[notesdev]

[Buzz Clik]

[damntexdem]

1. Oh oh! I know this!

They all had a parent not born in America.

As for what's different, gosh I have no idea! I can't imagine why this is suddenly an issue for Obama but not for anyone else.

[LynneSin]

3. *DING DING DING DING* we have a winner

Yep, none of those other presidents were hounded ad nauseum about where they were born or if they were even qualified to be president because of their births or parent's birthplace. Then again none of them had a parent(s) born in Africa except Obama. I guess if your parents were born in Europe or Canada then that's acceptable.

10. DIng ding we have another winner

One of Obama's parents was African

[pinto]

5. Yep. Good answer.

2. They all had a parent born outside the US...

I had to look up Washington, figuring he might have had as well, but no... Both English parents were born in Virginia.

[damntexdem]

21. In Virginia Colony, so both parents AND George were born outside the U.S.

Though within America.

[pinto]

4. They were all Presidents.

:hide:

(Sorry, couldn't resist. I'm clueless, otherwise.)

[LynneSin]

6. smartass

:pals:

[meegbear]

11. And all males too!

[LynneSin]

13. Are you sure? Have you validated their maleness or you just assume they are packing something...

down there.

Think about it.

I mean James Buchanan never married and never had children - so who has proof he was indeed a male. Perhaps it was some Manchurian conspiracy decades early that a girl born in Pennsylvania would be raised as a boy and one day elected as President of the United States to help divide the country even further and lead it into a Civil War.

seriously!

I could be the Orly Taitz of James Buchanan. (or is that Jamie Buchanan?)

[damntexdem]

22. Hey, when was Pat Buchanan president?

Or for that matter, J. Edgar Hoover?

;-)

(I couldn't resist, either).

[LynneSin]

24. Right after George Jefferson finished his term. Weezy was a great First Lady

:D

[FLAprogressive]

8. Common: They all had a parent not born in America. Not in common: Only one of them aids and abets

war criminals.

[Jack Sprat]

[housewolf]

23. I didn't know this but wondered about it

Thanks so much for the education!

[Uncle Joe]

25. To one degree or another, the all claimed to love and appreciate cowbell.

Jefferson got the ball rolling with his stirring words.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of cowbell."

Hoover even went so far as to "promise a cowbell in every pot" but his words rung hollow, far exceeding his actions.

Thanks for the thread, LynneSin.
