And from that march two people fell in love and Barak Hussein Obama was born.

"They looked at each other and they decided, 'We know that in the world, as it has been, it might not be possible for us to get together and have a child, but something is stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Ala., because some folks are willing to march across the bridge.' And so they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born. So don't tell me I don't have a claim on Selma, Ala.!" -Barak H Obama

Except Barry was born in 1961. The march took place in 1965.

What a narcissistic lying piece of **** Obama was.

Let's not rush to conclusions now, it may be possible, after all Hillary Clinton was named after Sir Edmund Hillary.

I would have liked to see what John Lewis could have accomplished with term limits. Being a career politician is not something I find particularly worthy.

I certainly respect his participation in the civil rights movement (some of it at least). But he turned that into an elected position that he never gave up. The righteous thing is to serve and then pass the torch to someone else. He stayed in until the end of his days. I don't have a lot of respect for that.

Maybe that's a selfish viewpoint. Maybe I shouldn't put down a man that just passed. But I think those that stay in Washington for decades are not serving the public anymore. I think they are serving themselves. And that is a sign of selfishness and vanity.
