		<description>If Barack Obama is found to not be a natural born citizen, would he still be sworn into office?
Considering the fact Barack Obama still has not produced a birth certificate, is it possible that when it is finally released (and shows that he is not a natual born citizen, which to me seems like the only reason to hide it) that he would not be aloud to be sworn into office?</description>

		<description>Ok, this is his plan, I bet. He will continue to act like this question has no relivance only because matters like these only effect the people who choose to have this in their lifestyle. They will act like its no big deal but my friends, it is indeed just that. I for one am sick and tired of the govt. telling me what I can and cannot do. On some points you have to have the rules and regultaions so why can&#039;t we do this with gonja? They will put this off for as long as they can and maybe one day they will open up their freakin&#039; eyes and see that just because we choose to live our lives differently doesn&#039;t mean that they know what&#039;s best for us. Only we know that. Quit trying to control us. I saw an expression the other day and it goes like this. &quot;When the government fears the people, their is liberty; when the people fear the government, there is tyranny&quot;. Now I do understand. Some choose to believe that it is bad. I guess it&#039;s no worse than some of the pills that the FDA regulates and disperses throughout the world. It drives me nuts. We can&#039;t get any answers and they think that we&#039;ll just go away. No, we won&#039;t, I will continue to voice my opinion on this matter and until we can be given an honest, truthful, competent answer I will never quit voicing the fact that I think their just full of it. I don&#039;t trust people for one thing and for good reason cause they say to be honest and truthful and make it easy on ourselves. That is a lie, they will still screw you over no matter what you say. I just can&#039;t believe that with the way things are these days and all this change that is supposedly taking place I still feel the exact same way. Heck, I&#039;ll take it their. I feel worse! Show me the change, Don&#039;t talk about it, be about it. I was born on January 20th. It just so happens that is the day Obama will be inaugurated. We&#039;ll see what change he is speaking of and I for one will keep praying that people will quit with their know-it-all opinions and show me some clear cut proof. It&#039;s the same old story, the government says it&#039;s wrong and we either abide by the rules or we face the consequences. Stop it, cause no one wants to get into trouble and if you think we do then you are ignorant. Reform laws pertaining to this subject now, if the people are saying its crap then it must be. We&#039;re the ones that live by the rules not the government officials that find ways to squeeze their ways through so called transparency. Quit thinking you are better than everyone else and that you know what is best for us because you have no idea what we need nor strive to be in life and truthfully I don&#039;t think they give a damn. Sorry, just an opinion from a man that has seen both sides and can&#039;t stand the bull that the government feeds its people. The only time they give a damn is when their taking taxes out of our checks. Think about that. I&#039;m tired of this entitlement crap is ridiculous. You are no better than I, nor I than you. We are equals, at least thats what they want us to believe. Seriously, take our words into consideration please, I beg you. Make a liar out of me I can take it.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m so upset that Obama decided to go against his boss, George Soros, who personally funded his campaign with his drug running money. It&#039;s just not right I say to leave George&#039;s buddies out of the Administration. Think about if you were operating a large narcoterrorist organization worldwide, and campaigning to legalize drugs to improve your trade revenue, wouldn&#039;t you be angry if Obama nominated a anti-drug czar. I would,  because I, like George want to be a drug runner.</description>

		<description>Obama says NO to legalization of the Green Weed.

So what will he do ?  

I think he may turn out to be another Fascist in a long line of Fascists.

I hope I will be proven wrong. 

If he doesn&#039;t legalize the stuff, who then will it take to get elected to the office of president of the USA, Radical Russ ?

If he doesn&#039;t legalize MJ. He will become a hypocritical piece of shit, to have a shoe thrown at.</description>
