Early to bed, and early to rise,
Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise
- Benjamin Franklin.
…
I don’t see it.
- George Washington
…
Now both of these are high authorities – very high and respectable authorities – but I am with General Washington first, last, and all the time on this proposition.
Because I don’t see it, either. . . .
Put no trust in the benefits to accrue from early rising, as set forth by the infatuated Franklin – but stake the last cent of your substance on the judgment of old George Washington, the Father of his Country, who said “he couldn’t see it.”
And you hear me endorsing that sentiment.

I saw your comment about Obama’s birth certificate. I think you need to understand that with the document Obama has provided wouldn’t be acceptable to even enroll him in and elementary school !

If you disagree with Obama’s policies, then argue against them and vote against him. If you don’t like him, that’s your business. But at this point the idea that Obama wasn’t born in the U.S. is about as credible as the claim that we never landed a man on the moon.

Your response is a non-sequitor in this blog.
What is your evidence to support that statement?
How did Obama get enrolled in schools throughout his life?
How is his document different from every other president?
Fact: He is the President of the United States so how did that happen?
