Bush. We got rid of John Howard just over a year ago, and Tony Blair was booted out by the English, what, a year and half, two years ago? The world is a happier place without them. Three cheers for Obama! I listened, with baited breath with the rest of the world, while Obama made his acceptance speach in Chicago (?). It was one of those times, where you will think, when I heard that, when I saw this, this is where I was, this is what I was doing. To sum up: Whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop!

I merely thought the quotes were taken out of context, but one isn't even from Obama. It's from a book reviewer and reworded to the first person to sound like Obama said it instead of it being said about him. What's really sad is that the people who forward this seem to want to believe it's true. The books have been out there for years. If stuff this damning was in them, it would have come up on the stump. If they'll go after Michelle Obama for what she said, they wouldn't have left this alone. Bill O'Reilly would have it tattooed on his forehead. Yet despite the fact it would take all of two minutes to look it up at Snopes, they pass it on without checking it out for themselves. Someone sent it to them in e-mail, so it must be true, right? Here's the Snopes.com article that fact checks the claims and puts the quotes in context.
