Obama Administration Involved in Bank of America Scandal! 10/20/9 The Washington Independent: “Bush administration officials have been under fire for effectively forcing a merger last December between Bank of America and Merrill Lynch without informing BoA shareholders of the financial dire straights Merrill was in at the time. But yesterday the Obama administration was pulled more deeply into the scandal as well, after newly unveiled BoA documents suggested that both incoming Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and incoming senior economic adviser Larry Summers had endorsed the merger as well. From The Washington Post: Bank of America chief executive Kenneth D. Lewis told the company’s board that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told him “that Geithner and, in addition, Larry Summers, were both on board with the transaction,” according to Dec. 22 talking points prepared for a conference call. Both the White House and the Treasury Department have denied that Geithner and Summers were influential in pushing the merger, even if they knew about it, the Post reported. But their involvement at any level might explain why the Obama administration’s Securities Exchange Commission was so light in penalizing BoA for a failure to tell its shareholders about $3.6 billion in bonuses Merrill was poised to pay its employees around the time of the merger. The $33 million SEC fine — which effectively charged company shareholders for the alleged crimes of company executives — was thrown out by a federal judge last month.”
Obama’s Own Defense Secretary says the President Needs to Make up His Mind! 10/20/9 The time to make a decision on Afghan troop levels has come and can’t wait for Afghan elections to be straightened out. The President sent Rahm Emanuel and John Kerry out last weekend to say he would not make a decision (it would be “foolish”) on troop levels until after the Afghan elections. That trial balloon apparently crashed. Defense Secretary Robert Gates now says the administration can’t “sit on our hands” and do nothing and should not wait for the election to decide on troop levels.
Senator: Obama Administration uses Taxpayer Funded Website to Push Socialist ObamaCare Nightmare!! 10/21/9 National Review Online: “Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is raising concerns that a Department of Health and Human Services Web site that urges visitors to send an e-mail to President Barack Obama praising his health care reform plan may violate rules against government-funded propaganda. The Web page is accessed through a “state your support” button featured prominently on the HHS Web site and carries a disclaimer that the Web site is maintained by HHS. In a letter sent to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius Tuesday, Grassley warned that “any possible misuse of appropriated funds by the executive branch to engage in publicity or propaganda in support of an Administration priority is a matter that must be investigated and taken seriously,” noting that in 2005 Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) argued that “the use of official funds for similar activities were ‘underhanded tactics’ and that these tactics ‘are not worthy of our great democracy.’”

Senator: Obama Administration Using Nixon-style Enemies list! 10/21/9 U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander “accused the Obama White House on Wednesday of using Nixon-style tactics to vilify political opponents and members of the media, suggesting the administration is on the brink of compiling its own “enemies list.”…(Alexander) urged President Obama and his aides to dial back their attacks on White House critics…joined by Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., cited a litany of instances where he said Obama was inappropriately targeting groups — from the Chamber of Commerce to Fox News — just as President Nixon did four decades ago. “I have an uneasy feeling only 10 months into this new administration that we’re beginning to see the symptoms of this same kind of animus developing in the Obama administration,” Alexander said. Gregg also expressed concerns and suggested Obama was “Nixifying” the White House. Alexander, chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, pointed to the administration’s public criticism of the health insurance industry, Republicans in Congress, the Chamber of Commerce and Fox News.
Obama’s Empty ObamaCare Promise! - Turns out 73-Million May Not Be Covered! 10/21/9 Google News and the Associated Press: “Despite promises by President Barack Obama, more than 70 million Americans who have
Democrat Rockefeller
health insurance through their jobs could be open to higher costs or denials of some coverage under a leading overhaul plan making its way through Congress. That’s because large employers that directly assume the cost and risk of health coverage for their workers — including Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Caterpillar Inc. and Xerox — wouldn’t be subject to the same rules and restrictions that would be imposed on health insurers in the measure approved this month by the Senate Finance Committee…”I want to make very clear that we cannot promise the American people that the insurance reforms they have been hearing so much about will benefit everyone, when the reality is that this bill leaves out” up to 55 percent, or 73 million people covered by such arrangements, said Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W. Va.”
Obama’s Administration, brought to you by Goldman Sachs 10/21/9 American Banking News is asking why so many Goldman Sachs people are high up in Team Obama. “…Yet another executive from Goldman Sachs was installed in a major financial regulatory position of the Obama administration raised even more red flags on the growing and apparently disturbing relationship directly between the administration and Goldman Sachs. Adam Storch, vice president in Goldman Sachs’ Business Intelligence Group, is the latest to be added to the Obama financial team, picked to be the COO of the enforcement division of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), a new position at the SEC…Other high level financial positions held in the Obama administration by former Goldman Sachs executives are Neel Kashkari, heading the TARP bailout; Mark Patterson, Chief of Staff for Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner; Gary Gensler, top executive at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission; and finally Goldman has its top lobbyist, Michael Paese, (as) Rep. Barney Frank’s top aide, (Frank)…is the chair of the House Financial Services Committee…The conflicts of interest here are so obvious that it must be concluded the administration thinks it can get away with doing whatever they want, as well as the executives of Goldman Sachs which now has a spiderweb of entangling alliances with the upper echelons of the government. I can’t see that in any way being a good thing.” - Bloomberg.com reports on other Goldman Sachs execs working for Obama and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. “The advisers include Gene Sperling, who last year took in $887,727 from Goldman Sachs and $158,000 for speeches mostly to financial companies, including the firm run by accused Ponzi scheme mastermind R. Allen Stanford…Even Geithner’s chief of staff Patterson, who was a full-time lobbyist at the firm, did not make as much as Sperling did on a part-time basis. Patterson reported earning $637,492 from Goldman Sachs last year…The Wall Street ties are troubling to some advocates for investors. “Where is the transparency this administration promised?” asked Lynn Turner, a former chief accountant at the SEC. “You just wonder, who is representing middle Americans?” UPDATE 10/22/9: Allison Kilkenny at True/Slant reports, “Responding to the furor over executive pay at companies bailed out with taxpayer money, the Obama administration will order the firms that received the most aid to slash compensation to their highest-paid employees…[The plan] would have no direct impact on firms that did not receive government bailouts or that have already repaid loans they received from Washington…One of those firms that has repaid their loans is Goldman Sachs, the group of suit-wearing pirates who received $12.9 billion of taxpayer money courtesy of former Goldman Sachs CEO and former Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson, during the AIG bailout. During the bailouts, the firm had access to enormous amounts of cheap money from the government because they converted to a bank holding company, which made them eligible for $28 billion in federally backed loans, so their cost of capital was/is very low. Additionally, Goldman made private equity investments in nonfinancial firms like its deal with Geely Automotive Holdings in China. Goldman took their cheap money and lent it back to the economy at higher rates, making a profit on the spread. The sweetest part of the deal was that the firm’s main competitors, Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, no longer exist so Goldman completely dominates the market. Cheap Money Courtesy Of Taxpayers + Foreign Investments + No Competition = Cha-Ching! It’s no wonder Goldman was able to pay back its loans so quickly, while making a very handsome profit in the process. This was all done under the pageant of “What Is Good For Goldman Is Good For America,” but that of course isn’t true. All Goldman did was take the money and turn it into bonuses.”
White House Lie: Claims President Obama Didn’t Know Pay Czar Would be Cutting Pay! 10/22/9 - As we told you in Scandal # 735, pay Czar Kenneth Feinberg plans to slash pay at 7 huge firms that took government bailouts…by as much as 90%! Now, the White House Claims Obama had no idea! “One official told Fox News that Feinberg from the start had the independent authority to work with companies and make such a call. Obama was never required to sign off before final decisions were made.” Obama hired this man to slash corporate exec salaries. There’s no way he can claim now that he did not know this was going to happen! Slashing executive pay at companies that took taxpayer funded bailouts seems to make us feel good, however we have to remember that we are in new uncharted territory here. Government dictating pay does not happen in a capitalist society. It does not happen in free market capitalism. It is not permitted in the United States Constitution! No where does it give the President the authority to have czars or to limit the pay businesses offer. This kind of thing only happens with fascist dictators and socialist or marxist governments. This is what happens when the media fails to properly vett a Presidential candidate. This is what happens when Conservative American voices are not heard or believed. The majority of voting Americans chose Barack Hussein Obama (mmmm, mmmm, mmmm) as the nation’s first socialist president. His plans, his actions, his unconstitutional abuses of power must be stopped.
Obama’s Fox News Gaffe - Gives Even More Bad Examples! 10/22/9 President Obama told an NBC News reporter that “The American people are a lot more interested in what we’re doing to create jobs, or how we’re handling the situation in Afghanistan.” Ha! What he’s doing to “create jobs??!!” 49 of 50 states have lost jobs since his Obama Stimulus Plan. So what is he doing to create jobs? Nothing! How he’s “handling” the situation in Afghanistan??!! You mean by ignoring it? Two months now since his general requested 40,000 more troops and still no answer. So what is he doing to handle Afghanistan? Nothing! Pretty bad examples there, Mr. President.
Chicago Style Rahm Emanuel Lies about Bush-Cheney and Afghanistan 10/22/9 Former Vice President Dick Cheney has pointed out a lie he says was told by White House Chief of Street Gang Staff, Rahm Emanuel. Fox News reports, “Cheney said the Bush administration handed Obama’s transition team a policy review of the Afghan war conducted last fall to meet the new challenges posed by the Taliban. “They asked us not to announce our findings publicly, and we agreed, giving them the benefit of our work and the benefit of the doubt,” Cheney said. Cheney’s comments countered a recent claim by White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel that the Obama administration had to form an Afghan war strategy from scratch because the Bush administration hadn’t asked any key questions about the war and left it “adrift.”
Obama Appointment Scandal # 81 - Craig Becker 10/22/9 Rino Johny MaverDick McCain placed a hold on Obama’s pick for the National Labor Relations Board, Craig Becker. Fox News reports McCain is “saying Craig Becker’s controversial writings and legal advocacy work have outraged critics who say he supports unions at the expense of employer free speech and American businesses…the NLRB (is) a five-member independent government agency that supervises union organization campaigns and investigates and remedies unfair labor practices…Becker, who currently serves as associate general counsel to the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), a labor union representing about 1.8 million workers, was approved by a 15-8 vote Wednesday in the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. But McCain and a slew of business groups are raising questions over articles and academic journals written by Becker on the very labor law he would work to interpret if confirmed to the board. Critics say Becker’s writings reflect views that support restricting employers’ free speech rights and limiting the ability of employers to converse with their employees during union representation campaigns. “Mr. Becker is on the record supporting suppression of employer free speech,” McCain spokeswoman Brook Buchanan said.” - ConservativeAmerican.org’s take: Yet another Obama pal from the democrat party’s SEIU! The fact Obama continues to make controversial appointments even after scandals involving Van Jones and numerous other appointments shows he simply doesn’t care. He wants his radical extremist friends in positions of power.
Obama on Darfur: Dictators and Double Standards 10/22/9 The Wall Street Journal: “I am deeply concerned by reports that the Bush Administration is negotiating a normalization of relations with the Government of Sudan. . . . This reckless and cynical initiative would reward a regime in Khartoum that has a record of failing to live up to its commitments.” —Senator Barack Obama, April 2008. We found this not-so-ancient statement on the Obama campaign’s Web site, under a picture of the candidate and the quote, “I’m asking you to believe.” On Monday, the Obama Administration took its own first step toward normalizing relations with Khartoum, promising a “menu of incentives and disincentives” for a government the U.S. has repeatedly accused of genocide…In other words, even if Sudan continues to behave badly it will not incur penalties—such as a NATO-enforced no-fly zone—that could actually force it to change its ways. At worst, Sudan might be forced to live with a somewhat longer list of U.S. or international sanctions, none of which have had the slightest effect on its policies toward Darfur…The larger wonder is how all of this can go down so smoothly with those in the human-rights community who have championed Darfur and assailed the Bush Administration for not doing enough. Instead, they are congratulating Mr. Obama, in part because he didn’t take the even softer line on Sudan being advocated by U.S. special envoy J. Scott Gration. Perhaps the Darfur activists should ask why Khartoum instantly praised the new policy for representing the “new Obama spirit.” It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that for many activists and columnists, as for Senator Obama, Darfur was less a moral cause than a partisan club. Anyone can put a “Save Darfur” sticker on his bumper. For the sake of the people of Darfur, we hope that’s not all they’re going to get from President Obama.” –ConservativeAmerican.org also notes that Obama’s U.N. Ambassador, the cussing and spitting Susan Rice, wants the U.S. to take military action in the Sudan, not to sit down and chat with them like Team Obama is doing! We are the only ones reporting this. As we reported exclusively way back on December 1st of 2008, Susan Rice not only doesn’t want us to talk to the Sudanese, She wants us to bomb them!
Obama Administration Lies About Being
Napolitano
Ready for Swine Flu Outbreak 10/23/9 Back in April, the Obama Administration said it was already prepared to handle the expected swine flu outbreak. From the scandal dated April 27th, “While President Obama was out golfing…Homeland Security Chieftess Janet Napolitano said the USA is ready to handle the Swine Flu outbreak. The news conference went to her by default because the President (had) yet to appoint a reasonable person to serve as Health & Human Services Secretary. Three months in to his term, 19 key positions remain(ed) open at HHS as the nation prepare(d) for what some fear could be a pandemic.” USA was ready? Team Obama was ready? Why the shortage of regular flu shots and the H1N1 vaccinations then? Apparently, they weren’t ready after all.
Obama Loses His Childish Game with Fox News 10/23/9 - With two wars to fight, an economy that continues to get worse and a national swine flu outbreak, President Obama continues his childish war game against Fox News. “Fox Executive Refutes Reports That ‘Pay Czar’ Interview Never Was Requested! The Treasury Department on Thursday tried to make “pay czar” Kenneth Feinberg available for interviews to every member of the network pool except Fox News before relenting under pressure.”
Teleprompter-in-Chief Strikes Again - Obama at MIT 10/23/9 The president had some major verbal stumbling when his teleprompter failed to cooperate…
Obama Appointment Scandal # 82 - Bob Bauer 10/23/9 Fox News: “White House Communications Director Anita Dunn’s husband is emerging as the top candidate to replace Greg Craig as White House counsel, Fox News has learned. Dunn’s husband, Bob Bauer, is President Obama’s personal lawyer and a former counsel to his campaign, as well as the top lawyer for the Democratic National Committee. Senior White House officials declined to comment, but Democrats close to the situation said Bauer is under serious consideration to replace Craig, who is expected to leave the White House by the end of the year.” — Dunn is the Anti-Fox News Czar. Her husband, Bauer, once claimed that John McCain was part of an elaborate conspiracy with the Bush White House, the Justice Department and the RNC to make up cases of voter fraud in order to convince democrats not to vote! He wanted a special prosecutor to look into “phony” accusations of democrat voter fraud? Phony? Yeah right. And like a scandal like this would make democrats stay home. Give us a break.
White House Lawyer Claims Administration Has Only Granted Three Lobbyist Waivers 10/25/9 White House Lawyer for Ethics, Norman Eisen, told the American Bar Association only three waivers have been granted for lobbyists so far. He missed a few! Lobbyists so far include Bill Lynn, William Corr, Mark Patterson, Jocelyn Frye, Cecilia Munoz, Naomi Walker and Patrick Gaspard. Our report also indicates, “Assistant Secretary of State Richard Verma was a lobbyist (but) team Obama decided he didn’t need a waiver because…well, because they decided he didn’t need one!”
White House Lawyer Says Obama Administration is off to a “Scandal-Free” Start!!! 10/25/9 Obama Administration Attorney Norman Eisen srikes again, “We think it is no accident that we have had one of the most scandal-free starts of any administration in modern history.” Now that’s just about the funnniest and most outrageous comment to come from this Administration yet!!
White House Lawyer Claims “Full Transparency” on Stimulus Lobbyists! 10/25/9 Obama Administration Attorney Norman Eisen completes is set of three misrepresentations with this, “the administration mandated disclosure of lobbying or competitive grants for stimulus dollars to keep the process transparent and opened up the White House visitor logs to the public. “We did full transparency,” he said. “We’ll let the public decide who among them is a lobbyist or not.” Oh Really? From the Official Obama Administration Scandals List # 617, The Beachwood Reporter and the Washington Post: “President Obama ordered federal officials to disclose their contacts with lobbyists trying to influence how the government doles out money to jump-start the economy. Yet few such communications have been reported even though lobbyists say they are busier than ever with the multibillion-dollar stimulus.”
Obama Administration Pressures top CEO’s to help Battle the Chamber of Commerce! 10/25/9 Fox Business Network: “As the Obama Administration and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce continue battling over policy issues, White House adviser Valerie Jarrett and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner met with five chief executive officers of top companies — four of them Chamber members — at a private dinner Wednesday, Administration officials said…The business source said Jarrett asked executives to pressure the Chamber to moderate its opposition to creating a new Consumer Financial Protection Agency. The Chamber has opposed the administration’s proposal to create the agency, which would regulate sales and marketing practices of credit cards, mortgages and consumer loans…Jarrett and Geithner met with Frank Blake, Chairman and CEO of Home Depot; Rob Henrikson, Chairman and CEO of insurer MetLife; Christopher Nassetta, President and CEO of Hilton Hotels; Jim Murren, Chairman and CEO of casino operator and real estate developer MGM Mirage, and Jonathan Tisch, Chairman and CEO of Loews, which operates hotel, insurance and energy interests.”
Obama Administration Battling Unions over Taxing Good Health Plans! 10/26/9 ABC’s Teddy Davis reports: “The Senate Finance Committee bill includes a tax on high-priced insurance plans, suggested by Senator Kerry. A policy along these lines, designed carefully, will encourage both employers and employees to be more watchful health care consumers,” said Christina Romer, the chair of the Council of Economic Advisors…”It will discourage insurance companies from offering high-priced plans that would otherwise eat up larger and larger shares of workers’ wages,” she continued…Romer’s full-throated endorsement of the “Cadillac tax” keeps the Obama administration at odds on this issue with some of its closest allies. Organized labor has made killing the “Cadillac tax” a top priority and more than half of House Democrats have signed a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi urging her not to include a “Cadillac tax” in health-care legislation.The union-funded Health Care for America Now group recently launched a television ad attacking the “Cadillac tax” as the wrong way to pay for health-care reform.” — So if you have a great health plan, Team Obama wants to tax the heck out of it to pay for the socialist ObamaCare Nightmare!
Obama Appointment Scandal # 83 - Islam Siddiqui - ANOTHER LOBBYIST! 10/26/9 From AirAmerica.com (no, we’re not kidding…it’s from them!), “The Obama Administration has just announced the nomination of Islam Siddiqui, a pesticide industry lobbyist, to the position of Chief Agricultural Negotiator, Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. Green activists say that the appointment places the president’s commitment to progressive environmental policy in serious question. Islam Siddiqui is no stranger to Washington. From 1997 to 2001 he served in various positions in the Clinton Administration at the US Department of Agriculture. However, the uproar over his appointment comes from his current position as Vice President for Science and Regulatory Affairs at CropLife America, a trade association representing producers and distributors of pesticides. From 2001 to 2003 he was also a registered lobbyist for CropLife.”
Obama Appointment Scandal # 84 - Erroll Southers 10/26/9 Conservative American Jim DeMint is asking if President Obama’s nominee for the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) will try to unionize security screeners. ““The safety and security of the American people are far too important to be controlled by union bosses,” said Senator DeMint. “It’s time for Mr. Southers to give an unequivocal answer: Will he give union bosses control over the safety of Americans at our airports, yes or no?” DeMint says unionizing these workers would be a Homeland Security Disaster. ConservativeAmerican.org agrees. Unions seem to love him and DeMint is correct to be concerned. Southers has been endorsed by the National Treasury Employees Union and the American Federation of Goverenment Employees Union. UPDATE 11/11/9: The Washington Post reports, “Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) questioned President Obama’s nominee to lead the nation’s airport security agency Tuesday about a censure he received from the FBI in 1988. Erroll Southers, who was serving as an FBI special agent at the time of the censure, asked a co-worker’s husband who worked for the San Diego Police Department to run a background check on his ex-wife’s boyfriend. Under questioning by Collins, Southers said that he has not misused government databases to receive personal information on anyone since the incident and that he would not do so in the future.” Sean Hannity on Fox News commented, “Oh, that’s reassuring!”
Obama Hasn’t “Learned He Shouldn’t Golf While Soldiers Die!” 10/27/9 War time is Tee Time for Obama! President B-Rock Obama has been on the golf course 24 times, mostly on Sundays, since taking office. He’s only been to Church a few times and didn’t attend a single service his first 11 weeks in office. We’re patiently waiting for Michael Moore-on to blast Obama for this as he blasted George W. Bush. Michael Moore-on still has a youtube video up entitled “George Learns He Shouldn’t Golf While Soldiers Die.” Seems odd considering Bush only golfed a handful of times and Obama is out nearly every weekend. Odd, he still hasn’t had time to make up his mind on troop levels! As death tolls rise in Afghanistan, when will Obama realize the bad message this sends out?! Or will the left and the media just keep giving him a free pass?
Obama Appointment Scandal # 85 - Edward Chen 10/27/9 -
Judge Chen
Warner Todd Huston reports at Stop the ACLU: “One of those nominees, San Francisco U.S. Magistrate Judge Edward Chen, received a favorable vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee in Washington today. So what sort of judge is Edward Chen?…As an ACLU lawyer, Chen was known for opposing English-only policies and for pushing discriminatory affirmative action ideals. He even came to the aid of gang members in one case. Chen was quite the ACLU activist between 1979 and 2001…Chen wondered aloud if American patriotism was justified. Chen told the crowd of his, “feelings of ambivalence and cynicism when confronted with appeals to patriotism — sometimes I cannot help but feel that there are too much [sic] injustice and too many inequalities that prevent far too many Americans from enjoying the beauty extolled in that anthem.” Apparently, Chen feels that America is too racist to justify anyone feeling patriotism for her…Only ten days after 9/11 occurred, Chen remarked that he imagined that America would revert to the “irresistible forces of racism, nativism and scapegoating” of the past and begin systematic oppression of American Muslims. Later he likened America’s post 9/11 military and security policies to the climate that led up to Japanese internment during WWII…In a speech given at the Operation Protect and Defend dinner on May 4, 2006, Judge Chen referred to “secret surveillance of Americans without a judicial warrant, secret no fly lists, [and] secret detention of nearly a thousand American residents held without charges.” Naturally, he offered no proof of this wholesale but secret detention of Americans…Judge Chen will bring “diversity” to the bench as President Obama wants certainly. But will he also bring divisiveness and a desire to get even with all the racism he sees where ever he looks?” Bill O’Reilly featured him on The Factor tonight too.
Top Secret Health Care Meetings in “Most Open & Transparent Government?” 10/27/9 The Politico: “When Barack Obama was running for president, he vowed to lead the most open and transparent government in history. Candidate Obama even promised to negotiate health care reform live on television.Then it came time to govern, and President Obama has negotiated major parts of the health care bill behind closed doors. Earlier this year, he announced deals his administration had cut with drug companies and hospitals after brokering them out of public view. And now his top lieutenants are working in secret with leading Democrats to craft the health care bill that will be debated on the Senate floor. All of the insider wheeling and dealing has good-government groups disappointed in an administration that promised more openness than it has delivered. Bill Allison of the Sunlight Foundation expressed the watchdog community’s frustration when he said, bluntly, “This is a broken promise. We didn’t get anywhere near the level of transparency that we were promised.”
Obama Appointment Scandal # 86 - Stephanie Villafuerte 10/28/9 Michelle Malkin is on top of this story, “…the festering corruption scandal involving President Obama’s US Attorney nominee in Colorado, Stephanie Villafuerte…Villafuerte is entangled in the railroading of Denver ICE agent Cory Voorhis — whom federal prosecutors tried to punish after he blew the whistle on sweetheart deals for criminal illegal aliens during the 2006 gubernatorial campaign. A jury acquitted Voorhis of all federal
Villafuerte
charges. He’s trying to get his job back. At least one of his supervisors has admitted lying. Villafuerte served on Democrat gubernatorial candidate Bill Ritter’s campaign team while on leave from the Denver D.A.’s office and from all local news accounts was deeply involved in the witchhunt against agent Voorhis. But she refuses to answer any questions about her role in the case. And now she is poised to take over as US Attorney. Transparency? Ethics? Accountability? Anyone? From the Denver Post, unresolved contradictions and double standards: (Villafuerte)…told the FBI two years ago that she never spoke to anyone in the Denver District Attorney’s Office about an illegal immigrant who became a controversial figure in the 2006 gubernatorial race…, Carlos Estrada-Medina. But the FBI apparently never asked Villafuerte, the former chief deputy DA who was then working for Bill Ritter’s campaign, why she left a phone message for DA spokeswoman Lynn Kimbrough that Kimbrough noted was about Estrada-Medina. The FBI also apparently never asked her about the nature of a series of phone calls she exchanged over the next two days with Kimbrough and First Assistant DA Chuck Lepley. Those calls came both before and after an order by Lepley to a subordinate to run a criminal history check of Estrada-Medina in a restricted federal database. It can be a crime to access the National Crime Information Center computer for a non-law-enforcement purpose.”
Obama Administration Overstates Job Creation Numbers! 10/29/9 “Overstates” is a nice word for lie. Fox News reported: The White House is promising that new figures being released Friday will be a more accurate showing of progress in President Barack Obama’s economic recovery plan. It aggressively defended an earlier, faulty count that overstated by thousands the jobs created or saved so far.Ed DeSeve, serving as Obama’s stimulus overseer, said the administration has been working for weeks to correct mistakes in early counts that identified more than 30,000 jobs paid for with stimulus money. He said a new stimulus report Friday should correct many mistakes an Associated Press review found that showed the earlier report overstated thousands of stimulus jobs.”I think you’ll see a pretty good degree of accuracy,” DeSeve said in an interview.White House spokesman Robert Gibbs downplayed errors in job counts identified by the AP’s review, telling reporters, “We’re talking about 4,000, or a 5,000 error.” ConservativeAmerican.org notes it remains a scandal how much your federal government is spending for each job created, it is hundreds of thousands of dollars for each job!
Obama spent an outrageous $24,000 per vehicle for Cash for Clunkers!! 10/29/9 After forcing car dealers to destroy perfectly good used cars (making it harder for the poor to find affordable vehicles), we learn the Obama Cash for Clunkers program cost $24,000 per vehicle! That’s more than the cost of many vehicles! Edmunds.com reported the $24,000 figure. “Edmunds.com…found that of the nearly 690,000 vehicles sold under the program, only 125,000 of the sales could be credited directly to the Cash-for-Clunkers program.The rest of the sales would have happened anyway, despite the government program, the report said — raising questions over its effectiveness.The report also said that the average cost for a vehicle in August 2009 was only $26,915 — minus an average cash rebate of $1,667…The program was touted for giving a boost to auto sales while increasing the sales of more fuel-efficient vehicles.”
Obama’s Small Business Stimulus Lie 10/29/9 - AllBusiness.com reports, “We received a press release today from the always-fervent Lloyd Chapman, president of the American Small Business League and tireless champion of the little guy. In it, Chapman accuses Pres. Obama of…well, lying, basically. And he has a point. Obama’s much-ballyhooed small-business initiatives have amounted to almost nothing. Since the recession started, the feds have spent $2.8 trillion on economic stimulus. Of this, $17.3 billion has gone to small business. That comes to 0.6 percent. Put it another way: AIG got $180 billion in bailout money, while the 27 million small businesses in the U.S. have received $17.3 billion.”
Obama Administration says Privacy Act and Freedom of Information Act do not apply to the White House! 10/30/9 - Judicial Watch reports, “the Obama administration argued in a recent court filing that the Privacy Act does not apply to the Executive Office of the President! This court filing came in a Judicial Watch lawsuit filed in 1996 against the Clinton White House related to a scandal known as “Filegate,” where the Clinton White House obtained and maintained the private FBI files of hundreds of former Reagan and Bush officials…he Obama Justice Department stated the following: “The White House is not an agency under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), and it necessarily follows that it is not an agency subject to the Privacy Act.” However, the Privacy Act specifically lists the “Executive Office of the President” as an agency subject to the Act’s provisions…Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “It is disturbing that the Obama administration has taken the legal position that the Privacy Act does not apply to the White House and the Clinton FBI files scandal was not a scandal. It is worrying to those of us concerned about the Obama White House’s collecting “fishy” emails and compiling an enemies list of new organizations, radio hosts, businesses, and industry associations to attack and smear. Is the Obama defense of the FBI files scandal less about that Clinton scandal and more about what his White House is up to now?“
Obama Rewards Donors with White House Perks after saying he wouldn’t do that 10/30/9 I have mixed feelings on this one. I have no problem whatsoever with a politician giving harmless thanks (a visit to the White House, bowling in the White House, etc.) to key donors. The issue here, to me, is that Obama said he wouldn’t do this and now he is. The Washington Times reports, “During his first nine months in office, President Obama has quietly rewarded scores of top Democratic donors with VIP access to the White House, private briefings with administration advisers and invitations to important speeches and town-hall meetings…One top donor described in an interview with The Times being given a birthday visit to the Oval Office. Another was allowed use of a White House-complex bowling alley for his family. Bundlers closest to the president were invited to watch a movie in the red-walled theater in the basement of the presidential mansion. Mr. Obama invited his top New York bundler, UBS Americas CEO Robert Wolf, to golf with him during the president’s Martha’s Vineyard vacation in August. At least 39 donors and fundraisers also were treated to a lavish White House reception on St. Patrick’s Day….”The argument is not that I’m pristine, because I’m swimming in the same muddy water,” Mr. Obama said during a campaign appearance. “The argument is that I know it’s muddy, and I want to clean it up.” ”
Obama’s Broken Promise to Africa 10/31/9 - NewsReal blog reports, “Not only did Obama break promise after promise he made to Americans; he did the same with promises he made to Africans. When campaigning for the presidency, Obama said he would “boost money for AIDS funds, education program[s] and poverty-reduction.” But ten months after he took office, Africans are still waiting for the money and assistance the president pledged — while treatable diseases and starvation are killing large numbers of children on the continent.”
Obama’s Attorney General Breaks His
Jake Tapper
Own New “State Secrets” Rules! 10/31/9 The Obama Administration defending the Bush surveilance tactics?! How can this be? Jake Tapper at ABC News: “The Obama administration invoked the controversial “state secrets” privilege again on Friday, arguing that if U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker were to permit a legal case against the government to proceed, he would be putting national security at risk…Holder said he was invoking the privilege despite having outlined new policies and procedures last month containing new internal and external checks and balances for the Justice Department to follow before invoking the privilege, requiring “a thorough, multi-stage review and rely(ing) upon robust judicial and congressional oversight.”…”The Obama administration has essentially adopted the position of the Bush administration in these cases,” said Kevin Bankston, a lawyer for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, “even though candidate Obama was incredibly critical of both the warrantless wiretapping program and the Bush administration’s abuse of the state secrets privilege.” The Obama-Biden campaign website describes in part “The Problem” as the Bush administration having “invoked a legal tool known as the ’state secrets’ privilege more than any other previous administration to get cases thrown out of civil court.” But President Obama has invoked the state secrets privilege in a number of cases since taking office…The case is a class action suit brought by four Brooklynites alleging that the Bush administration engaged in wholesale dragnet surveillance of ordinary Americans in which they were unjustly caught because they regularly made phone calls and sent emails to individuals outside the U.S., specifically in the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Egypt, the Netherlands, and Norway.”
Obama Invites a Terrorist to the White House as a GUEST! 10/31/9 - Remember when candidate Obama lied and said Weather Underground Terrorist Bill Ayers was just some guy in his neighborhood? One of thousands of people that he just knows? Hmmm. They published a visitors list to the White House online now. Seems that Barack has had his pal Ayers (who has never apologized for his terrorist acts against our great nation) as a GUEST at the White House twice!! I thought Obama said Ayers would play no role in his administration! What an amazing liar this President is! Ayers is playing some kind of role for Obama. This one should make the blood boil of everyone who voted against him and should demonstrate to those who voted for him what an absolute fool he made of them!

Are you willing to continue the fight for freedom for our Posterity?
As people who believe in the principles and philosophies of the United States Constitution, we number in the majority. As folks that dare to consider standing against the tyranny being perpetrated by the Obama administration, we are in the majority across this great country. But the clock is ticking. Will we continue to entertain the idea that sitting on the couch complaining as we watch the news on television is an effective strategy, or are we ready to take action, and do more than rally at Tea Party events, or occasionally write an email to our representatives? Are we ready to do more than complain? Are we willing to, as the signers of the Declaration of Independence stated in the last sentence of the document, put on the line our “Lives, Fortunes, and sacred Honor?”
Natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.
The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country. - E. Vattel
JUST HOW DEVIOUS AND CORRUPT IS OBAMA AND HIS BAND OF MISCREANTS, PERVERTS AND LIARS?
Keeping Track of Obama Lies, Broken Promises
By Peter Andrew – ConservativeAmerican.org – Leading the way Right.
“President Obama is himself a broken promise. The love affair Americans had with the idea of the beautiful racial harmony we would get if we elected a half-black man to the White House has been ruined by the reality that President Obama means nothing that he says and intends to keep none of his promises.” – David Kraemer, ConservativeAmerican.org
The list below contains all of the Obama Administration mistakes, blunders, broken promises, flip flops, gaffes, lies, etc. That’s too long of a name, so we called it “the Official Obama Administration Scandals List.” This list covers Barack Obama and his pals from day one through September 4th, 2011. At that point, the list was discontinued. However, you can see information on more recent scandals on our NEW Obama Scandals List by clicking here! We present this list to you as an accurate and complete historic detail of the Legacy of Lies President Obama leaves behind for the time period starting with his youth and going until September 4th, 2011.

Pending an acceptable outcome of the vitally-important 2014 election—which affords the opportunity to elect a Congress that is willing to initiate impeachment proceedings against Barack Hussein Obama, and thereby stop, or even remove from office, this fraudulent usurper and his inner circle of collaborators—We the People of the United States of America affirm our allegiance to the timeless principles upon which our nation was founded, as set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, and upon the foundation of those principles, declare the causes which impel us to seek this despotic president's impeachment and removal.
We hereby allege that the history of the current President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama, is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over the American people. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world—
ARTICLE 1—Contempt for the Constitution
Mr. Obama has engaged, throughout his despotic tenure as president, in rule by edict and executive decree, bypassing Congress, and thus the will of the people, to enforce policies entirely of his own creation. Ignoring the federal government's foundation of a separation of powers, he has routinely violated duly enacted statutes of the Legislature, as well as defied the Courts, in pursuit of ultimate supremacy over the United States of America. In so doing, he has exhibited an unmistakable pattern of contempt for the U.S. Constitution, which prior to his ruinous tenure had served two centuries as the Law of the Land.
We therefore demand that this criminal, treasonous individual be removed from office without delay and held accountable for his destructive behavior, and that all his unlawful acts as president be considered of no effect or validity. We believe that the only effective way to achieve this urgent goal is to initiate impeachment.
ARTICLE 2—False pretenses
Mr. Obama has attained the office of president in a verifiably fraudulent and criminal manner, and upon a false identity and false pretenses.
We therefore demand immediate release of all currently sealed documentation of who he is; what his true history entails; what his earlier school, travel, and other records reveal about him; what his original (not photocopied) birth certificate makes clear; and all other relevant information in the public record now suppressed or intentionally falsified regarding him. We the People of the United States have a right to know such things about a man who currently serves as Commander-in-Chief of our nation's armed forces and oversees the entire Executive Branch of the U.S. government. We believe that the only effective way to force release of these records is impeachment.
ARTICLE 3—Criminal fraud
Upon taking office, Mr. Obama criminally defrauded Congress and the American people with false promises, uttered repeatedly in the public record about the nature, scope, and effect of his signature legislative achievement, "Obamacare," in a deceptive effort to gain passage of this catastrophic measure, which authorizes a sweeping federal takeover of America's healthcare industry.
We therefore demand that this healthcare travesty be immediately revoked, defunded, and declared null and void, and that this president be held accountable for intentionally misleading and defrauding the citizenry by means of this insidious scheme—a scheme that has already diminished the rightful choice of most Americans regarding their healthcare, has caused millions to lose their jobs due to its workplace requirements, and will cost our nation its material viability and vitality if allowed to go forward. We believe that the only effective way to ensure the dismantling of Obamacare is impeachment.
ARTICLE 4—Deliberate bankrupting of the U.S.
In a deliberate scheme to force the financial collapse of the United States, Mr. Obama and his collaborators have pushed the nation's "public debt"—that is, the difference between public spending and public receipts—to an unsustainable 17 TRILLION dollars, an amount exceeding our nation's Gross Domestic Product (or total value of goods and services) and more than doubling the debt's previous rate of growth. The effect is to impose an indebtedness of over $50,000 upon every man, woman, and child in the U.S., and more than $150,000 per taxpayer, numbers that indicate the U.S. is headed toward insolvency and our posterity will be forced to bear the dire consequences. The effect is even more dire when "unfunded liabilities" are factored in.
We therefore demand that the individual behind this destructive scheme assume all liability, upon his own person, for the amount the national debt has increased during his tenure, in company with all others who have collaborated with him in the Executive and Legislative Branches of the federal government in enacting this policy, listing them by name, and that the American people at large be absolved—by binding decree—of any and all liability for such wanton abuse of the public purse. We believe that the only effective way to attain such simple, reasonable justice is impeachment.
ARTICLE 5—Treasonous national security policy
By insidious design and outright treachery, Mr. Obama has dangerously weakened America's national security—through his emasculation of our military; his unilateral reduction of our missile defense system, thereby weakening American military superiority and inviting nuclear conflagration at home and abroad; his deceitful promotion and arming of radical Islamic interests in Egypt, Libya, Syria, and elsewhere; his catering, in domestic and foreign policy, to the Muslim Brotherhood, which is on record seeking the destruction of the United States; his fraudulent relations with Iran that will likely ensure this radically hostile nation succeeds in developing nuclear weapons; his continuing disregard for the vital interests of longtime American ally Israel; his unreasonable handicapping of our military's rules of engagement, dangerously favoring America's enemies; his alarming pattern of dismissing high-ranking military officers for groundless or superficial reasons; and similar anti-American policies and actions too numerous to mention.
We therefore demand that the Obama administration be forced immediately to cease and desist from its treasonous, unconstitutional, conspiratorial plot to take down America, and our allies with it, and that a sane, pro-American policy be adopted in its place for the purpose of protecting our nation from all threats to its continuance. We believe that the only effective way to enforce this urgent demand is impeachment.
ARTICLE 6—Treasonous cover-up of Benghazi
Mr. Obama has deceitfully sought to cover up his administration's involvement in a covert operation in Benghazi, Libya, that ran afoul September 11, 2012. The president's fabricated narrative of the causes and nature of the episode, which resulted in the deaths of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans, has been shown to be a cynical attempt to divert attention from what actually happened, including reports of treasonable administration dealings with terrorist insurgents in Syria. The administration's interference with investigations by Congress into the matter, and its the muzzling of witnesses and participants, hints that only the tip of the iceberg has yet been revealed regarding Mr. Obama's contemptuous behavior and dereliction of duty in this bloodstained scandal.
We therefore demand that all witnesses who have firsthand knowledge of the truth regarding the Benghazi fiasco be permitted to come forth without threat of retaliation and give their account of any and all relevant facts—including mounting evidence of Obama administration sympathy for Islamic terrorist organizations. We believe that the only effective way to ensure such unsuppressed testimony is impeachment.
ARTICLE 7—Plot to disarm the citizenry
Mr. Obama has repeatedly attempted to take advantage of isolated acts of violence in our nation involving firearms in the hands of deranged individuals to deprive law-abiding Americans of their constitutionally-guaranteed right to keep and bear arms, in a direct assault on the Second Amendment by someone who himself poses a growing threat to the security and well-being of our nation; and he has repeatedly made known his intention to succeed with his unconstitutional goal of disarming the people despite any setbacks he may encounter in Congress. So intent is he on imposing gun control that he even engaged in a deadly gunrunning hoax known as "Fast and Furious" to incite sympathy for tightening U.S. gun laws, then invoked executive privilege to cover up his administration's criminal involvement. He and his administration have also withheld or destroyed vital physical evidence that would corroborate events at Newtown, CT, in which 20 schoolchildren and six adults were reportedly killed by a disturbed gunman with an assault rifle—an incident the president has shamelessly exploited in his push for oppressive new gun legislation.
We therefore demand that the president immediately abandon such pursuit of tyranny and seek refuge in a nation more to his liking, one that already bans, or severely restricts, gun ownership by law-abiding citizens in consequence of despotic notions of governance. We believe that the only way to hasten this outcome is impeachment.
ARTICLE 8—Undermining U.S. border security
Similarly, Mr. Obama has repeatedly sought to undermine U.S. border security, and by extension America's very independence, by pushing misnamed "immigration reform" that would in reality open wide our borders, overburden the public coffers, and grant amnesty to the many millions of unlawful occupiers who have entered the country by stealth. Unable to achieve this agenda lawfully, through Congress, he has undertaken to achieve it dictatorially, in open violation of the Constitution and statutory immigration law. Ostensibly, the president intends, by his abandonment of longstanding U.S. immigration policy, to create a permanent under-culture of dependent immigrants who have little allegiance to America's founding ideals, upon whom to stand to remain in power indefinitely—either by himself, or in the person of likeminded schemers within his party.
We therefore demand that our nation's borders be made effectively secure, that existing immigration laws be reasonably and fairly enforced, that all persons seeking citizenship play fundamentally by the same rules, no matter the petitioners' origins, and that Mr. Obama's immigration policy and initiatives be rejected by Congress as the threat they are to our nation's security and strength, with his deceptive drive for "immigration reform" relegated permanently to the backwaters of history. We believe that the only way to ensure this outcome is impeachment.
ARTICLE 9—Engaging in mass surveillance
Mr. Obama has engaged in notorious overreach regarding domestic surveillance. A certain degree of targeted domestic surveillance may be considered justified, even essential, to protect American citizens from harm if conducted with appropriate oversight and in harmony with reasonable law—but indiscriminate spying on all citizens is indefensible and constitutes the very essence of a police state.
We therefore demand that the routine eavesdropping now being conducted by the National Security Agency (NSA) be curtailed to conform with appropriate safeguards, to permit only those functions that can be constitutionally defended. We believe that the only way to leverage this outcome is impeachment.
ARTICLE 10—Abusing IRS authority
Likewise, Mr. Obama and his IRS subordinates have notoriously abused the public trust by singling out, and arbitrarily penalizing, patriotic organizations awaiting approval of tax-exempt status so they might fundraise legally. By delaying approvals and sharing confidential information with potential adversaries, for purely political reasons, the Obama administration has violated federal statutes, and unlawfully handicapped these groups in their efforts to counter Mr. Obama's tyranny.
We therefore demand substantial monetary damages for these aggrieved organizations, and expedited approval of all "Tea Party," "conservative," and "libertarian" groups in the future. More to the point, because of its unavoidably political nature, we seek abolition of the IRS itself, and its replacement by a reasonable consumption or flat tax. We believe that the only way to bring about such an outcome is impeachment.
ARTICLE 11—Subverting America's morality
Most far-reaching and adverse of all his insidious deeds, in the acknowledged biblical perspective of our Creator, is that Mr. Obama has undertaken to subvert America's moral strength and means of perpetuation by promoting measures that weaken the natural, God-ordained family, and escalate the unthinkable aborting of America's posterity. As part of this corrupt effort, he has sanctioned the unconstitutional silencing of conscientious citizens and clergy who oppose homosexuality and its growing inclusion in lawful marriage; and he has approved stipulations in his healthcare plan that would force Americans opposed to abortion, or to anything related involving abortifacients or contraceptives, to directly fund such morally-offensive practices. These immoral, destructive policies—integral to the president's sweeping plan to transform America—militate not only against the Constitution, but the foundations of Judeo-Christianity upon which America is historically premised, to which the president appears to have an aversion.
We therefore demand that biblical morality be once again allowed the place of respect it has long enjoyed at the center of our nation's culture—on its own merits, without federal interference of any kind that would violate the First Amendment. We also call for immediately ending the moral and material travesty known as "Obamacare," including any requirement that American citizens or businesses personally underwrite abortion. We believe that the best way to ensure this fortuitous outcome, and reverse these federally-enforced intrusions, is the president's impeachment.
In every stage of these and other oppressions that could be cited, we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms—but our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury and blatant lies. A fraudulent usurper whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant is unfit to be the ruler of a free people, much less their president.
We the People, therefore, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do solemnly publish and declare, that because Barack Hussein Obama has verifiably corrupted, compromised, and endangered the essential institutions of the American Republic, as well as threatened the nation's very survival, we hereby appeal to the next Congress of the United States—which will convene in January 2015—to begin impeachment proceedings against Mr. Obama, and his fellow lawbreakers and facilitators within the Executive Branch, for the purpose of removing them from office with all diligence.
For the support of this action, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, We the People mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor, to save our beloved nation and preserve the rights and freedoms bequeathed us by God and protected by our revered Constitution.

THE TERRY LAKIN STORY
Barack Obama is NOT a “natural born Citizen of the United States” and is thus constitutionally ineligible to be the President and Commander in Chief of our military. Obama was born to a FOREIGN NATIONAL FATHER who was NEVER a U.S. Citizen nor was Obama’s father even an immigrant to the USA or even a permanent resident in the USA. For no other U.S. President in the history of the nation since the founding generation (who were exempt from the natural born Citizen clause in the U.S. Constitution via a grandfather clause in Article II Section 1) was that the case, i.e., having a foreign national father who was never a U.S. Citizen or even an immigrant to this country. Obama being seated as the putative president is an outrageous violation of Article II Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, the presidential eligibility clause. Obama was not born with sole allegiance to the USA. Sole allegiance and unity of Citizenship at birth was the goal and purpose for putting the natural born Citizen clause into Article II Section 1 of the Constitution as to who could serve as president once the founding generation has passed away. Obama (II) was born a British Subject via his foreign national father Obama (Sr.) who was a British Subject. Obama is not a “natural born Citizen of the United States” to constitutional standards since he was born with dual allegiance and citizenship. The founders and framers did not want anyone with foreign allegiance to ever get command of our military, i.e., be the president. Obama is constitutionally not eligible to be president and commander in chief of our military.
The Obama constitutional eligibility issue is not a fringe issue! South Carolina Poll Results – A poll done by Public Policy Polling (PPP) shows that almost 2/3 of GOP voters want Obama’s constitutional eligibility and true legal identity investigated. This is not a fringe issue: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.printable&pageId=340805

We have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on.
On MARCH 23, 1775, Patrick Henry spoke to the Second Virginia Convention, which was meeting in Richmond's St. John's Church due to British hostilities:
"I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery...
We have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated...We have prostrated ourselves before the throne...
Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence."
Patrick Henry continued:
"There is a just God who presides over the destines of nations...who will raise up friends to fight our battle for us.
The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave...
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!
I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death."

Usurper In The White House-Constitutional Crisis
AMERICA IN DISTRESS
Obama Sr a Kenyan was never a US Citizen. He could not pass on US Natural Born Citizenship status to Barack Obama Jr. No matter what is on Obama's birth certificate, no matter where he was born, he can NOT satisfy Article II Section 1 Clause 5 of the Constitution.....No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of the President, neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
"Our safety, our liberty, depends upon preserving the Constitution of the United States as our fathers made it inviolate. The people of the United States are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts - not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution." -- Abraham Lincoln
"Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people; and not for profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, the people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government; and to reform, alter, or totally change the same, when their protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness require it." -- John Adams
The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite." -- Thomas Jefferson
"If you love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." -- Samuel Adams
THIS ARTICLE SHOULD BE FORWARDED TO ALL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
It has been reported how past Hawaiian State practices with its birth certificate procedures have presented opportunities for birth certificate fraud. An example of such fraud is that of Chinese native, Sun Yat Sen, one of the founders of the Republic of China, who was born in China but was able to obtain a Certificate of Hawaiian Birth in 1904 based on his fraudulent affidavit and evidence submitted by witnesses to the Hawaiian authorities stating that he was born in Hawaii on November 24, 1870. http://www.scribd.com/doc/9830547/Sun-Yatsen-Certification-of-Live-Birth-in-Hawaii. See also the September 2000 report of the Office of Inspector General, entitled “Birth Certificate Fraud,” which provides an update on the nature and extent of birth certificate fraud, found at http://oig.hhs.gov/oei/reports/oei-07-99-00570.pdf. Because of critical importance of knowing for sure who the President is, the potential for birth certificate fraud, and since Obama’s original long-form birth certificate housed in the offices of the Hawaii Department of Health can be some type of certificate (even a Certificate of Hawaiian Birth) that is based on some family member’s affidavit of personal knowledge but which includes no documentary evidence of an actual birth in Hawaii, it becomes crucial to confirm whether there exists any corroborating evidence of Obama actually being born in Hawaii. Consequently, various members of the public have tried to obtain information that would adequately confirm Obama’s and the State of Hawaii’s statements that he was born in Hawaii. These concerned citizens have made requests to the State of Hawaii and to various hospitals there for such information. The State of Hawaii, Kapi’olani Medical Center, and Queens Medical Center (originally claimed by Obama’s sister to by his birth place) have publicly stated that they cannot release the needed details of Obama’s birth, including whether his deceased mother was even a maternity patient in any of those hospitals, because of Obama’s state and federal privacy rights. Not being successful, some of these concerned citizens, feeling duty bound to the Constitution and our country, have filed law suits and Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) actions against Obama and others to obtain this information.
Given that Obama and/or his agents have already publicly released some information regarding his place of birth, one commentator, William, has asked me on my blog ( http://puzo1.blogspot.com/. ) whether Obama has waived his privacy rights to such birth information. At least two arguments can be advance that Obama has waived any privacy right that he might have in his birth information located in the State of Hawaii and in its hospitals. One is that he has waived his privacy rights to his alleged long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate by posting his COLB on the internet for the world to see. A problem with this argument is that the COLB does not disclose all his private information (name of hospital, doctors, etc.) and he can argue that his waiver is only as to the information contained on the COLB and no more. As a response, it can be argued that Obama waived his privacy right as to the identity of the hospital in which he was born given that he allegedly wrote a letter dated January 24, 2009 to Kapi’olani Medical Center in which he acknowledge being born there and which letter the hospital posted on its web page (suspiciously posting not a scan of an actual paper letter but only a computer-generated image created with HTML code) for the world to see. For more details, see the WND story on the letter at http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=104146. I have grave doubts whether this letter is authentic given that both Obama and U.S. Rep. Neil Abercrombie D-Hawaii, who allegedly gave the letter to the hospital and publicly read the letter during the hospital’s centennial celebration, refuse to confirm whether this letter is real.
The second argument is more powerful and convincing. Under Article II, a would-be President must be a “natural born Citizen” to be eligible for the Presidency. Hence, any candidate knows that such “natural born Citizen” status is required to hold the public Office of President. No one winning an election and wanting to fill that public office has a reasonable expectation of privacy as to where he/she was born given that job’s eligibility requirement that one must be a “natural born Citizen.” See my article on this blog entitled, Obama’s Personal Right To Privacy Cannot Trump The Right Of The People To Know Who Their President Is, at http://puzo1.blogspot.com/2008/12/obamas-personal-right-to-privacy-cannot.html. Of course, that person’s obligation to prove his/her “natural born Citizen” status includes providing credible, competent, and sufficient documentary and other evidence of, among other things, place of birth. Clearly and without doubt, the public interest in knowing that the President-elect is eligible for the office he/she seeks to fill by far out weighs any privacy interest that the person may have in his/her birth documents. It is also clear that knowing who the person is who will occupy the Office of President and Commander in Chief concerns national security and the safety of the United States and the whole world. It is not reasonable to believe that such a person’s privacy interest would out weigh the People’s need to safeguard national security and for self-preservation. Simply put, it would be beyond absurdity to honestly contend that such a person has a right to shield from the same People that he/she is constitutionally duty bound to serve and protect information that he/she must provide to them to show that he/she is qualified for that singular and all-powerful public position which would vest him/her with great power to affect every aspect of the People’s lives.
But underneath the privacy rights question lurks a much more serious concern. We can see the absurdity of Obama sitting on privacy rights to conceal his long-form birth certificate from the public. It is downright despicable for our media and Congress and others to apologize for Obama and let him get away with it. They know full well that he has no such privacy rights. The birth information and documents that Obama refuses to reveal to the public surely are revealing of whether his is eligible to hold the Office of President. Why has the media not filed any legal actions against Obama, the State of Hawaii, and other parties, seeking to legally lift any privacy barriers to Obama’s birth information as it has so many times in the past filed actions against others running for public office who sought to prevent the public from learning details of some aspect of their private lives? What is a travesty of justice is that Obama was probably able to win his U.S. Senate seat because the media (Chicago Tribune) filed a legal action against rival Republican Jack Ryan in which it was successful in getting the “kinky sex” details of his divorce released to the public. Why the media in our country would believe what type of sex two consenting married adults practice is more important than making sure that the national security of our country is protected is beyond comprehension and represents the quintessence of warped priorities. I do not believe that anyone who truly cares about our country and Constitution can express enough in words the outrage that he/she feels about how cowardly our political leaders and media have acted with Obama on the question of his place of birth.
Congress has abdicated its constitutional oath and the media, the so-called fourth branch of our government, has failed to perform its journalistic duty to the People of the United States to assure them that Obama’s election to the highest and most powerful office in the land adhered to our Constitution and laws. Congress has been given a chance to correct its failings and still it refuses to perform its constitutional obligation. With the assistance of its media cronies and others, they all ridicule and suppress the efforts of those who are fighting to make sure that our Constitution has been respected in the last Presidential election and that our nation is safe with Obama currently occupying the Presidency and being the Commander in Chief of our military might.
We must then ask ourselves why Congress and the media have not pressed Obama for the necessary and relevant birth information for at least the sake of the integrity of the Presidential election process and the safety of our nation? Moreover, Obama cannot be an Article II “natural born Citizen” because under the British Nationality Act of 1948 when Obama was born in 1961 his father was a British subject/citizen and Obama himself was born a British subject/citizen. See Obama, the Putative President of the U.S., Is Currently Also a British Citizen, located at http://puzo1.blogspot.com/2009/07/obama-president-of-us-is-currently-also_29.html. Like a naturalized citizen who is not eligible to be President, Obama was born with an allegiance to a foreign power and is therefore not eligible to be President and more so not eligible to be the leader of our military men and women. To allow Obama to hide his birth information and to not challenge him for not being an Article II “natural born Citizen” is nothing more than at best, politicians and those in their coterie allowing corrupt party politics, self-interest, and/or cowardice to blind their constitutional duty to protect and defend our country and Constitution, at worst, part of someone’s plot to attack and destroy the United States from within, or both. Given that any attack on the United States will most likely come from within, these latter two scenarios must be given serious consideration and ruled out only after sufficient evidence exists to so rule them out. Hence, the deliberate or reckless failing by those who are supposed to protect and defend our country and Constitution is tantamount to treason.
All members of Congress that have allowed and continue to allow the raping of our Constitution and the placing of our nation at risk to being attacked from within need to be removed from Congress, without any exceptions. As to what to do with those members of the media and others who have failed and continue to fail to do their job to adequately protect and defend our Constitutional Republic, that is a question for another day.
