Why Obama needs to be the next President.

Absolutely not. No, I did not use it as a "solid ref." Ironically, you also used internet references to backup your side. There is always an article to support any point of view.
First off you brought up the point and only gave that link as your ref, thus implying your point must be true because of it, i.e. that is your "solid ref" Secondaly using youtube as a reference is by no means comparible to using wikipedia. Granted wikipedia is not the same as using a straight up encyclipedia, but it is the next best thing in todays digital world. It is truth controlled by the people. Sure things get messed up etc etc, but it eventually all comes together. youtube is for anyone to post whatever the heck they want so long as no "X" or copywrittenn material. By no means is it a solid reference. Using it as a ref is about as effective as saying its true because I said its true. Yes there is an article to support any view. However look at references to and from the article. Wikipedia is full of both. Thats why it is a decent source. This is why FOX is crap. They do things like "Some people say <Insert right wing propoganda here>" and get away with it because by FOX announcing it, they have essentially made their statement true but not the claim. For example, I can say truthfully "Some people say that ryanb31[^] is a FOX drone that was put here on CP to stir up controversy amoungst the programming community" I just said it so the statement is true. Wether the claim is true is irrelevent. This is a tactic that FOX has been using for years to push bogus propoganda such as Obama's legitimacy to the presidency.

It's simple really. His politics and socialist practices have deflated the dollar worldwide. That is a major contributing factor to our prices going up. The dollar doesn't buy as much as it used to.
You obviously have no idea how gas is priced. The US has been paying a fraction of the price that the rest of the world has for decades. Now that it is balancing you gripe. You are like every other propogandist. You want everything for cheap yet don't understand the economics of why it is cheap and why it can not continue to be cheap. Supply and demand says it will go up. Then you have dim wit presidential canidates proposing $2.50 per gallon locked. Now that is socialism. Get it straight.

You have an obsession with Fox. I do not even watch or read the news, any news. You need a new conspiracy theory. Wikipedia can be changed by anyone. How is that better than youtube? So, why aren't you all over Dave, the original poster of this thread. He did not have ANY references, just his opinion. So, what is your problem if I post a video that is a COMPILATION, not a single source, of video and radio? All I was doing was bringing up the possibility not a fact, as I stated in the post.

Wikipedia edits can be (and for articles people actually read, are) reviewed. Youtube contains whatever the hell people dump on it. It's like asking "what's the difference between a peer-reviewed journal and arxiv?", with some emphasis on "like" because wikipedia articles are not guaranteed to be peer reviewed, they can be "reviewed by some dumbfuck" or not reviewed at all. It at least tries to have some semblance of review though. edit: also, why is someone downvoting the entire thread?

I do not rant on Dave because for the most part his statement was rather "jokish". Quite funny if you ask me. Although he did not put a joke icon... To me that just says Haha its funny cause its true. You however responded directly to his post about BS propoganda comming from... Need I say it. FOX. That is why I keep bringing it up. You say you don't watch it. Well you clearly watch or listen to their affiliates. That is where that crap came from. People that watch FOX then ran with it to make up more BS using the same tactics.

Cause he can't handle when he is wrong. He downvotes people that don't agree with his philosophy. Quite amusing actually, cause the math works against him. Post +1 Low Rep downvote -2 High Rep Counter +24 Net +23 sometimes more as sometimes there are even more counter votes. Sometimes less cause sometimes the coutner is not a high rep. Either way one counter lifts the rep. Where as if he did not univote you would have just got a +1 for the post. So thank you mr. univoter. I just hit 18K cause of you ;)

How do you know mine was not also meant to be humorous? Just because you misunderstood me don't get uptight about it. Are you saying every one of the clips in that youtube video and even the radio clips in it were from Fox? You clearly have an issue with Fox. So, who do you get your news from? CNN, I'll bet.

No I did not say that. I said they were prompted by FOX's propoganda. Yes I have an issue with any media that claims to be unbiased yet clearly is. I get my news from numerous sources, including CNN and yes even FOX. However, I disect it when it is something I want to discuss publicly. In fact I tend to play devils advocate with most reports if I sence any political banter as canidates and their campaign committees have been caught numerous times for leaking false information. This is not just republicans either, although they tend to do it more and get caught doing so as well.

You are taking this way over the top. I simply stated that Obama MAY not even be a citizen. CNN is terrible with its propaganda. All of the "numerous sources" you get your news from all all biased. They all are.

Which is repulbican mud slinging at best. Don't post such crud in a serious manner if you do not want to get flamed for it.

You apparently can't read between the lines. My implication there was that I use numerous unbiased and even biased sources to gather my information. I do not use just FOX or CNN. In fact I rarely use either. But I do use them to start some research. I personally like to use social networks for sourcing because the exposer is much quicker. However from there one needs to still dig into the unexposed references to ensure the exposed reference is not biased. For example, using G+ you can follow numerous feeds which will provide links. After you see something you are interested in hit a couple different search engines and see what comes up. I try to steer clear of the known biased references until I am trying to find the source of what seems to be crud.

I must have missed that one. The lawyer in the video I posted explains that even if he were born in the US, natural born also means both parents are citizens and Obama's father was not. I don't know if it is true or not, just thought it was interesting.

Well, there were claims that the certificate was a forgery, but that well known arbiter Snopes has this[^] to say on the matter.

That would depend on the topic and quite honestly the time frame. Not sure why you are asking other than you are fishing to ridicule my sources. Bare in mind I made no claims in this thread. I only question 2 that you made. First you said Bush was a better president than Obama. I provided you a public source that shows Bush is ranked far worse of a president than Obama. Second you claimed Obama was not a US citizen, and for that I mocked you because it is well known that such a claim was bogus and an attempt to mud sling...

1. You made claims against my sources using your own biased sources. Hypocritical. If you can't answer, that's fine. There are no unbiased sources so I knew you would not be able to answer. No problem. 2. You source that indicates Bush is ranked far worse than Obama. So what? I said Bush was better and that is my opinion. I don't have to find an internet source to agree with me just so I can have an opinion. 3. Read what I wrote. I did not make that claim. And I used a source that was NOT Fox which should have made you happy. Understand that it is OK for people to have a different point of view and a different opinion than you. I don't have to have an article on the internet to have an opinion. I am sorry you do.

So now you are claiming Wikipedia is biased? Not hypocritical. I sighted a source that pointed out public opinion on all presidents. Yes you can have an opinion. However your claim was that Obama is an Anti-American socialist. Back it up. Show what he did that is "Anti-American" and socialist in comparison to Bush.

See above. You can have an opinion. But that would be simply stating you liked Bush better. You however claimed Obama is anti american and state Bush was "better". That is not just opinion as it now has content that should be backed by resources. If you can't back it don't get ticked when people flame you for making such a stupid remark.

You are right, not FOX. Just a compilation of mocked up clips made by sheeps hearded by FOX. Yeah, much better :rolleyes:

You can have your own opinion. And remember this, you can keep it to yourself. If you do not you should expect people to question it espeacially in a diverse community such as CP. You started out arguing your claims and when you began to see that the video was a crock you changed your story. Its fine to back out of a discussion but do so with honor and admit it when you are wrong. And before you post you did not claim it was true again -->

Of course Wikipedia is biased. Whoever authors an article does so based on their sources (which are biased) and their own beliefs. You can't get away from it. You are biased. We all are. Nothing wrong with that. Go back and read what I wrote vs. what you have written. I am not the one who is "ticked" here. So, now I have to keep my opinion to myself? But earlier I asked why you didn't go after Dave because all he did was share opinion and you made some excuse. I don't care if you come after me because of my opinion, just be civil about it. I am the one who pointed out the video was partially hacked so I did not change my story. You must be reading different posts and getting mine mixed up in your head because you really aren't making sense. But, what do you have against Fox? So what if they are biased? EVERY news source is. There is no way not to be. FOX TENDS to be more conservative so you must not be. THAT is why you do not like them. Because they are biased against your bias. Nothing more. You sure are silly you can't see how biased you are and everyone is. Get over it.
