Both 2 and 3 (and most of the others) are classic Red Herrings. Notice how the argument does not even address the original issue. Privilege and education does not preclude one from herding goats (after all, our Yale-educated, silver-spoon president "clears brush"). The state of the Kenyan government later does not change the fact that Kenyans fought for independence.

I've seen some sad signs of the dumbing down of America over the past 30 years, but junk like this is now making the case clear.

The fact that someone would present this crap as "proof" shows the dismal state of education in this country. What is being taught in schools today that one can't see this list chock full of logical fallacies and dismiss it out of hand? Take the first three:

1.) Selma Got Me Born - Lie, you were born in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965.
How can anyone possibly know what effect learning about Selma had on Obama? Does anyone (beyond this moron that is) really think he was talking about his LITERAL birth?

2.) Father Was A Goat Herder - Lie, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.
I've never heard the son of a servant described as "privileged" before, but hey, different strokes, eh?

3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter - Lie, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had

Both 2 and 3 (and most of the others) are classic Red Herrings. Notice how the argument does

It always annoys me when people speak of BILL's accomplishments as if Hillary, by virtue of her last name alone, can duplicate them. When will people wake up and realize that Hillary is NOT Bill? People always liked Bill; Hillary...not so much. 'Course, Hillary knows that as well, which is why she continues to trot after him. Say what you want, but I just don't see how a woman who has been consistently incapable of managing her own husband is now supposedly capable of managing an entire country. Her supporters may not want to admit it, but one DOES have an impact on the other. As a woman, I'm insulted by the idea that this woman, who tolerated years of public disrespect from her husband in the presence of her teenage daughter, is being described by some as a figure of female empowerment. Really? Would you teach YOUR daughter to follow her example?

Barack Hussein Obama has the audacity to blame America's image by the rest of the world because , Quote "Americans drive SUV's and live and eat better than other people in the world". That according to Hussein Obama is why America has less friends in the world. What kind of an idiot would suggest such a thing but an inexperienced idiot who thinks he is qualified to be president because he is black and erroneously thinks to put down America because we live in democracy of hard working people who earn what they have and have the freedom to spend it it as they choose. Hussein Obama already it seems is aligning himself with the rest of the world who envys our freedom and way of life. Hussein Obama wants to appease the rest of the world and he isn't even the Democrat presidential nominee yet. Beware America! Of this inexperienced idiot and charlatan man becoming president.

OBAMA IS NOT WORTHY OF THE PRESIDENCY OF USA.

We had better choices but the media and big business pushed these three. These are the ones we are stuck with. For me its not about of gender, race or heroics. With what we have to choose from - its become about qualifications and experience. Obama was elected in 2004 - he has spent almost 2 yrs on the campaign trail - leaving him 2 years of actual work. Hillary was elected in 2000 - she has been on the campaign trail almost 2 yrs - leaving her 6 years of actual work. McCain was in the house 2 terms - and the senate 26 yrs. Promises and good speeches mean nothing - we have a mess - when it comes to the final vote, people will go with experience and hope Congress will help the next pres. instead of doing nothing.
