Not from my family, but i'm in an argument with someone on the comments section of my school newspaper (I know I know) http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=7434 Marxist political coalition Was active from 1992-1998 Endorsed Barack Obama for Illinois state senate seat in 1996 Co-founded in 1992 by Daniel Cantor (a former staffer for Jesse Jackson's 1988 presidential campaign) and Joel Rogers (a sociology and law professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison), the New Party was a Marxist political coalition whose objective was to endorse and elect leftist public officials -- most often Democrats. The New Party's short-term objective was to move the Democratic Party leftward, thereby setting the stage for the eventual rise of new Marxist third party. Most New Party members hailed from the Democratic Socialists of America and the militant organization ACORN. The party's Chicago chapter also included a large contingent from the Committees of Correspondence, a Marxist coalition of former Maoists, Trotskyists, and Communist Party USA members. The New Party's modus operandi included the political strategy of "electoral fusion," where it would nominate, for various political offices, candidates from other parties (usually Democrats), thereby enabling each of those candidates to occupy more than one ballot line in the voting booth. By so doing, the New Party often was able to influence candidates' platforms. (Fusion of this type is permitted in seven states -- Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Mississippi, New York, South Carolina, and Vermont -- but is common only in New York.) Though Illinois was not one of the states that permitted electoral fusion, in 1995 Barack Obama nonetheless sought the New Party's endorsement for his 1996 state senate run. He was successful in obtaining that endorsement, and he used a number of New Party volunteers as campaign workers. By 1996, Obama had become a member of the New Party. In 1996, three of the four candidates endorsed by the New Party won their electoral primaries. The three victors included Barack Obama (in the 13th State Senate District), Danny Davis (in the 7th Congressional District), and Patricia Martin, who won the race for Judge in the 7th Subcircuit Court. All four candidates attended an April 11, 1996 New Party membership meeting to express their gratitude for the party's support. The New Party's various chapters similarly helped to elect dozens of other political candidates in a host of American cities. One of the more notable New Party members was Carl Davidson, a Chicago-based Marxist who became a political supporter of Barack Obama in the mid-1990s. Other high-profile New Party members included Elaine Bernard, Michael Chandler, Noam Chomsky, Steve Cobble, Bruce Colburn, Danny K. Davis, Willie Delgado, Barbara Ehrenreich, Bill Fletcher, Maude Hurd, Manning Marable, Patricia Martin, Frances Fox Piven, Raphael Pizzaro, Zach Polett, Wade Rathke, Gloria Steinem, Madeline Talbott, Ted Thomas, Cornel West, Quentin Young and Howard Zinn. In 1997 the New Party's influence declined precipitously after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that electoral fusion was not protected by the First Amendment's freedom of association clause. By 1998 the party was essentially defunct. Daniel Cantor and other key party members went on to establish a new organization with similar ideals, the Working Families Party of New York.

Not really a forwarded e-mail, but a friend of mine had a Facebook status that read something like... "God took from us our favorite singers (Michael Jackson) and our favorite actors (Patrick Swazye and Farrah Fawcet) and so God, we'd like to remind you, that Barack Obama is our favorite president." Of course, some of the people liked the status with comments like "lol too true!!!1" but surprisingly, most of them were people pointing out what a downright creepy status that was. And of course, the poster quickly went on the defensive with "cant you guys just get a sense of humor?! of course i dont want to kill the president!!"

It's funny, I went to an Ivy League college and I get that poo poo all the time. "ZOMG, were you totally friends with [insert celebrity's kid who went to same school]?" "Hey, I hear that [insert successful actor/businessperson/scientist] was in your graduating class. I doubt you were best friends or anything, but were you ever in the same courses?" 10 years out from graduation, I stay in touch with about four people and can tell you about maybe 20 or 30 people that I remember well. The other 1600 or so people in my graduating class? No idea. Hell, there were only 8 or 9 people in my major during my graduating year, and I don't remember a single one of them even though we took graduate seminars (classes with enrollment of 4 students) together. I have no doubt that someone from my class will go on to receive major recognition, and I'll have no clue who they were. (But if it's one of my exes, I fully expect to be the guy who's like, "Hey Access Hollywood, come interview me! I totally hit that poo poo back in '96!")

According to snopes.com Obama was very cloistered during that period of time anyway. He described himself "like a monk" never really went anywhere or did anything. The email poses a fallacy that since he's a charismatic and famous speaker now he obviously always was.

The only name I remember from most of my undergraduate years ( friends weren't the same year as me, and roommates weren't the same year as me) was a guy named Carl. And that's because he was the one who jumped in an elevator on a dare when we had 20 people inside it, and we got stuck for 45 minutes waiting for a repair guy to get us out. I'd probably recognize faces, but then again, if he was being a stealth studier, everyone probably remembered him as "that guy who wears the blue sweater", not "Barack Hussein Obama".

This. And also, what would they even have to say about him if they did remember him? I guess the conspiracy theorists want his former classmates to say he went on 40 minute in class diatribes about why taxes are awesome or came to parties in a "gently caress WHITEY" shirt or something. A guy I went to college with five years ago just found me on Facebook. We had a bunch of classes together and all I could say was, "Oh yeah. That guy." Edit cause I forgot: Maybe the people he went to college with were kinda, uh, busy BEING IN HARVARD LAW SCHOOL. I didn't go there, but I'm assuming its pretty demanding, yes?

I notice a lot of people do not refer to Obama as President Obama but rather, Mr. Obama. And by a lot of people I mean people on radio and television. There is a guy on NPR who does it and I've been hearing it on other stations/channels (not Fox). I don't remember people calling Bush, Mr. Bush, on a regular basis. Or perhaps I'm misremembering?

I am pretty sure that most people say it when they don't like the president, but want to sound more formal than just "Obama." Obama, you are a tool. Mr. Obama, you are a tool. Just makes it seem like you are giving them some respect before insulting them I suppose. But not really giving them respect by referring to them as their title.

From my understanding its supposed to be that the first mention is President soandso and then from then on you can do Mr. and/or President and its not really a breach in protocol/respect/whatever.

That's New York Times style, they call someone by their title with the first usage in the article and then do it by only Mr/Mrs whatever. I think if you were talking to him in person or interviewing him or something you'd call him Mr. President or President Obama whenever addressing him.

Haven't seen this one yet. PSALM 2010 Obama is the shepherd I did not want. He leadeth me beside the still factories. He restoreth my faith in the Republican party. He guideth me in the path of unemployment for his party's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the bread line, I shall fear no hunger, for his bailouts are with me. He has anointed my income with taxes, My expenses runneth over. Surely, poverty and hard living will follow me all the days of my life, And I will live in a mortgaged home forever. I am glad I am American, I am glad that I am free. But I wish I was a dog ...... And Obama was a tree.

This is the first time in 42 years that there has not been a military flyover in formation, and organizers were stunned that Obama refused to allow this. When the lady organizing the event contacted the Pentagon to ask why this was not allowed, as it had occurred every year for 42 years, she was told it was because of the event's "Christian nature."

Not an e-mail, but I've decided it's probably not even worth trying with people anymore. A guy I'm friends posted some status on his facebook regarding his belief in global warming/climate change/whatever, and of course some people jumped all over it. I linked one (well, the only) person arguing against global warming to the Home documentary to watch... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqxENMKaeCU and her rebuttal to me was a link to this story... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1254619/Baby-girl-survives-shot-chest-parents-global-warming-suicide-pact.html I poo poo you not. After I got that, I said But that has absolutely nothing to indicate that global warming is false, as you claim, but is just a story about a couple of crazies that shoot their children. I don't really see how that is relevant to this debate at all. But, if we're going for crazy news stories, then I guess... http://omg.yahoo.com/blogs/a-line/lady-gagas-head-games/389?nc That's the extent of trying that I do...I guess it's not really worth it to try to convince some people. And yes, the other girl in question is young (24ish) and college educated. Sigh.
