The Washington post ran an article on Barack Obama's new spanish language ad in which he narrates the clip with a pretty impressive accent. What is funny as hell is the first post (which puts into play an Obama attack I've never heard before) followed by a few of the ensuing responses:
He is the devil as far as I am concerned. His father wasn't even born in the United States. I thought that to be president, your father had to be born in the USA.

@ Bill: People with parents not born in the US are the devil now? Fascinating, that makes the world a kind of scary place though considering that's the vast majority of the human race. I do often enjoy these little insights into the thought processes of people who strongly oppose Obama.
(And no Bill, your parents do not have to be born in the U.S. for you to be president. YOU have to be born in the U.S. to be president.)

Bill you are a dumb@ss. You are obviously one of those uneducated people who fall into the pro-clinton group. I don't like to disrespect others but please dont post a comment or say something if you do not know what you are talking about. The requirement to be President is that you be a natural born citizen of the U.S., 35 years old and have lived in the US for at least 14 years, not that your father was a citizen, thats absurd.

I say " Grant is right, about that, and to top it all, Mccain wasn't even born in the USA, he was born in Panama Canal, geez in PANAMA!"

To bill - are your serious? That's why not everyone should be able to vote for president. You don't even know what the qualifications are. Maybe you are the devil considering you know nothing about the Constitution of the United States of America. I bet you think the 2nd amendment only reads "The right to bear arms"; well it doesn't so read it. You just might learn something.

I wish he'd do all his ads in Spanish. Heck why not just do all his speeches in Spanish oh wait I forgot English is STILL the first language in the U.S.A.
Obama supporters will find anything to praise on this guy. How about looking at his "gaffes" and inexperience's don't cha,huh,how about that?

This stuff is hilarious. According to Calvin, Obama's father was not some maybe-Muslim-or-atheist-furriner, as these sources have been telling us up to now, but an honest-to-God, 100% red-blooded American citizen and an upstanding member of our nation's armed forces. (Of course, that news is carried here right after news of the forty-seven or so people the Clintons have supposedly killed.) The assertion that that Obama was really born in Kenya but somehow his mother managed to smuggle him into the United States (the contributor doesn't say how she managed to do that) to register him as born in a hospital in Honolulu, is truly inspired, and the news that Obama's real biological father is a retired Greyhound bus driver living in San Francisco (Calvin the Honolulu barber doesn't say how he knows that either), but hey, you can google it, it's all over the internet!
Anyway, I'm very happy that Obama speaks Spanish so well.
