It must be a fairly widespread understanding that Barack Obama’s history is fairly unknown.
That has been changing recently, and now more and more journalists have become interested in researching this mysterious man that has captivated Americans for better or worse.
David Maraniss recently finished writing a biography entitled “Barack Obama: The Story” that delves farther into Obama’s life that we have previously seen. The book is based on factual events and interviews from those who have known Obama before he was tossed into the public eye.

ABC’s Jonathan Karl wrote:

In his 1995 memoir ‘Dreams of My Father,’ Obama writes about smoking pot almost like Dr. Seuss wrote about eating green eggs and ham. As a high school kid, Obama wrote, he would smoke in a white classmate’s sparkling new van,’ he would smoke ‘in the dorm room of some brother’ and he would smoke ‘on the beach with a couple of Hawaiian kids.’
He would smoke it here and there. He would smoke it anywhere.
Now a soon-to-be published biography by David Maraniss entitled “Barack Obama: The Story” gives more detail on Obama’s pot-smoking days, complete with testimonials from young Barry Obama’s high school buddies, a group that went by the name ‘the Choom Gang.’ Choom was slang for smoking marijuana.”
He goes on further to point out that Obama was not just any ‘midnight toker,’ but was known “for starting a few pot-smoking trends.”
Barry, as the President was known as in high school, was engaged in a method he created, called “Total Absorption” or “TA” for short.
“TA was the opposite of Bill Clinton’s claim that as a Rhodes scholar at Oxford he smoked dope but never inhaled,” explains Maraniss. Here’s how it worked: If you exhaled prematurely when you were with the Choom Gang,“you were assessed a penalty and your turn was skipped the next time the joint came around.”
As one of Obama’s old high school buddies tells Maraniss:“Wasting good bud smoke was not tolerated.”
But the Thomas Edison of smoking weed did not stop innovating there, for “TA” alone could not satisfy him. He was the father of “Roof Hits.”
“When they were chooming in a car all the windows had to be rolled up so no smoke blew out and went to waste; when the pot was gone, they tilted their heads back and sucked in the last bit of smoke from the ceiling.”
The methods alone could not satisfy the high-hungry Barry, so his friends coined his signature move, the “interception.” As he and the ‘choom gang’ passed a joint around a circle, Barry often “elbowed his way in, out of turn, shouted ‘Intercepted!,’ and took an extra hit.”
According to Maraniss, the society in which Barry grew up was a haven for pot-smoking; various strands of marijuana grew all over the tropical island including “Maui Wowie, Kauai Electric, Puna Bud,” along with several more variations.
Obama and his friends never officially got in trouble, but they sure came close:
Of course, smoking, drinking and driving on mountain roads could also be a little dangerous. Especially the night they tried drag racing.
The race to the top of Mount Tantalus pitted the “Choomwagon” against another friend’s Toyota. Obama was in the Toyota. The Choomwagon made it to the top first. When the other car didn’t show up, those in the Choomwagon drove back down to find them. Here’s how Maraniss describes what happened next:
“On the way down, they saw a figure who appeared to be staggering up the road. It was Barry Obama. What was going on? As they drew closer, they noticed that he was laughing so hard he could barely stand up.”
His friend had rolled the car. Fortunately, nobody was hurt. And, amazingly, they avoided trouble by leaving the driver alone to deal with the police by claiming it was just an unfortunate “mishap.”
Boy, oh boy. How is this going to play out for Mr. Barry Obama?

It must be a fairly widespread understanding that Barack Obama’s history is fairly unknown. The man that became the 44th President of the United States did so after serving less than one term at the federal government level, so its not like Americans have any sort of background on the guy.

That has been changing recently, and now more and more journalists have become interested in researching this mysterious man that has captivated Americans for better or worse.

David Maraniss recently finished writing a biography entitled “Barack Obama: The Story” that delves farther into Obama’s life that we have previously seen. The book is based on factual events and interviews from those who have known Obama before he was tossed into the public eye.

Conservative LIES PART 1
So Conservatives, why were you not "up in arms" over the constant, blatant lies of your party leaders?
Why do you beleive the next guy is going to be any different?
The Iraq War in Quotes
11/15/1999, Dick Cheney, CEO of Halliburton (later, Vice President)
"Oil remains fundamentally a government business. While many regions of the world offer great oil opportunities, the Middle East with two thirds of the world's oil and the lowest cost, is still where the prize ultimately lies, even though companies are anxious for greater access there, progress continues to be slow." (at the London Institute of Petroleum)
10/11/2000, George W. Bush, Candidate for President
"I don't think our troops ought to be used for what's called nation building."
02/26/2001, L. Paul Bremmer III (became head of Iraq occupation)
"The new administration seems to be paying no attention to the problem of terrorism. What they will do is stagger along until there's a major incident and then suddenly say,`Oh, my God, shouldn't we be organized to deal with this?' "
10/29/2001, Michael Leeden, American Enterprise Institute
"Just wage a total war against these tyrants; I think we will do very well and our children will sing great songs about us years from now."
02/13/2002, Kenneth Adelman, a member of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board
"Liberating Iraq would be a cakewalk."
09/18/2002, Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense (before Congress)
"We do know that the Iraqi regime has chemical and biological weapons. His regime has amassed large, clandestine stockpiles of chemical weapons -- including VX, sarin, cyclosarin and mustard gas.... His regime has amassed large, clandestine stockpiles of biological weapons--including anthrax and botulism toxin, and possibly smallpox." (presentation to Congress)
10/7/2002, George W. Bush, President
"The Iraqi regime ... possesses and produces chemical and biological weapons. It is seeking nuclear weapons. We know that the regime has produced thousands of tons of chemical agents, including mustard gas, sarin nerve gas, VX nerve gas."
11/01/2002, George W. Bush, President
"... for the sake of protecting our friends and allies, the United States will lead a mighty coalition of freedom-loving nations and disarm Saddam Hussein. See, I can't imagine what was going through the mind of this enemy when they hit us. They probably thought the national religion was materialism, that we were so selfish and so self-absorbed that after 9/11/2001 this mighty nation would take a couple of steps back and file a lawsuit.
11/14/2002, Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense
"I'm glad you asked. It has nothing to do with oil, literally nothing to do with oil."
11/15/2002, Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense
"Five days or five months, but it certainly isn't going to last longer."
01/10/2003, Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense
"... something under $50 billion for the cost. How much of that would be the U.S. burden, and how much would be other countries, is an open question."
02/08/2003, George W. Bush, President
"We also know that Iraq is harboring a terrorist network headed by a senior al Qaeda terrorist planner. This network runs a poison and explosive training camp in northeast Iraq, and many of its leaders are known to be in Baghdad."
03/16/2003, Dick Cheney, Vice President
"My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.... I think it will go relatively quickly,...[in] weeks rather than months."
03/22/2003, General Tommy Franks
"There is no doubt that the regime of Saddam Hussein possesses weapons of mass destruction. As this operation continues, those weapons will be identified, found, along with the people who have produced them and who guard them."

Conservative LIES PART 2
03/27/2003, Paul Wolfowitz, Deputy Defense Secretary

I won $10, saying you were going to post the spam, reply twice to my post and then reply to your own posts!

For those reading, he will do this again soon. Two replies to my post, and reply to his own (since no one really cares to read anything he posts)

What is a troll? An Internet troll is an person who constructs an online identity and use it on message boards and discussion groups for specific abuse purposes. Note that when trolls operate in teams they are more difficult to recognize. What do we mean by teams? Usually, if a person has caused havoc on an online community, and have been banned, they will have friends join in. Usually this is more for a personal agenda.
What motivates trolling? There are many motives but the most common is attention. It’s been my experience that most troll’s objectives are to gain the attention of the community or particular members. They will create fake personas or change their persona to better fit the interests of their targets.
How do I recognize a troll? It is never easy to tell them apart from genuine posters especially when they do not disclose their goal immediately. We have seen cases where trolls took several months to build support in the community before starting their trolling activity in the open. Contrary to what most people may imagine, their contribution to the community may be positive and supportive at first.
Spamming troll: Posts to many newsgroups with the same verbatim post.
Kooks: A regular member of a forum who habitually drops comments that have no basis on the topic or even in reality.
Flamer: Does not contribute to the group except by making inflammatory comments.
Hit-and-runner: Stops in, make one or two posts and move on.
Psycho trolls: Has a psychological need to feel good by making others feel bad.

Daily Horoscope for May 23

Aries

You're idealistic and impressionable today, and want to see the best in everyone. Look straight past their faults, pretending they aren't there; concentrate on their good points instead. If a new relationship gets off the ground now it will always be characterized by an aura of romance and fantasy, and a slightly otherworldly quality.
