Andrew Jackson (1829-1837) is the only president born of two immigrants, both Irish. Presidents with one immigrant parent are Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809), whose mother was born in England, James Buchanan (1857-1861) and Chester Arthur (1881-1885), both of whom had Irish fathers, and Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921) and Herbert Hoover (1929-1933), whose mothers were born respectively in England and Canada.

The GOP is just upset that he won, that's all, and are trying to drum up anything against him cause they can't fucking stand the fact that he's as popular as he is and they are in the shitter, after the last 8 years. (i.e. The Dark Ages).
Just because someone's parent wasn't born in the U.S. doesn't make that person any less American that was born in the states. It's silly. Again, the GOP is just trying to drum up shit.

King, Posey was Olbermann's #1 Worst... Person... in ... the... World last night.

I thought of this thread.

^^ I was rolling, lmao. Haha.

David Schuster was filling in for him the other night and I thought it was funny when he did Keith's "Still...Buuushed!" segment. It's funny hearing someone else do his things.
