I love Gene Simmons and Kiss.

But here we have a wealthy rock star, who, by his great international lifetime fame, has never been able to live a "normal" life, telling a racially-mixed kid who grew up poor under a Kansas-born single mom, who has lived in Hawaii and Indonesia, raised by his white, rural, typical American grandma and grandpa (armed services war vet), who worked his way up through high school into college, into Harvard, graduated magna cum laude and president of law review, who married a local girl and had kids, lives with his mother-in-law, worked on a local community level and state level, got elected to Washington, then became President of the United States - we have this international rock star telling America's Most Typical Rags To Riches Success Story he "has no effing idea what the world is like" because he "doesn't have to live there" ???

Seriously?

BAWAAAHAAAAAAAAAAA

Since you're such a huge Kiss and Gene Simmons fan I'm sure you're aware he had a similar upbringing to Obama except instead of living off a government job he actually got up on stage before a judge and jury and practiced his craft. Although must admit Shannon and Obama are twins when it comes to spending money without thought and throwing a baseball.

One difference is Simmons works for and supports our military because he wants to not because he's their boss and gets a check. Simmons is not Presidential material IMO but light years ahead of what we have now. Only person worse now would be Jimmy Carter. But then again they're the same foreign policy wise. Both 'get it' which, I guess means being pro-Palestine and anti-Israel.

born overseas and changed their names? i thought you'd finally given up on the whole obama as a foreigner thing.

chaim witz is to rock what donald trump is to politics. he's let undeserved success convince him he's actually talented not lucky.

kiss sucks and the fact anyone still knows their name (much less describes themselves as a fan) is proof that you can't go broke underestimating mass taste.

Born overseas v. raised overseas I guess is the big difference. That and his dad wasn't a polygamist, his brother isn't an accused rapist, and has no illegal now legal aunt living in public housing. He's also probably paid more in taxes to this country than Obama has made including all the money he's been paid by, in part, Simmons' taxes.

Yea I agree with you now, they are far different. Also doubt Simmons is remotely close to wanting Israel to revert to its '67 borders as Obama clearly is.

where'd you get that idea? could you post the (complete) quote where he said that?

where's the quote? i'm asking you to pull up the words that came out of obama's mouth stating he wanted israel in pre-1967 borders.

try google. that usually works for me.

and remember...no editing. you need to post complete paragraphs.

When did Obama come to the US, Dell? Do you know how old he was? Do, tell us.

That and his dad wasn't a polygamist, his brother isn't an accused rapist, and has no illegal now legal aunt living in public housing.

And people Obama never even met briefly until he was an adult influenced Obama how? People he doesn't know, doesn't live with, doesn't live near, doesn't see regularly? You hold people in contempt for things they cannot or do not control, things people have nothing to do with? That's ridiculous.

He's also probably paid more in taxes to this country than Obama has made including all the money he's been paid by, in part, Simmons' taxes.

The above has nothing to do with ... anything.

Obama and every other President, Dell, have started negotiations from that point. Your intense decades-long study of Israel and the middle east surely has taught you our history. Obama also said that there should be land swaps. So at least you should be honest about "what Obama said".

1) When his mom got dumped and with no man there to support her moved back to her parents home that happened to be in the US.

2) Blood

3) Paying for the country's tab v. taking from it. Opposites and my point.

4) Since I found the Obama quote specfically in regards to the '67 border can you find the same for say Reagan? Surely he is included in every President.

In other words, you don't know what years Obama was "raised overseas".

You might want to look that up before you post your original contention (not very well supported), then try to justify it with the silly false statement you made, above.

2) Blood

Ah, "blood". So you are personally responsible and guilty for anything anybody related to you does, too? Let's be sure of what you are contenting. Even if you have nothing to do with them? That's how it works? So how far does that extent? To second cousins? Relatives you've never met, never seen, never talked to?

Hate to point out what that remarkably silly position you hold is called, technically.

3) Paying for the country's tab v. taking from it. Opposites and my point.

Obama plays plenty for "this country's tab", as a taxpayer. His tax returns are public, and Simmon's isn't.

As far as "taking from it", yeah, we compensate the President of the United States that we elect $400,000 a year. Being President isn't exactly a walk in the park - of course, compared to being an aging rock star (much more difficult, surely!) Are you against that? Paying someone who works for us?

4) Since I found the Obama quote specfically in regards to the '67 border can you find the same for say Reagan? Surely he is included in every President

Nobody is talking about Reagan. We are talking about your mischaracterization and misstatement of Obama's publicly stated position on Israel and Palistine. Hey, what do you think about Obama strongly fighting any UN recognition of Palistine as a state? Yeah, that proves Obama is pretty against Israel and supportive of Palistine, huh?

Do you see where your statement about the President is untrue and false yet? Will you ever? Somehow I doubt it. We'll be hearing this falsehood about Obama from you for the next 6 years ....

Here is what Obama said verbatim.....

“So while the core issues of the conflict must be negotiated, the basis of those negotiations is clear: a viable Palestine, a secure Israel. The United States believes that negotiations should result in two states, with permanent Palestinian borders with Israel, Jordan, and Egypt, and permanent Israeli borders with Palestine. We believe the borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states.”

Show me one President ever say anything about basing new borders on the 1967 lines? You know besides Carter. And thank you for assuming I was dishonest about what Obama said and was able to requote him exactly as it came out of his mouth.

"We believe the borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines" Wonder if Iran believes the U.S. should open negotiations with the Pottawattomi Tribe in Wisconsin regarding expansion of the reservations based on the 1846 treaty? Just about as relevent.

I see at least you've changed your contention to match what the President actually said. Good for you!

That has always been our foreign policy, Dell. What Obama said was nothing new, he simply stated it, and everyone who pays attention to the middle east knows it. In fact, alot of opinion pages talked about how he never said anything new in this speech. Why are you ignoring all that? It's strange. Do you not read any major newspapers, or watch the nightly news shows?

That's the truth, and every one but the crazy right-wing flying monkey show knows it.

Admit it, Dell - your contention that this President is "anti-Israel and pro-Palestine" is beyond absurd and simply wrong.

Only you would classify getting elected to public office "living off a goverment job".

What a ridiculous statement.

Sorry, Dell. I just have no respect left for your "political" views. They seem to be based upon falsehoods, sound bites, and unchanging, overt dislike.

It's fun to debate differences in political views, but sad to watch nonsensical, untrue nonsense regurgitated without question.

he actually got up on stage before a judge and jury and practiced his craft.

You mean, like getting up in front of people, selling your value, exposing yourself and your family to slander and lies, and having people vote on your success or failure by getting elected to public office?

One difference is Simmons works for and supports our military because he wants to not because he's their boss and gets a check.

Yeah, there's zero evidence Obama disrepects the military, none whatsoever, and much that he admires it.

But don't let that stop you from blatently characterizing Obama without a shred of evidence or truth on your side (one of the first things he did when he was President, day one, was to allow the respect of acknowledging our military killed in action by reversing the Bush "can't take photos" crap that pretended it didn't occur)

Simmons is not Presidential material IMO but light years ahead of what we have now.

You really think Gene Simmons would be a better President that our current President? And that Obama is anti-Israel and pro-Palestine?

Our country is doomed by ignorance. Instead of making up ridiculously false crap about the President, Dell, to justify your dislike, I'd respect you alot more if you just said you hated him and always will.

when his 'esteemed colleague, friend and fellow senator from Illinois' as he usually calls him was on the senate floor calling 'our' (U.S. troops) gestapo, Obama's silence spoke volumes of his feelings for the military.

You know, when you diss Obama with lies and exaggerations, all the people who don't support your nonsense speak volumes with their silence. Following your complete lack of logic and obtuse thinking methodology, I must assume every one of the people not posting here against your silly contentions, must agree with you totally.

You ignore the President's speech (even copied here for you to not read) in favor of the assumption you make, above.

ROFLMAO.
