1. First there is the "brilliant" Republican senator from the state of Alabama who still does not seem convinced about Obama's citizenship. Shelby is quoted as saying the following: "Well his father was Kenyan and they said he was born in Hawaii, but I haven’t seen any birth certificate. You have to be born in America to be president.”
NOTE: According to the Associated Press, state officials in Hawaii checked health department records during the campaign and determined there was no doubt Obama was born in Hawaii. The nonpartisan Web site Factcheck.org examined the original document and said it does have a raised seal and the usual evidence of a genuine document. In addition, Factcheck.org reproduced an announcement of Obama's birth, including his parents' address in Honolulu, that was published in the Honolulu Advertiser on Aug. 13, 1961. Also, Shelby must be the only person who has not seen the official Obama birth certificate posted online.
2. Senator Jim Bunning from Kentucky predicted Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg would likely be dead from pancreatic cancer within nine months. I guess this idiot is not only a doctor but a cancer specialist. What he ignores is that her cancer was caught at an early stage and therefore her chances for surviving beyond 9 months are significantly higher. No matter what happens with Ginsburg it was one of the most cold, classless things I've ever heard anyone say.
All of this was said because Bunning is excited by the fact that a liberal judge will be off the court soon: Bunning said "He supports conservative judges and that's going to be in place very shortly because Ruth Bader Ginsburg has cancer."
What makes him think Ginsburg would be replaced by a conservative judge?? I hardly think Obama is planning on appointing a conservative to the Supreme Court.
