[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frankly Jeff, most of Obama's life prior to the Senate a couple years ago leaves mostly question marks.  I couldn't even tell you where his parents were living when he was supposedly born here and what they did for a living (and how did they even end up here from Indonesia to begin with), or what Obama did for a living for almost 20 years prior to the Senate.  Or where Obama's American family is other than his own children and wife.  If this was one thing, just one question mark on a straightforward kind of guy, then I don't think people would press the issue so much, like how McCain was born overseas.  But in his case, almost 1/2 of his life is a big ass question mark to me and a lot of people.  Even bios I read online thinking I should give him the benefit of the doubt and read up on this skip MOST of his life.    [/quote]

Jesus fucking Christ.  OK:

His parents were living in Maui when Obama was born.  They were both undergrad in the University of Hawaii, and met in a Russian Lit class.  His mom was from Kansas, and his dad was from Kenya -- not Indonesia -- and was here on a foreign student scholarship.

After high school, Obama attended Occidental College from 1979-1981.  He transferred to Columbia in 1981 as a poll sci major and graduated in 1983.  From 1983-1985, he worked at Business International Corporation and the New York Public Interest Research Group.  From 1985-1988, he worked as a community organizer for Developing Communities Project.  1988-1991, he went to Harvard Law.  From 1991-2004, he was at the University of Chicago School of Law as a teaching fellow and ultimately a professor.  He was an Illinois State Senator from 1997-2004, and a U.S. Senator from 2005-2008.  All of this took me 30 seconds to find on Wikipedia.  I don't know what members of the Obama family you are interested in, but you can find the locations of over 20 of them here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obama_family

Like Obama, don't like Obama, whatever.  But the mere suggestion that his "life prior to the Senate a couple of years ago leaves mostly question marks" is a pile of crap perpetuated by a bunch of biased talking heads.  [/quote]

I applaud your exasperated efforts pp, but people this stupid will never understand facts.  If the guy didn't know that Obama is a Harvard law grad, and a con law professor, he doesn't likely even know how relevant that is to his credentials to be a leader in the law.  Too bad he still gets a vote. [/quote]

I know, I know.  But honestly, other people are lurking and reading this thread, right?  I was mostly posting for them.  [/quote]
