would much rather vote for Romney's father than for Mitt.

Uh, the problem is not Romney's family. It's Romney turning his back on the social support system that his own family relied upon.

+1

No one is saying that Romney has to apologize for his family, either for having taken assistance or for having later prospered. It's the fact that he's completely forgotten where he came from and according to his own policies and statements can offer neither understanding of or sympathy for those who are poor and struggling. I don't think anyone can say that Obama has forgotten where he came from.

Now go write the screenplay, as if that BS hack job 2016 wasn't enough already.

Conservatives don't hate welfare. Nor do they wipe their asses with $100 bills. You are brainwashed from too much mainstream media.

Oh, really? Do you think progressives coined phrases like "entitlement mentality" and "welfare queens?" I've never met a true conservative who espouses genuine concern for the poor. Where do they congregate? I'd truly enjoy meeting some.

What?

The Romneys have their own foundation and give millions to the poor and it has absolutely nothing to do with what anybody thinks. They've done missionary work too. You too have been brainwashed by the mainstream media. Check yourself.

And honestly, you need to check yourself because the bottom line common sense principle here is that generally, almost EVERYONE cares about the poor except maybe satan worshipers, some atheists, sociopaths, and pathologically selfish people. It's pretty brazen to claim someone doesn't care about the poor.

Hard core conservative Bill O'Reilly gives millions to charity every year - all proceeds from his book and his website go to charity. And even he is not "against welfare."

Your post just makes no sense. I've never heard the term "welfare queen," but I can sure guess at what it means (somebody who for a while has lived on public assistance because they are too lazy to work, not because they cannot work). So what does that or these sort of people have to do with anything? Does anybody support that sort of behavior? I don't think so. These terms are so irrelevant.

This is a very hard point to argue when most of your candidates for President were attacking the expansion of welfare.
