As a younger man, Manning burglarized homes, mostly on Long Island. He spent about three and a half years in prison in New York and Florida for burglary, robbery, larceny, criminal possession of a weapon, and other charges before his release in 1978. While in prison, he became a devout Christian.[1]

The contention was that because Rev. Wright was a racist, it didn't mean that Obama was a racist. Try to keep up, PC25. Geez! You guys can't even keep track of your own spin anymore!

If you think Obama was unqualified then what did you think of GW Bush? Many of you are aware that he bankrupted 3 of the companies that he ran before being elected as the President of the US. It really should be no surprise to anyone that he came close to doing it to this country in the 8 years he held office. Talk about unqualified!
Here's the resume of the man the Republicans "elected?" twice. Happy reading!
Accomplishments as president:
*Attacked and took over two countries.
*Spent the surplus and bankrupted the treasury.
*Shattered record for biggest annual deficit in history.
* Set economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12 month period.
*Set all-time record for biggest drop in the history of the stock market.
*First president in decades to execute a federal prisoner.
*First president in US history to enter office with a criminal record.
*First year in office set the all-time record for most days on vacation by any president in US history.
*After taking the entire month of August off for vacation, presided over the worst security failure in US history.
*Set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips than any other president in US history.
*In his first two years in office over 2 million Americans lost their job.
*Cut unemployment benefits for more out of work Americans than any president in US history.
*Set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12 month period.
*Appointed more convicted criminals to administration positions than any president in US history.
*Set the record for the least amount of press conferences than any president since the advent of television.

*Cut health care benefits for war veterans.

Well, maybe this is why you're so concerned with qualifications now. Dare I hope that you've have learned your lesson? Judging by your last pick for a Presidential candidate, I think not!-

No wonder I feel like I have crapped on over and over by the Bush regime. We have been.
These are the kind of supporters they have. I'm surprised they weren't wearing their white hoods.
Thanks for an excellent list of the low points in the Bush terrorist reign.
Of course there were no high points. Just being at ground level was the highest he ever made it. LOL
