Right or wrong, and even though he is a Democrat, Barack Obama is our President of these United States.

Good luck to his half brother.

Don't know where Shenhzen is, but I would guess it is somewhere either smack dab in the middle of, or otherwise near, a whole bunch of communists.

Like Frank Zappa used to say, "and to those folks who got chumped in China..."

Have heart. Keep hope alive. No need go that far. Just go down to Wal-Mart instead.

Shenzhen is a major city of 14 million people on China's border with Hong Kong in southern China.(I hope you can find Hong Kong on the map?) Wal-mart's purchasing headquarters in China is located in Shenzhen.

No, there are NO real Communists left in China, as China turned Capitalist back in 1992. If you want to see Communists, there are some in U.S.

Why not?
The Precedent hasn't helped out any of his family since he became a senator.
Nor after he became a millionaire with his book deal (of which one book was written by Ayers).

"My father beat my mother and my father beat me, and you don't do that," ...

Says who? Yes, it would be nice if people did not abuse each other, but you read about it in the paper everyday. And in China, the government routinely abuses its citizens. People just do whatever is normal for them. How many times a week do we read about abuse here in Hawaii? Sadly, abuse is normal for much of the world. How many times a week do we read about abuse here in Hawaii? I think the writer that said Obama's brother is just trying to cash in on his famous sibling is correct.

Eh, tell your commie comrades to let the political dissidents out of your gulag jails, you know the ones from Tiannemen Square?

Then maybe we'll believe your "I'm a manju, money-grubbing capitalist."

Until then, you have not convinced me that you are not a "red manju money-grubbing commie masquerading as a capitalist" or enabling those types to go around pretending their capitalist.

You may have to do some reading up on basic stuff like Adam Smith work on the Free Market.

You see, you commie s.o.b., true capitalism is intertwined with a FREE market, operated by FREE people.

Until then you're just a pawn of the commies thinking you got Freedom but are being "chumped in China."

TAM? Those still in jail were in for setting fires to military trucks, roughing up soldiers, and rioting.

Daily Horoscope for December 29

Libra

An emotional situation is as clear as mud today. You aren't sure about your feelings for a certain someone, nor are you convinced that you know what they're playing at. They may be saying one thing and doing another, and you might even suspect that they're playing games with you or trying to get what they can out of the relationship. Or maybe you're imagining the whole thing? Admit it - at this stage you simply don't know.
