First generation presidents not always on history's side

Mr. Obama will be the seventh man sworn in as President of the United States who has a parent born outside our borders. The other six are:
(a) Thomas Jefferson (English mother)
(b) Andrew Jackson (Scots-Irish parents emigrated from Northern Ireland);
(c) James Buchanan (Irish father)
(d) Chester Arthur (Irish father)
(e) Woodrow Wilson (Scottish mother);
(f) Herbert Hoover (English-Irish mother).
Of those, only Andrew Jackson's had parents who were both not born American.
As the FRINGE right wingers continue with their charade, obviously aided by Clarence, they forgot to cross check their history books.
Meanwhile, with their attention spans on different trivial issues, the Governing Agenda is being fine tuned and prepared and plotted.
If we can keep the FRINGER's focussed on distractions, like these ones, for the next four years, we can achieve so much more.
So after this NBC issue is laid to rest by the FRINGE, someone needs to manufacture another distraction to keep them confused.
We need that in these times. So that when they wake up in 4-8 years, they will either change their mental thinking or relocate to ALSAKA Moose Refufes.
