Is it true Barack Obama is actually a secret president of a middle-eastern country who has plans to take over the US? It's rumored he has millions of middle-eastern "plants" all over the US who plan to take up arms once he's elected.

After the events of September 11, 2001 put the 'war on terror' at the forefront of international politics, it seems the issue remains a favorite fallback for politicians starting out on the long road that they hope will end at the white house.
US candidates who have learnt from the example set by President George W Bush that creating an 'external' enemy is a good way to create sense of paranoia.
do you agree?

quote(wire)
Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton acknowledged on Sunday that many voters do not like her, but she blamed it on years of Republican attacks and insisted she has a record of winning despite her negatives.
But a recent CBS News poll showed 39 percent of all voters nationwide had an unfavorable view of Clinton

If the democrats claim to have a strong majority as the pelosi/reid regime states than these numbers just dont bear her statement out. Could the real reason be.
travelgate
filegate
whitewater
the vince foster coverup
the montana land grab
support of the largest tax increase in us history
the "mean spirited" republican conspiracy(lmfao)
campaign finance fraud 2000.
the rental of the lincoln bedroom for campaign contributions.

AMENDMENT XXII
Passed by Congress March 21, 1947. Ratified February 27, 1951.

Section 1.
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

This means, if Hillary has Bill run as her V.P. then resigns, Bill Clinton can be president for a third term.

Maybe that's what she has up her sleeve?

i was reading an immigration question and one guy was pissed that they were forcing kids to learn spanish in school. oh **** what a waste of class time. learning something in sschool that is actually useful. in most countries children learn english in their schools taught in their native language. actually in china teens are paying for outside tutoring in english. we should require students to learn a second language earlier then 7th grade. it should begin as early as possible. it will ne easier for them to learn as language is still developing for them.

I know it sounds fishy, but in fact I believe in various countries you are allowed to have a product unwrapped/unpackaged for you to get a feel for it,.. in my case I'm buying a computer mouse, and do not want to buy by sight alone as the feel of a mouse to me is vital; I need a thumb-grasp to HOLD the mouse as I am using it; if it has no thumb-grasp, or if it looks 50/50 if it'll be right for me or not, then I would want to actually HOLD the mouse itself to be sure.
So; I ask you,... what rights do I have to be allowed to have the product removed from its packaging for me to hold it?
For the judicially minded, I live in the UK, (London), so please ONLY answer if you are sure that the laws you say you know, actually apply in my situation. Thankyou. :)
If you don't know the actual laws about my rights, where is the right place for me to ask? The Law Society? Anywhere else?
Thanks! :)

.....after Reagan left office"??? So says another Y/A member. Would that be the much touted economic boom in the '90's when Clinton was President?? Or is it now, when things are even better which has already been "blamed" on Bush?? I'm trying to make sense of all the double-talk.

My hubby and I are in south korea and he broke his wrist and has been wearing a cast for the past 2 months. They had to take bone from his hip to repair the bone in his wrist. They told him that there is only 10% chance of complete recovery and that he may never do push ups again.
He is infantry.

I am a foreigner in Turkey and my country needs my fingerprints to do a background check for my American visa application.
The police in my country said I could send them my fingerprints taken officially from the Turkish police.
How do I go about doing this since I don't speak Turkish and I am sure the Police in Istanbul don't speak English.
Please can you give me suggestions to overcome this problem?

I am the respondent of a petition for an Order for Protection against Unlawful Harassment (form PTORAH).

It's my belief (but I can't seem to find the exact statement in the RCW) that I have to have to be served no less than 5 days before the hearing?

Question 1: Is it 5 court days, or 5 calendar days? In other words, are Saturday and Sunday included in the 5 days?

Question 2 (if it's calendar days): I was served on 8/16/07 at 2:30 PM. My hearing is on 8/21/07 at 8:30 AM. Is that 5 days, or just 4, since it's not a full five 24-hour periods?

Question 3: Do I still show up at the hearing and just ask the judge for a new court date since I haven't had the 5 full days to prepare, or do I just contact the court first, so I don't even have to show up?

This is for Superior Court of WA for King County

Thanks in advance! If you need clarification on anything, please ask!
