A Simply Amazing Rebuttal to the Simply Amazed Obama Skeptics, or "Oh Yes They Can"

So here's the latest nonsense being passed around:

Isn't it amazing that, within only one week of Tiger Woods crashing his Escalade, the press found every woman with whom Tiger has had an affair during the last few years? And, they even uncovered photos, text messages, recorded phone calls, etc.! Furthermore, they not only know the cause of the family fight, but they even know it was a wedge from his golf bag that his wife used to break out the windows in the Escalade. Not only that, they know which wedge! And, each & every day, they were able to continue to provide America with updates on Tiger's sex rehab stay, his wife's plans for divorce, as well as the dates & tournaments in which he will play.
Now, Barack Hussein Obama has been in office for two years, yet this very same press:

· Cannot find any of his childhood friends or neighbors;
· Or find any of Obama's high school or college classmates;
· Or locate any of his college papers or grades;
· Or determine how he paid for both a Columbia & a Harvard education;
· Or discover which country issued his visa to travel to Pakistan in the 1980's;
· Or even find Michelle Obama's Princeton thesis on racism
They just can't seem to uncover any of this.
Yet, the public still trusts that same press to give them the whole truth!
Simply amazing, isn't it?

Here's my rebuttal:

Simply amazing how stubbornly some people cling to lies, and perpetuate gossip! Of course, if one is a skeptic, no amount of memory, testimony or sense experience will convince him. Just try proving to a skeptic that he is not the only one with a mind, and that other people aren't robots! Or try proving to him that the world wasn't created five minutes ago! If one prefers doubt, then not even God himself can change his mind--as Jesus demonstrated when he walked among us. http://bible.cc/luke/13-34.htm

Not that it will probably change many minds, but just for the record, here are responses to all the allegations:


Now, Barack Hussein Obama has been in office for two years, yet this very same press:

1) Cannot find any of his childhood friends or neighbors;

Oh yes they can!

3) Or locate any of his college papers or grades

Oh yes, they could if it were legal!

here's another perspective:

I have been a college instructor for over 20 years.The 1974 federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (34 CFR Part 99) protects the privacy of student education records. Remember how teachers used to leave graded papers and tests outside their office doors for students to rifle through and pick up? Thanks to this act, it is illegal for instructors to reveal student info to anyone except the student, without his or her permission. Think of it as HIPPA for education.

I've thrown out my own papers, and I routinely throw out student papers/tests if they are not reclaimed after one semester. It is only recently that computers have been around to easily store information. Now that that is possible, I do have student's online work.

4) Or determine how he paid for both a Columbia & a Harvard education;
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/money.asp

Oh yes they can!

Per Obahma's book Audacity of Hope, p194 "Where Americans do need help, immediately, is in managing the rising cost of college-- something with which Michelle and I are all too familiar (for the first ten years of our marriage, our combined monthly payments on our undergraduate and law school debt exceeded our mortgage by a healthy margin)."

How did W pay for his education?

5) Or discover which country issued his visa to travel to Pakistan in the 1980's;

Yes, they have a good idea:

(One good question deserves another: Exactly where was George Bush during the Vietnam War, particularly 1972-73?  http://www.google.com/search?q=Oh+yes+they+can%21&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&ie=utf8&oe=utf8&rlz=   )
6) Or even find Michelle Obama's Princeton thesis on racism.

Oh, yes they can!  This is too easy:
