    nope, sorry. If he were Muslim, actually, he would understand that it isn't ok to kill babies because you find their potential birth inconvenient. Obama does NOT understand that. He all but advocates infanticide in the name of protecting "rights." No one has a right to take someone ele's life, no matter how inconvenient they find that person's existence! That is why I will vote Republican, though otherwise, I am most certainly NOT a Republican. When the democrats get that some things are just more important than others and quit ignoring those of us who are pro life Democrats, they will fare better. Until then, I have no choice but to abandon my party on basic moral principles. Having a right to continue existing is far more necessary than pretty much anything else.

    This one was pretty good. I'm surprised I knew so much of the information. I wonder how many idiots would get the is Obama a Muslim question wrong if it were on here? I just saw on CNN, they don't care what his ACTUAL religion is, they have just replaced BLACK with MUSLIM, so that's the politically correct thing to say....I'm not voting for him cause he's MUSLIM. Even though EVERYBODY knows he's not, That's the excuse.

    UGH. I'm going to see Obama Saturday in Nevada.
    I want to shed a tear for him, cause you can't do right for some folks, no matter what you try and do for them.

    Actually its more than four. William Henry Harrison also served as a brigadier general during the War of 1812. If the question is "which president held the rank of general without qualifications, like brigadier or lieutenant, then only Eisenhower makes the cut.

    There is a mistake in your quiz.

    4 presidents have been generals:, Washington, Jackson, Grant, Eisenhower

    I grew up in communism regime, and no one will fool me, especjallu Obama. You naive americans, are so soft on His speaches, that it gives me a big headeach. You are responcible for what is going on , You have no ambitions to dig out , to find Your self about , who truly Obama is!!!!!!!!!!
    So , do not blame Media, or any NEWS Paper, BECAUSE YOU LET THEM BRAIN yOUR

      Polish people are notoriously Republican! Thanks for your comments, but we're not that naive... McSame is just putting us all to sleep, he's so boring (hahaha, just kidding...)

      Seriously, though. We have had a total ignoramous for the past 7 years, although many Americans thought he was going to be great...so I do understand your concern. Perhaps we will still learn the hard way about our choices for President, but Obama does seem to be a better choice - intellectually, politically (he's left-leaning instead of far-right), and he's superb at communicating, unlike our current incumbent President, who is embarassing to listen to on the TV or whenever he makes a speech. He butchers the English language and makes his accent sound like a Wild Western cowboy character in a television sitcom.

      Hi wiesci1, I for one welcome you input on this news site. You may not see it in the media (cuz Obamas billionaire supporters have bought the media out; Rupert Murdoch and George Soros . . google them) ; but there are still millions of Americans who want more answers about this man named Obama to be further explored but the MainStream Media is doing a great diservice to this country by not fully vetting this guy for the most important job in America. I truly believe there is alot more digging to do but the MSM is not doing it. It is very distressfull and I agree with you totally. : - ) Thus, I have started to do my own research and posting of a specific area of his life, his friends, unsavory people that are in multiple numbers that have show a pattern as to the judgement on Obamas part as to the People you Keep (birds of a feather). : - D

    KaySD,

    "Stonewall" Jackson was never a President. Do you mean Andrew Jackson?

    • Posted By: notroubleatall1963 @ 07/28/2008 9:52:15 PM

      Did you mean Jackson Pollack? this is an ARTS quiz, right?

  • Posted By: notroubleatall1963 @ 07/28/2008 9:51:15 PM

    This was funny - almost all the questions had to do with TV shows - I never watch TV like that, only the news and documentaries, or the odd comedy program... never TV series like Sex in the City, EGADS! The only one I got all four right on was the matching of the artwork to the city/museum, and that was mostly by fluke! Is 710 a good score or a lousy one?

    I entered the correct place of birth for the two and it said I was incorrect.

    they didn't include andrew jackson as a president who was a general, as already noted. also, they didn't include zachary taylor. or william henry harrison. any others? they could argue that they meant a full, four-star general, as opposed to a brigadier, major, or lieutenant general.

    I read Newsweek every week... But score a 600. Maybe they are too heavy on the Brangelina / Brittany news. Ask me about Amy Winehouse!

    Below is a link to a video recently released that is very entertaining for those who have not seen it yet.

    HE VENTURED FORTH TO BRING LIGHT TO THE WORLD
    The anointed one's pilgrimage to the Holy Land is a miracle in action - and a blessing to all his faithful followers. . . .
