Sure. For a presidential advisor, she is plenty humble. Most of us in that position would have a swelled head.
Back in the kitchen, StupidReaderette!

OK Professor, explain how believing in the theory of evolution, over believing in God, gives one scientist the edge over another scientist who is in the same field?
Scientist obtain knowledge derived from observation, study, and experimentation in the natural world. You cannot obtain knowledge of God using observation, study and experimentation.
You obtain knowledge of God thru believing in the supernatural.

She can no more argue logically than Lynn Cheney or Fran Townsend. I like Karen Hughes, having know her for a long time, but she is not an original thinker. Nice lady, though. I don't think SilentReaderette is though. She gets funny when she becomes hysterical. Then she is a hoot.

I can just picture her with her Bush pom-pom's. Be still my heart. How many pom-pom's are you picturing? I'd say in her case, the more the better.

Hillary embellishes her Bosnia experience and Obama embellishes how he came here. Neither told the truth. But who gets the most press?
Obama Wrong About His 'Kennedy Connection'
Monday, March 31, 2008 10:08 AM
By: Newsmax Staff Article Font Size
In an address to civil rights activists in Selma, Ala., a year ago, Barack Obama credited the Kennedy family with enabling his Kenyan father to study in the U.S., where he met and married Obamaâs mother.
But the Obama campaign has now admitted that Obama erred in crediting the Kennedys.
In fact, Barack Obama Sr. came to the U.S. in September 1959 in an airlift of 81 Kenyan students, while the Kennedy contribution to the program that brought him here was not made until the following year, the Washington Post disclosed. [Editor's Note: See the video of Barack Obama's speech where he made the mistake - Click Here Now.]
In his Selma speech ⢠which he echoed in another address at American University in January ⢠the Democratic presidential candidate said âfolks in the White Houseâ around President Kennedy wanted to âwin hearts and minds all across the world.â
Said Obama: âSo the Kennedys decided, âWeâre going to do an airlift. Weâre going to go to Africa and start bringing young Africans over to this country and give them scholarships to study so they can learn what a wonderful country America is.â
âThis young man named Barack Obama got one of those tickets and came over to this country. He met this woman whose great-great-great-great-grandfather had owned slaves ⦠So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.â
The man who was actually responsible for the Kenyan airlift was Kenyan nationalist Tom Mboya, who came to the U.S. in 1959 and 1960 to raise money for the Kenyan study program.
At the time there was no university in Kenya, and the country was preparing for independence from Britain in 1963.
Mboya raised money from nearly 8,000 contributors, among them baseball star Jackie Robinson and actors Harry Belafonte and Sidney Poitier, according to the Post.
Obama Sr. was sent to the University of Hawaii. While in the state he met Kansas native Ann Dunham. They married, and Barack Jr. was born in August 1961.
Mboya did not approach the Kennedys until Obama was already studying in Hawaii. The Kennedy family contributed $100,000, and 256 more Kenyan students came to study in the U.S.
Obama also erred in his Selma speech when he mentioned the historic march in the Alabama city that marked a major milestone in the civil rights movement.
Discussing how his parents met, Obama said: âThere was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Junior was born. So donât tell me I donât have a claim on Selma, Alabama.â
In fact, the Selma march occurred four years after Obamaâs birth.
Wow! Obama even got his own life's story wrong. What else has he been wrong about?
