Legs like an impala, lungs like a lion, and a neck draped in medals.....

I thought you were talking about runners, not Miguel Indurain

When I hear "The Kenyan" I don't think race, I think of the last 8 years of a group of people trying to get at the POTUS birth certificate and that whole not-eligible-to-be-president thing....citizenship....rules...all that.

Yeah, well there's that. Regardless the phrase "The Kenyan," is meant as somewhat of a pejorative. Not only is it a slap to the President, but to anyone who actually is Kenyan, due to the negative connotation associated with Obama.

Yess, please Kut, keep looking for more hidden butt hurt.

When I call him the Kenyan it is not a racial slam it is a knock on the question of his birth place....no more, no less.

I accept your assertion, and Dave's, at face value. I have no reason to doubt you.

But, even with that, neither you nor he can divorce the reality of what people associate with "Kenyans" - you just can't. Meaning it to be different, wishing it to be different, thinking about it different, does not make it different.

And with that, to echo GPIAShvensuhruhunhg's post, the continued beating of this dead horse, in the wrong thread for such a beating, has crossed from the absurd to the banal.

I know what you meant Liver Eating....I just wanted to remind folks of the finest runners in the world and used your post as a segue for my own post...Sorry brother...

big boy rules - no offense here - if I offended easily I'd never make it on INGO...nor would I have made it 27 years of marriage.

So....Trump....what's up with that....LOL

Ok. That's pretty f'n ironic.

Expect four years of this.

Bowing in Japan is a sign of respect but can also indicate the relative status of the individuals by the depth of their bow. So what should we make of this given that one is ostensibly the most powerful man in the world?

Need we go into his performance in Ryadh

He's an amateur at foreign politics.

he's made that painfully obvious time and time again.

So....Trump....what's up with that....LOL

Yeah, we should probably get back to that....

I am with you Kut...

Ok. That's pretty f'n ironic.

Well, Trump brought the Miss USA pageant to Gary....that's either brilliance or should be the death knell for his campaign. I can't figure out which.

There was something quite surreal about watching William Shatner narrate the swimsuit competition...which was held at a steel mill.

Admit it Hough....You would watch paint dry all day if Shatner painted it....

I would, he's in my tri-fecta of great tv/movie character.... Capt Kirk, James Bond

I think everybody's focusing on the wrong word. I do not see any issues with calling Obama Kenyan. I think it's the use of the definite article that causes the phrase to appear with a racial context. This is true whether or not the speaker intends it.

Using Kenyan in place of American would be entirely acceptable. Using the phrase "the Kenyan" in place of a proper noun can muddle the message.

Oh, no argument. None whatsoever.

...and only a few minutes ago, I bid on a sealed copy of the reissue of "Transformed Man" on vinyl.

Personal opinion noted, but you didn't address the question I asked. Aside from your statement not being quite factual, you haven't illustrated how, if your claim is true, how the military and overall nation has been weakened.

He, has been CUTTING the Military, from day one .....

I am a DAV, and recieved NO RAISE ..... NEITHER did SS reciepients .....

Check on line, about Pres., raises for the Military .....

The "D" always give LOW raises ..... 1.9% or some such .....

CHECK it out .....
