Give me a break lets focus on more pressing issues Hillary Fans. So what if Obama's name is arabic does that make him any less American the author of this sounds like a racist bigot. "Playing the race card" Obama has never played the race card in this election. GET OVER IT HILLARY LOST!!!! You pyscho conspiracy theorists.

For example: Law 10 is about avoiding dangerous, self-destructive people who may pull you into their wake and end up destroying you, and aligning yourself with happy and fortunate people who will influence you for the good. This law has jack to do with Florida and Michigan not getting their votes counted. However, it does have a lot to do with why he distanced himself from Rev. Wright. Law 16 has nothing to do with Rev. Wright. Using "absence to increase honor and respect" means removing yourself from a group temporarily to increase your respect <em>within that group.</em> Obama pulled himself away from Wright because it was hurting his campaign, not so Wright would honor and respect him more. The rest of your arguments are just too weak to warrant comment. It's a shame. I was looking forward to a good read.

Please tell me what has gone wrong with our society.

I'm quite sure he's much smarter than most of the people in this country, even our backwards ass president. let’s be real, I’m sure he meant city which is why no one made a big deal of it. furthermore, you dont graduate with a J.D. magna cum laude from Harvard and not know the difference.

He is the biggest chameleon, excuse me liar on the earth. I guess you think it's a coincidence that the gas prices are this high? especially considering how he made his millions...
