Place that black trash in prison and leave him there, because tax payers will have to pick up the tab if he's in prison or on the street, at least if he's in prison he can't spew and act out he's hate hurting others!
Making your "black" President proud.

The words of a 'racist'. Let me guess.... taught at home..
ummmm, our president is also "white", with a mother who was "whiter" than you. Get off your stupid high horse already. Help fix the country instead of sitting there picking your "entitled" nose. And this article wasn't a political piece, but you made it one. AZZ.
Illbooten, if you're going to make this a racial issue, be sure to mention the white serial killer, Rodney Alcala, who was just found guilty of 5 murders. You dumbass.
You sound dumb and racist . . . put your two cents back in your pocket . . I'm sure it's all the money you have to your name . . .
What will you say if they find that he was using the form of credit card or check with permission but because he is a household name the cashier thought he was stealing?
What would your response be then?
Looking at your AOL name, you are probably black and just trying to start some shyt! YOu big dummy!
I GUESS A LOT OF YOU HAVE BEEN MAKING YOUR WHITE PRESIDENTS PROUD FOR MANY YEARS, SINCE THAT CRIME IS MOSTLY DONE VERY WELL BY WHITE PEOPLE.
Wow, I can only hope you were neutered at an early age, so you're simple, racist mind won't ever infect another human being's.
Tari, I guess you've seen Obama's birth certificate. What else makes you so sure the white woman was his bio mother? Obama treated his white grandmother with no respect and having no proof, the rest of this country really doesn't know who his real father and mother are. You need to develop some critical thinking skills.
illbootengotti, how about you make your family proud? lose the bigotry, get an education and stop acting like a moron. If you can't do those things here's another choice. Get a lobotomy.
Words spoken from someone who is nothing more than "po white trailer park trash!"
OF COURSE HE IS PROUD HE IS A BETTER PHONY THEN THE KID. TLK ABOUT IDENTITY THEFT, OB EVEN STOLE A CITIZENSHIP IN ORDER TO BE ELECT4ED. OH THE FOOLS THAT BELIEVED IN HIS CHANGE. HE HAS FAILED AT EVERY THING HE HAS ATTEMPTED. IMOPEACH HIM NOW BEFORE WE LOSE OUR NATION.
Lie- cheat- steal-kill-carjack you got to love the Presidents men
