162. Clearly, you have not done the research you say you have
Your judgment is skewed. Your research is naught.

For the record, McClurkin performed at ONE event ONE night in ONE small town in South Carolina with three other bands. Obama clearly made a point that he disagreed with McClurkin's statements. If you did any research, you'd know the quote. You would also (if you did research) that Obama has a solid record supporting LGBT rights.

As for Obama wanting more troops, so does Hillary Clinton. In 2005, she said that 80,000 troops were needed. Add that those troops would be fighting in needless wars that she was willing to send into harm's way for her career and to look tough. Does she care that they die? Show me a warmonger who does.

As for the Rezko case, if you did ANY research, you of course know that Patrick Fitzgerald has stated several times that Obama has done no wrongdoing. Add that Obama bought a home for $1.65 million (from book sales) from the asking price of $2 million. If you've ever done research on real estate transactions, you'd know the asking price for homes is ALWAYS inflated. So for Obama to buy a property at nearly the asking price is an absolute non-issue. The plot of land was, as you would know if you did research, 10 feet by about 20 yards and sold for $100k.

The non-verbal stuff you mention is so subjective that it's not even worth commenting on. The same goes with him playing the "victim" on ads that Hillary has stated don't exist. Obama can certainly defend himself and has solidly done so.

Of course, you are incorrect that Obama would invade Pakistan. NOWHERE has Obama said that. He, like Clinton and others have stated, would try to take out Osama if there was actionable intelligence.

As for the foreign policy experience, Obama is on the Senate Intelligence Committee, the Homeland Security, the Veterans committee and others and has been to the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Africa, eastern Europe and elsewhere. Of course, if you REALLY did research, you would know these things.

I would ask you the question you surmised: "Are we just a lazy country, unwilling to do the work to check out what's being fed to us?" I would suggest you do some more homework before you trash Obama's record with Clintonian lies.
