So all they can do is try and destroy the record of anyone who has one.

Think White Water, did they ever prove anything inappropriate? No. Did they spend a HUGE amount of money proving nothing but putting Pres. Clinton in the position of lying under oath about a private matter between adults? No. Did they ever prove that Pres. Obama is not a natural born citizen of the USA? No. Did they ever prove any wrong doing by Sec. Clinton? No.

Do their supporter believe all of the above? Yes.

Time to call the names of all who spread lies about Obama. They're the same people who keep up this old crap re the Clintons.

Re the natural born citizen - they threw it out and left it. Don the Con just told them he was investigating - he never investigated a damned thing - that would have cost money - but they bought it - M$Greedia bought it and sold it. The chickens are now coming home to roost.

The same Obama he dissed and continues to diss based on race, has torn him one today that is better than the Washington Correspondents Dinner dismissal of Don the Con.

They can say whatever they want and some people will believe it even though it is unbelievable. It works because it is very difficult to counter. Ask Sec Kerry about Swift Boat.
