Barack Obama, Hawaiian Spearo?!

[Mr. X]

Our friend Spaghetti brought this interesting link to our attention:

Ben Smith's Blog: Obama as speargunner, aspiring fly fisherman - Politico.com

Apparently Barack Obama was a spearo growing up in Hawaii! I wondered if any of our Hawaiian members know anything more about this?

spearfishing politicians should be on the periodic table of awesome

I like spearfishing politicians--except when they break off or wriggle too much after the shot. :t

You mean Fidel Castro, for example? I remember the CIA tried to poison him once when he ordered a wetsuit - they soaked it in a contact poison. I do not remember though who tried it first before Fidel

I recommend to Obama not to order any wetsuits in the near future!

I thought that the CIA tried to kill Castro with an exploding sea shell as well?

and so the open-cell wetsuit was created. Poison burnt off hte inner lining of the suit.. leaving fidel with a comfy and warm interior.

For sure. They attempted to kill him something like 180 times. There is a museum of assassination attempts against Fidel somewhere on Cuba, where they document them, and expose some of the material evidence. Hope they have the wetsuit there too . Or perhaps they sent it back to Nixon. Unfortunately he did not spear. Wasn't old Bush the boss of CIA in that time? Perhaps he kept the suit and will offer it to Obama at the inauguration.

Hey, think about it, a spearo as president. That could do wonders for our political clout in the regulatory wars.

I love it!

Are you saying that Hussein Obama might do to USA what Castro has done to Cuba, I.E .. turn USA in to a communist hell-hole ?
Thanks for the warning.

I.E .. turn it in to communist hell-hole ?

I thought that's what Bush was doing by nationalizing all of our financial institutions?

I just hope that he's a better shot than Dick Cheney.rofl

It's interesting how;

10 years ago, Leftwingers called banks "evil" for not providing loans to people who can't repay them.

Today the same Leftwingers call banks that provided this loans to people who can't afford them, "evil" yet again.

All the while blaming Bush for allowing the Left to perpetrate this fraud.

It is no wonder that a big part of Wall Street supports Obama's candidacy. They know which side their bread is buttered on.

"Funny" huh ? rofl indeed.

Don't forget that left and right are just different sides to the same coin: Money and power. It's the corporations and banks that own both democrats, republicans and basically every government in the world. The differences in the liberal/conservative parties are only 5 degrees off center - nobody can stray too much away from the center because if they rock the boat too much there's no way they are going to get votes. The same big businesses donate to both parties to keep their influence alive, and in turn the govenments become their slaves - where's the ethics in that? Oh sorry, it's not about ethics, it's about power; I misunderstood! So sorry.

I wish I could contribute more to this wonderful conversation but the only thing I know is that his grandmother lives here. If its true he used to spear.. well I guess he's got my vote:blackeye

And as we're at it:

Lets be honest :

 

[spaghetti]

Very funny, Roy. Now go register and vote for him (this button below says you have to....). :t

 

[cdavis]

Hey, I wear one of those.. I printed Roy's so I can take it down to Obama headquarters where I volunteer. The folks down there, most whom are registered republicans like me, will think it's a scream.

Connor

For those of you who don't follow American politics closely, its a scream because the kind of venomous, hate filled junk that "goddamnamerica.com" exemplifies just isn't working in this election. It is seen as pathetic. Seems like most people have finally recognized it for what it is.

 

[roy_nexus_6]

What amazes me, is that even after billions of dollars worth of Leftwing propaganda by the "Downstream Media" (CNN, MSNBC, CBS, BBC, LA & NY Times, and the rest of the apologists for Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot) .. majority of America will not be voting for Hussein Obama.

Amazing, but true.

 

[strangelove]

What is even more amazing is to still find a W lover, must be a rare fellow one of those 11% left, do you remember we were attacted under his watch also he backrupt every company he managed, the state of texas and now the whole nation.
