#1 He's thinking of the future: the man has plans---which include abolishing that pesky 22nd amendment.

#2 It's that 57 states thingy.

[Next go around, all candidates need to win an episode of "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader" before their names are entered on state primary ballots]

#4 Just when O presents his demands of the Saudis, Bin Laden releases a new video warning of retaliation on America for what they have done in Muslim lands. We already know he'll bow to them--mass immigration planned to show how tolerant and respectful we are?

#6 Nice interview. And I thought our media threw him softballs.
Hope he autographed her kneepads...

Tu, it's laurence haim (and not laura), she's the permanent envoy of the private sucription teevee channel "canal +", which is the EMBODIMENT of the "bobo" spirit, the "limousine liberal" jet set, the vanguard of PCness in the already utterly PC french msm.

She IS an obamadrone.

Just to give you some context, she was following the GWB campaing in 2004, hilarity ensued... I recall two particularly funny example, one where she had a breakdown while her commentary was being drowned by the "USA! USA! USA!" of the crowd, and she concluded her reportage by ranting to the C+ guys about how "you can see the level of +++FANATICISM+++"... and, the very best in 2004 comedy , she had an another breakdown at the electoral HQ celebration of the GWB re-election, and the covering had to be cutr BECAUSE SHE STARTED CRYING, WEEPING AND SOBBING.
I am not making this up.

Obama is her leftist dream come true, no wonder she threw him softballs.

#7 if you are looking at the wikipedia article on the subject

the first table gives a muslim population of 1.8M to 3.0M

the 4th of the regional tables gives a muslim population for all of NAmerica of 2.8M

the 'largest population table' gives the US a 38th rank but in that table it assumes a muslim population of 4.5M; if it had an assumed population consistent with the previous tables, the rank would be below 50th.

about 1.5M to 3.0M in the USA

about 15M to 30M in China

#8 Hey give him a break he chose to copy from Joe Biden. Are you smarter than a vice president?

#9 Maybe he has Detroit in mind as the new Palestian homeland.

#10 Are you smarter than a vice president?

Current? Yes.
Last one? No.
Before that? Yes.
Statistically? Yes.

Of course, most 5th graders could say the same.

#11 Using the CIA figure of .6% (1.8M) that puts the USA outside the top 60 in muslims population. Using a generous 2M, it becomes #59, just behind Lebanon and ahead of Kuwait.

The reality is muslim immigrants to the US lose their religion quickly. The trick is not to allow any more in to replace the dwindling pool.
