I was just watching the hype on Sky about the inauguration (sic) today and some debate about what USA and world expects etc.

All pontificating from "experts" all differences of opinion on what he will do first etc, but all preaced their claptrap by declaring "He's a great man..." or words to that effect...

Now I dont profess to be at all an expert on US politics, but what so far has he actually "done".

Again, no expert, but IIRC he was slated as a Senator for not actually putting forward any bills.

Now, if they hailed him as having won public hearts and done ok for himself and his family etc, then so be it, even hail him as in inspiration for a new generation (or is that Pepsi!?).
But how can you be called "great" by the whole world when you have not actually done anything..?

Or am I missing something?

Thats a bit racist isnt it? People saying hes going to be better because of the colour of his skin?

So it looks like so far we have "he's great at being black!"

Come on, someone with a bit more savvy must know what this guy has actually done so far to be hailed as the Great Man everyone says he is?

Or is it just media spin and feelgood factor!?

www.obamacrimes.com explains it a little better. In summary for those who cant be bothered to read the site. It appears that some people believe Obama may not be a natural born US citizen or a US citizen at all; they have taken him to court. If they are correct he is not eligible be a POTUS. Its strange that there dosent seem to be any major news organisation covering the court case.

No they voted for him because hes black, i doubt most of them even care about his polices or considered what sort of leader he will be.

If you read the first comment below it explains in some considerable detail why the whole lot is a bunch of tin-foil hat wearing nutter rubbish...

That he might be ineligible on the grounds that he was not born in the USA...
