A challenge to Bill O'Reilly

I have a challenge to my old buddy Bill O'Reilly – put up or shut up!
You told your viewers this week that challenges to Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility are "bogus."
You claimed you and your news organization examined Obama's birth certificate last year and found it to be in order.
Can I ask a question, Bill? Why don't you simply reveal to your viewers exactly what you saw and what you found?
Fox News Channel's slogan is, "We report, you decide." Why don't you try actually reporting the story, rather than deciding for us?
Here's the story, Bill, whether you recognize it or not: Tens of millions of Americans have serious doubts about Obama's right to be in office. They are concerned that the system broke down and did not require proof of his constitutional qualifications. They don't want double talk like they've been getting from politicians and the media elite. They don't want more platitudinous assertions. They don't expect to have their well-informed suspicions be ridiculed by the likes of you, Shepherd Smith, Chris Matthews, the New York Times, the Associated Press and the rest of the media monopoly singing in harmony.
The American people have figured out what you apparently are unable or unwilling to discern: Obama's hiding something. One of the somethings he is undoubtedly hiding is his birth certificate.
I will go also out on a limb, Bill, and proclaim that you were, shall we say, disingenuous when you claimed to have inspected Obama's birth certificate. If you got your hands on it, why didn't you show it to your viewers? If your goal is, as you state, to put an end to a bogus story, the obvious way would have been to share with your audience what you saw.
I don't think you saw anything, Bill.
I think maybe you saw the same thing all of us have seen, "ad nauseum," to quote Press Secretary Robert Gibbs. I think you saw the certification of live birth – a totally meaningless document with regard to proving presidential eligibility.
Why is it meaningless with regard to proving constitutional eligibility as a "natural born citizen"? Simple. There were numerous easy ways to obtain one without being born in Hawaii!
What about the other heavyweight evidence cited as conclusive by people convinced that "birthers" are just a bunch of fruit loops? Those would be the two newspaper birth announcements appearing contemporaneously in two Hawaii dailies. Surely that settles the matter? No, it doesn't. In fact, the newspaper ads
were less meaningful than the certification of live birth because they were automatically generated by the issuance of that document.
So far, after listening very carefully to the case for Obama's Hawaiian birth, that is the totality of evidence I have heard. Do you have anything else, Bill? What did your crack research team find? The people have a right to know.
Knowing what I have just told you, how is it possible you can be 100 percent convinced Obama was born in Hawaii? And, even if you are, what's wrong with Obama springing for $10 and getting a copy of the original long-form birth certificate for the rest of us?
I'll go further, Bill.
I think you liked taking a cheap shot at your worthy and honorable competitor at CNN, Lou Dobbs. Dobbs has showed great courage and independence in taking on a story against the public wishes of his network brass and bucking the tide of his entire industry.
You ought to admire that, Bill.
You ought to emulate it.
Furthermore, I think you chose the easy road on this story because you are sucking up to Obama in hopes of another one of those ratings-generating exclusive interviews in which the American people learn nothing. That's not good journalism, Bill. Journalism is comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable. Journalism is serving as a watchdog on government and other powerful institutions.
Where's the fairness, Bill? Where's the balance your network promises?
Where are the articulate voices who have a question for which there is no answer forthcoming: "Where's the birth certificate?"
You have chosen to join the state-run media pack and mock the genuinely civic-minded concerns of the people. For that there is no excuse. Bloviating, to use one of your favorite words, is no substitute for honest reporting.
You can't see that Obama is hiding something – hiding lots of things? His birth certificate, his school records, his college records, his law school writings, his selective service records, his travel records, his adoption records, his finances.
Come on, Bill?
Is it worth it?
Where is the integrity? What do you know that I don't know? My news organization has devoted far more time, effort, resources, manpower and sweat in investigating this story than your very wealthy media conglomerate. What do you think you know that I don't know? Why are you aiding in one of the biggest propaganda cover-ups in American history?
The American people had high hopes for the Fox News Channel and shows like yours. But they have failed us in telling this most important story.
Our country is being transformed rapidly by an administration
that is of highly questionable legality.
This is no joking matter.

GUL has long since realized that Bill O'Reilly is a pompous ass and a sell-out to the almighty dollar. No spin zone? This guy spins every day! I often wonder what side is he on?

OBAMA...HE CARES ONLY ABOUT HIMSELF...
July 31, 2009
Obama's revealing body language (updated and expanded))
Thomas Lifson AMERICAN THINKER
This picture truly is worth at least a thousand words.
after the beers
I am stunned that the official White House Blog published this picture and that it is in the public domain. The body language is most revealing.
Sergeant Crowley, the sole class act in this trio, helps the handicapped Professor Gates down the stairs, while Barack Obama, heedless of the infirmities of his friend and fellow victim of self-defined racial profiling, strides ahead on his own. So who is compassionate? And who is so self-involved and arrogant that he is oblivious?
In my own dealings with the wealthy and powerful, I have always found that the way to quickly capture the moral essence of a person is to watch how they treat those who are less powerful. Do they understand that the others are also human beings with feelings? Especially when they think nobody is looking.
Update from Thomas Lifson:
I think this photo constitutes another major Obama blunder.
As some AT commentators point out, this picture becomes a metaphor for ObamaCare. The elderly are left in the back, with only the kindness of the Crowleys of the world, the stand up guys, to depend on. The government has other priorities.
One of the major subtexts of the health care debate involves the public's fear of indifferent, powerful bureaucrats ruling their lives. It is one thing to wait in line at the DMV to find out which other line you should wait in, in order to begin the process of waiting for multiple bureaucrats to go through the motions of processing your request. I have spent entire afternoons going through this process.
But when we get to health care, waiting often means enduring pain and dysfunction longer than necessary, sometimes a worsening of the condition, and sometimes death.
That's why I think this image will have genuine resonance. It captures something that older Americans in particular can relate to. The President presses ahead with a program that will tell them to take painkillers instead of getting that artificial hip.
At every stage of the entire Gates affair, Obama has provided a revealing tell. The "acted stupidly" blunder revealed that he automatically blames the police and thinks they really are stupid to begin with. It didn't trigger a single alarm bell in his mind as he figured out what to say.
Then, the non-apology apology revealed an arrogant man who cannot do what honest people do: admit it when they make a mistake.
Now at stage three, the beer photo op looked OK. It didn't turn into a disaster.
But then in a small moment that nobody in the White House had the brains to understand, Obama goes and send a body language message like this.
I think he is going to get deeper and deeper into trouble. He is no longer repeating the familiar scripts dreamed up for the campaign. He was a master performer.
But when he goes improv, as a president must do, he lets his true character show. This helps widen the level of doubt that Obama is the same guy a majority voted for. Those doubts can only grow.
Andrew McCarthy has assembled an overwhelming case that Obama has lied about who he is. I predict that more and more Americans will become open to the argument that they have been had by a sophisticated and ruthless effort to foist a phony on America.

THIS GREAT AMERICAN PATRIOT AND NAVY VETERAN HAS THE RIGHT IDEA: WE NEED TERM LIMITS AND WE NEED TO START NOW AND VOTE ALL THESE PARASITES IN CONGRESS OUT!
Obama's Attempt to ReWrite History
Redacted and reprinted from a citizen with permission.
Dear Mrs. Mxxxxxxx:
Thank you for taking the time to contact me about President Obama and his eligibility to be President under Article II of the Constitution. I appreciate hearing from all Pennsylvanians about the issues that matter most to them.
Article II of the Constitution states that "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 President." This clause is generally interpreted to mean that one must be born as a U.S. citizen on American soil in order to become president. During the 2008 presidential election, concerns were raised about the ability of both Senator McCain and then-Senator Obama to meet this constitutional requirement. Questions about Senator McCain's eligibility centered around his birth on a naval base in the Panama Canal Zone, but a Senate Resolution, S. Res. 511, passed by unanimous consent on April 30, 2008, officially recognized Senator McCain as a natural born citizen.
While not every American voted for Mr. Obama, and it is unlikely that you or I will agree with every decision he makes while in office, I am confident that Mr. Obama meets all the constitutional requirements to be our 44th president. Mr. Obama has posted a copy of his birth certificate on his campaign website and submitted an additional copy to the independent website FactCheck.org. The birth certificate demonstrates that he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1961, thereby making him a natural-born citizen eligible to be president.
I share your strong belief in upholding the Constitution and want to thank you for sharing your concern with me. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future about this or any other matter of importance to you.

Dear Senator Casey,
THE CONSTITUTION STATED TWO PARENTS OF US. CITIZENSHIP.... NOT ONE BUT “ T W O”!!!!!! The man in the white house had only (1) one parent of American citizenship ....his mother.
The leaders of this country did a terrible disservice to American Citizens by not following the Constitution to the letter of the law!!!! The contempt they display flaunting it to the people of the world is appalling.
I am disappointed with the lack of respect for the men and women who fought to uphold this precious document and the principals for which it stands. As a former Army Officer, I am truly saddened by the blatant disregard by the Congress and Senate who fail to recognize what the Constitution entails and the rules by which the founding members of the United Colonies determined eligibility!!!!
NATURAL BORN CITIZEN,
Dxxxxxx Mxxxxxxx

From the editors of GUL- Please take note Barack Obama was a co-sponsor of SR511, that it mistates the facts. Natural Born Citizen as defined by the 1st Congress of 1790 was not the correct citation. The 3rd Congress of 1795 re-stated and corrected the statute regarding NBC status.
Also note V.P. Cheney and Judge Chertoff's exchange.

S. RES. 511__
Recognizing that John Sidney McCain, III, is a natural born citizen.
_______________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
Mrs. MCCASKILL (for herself and Mr. LEAHY, Mr. OBAMA, Mr. COBURN, Mrs. CLINTON, and Mr. WEBB) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on
_______________
RESOLUTION
Recognizing that John Sidney McCain, III, is a natural born citizen.
Whereas the Constitution of the United States requires that, to be eligible for the Office of the President, a person must be a ‘‘natural born Citizen’’ of the United States;
Whereas the term ‘‘natural born Citizen’’, as that term appears in Article II, Section 1, is not defined in the Constitution of the United States;
Whereas there is no evidence of the intention of the Framers or any Congress to limit the constitutional rights of children born to American citizens serving in the military nor to prevent those children from serving as their country’s President;
Whereas such limitations would be inconsistent with the purpose and intent of the ‘‘natural born Citizen’’ clause of the Constitution of the United States, as evidenced by the First Congress’s own statute defining the term ‘‘natural born Citizen’’;
Whereas the well-being of all citizens of the United States is preserved and enhanced by the men and women who are assigned to serve our country outside of our national borders;
Whereas previous presidential candidates were born outside of the United States of America and were understood to be eligible to be President; and
Whereas John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens on an American military base in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That John Sidney McCain, III, is a ‘‘natural born Citizen’’ under Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States.
Statement Of Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.),
Chairman, Committee On The Judiciary,
On The Introduction Of A Senate Resolution
April 10, 2008
Today I join Senator Claire McCaskill in introducing a resolution to express the common sense of everyone here that Senator McCain is a “natural born Citizen,” as the term is used in the Constitution of the United States. Our Constitution contains three requirements for a person to be eligible to be President – the person must have reached the age of 35; must have resided in America for 14 years; and must be a ‘‘natural born Citizen’’ of the United States. Certainly there is no doubt that Senator McCain is of sufficient years on this earth and in this country given that he has been serving in Washington for over 25 years. However, some pundits have raised the question of whether he is a “natural born Citizen” because he was born outside of the official borders of the United States.
John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens on an American Naval base in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936. Numerous legal scholars have looked into the purpose and intent of the “natural born Citizen” requirement. As far as I am aware, no one has unearthed any reason to think that the Framers would have wanted to limit the rights of children born to military families stationed abroad or that such a limited view would serve any noble purpose enshrined in our founding document. Based on the understanding of the pertinent sources of constitutional meaning, it is widely believed that if someone is born to American citizens anywhere in the world they are natural born citizens.
It is interesting to note that another previous presidential candidate, George Romney, was also born outside of the United States. He was widely understood to be eligible to be President. Senator Barry Goldwater was born in a U.S territory that later became the State of Arizona so some even questioned his eligibility. Certainly the millions of Americans who voted for these two Republican candidates believed that they were eligible to assume the office of the President. The same is true today.
Because he was born to American citizens, there is no doubt in my mind that Senator McCain is a natural born citizen. I recently asked Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff, a former Federal judge, if he had any doubts in his mind. He did not. I ask unanimous consent that the relevant excerpt from the Judiciary Committee hearing where Secretary Chertoff testified be made a part of the record.
I expect that this will be a unanimous resolution of the Senate and I thank the Senator from Missouri for working with me on this.

EXCERPT OF SECRETARY CHERTOFF TESTIMONY FROM APRIL 2, 2008:
Chairman Leahy. We will come back to that. I would mention one other thing, if I might, Senator Specter. Let me just ask this: I believe--and we have had some question in this Committee to have a special law passed declaring that Senator McCain, who was born in the Panama Canal, that he meets the constitutional requirement to be President. I fully believe he does. I have never had any question in my mind that he meets our constitutional requirement. You are a former Federal judge. You are the head of the agency that executes Federal immigration law. Do you have any doubt in your mind--I mean, I have none in mine. Do you have any doubt in your mind that he is constitutionally eligible to become President?
Secretary Chertoff. My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural-born American citizen.
Chairman Leahy. That is mine, too. Thank you.

ELIGIBILITY QUESTIONS...IT'S ALL BECAUSE HE'S BLACK...WE ARE ALL RACISTS! UNBELIEVABLE!
Right-wing fringe claims Obama ineligible for presidency
By Virginie Montet (AFP)
WASHINGTON — A small group of fringe conservatives, many fundamentally opposed to the notion of an African-American as president, are challenging President Barack Obama's eligibility for the US presidency.
On blogs and even before US courts, the so-called "Birthers" are using the Constitution, with its stipulation that presidents be US natural born citizens, to argue Obama should not be in the White House.
Despite proof that Obama was born in the US state of Hawaii, including a birth certificate affirming that fact, rumors continue to spread, fueled by a group that critics say includes right-wing militants, racists and Holocaust deniers.
[EXCUSE ME? WHAT PROOF?]
"These are people who are fundamentally either racist or extreme right-wingers. That's where the whole movement is coming from," said Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which studies extremist groups.
[REALLY? IS THAT RIGHT?]
The movement is composed of "people who very much do not want Barack Obama to be president, largely because he is black, certainly because he is liberal," he added.
[AND HOW DID YOU COME TO THIS CONCLUSION? CAN YOU SITE YOUR SOURCES? WHO SAID THAT WE "WANT HIM OUT BECAUSE HE'S BLACK"? GO BACK TO FRANCE...YOU INTERFERING FRENCH BIMBO!]
On sites like WorldNetDaily.com, where a petition questioning Obama's place of birth has attracted more than 400,000 electronic "signatories," the so-called Birthers are daily raising "new doubts about the story of Obama's birth."
One of them has already tried in vain three times to sell on Ebay a birth certificate purporting to show that Obama was born in Kenya.
They are also taking their cause before US courts, where several lawsuits claiming that Obama was not born on US soil have been dismissed, including by the Supreme Court, which refused to hear argument on the issue.
At the beginning of the week, authorities in the state of Hawaii were forced for the second time since the senator from Illinois became president to certify that Barack Hussein Obama was in fact born in the Kapiolani maternity ward in Honolulu on August 4, 1961 at 7:24 pm local time.
[IS THAT RIGHT?...YOU MORON]
The US House of Representatives on Monday passed a non-legally-binding text on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Hawaii's entry in the United States, affirming that "the 44th president of the United States was born in Hawaii."
[WOW and so that makes it true?]
"In America there is a history of conspiracy thinking that... is part of a tradition of dissent," said Chip Berlet of Political Research Associates, which studies right-wing movements.
Berlet said a small percentage of the population believes the government has been taken over by a "secret elite" that includes "freemasons, the Catholics, Jewish bankers" and others.
He noted that former president Bill Clinton was also the subject of conspiracy theories that claimed he was seeking the help of the United Nations to confiscate all weapons on American soil.
While the movement has an audience of several hundreds of thousands of sympathizers, their theories are also being broadcast by media figures such as CNN's Lou Dobbs and radio host Rush Limbaugh.
"So you have this right-wing social movement, relatively small but angry, and then you have these major public figures, inflaming them with rhetoric and conspiracy allegations on national television," Berlet told AFP.
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, there were 926 racist groups in the United States in 2008, compared to 602 in 2000 -- a rise of 54 percent.
"I think that's very significant, and the numbers continue to rise," said Potok. "Very likely the white supremacist world has been energized by the election of a black man into the White House."

Will Hawaii destroy Obama's birth certificate?
Investigator cites procedural changes that could allow it

The state of Hawaii has made a series of procedural changes that would allow officials to destroy President Obama's original long-form birth certificate, concealing its contents forever.
The warning comes in a report by an investigator commissioned by a retired CIA officer.
The report was posted online by the Western Center for Journalism, which withheld the name of the officer.
"We know from a document posted on June 10, 2009, on the Department of Hawaiian Homelands website that, up until very recently, either the original paper Certificates of Live Birth and/or scanned images of those paper certificates were maintained by the Dept of Health, and copies of them were provided to confirm claims of Hawaiian ancestry," said a newly posted update to the report.
"But if in June 2009 the Department of Hawaiian Homelands has decided that it will no longer require the original Certificate of Live Birth as proof for special privileges and the Department of Health spokesman says firmly that they will no longer provide copies of these original certificates, is it possible that, in the midst of the controversy over where Barack Obama was born, the Hawaiian state govt has destroyed the original paper certificate of live birth?" continued the investigator's report.
"This seems almost incredible to me, but the authorities have been so deceptive and evasive on this issue, that it cannot be dismissed as impossible," the report concluded.
Want to turn up the pressure to learn the facts? Get your signs and postcards asking for the president's birth certificate documentation here.
Even such a draconian move probably would not finish questions about Obama's origins, however, since WND has reported that among other documentation not yet available for Obama is his kindergarten records, Punahou school records, Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, passport, medical records, files from his years as an Illinois state senator, Illinois State Bar Association records, any baptism records and his adoption records.
WND reported earlier on the fact that while the Hawaii Health Department
says it currently only issues a "Certification of Live Birth," the state's Department of Hawaiian Home Lands required an original "Certificate of Live Birth" to qualify for its programs.
Tell Obama you don't buy his state-run media coverup!
"This is a more complete record of your birth than the Certification of Live Birth," said the Homelands website. "Submitting the original Certificate of Live Birth will save you time and money since the computer-generated Certification requires additional verification by DHHL."
However, at the height of questions over the various documents, the state's DHHL suddenly changed its website reference to allow for the "Certification of Live Birth" as a formal authentication document.
It was only weeks earlier when WND pointed out that the document Barack Obama has released as proof of a Hawaiian birth was not accepted by the Hawaiian Home Lands program, presumably because it was not a reliable test of an actual Hawaiian birth.
The investigator commissioned by the CIA officer said the change followed a statement from the state, through spokeswoman Janice Okuba, that the state did not release copies of original birth certificates any longer.
"Ms. Okubo's statement gave the false impression that Obama could not gain access to or release 'the original Certificate of Live Birth,' and that it was the DOH's policy rather than his own reluctance that was responsible for the holding back of this Certificate," the investigator said
"This was an obvious deception. The document at the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands website indicates that at the time she made this statement it was false, and that a procedure was in place for application for 'the original Certificate of Live Birth,'" the report said.
"Only the information on the original birth certificate, 'the original Certificate of Live Birth,' can demonstrate to the people of the United States whether there is convincing evidence that he was actually born here or whether a relative or two (or possibly even Barack Obama himself) just made a statement to that effect to a low level bureaucrat," the report said.
The action sometime between June 10 and 18 upgraded "the apparent status of the abbreviated Certification of Live Birth which it had formerly regarded as insufficiently probative. Why?" said the report.
WND reported earlier that the document Obama posted on his campaign website and distributed to select news organizations as proof he was a "natural born citizen" would not be accepted as a "birth certificate" even for some Hawaiian state government eligibility issues.
WND also previously reported certifications of live birth were widely issued to Hawaiians born in foreign countries in 1961, the year Obama was born. No federal or state official has ever explained why a document issued for foreign births could possibly be used to establish eligibility as a "natural born citizen."
Okubo also has said the state began issuing only "Certifications of Live Birth" in 2001 when the health department went paperless. It is only available in electronic form, she said.
Hawaii's director of health, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, also this week issued a second statement that she has seen the "original birth records" that verify Obama was born in Hawaii and is a "natural-born American citizen."
But in two separate telephone interviews with WND, Okubo, the health department's public information officer, told WND that Hawaii law prohibited her from commenting on the birth records of any specific person.
WND also reported the Hawaii Department of Heath said no paper birth certificate records were destroyed when the department moved to electronic record-keeping in 2001.
That statement from Okubo contradicted CNN U.S. President Jon Klein, who ordered host Lou Dobbs to quit discussing Obama's birth certificate on the air. Klein insisted the issue was "dead" because Obama's original long-form birth certificate had been destroyed by the Hawaii DOH in the conversion to electronic files.

Action Needed
Senator John Cornyn (R) Texas is a member of the Senate Judicary Committee. He has a facebook account which he uses as a means to converse with his constituents. As a member of the Judicary Committee he represents us all with regard to Constitutional matters.
Here is my recent written facebook exchange of dialogue wth Sen Cornyn:
Stephen J Cyrier Thank you,Senator Cornyn for taking my tele-townhall question Wednesday evening, it was a true honor. I did have another question, but I refrained from employing an ambush question on a live broadcast, out of my deep respect for you both as my Senator and as a man .
As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, you understand that Article II Sec I requires the Presidency be occupied by a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. Barack Obama Jr is ineligible by his own admission, that admission being-- his father was a British citizen ; and to our knowledge never a US citizen. Obama's admission is found in his book "Dreams From My Father."
The 3rd US Congress of 1795 recorded into the Congressional Record provides the statute which defines NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. If the chapter citation is needed please email me.
Sentor Cornyn we have a Usurper in the White House and it is your sworn duty to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, Please do your duty sir. ASKED 7/29/09
You like this.
John Cornyn
I believe a lawsuit on this subject has been dismissed
RESPONSE 7/30/09
Stephen J Cyrier: Thank you for your reply Senator regarding my questioning of Obama's eligibility. While it is true a suit was dismissed (unfairly) that does not preclude the Senate Judiciary Committee from launching a Senate Hearing on the matter, or conducting a Senate Investigation into this matter, which millions of Americans, including our military are questioning. ASKED 7/30/09
The question above was deleted from his page. 7/31/09
Stephen J Cyrier Please explain to us the meaning of NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. Was Barack Obama's father ever a US citizen? ASKED 7/31/09
The question above was deleted from his page. 7/31/09
Stephen J Cyrier Is our beloved Constitution, the original contract with America now a worthless piece oF paper? ASKED 7/31/09
Status:Pending Cornyn's response
Some form of representative government of WE THE PEOPLE don't you think. Now even our Senators practice censorship of the 1st amendment.
Sure Cornyn could claim, albeit weakly, 4 questions over a 3 day period from one citizen was spamming his facebook site. But these questions were respectfully submitted and worthy of a response, not erased as if to sweep something under the carpet.
Apparently Sen Cornyn does not want to hear from me further on this matter.
How about you, maybe he would take your respectful, and I emphasis respectful question on this matter. Shrillness only makes us look like fools. Go to his facebook page ask the question he erased. If it comes from many of us he will get our point.
Please send this on to all in your address book and ask them to continue sending it along.

A LETTER TO GLENN BECK - A MUST READ
Dear Glenn,
30 July 2009
I will get right to the point. Either out of ignorance or with intent your recent comments on your television program are nothing less than a slap right across the face of each and every Soldier that serves and has ever served this great Country. How could you do this to us? You contend that you are supportive of the military and yet when it comes to an issue vitally important to us you scoffed, demeaned and ridiculed those of us who serve and are fighting to defend the Constitution. You placed us right along side Whoopi Goldberg who, to my knowledge, never served in the military a day in her life. You have insulted our intellect and integrity.
Until now I had been a big supporter of you. Now I am left to question your very motives. Has money become your new God or was it simply a mistake on your part? Whatever the case is, I need and deserve an explanation and an apology for your actions.
There is little more we military ask of our Country in return for our service other than to be respected and given the benefits we earn in peace and on the field of battle. Of paramount importance to me and most every American soldier is that we fulfill our duty with honor and that we are given lawful orders and not left to question or have cause for reservation. As we take our oath without reservation we should not be given reservation by those appointed above us. If we are to be sent into harms way, there should be no doubt whatsoever, we are being sent by someone who has the moral AND the legal authority to do this.
This is an indisputable fact. The ONLY evidence that Barak Hussein Obama himself has been willing to produce to assure us he has that authority is an altered ( sanitized serial number ) COLB posted on HIS web site “fight the smears”. That is it and NOTHING more. This is absolutely absurd. I refuse to accept any .com outfit as the proper authority to certify the authenticity or legal substance of this document and be involved in the vetting process of a President as many in Congress have done; derelict cowards! Obama has hired teams of attorneys to prevent releasing the long form vault copy of his birth certificate so that what he presented can be substantiated as a valid extract of information from the original as well as other vital documents to prove he is even a US citizen. If you doubt this, ask anyone who claims to have seen his birth; what is the doctors name on the certificate? As a Physician, I know what information is on a birth certificate and so should you. If they can not tell you the name of the Doctors they have not seen it.
There are other issues as well; specifically Obama’s father who was Kenyan and was NEVER a US citizen. To be considered in full compliance of the Natural Born Citizen clause I contend you must have BOTH parents US citizens and be born in the US. The founders recognized that the power of the President over the military was not to be taken lightly.
They wanted to insure, as best they could, the person who held that office would have an undivided loyalty to the Union and not compromise their hard won liberty by any device. The BEST that they could do was to require that the President be born in the United States but more importantly be raised by parents (pleural) who themselves did not have divided loyalty and thus would have to be US citizens. Given the paternal nature of society at the time this is especially true with regard to the father. Nevertheless, this issue if need be should be addressed by the Supreme Court which they have failed to do and no court to date has heard this case on the merits.
Let me be clear, as a military officer I have a legitimate reason to
question ANY order if there is a good faith reason to doubt it, even from the President, as my officer oath is to the Constitution, not him.
Based on the information I have I am justified in my right to question and I am being denied the answer. Have you yourself not seen enough to doubt anything Obama has said? Why do you believe him about this? Why do you believe anyone who attacks us for even asking? Stop and think then listen to your instincts. There is something he is hiding that is vitally important and we have a right to know what that is as it potentially has bearing on the legality of the orders he gives us.
We are not a bunch of “tin foil hat birther conspiracy theorists”. We are wise enough to know that before you conjecture regarding a “conspiracy” you must first establish if there has been a crime and only then ask if it is reasonable multiple people are complicit. It is those who discredit us, as YOU have, that resort to the postulation of a “conspiracy theory” to dismiss our reasonable concerns before the documentary evidence is examined; a typical Saul Alinsky tactic which you now have used against us! You have seen it used over and over so you should recognize it. We are NOT postulating any conspiracy theory, we want to see the documents and THEN decide if there is a problem and who would or should have reasonably known.
You are not alone. Even Gov. Mike Huckabee went so far as to “postulate a theory” that Hillary would have been “all over it” if it were true, discrediting us rather than take a stand and demand Barak Obama release the evidentiary documents to put this to rest. I recognize that it is much easier for others to postulate a “theory” why a breech of our Constitution “could not possibly have happened” then cower and hide from a serious effort to discover the truth and take a stand. We have a special term for this in the military and let me just say it is not endearing. Please pass this along to your Colleague and Ann Coulter, Bill O Reilly too if you see them; shame on all of you. I gave all of you more credit than that, of all people you should recognize the tactics of the radical left.
You ask America to stand up for the Constitution and when those of us who risk our reputations and our fortunes do so, you ridicule us. Take a long hard look in the mirror and ask yourself; have I failed to give due consideration and respect to the American soldier by my actions? Have I contributed to a mass effort by the Radical Elements in our country to bring discredit upon them and upon the Constitution they fight and die to preserve?
If the answer is yes then I challenge you and your colleagues to stand with us and demand that Barak Obama release all the documents he currently has sealed and begin to put this issue to rest
and do not cease in your efforts until we have an answer.

Why do you believe him about this? Why do you believe anyone who attacks us for even asking? Stop and think then listen to your instincts. There is something he is hiding that is vitally important and we have a right to know what that is as it potentially has bearing on the legality of the orders he gives us.
We are not a bunch of “tin foil hat birther conspiracy theorists”. We are wise enough to know that before you conjecture regarding a “conspiracy” you must first establish if there has been a crime and only then ask if it is reasonable multiple people are complicit. It is those who discredit us, as YOU have, that resort to the postulation of a “conspiracy theory” to dismiss our reasonable concerns before the documentary evidence is examined; a typical Saul Alinsky tactic which you now have used against us! You have seen it used over and over so you should recognize it. We are NOT postulating any conspiracy theory, we want to see the documents and THEN decide if there is a problem and who would or should have reasonably known.
You are not alone. Even Gov. Mike Huckabee went so far as to “postulate a theory” that Hillary would have been “all over it” if it were true, discrediting us rather than take a stand and demand Barak Obama release the evidentiary documents to put this to rest. I recognize that it is much easier for others to postulate a “theory” why a breech of our Constitution “could not possibly have happened” then cower and hide from a serious effort to discover the truth and take a stand. We have a special term for this in the military and let me just say it is not endearing. Please pass this along to your Colleague and Ann Coulter, Bill O Reilly too if you see them; shame on all of you. I gave all of you more credit than that, of all people you should recognize the tactics of the radical left.
You ask America to stand up for the Constitution and when those of us who risk our reputations and our fortunes do so, you ridicule us. Take a long hard look in the mirror and ask yourself; have I failed to give due consideration and respect to the American soldier by my actions? Have I contributed to a mass effort by the Radical Elements in our country to bring discredit upon them and upon the Constitution they fight and die to preserve?
If the answer is yes then I challenge you and your colleagues to stand with us and demand that Barak Obama release all the documents he currently has sealed and begin to put this issue to rest
and do not cease in your efforts until we have an answer.

OBAMA FRAUD CONTINUES TO UNRAVEL
Please read this important article
Guess what? More on Usurpers Birth
In 1961, the Public Health Services, U. S Department of Health, Education and Welfare, National Center for Health Statistics, National Vital Statistics Division published the “Vital Statistics of the United States — Volume I — Nativity.”
http://www.oilforimmigration.org/facts/?p=2704
Now, here comes the good stuff. Page 231 contains the requirements for “Race and color.”
“Births in the United States in 1961 are classified for vital statistics into white, Negro, American Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Aleut, Eskimo, Hawaiian and Part-Hawaiian (combined), and “other nonwhite.”
Do you see a classification for “African?” I certainly don’t.
(Copy of a Certificate of Live Birth from Hawaii see:
http://www.theobamafile.com/_images/HawaiinBirthCertificate.jpg
at that time they did not use the word African for race of the father.)
Now, let’s look at the document that Obama has provided for certifying his eligibility for the Office of the President of the United States and that is displayed on Annenberg FatCheck.org.
FATHER’S RACE is “African” — an incorrect entry for that data field. Just a typo? I don’t think so. The Obot who created the bogus Certification of Live Birth just couldn’t type the word “Negro.” Negro is just not politically correct, don’tcha know.
Oh, what tangled webs we weave, when first we practice to deceive.
This information was provided by Steve Cee, a genealogist, who has also authored this new analysis (graphics-heavy MS Word document) of the Obama Certification of Live Birth (COLB). Steve’s contribution adds to Dr. Ron Polarik’s extensive forensic examination.
Obama’s COLB is demonstrably counterfeit. It’s a fraud — as is Obama.
Thank you Bruno Erico.

JUST RELEASE THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE BARRY!
From the HUFFINGTON POST!
by Mark Joseph

The only thing weirder than the Birthers are the anti-Birthers, who blame the Birthers for being conspiracy theorists yet actively feed the conspiracy by refusing to call for President Obama to release his birth certificate.
The state official in Hawaii who manages such things has reiterated that there is indeed an original birth certificate on file which would confirm President Obama's having been born in Hawaii and that she has seen it, but state law won't allow her to release it unless the president authorizes it.
So what's the problem here? Release the original and let's be done with this madness.
I realize there are some faith-based Obama supporters who believe without seeing, but the rest of us in the reality-based world are starting to get that strange feeling we got when Mark Sanford tried to convince us that he was away from his family on Father's Day, hiking the Appalachian trail in order to clear his head and write a book.
During the last campaign, John McCain faced similar questions and promptly responded by releasing his original birth certificate. That's how normal people with nothing to hide handle these things.
Most American's aren't Birthers or anti-Birthers, but we are beginning to wonder why the president doesn't put this one to rest once and for all. Every day he allows this circus to continue is another day that he behaves less like the President of the United States facing weird accusations from fringe groups and more like a strange politician flying to Argentina to visit his soul-mate while pretending to be hiking the Appalachians.
NOTHING WEIRD ABOUT BIRTHERS MARK. WE JUST WANT TO KNOW THE FACTS. THE GUY IS HIDING SOMETHING...THAT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS. ALL AMERICANS HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW!

Pamela Geller: Obama's Race Baiting Must End
By: By Pamela Geller
Professor Henry Louis Gates' arrest by Cambridge, Mass., police Sgt. James Crowley became a big issue because the president made a statement inciting hatred on national television.
Obama admonished us, suggesting that this became a big story because it “shows that race is still a troubling issue.” Wrong. It ignited a “national debate” because Obama made it a national debate — and Americans are sick and tired of the African-American president calling us racists.
Barack Obama now is trying to backtrack on his racist demagoguery.
“In my choice of words,” he said Friday, “I unfortunately, I think, gave an impression that I was maligning the Cambridge Police Department or Crowley specifically.” But he did not apologize, and invited both Crowley and Gates to visit the White House.
Gates demanded an apology from Crowley. But Crowley says he won’t apologize. What should he apologize for? Doing his job? Obama is the one who should apologize. He should apologize both to Crowley and the American people. He should apologize for making this arrest a big issue when he said law enforcement “acted stupidly” and, like the boy who cried wolf, yelled racism.
Obama tried to incite racial division and wrongly criticized the police during a news conference. The lap-dog media, in what can kindly be described as a docile news conference on healthcare, lobbed Obama a racially charged question — giving him, yet again, an opportunity to whip the American people with the racism charge and demonize law enforcement as racist.
This validates the op-ed I penned on Obama's NAACP speech just days before his tongue lashing of law enforcement. The speech was scandalous. The NAACP audience listened to the African-American president of the United States rail against discrimination in the country that elected him. His antagonist in the speech was the big white bogeymen, stealing the very lives and futures of black children, Muslims, Latinos, and gays. Demagoguery.
Obama complained that "more than half a century after Brown v. Board, the dream of a world-class education is still being deferred all across the country. African-American students are lagging behind white classmates in reading and math, an achievement gap that is growing in states that once led the way in the civil rights movement."
Does Obama believe, and does he expect us to believe, that this "achievement gap" is because of white racism? If there is an "achievement gap," it is because the left seized public education and destroyed it. No one, of whatever color, wants to send his or her kids to a public school. Affluent Americans opt out, and industrious Americans home school.
But the Democrats deny school vouchers to the poor, which amounts to denying them an opportunity for a real education. The left wants to keep them down on the farm.
Once again, Obama grabbed the opportunity on national television, in yet another seizure of the airwaves, to divide and create discord. Mind you, that was Obama’s fourth prime-time press event in almost as many months — more than Bush had in his last three years (and the craven networks would not accommodate Bush’s last one, while we were at war). Bush had a total of four in his eight years in office.
The Gates question was the only question not related to healthcare. And there was a mix up when Obama called on Lynn Sweet (the reporter who asked about Gates' arrest) for the last question: It was another reporter’s turn. But rest assured that Obama made sure he went back to Sweet and gave her the last question. On racism.
Obama kicked off his remarks on the arrest by saying, “Skip Gates is a friend.” So what? Friends of Obama can’t break the law? Friends of Obama are above the law?
Then Obama admitted that he had not seen “all the facts,” but still charged that “the Cambridge police acted stupidly,” and played the race card: “What I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there is a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcing disproportionately. That’s just a fact.”
What does this racism propaganda have to do with the Gates meltdown? Was Gates really railroaded by a racist cop? In reality, Crowley trains other police officers on race issues. And the Boston Globe reported that Crowley once “desperately tried to save the life of Reggie Lewis after the Boston Celtics star collapsed while practicing in the school gym.”
The man has a record and a reputation that neither Gates nor Obama could hold a candle to.
Yet in a second news conference, Obama continued to preach to us, and obfuscated his remarks in the first one. He admonished us and told us the arrest was a teachable moment. Teachable for whom? If anyone ought to learn something, it ought to be him.
First, he should learn to stop pulling the race card at every turn. Second, he should not jump to conclusions and blame whitey. Third, he must stop his attempts to divide the American people based on a fallacious, racist narrative.
Obama said Crowley and Gates “both overreacted.” Wrong. Moral equivalency. Further, Obama’s remarks on the arrest angered cops and emboldened criminals. I am thrilled that the Cambridge police unions had a press conference to defend Crowley. They voiced their support for Crowley and said they “deeply resent” Obama’s reckless remarks. They want an apology and they more than deserve one. Considering how brilliantly Obama apologizes to despots, murderers and enemies, it should be a breeze. But it won’t happen. Obama has never apologized to a good guy.

This Just In......
Barack Obama fresh off his Nobel Prize worthy effort at The Beer Summit, was spotted being whisked off by the Secret Service, apparently on his way to Air Force 1. An unnamed White House source, leaked to the media, President Obama was suddenly called away to perform an intervention for his Chiacago friend going by the initials O.P.R.A.H. Apparently this individual was having issues with the All-You-Can-Eat Waiter at a local Chicago, Golden Corral. Obama was heard commenting, I don't know the facts, but clearly this waiter has an attitude.

Obama and Gates = No Apology! "We agreed to disagree." What did you expect America?
But two nuggets of information did leak out from the "beerfest":
1. Gates' beer of choice: Arrogant Bastard brewed in California by Stone Brewing AND
2. There actually was an apology...by Joe Biden!...I guess he just apologized about being Joe.

PURE, PLAIN, AND SIMPLE...ANOTHER OBAMA STUNT...
A NATIONAL EVENT...BEER AT THE WHITE HOUSE WITH TWO UNABASHED RACISTS...AN HONORABLE COP...AND A BUFFOON! ONLY IN AMERICA.
CROWLEY WOULD HAVE BEEN OSTRACIZED IF HE DIDN'T PLAY ALONG WITH OBAMA'S SELF-SERVING SPECTACLE. ALL OF AMERICA KNOWS WHO THE BAD GUYS ARE IN THIS AND THE FACT THAT OBAMA HAS NEVER PUBLICLY APOLOGIZED IS ANOTHER INSIGHT INTO HIS RACIST VIEWS AND LACK OF CHARACTER.
My Latest Facebook Exchange With Senator Cornyn
John Cornyn: I believe a lawsuit on this subject has been dismissed.
Stephen J Cyrier: Thank you for your reply Senator regarding my questioning of Obama's eligibility. While it is true a suit was dismissed (unfairly) that does not preclude the Senate Judiciary Committee from launching a Senate Hearing on the matter, or conducting a Senate Investigation into this matter, which millions of Americans, including our military are questioning.

Asleep At The Switch Award
We have started this blog with the intention of getting the WORD out to the American people and really all people around the world. Barack Obama as a Usurper President has his hands on the controls. Any laws, treaties, international trade agreements, policies he sets, could make these acts null and void, after the fact. Obama has no more legal right to sit in the Oval Office, afixing his signature to documents on behalf of the United States,than one of the Three Stooges-Moe, Curly, or Larry.
Israel is on the Obama Hot Seat as foreign issue priority #1. Wouldn't the Israeli's feel foolish if they ceded half of their land to the Palestinians due to Obama's backing, only to find out after the fact Obama was a fraud, a 4th stooge. Israel does not deserve to be duped by Obama, nor does any other country.
Therefore we, meaning ALL who read this blog, need to do our part in spreading the word. You may have noticed our NeoEarth visitor counter, while you are watching us, we are watching you. Sounds rather sinister doesn't it:). It isn't, believe me. I wanted to know where our readership was coming from. After about a week, we have been visited by you(thank you very much, keep it up)from 36 states of the union, and 9 foreign countries, make that 8 foreign countries
and our brother, Canada to the North. Shoutout Time-" A Canada, whatsup?"
Now to my point- of the 14 remaining states who have not represented, I plan on giving out the 1st Annual GUL "Asleep At The Switch " Award to the retard state that is last to log on. So if any of you know anybody in the following states you might want to send them an email to save some embarrassment .
The Offenders Are:
Arkansas
Delaware
Idaho
Indians
Louisiana
Maine
Mississippi
Montana
Nebraska
North Dakota
Rhode Island
South Dakota
Utah
Wyoming
Remember -The eyes of Texas are upon you. You can not get Awayyyyy.

Senator Cornyn and Facebook
Senator Cornyn is a facebook aficionado, so I left the following on his wall page.
Stephen J Cyrier Thank you,Senator Cornyn for taking my tele-townhall question Wednesday evening, it was a true honor. I did have another question, but I refrained from employing an ambush question on a live broadcast, out of my deep respect for you both as my Senator and as a man .
As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, you understand that Article II Sec I requires the Presidency be occupied by a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. Barack Obama Jr is ineligible by his own admission, that admission being-- his father was a British citizen ; and to our knowledge never a US citizen. Obama's admission is found in his book "Dreams From My Father."
The 3rd US Congress of 1795 recorded into the Congressional Record provides the statute which defines NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. If the chapter citation is needed please email me.
Sentor Cornyn we have a Usurper in the White House and it is your sworn duty to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, Please do your duty sir

Barack Obama – An Angry Black Man in the Wright House; America Pushes Back against Socialist Agenda Promotion of “Black-On-White Spanking Moments”

"The Cambridge Police acted STUPIDLY" -Barack Obama engaging in Presidential Race Baiting against American Police Nationwide for political gain.
Everyone Saw it… Everyone Heard it… Barack Obama Seized an Opportunity to Crap on every single Police Officer in the nation characterizing them as Racist.
“The Cambridge Police Department Acted Stupidly” will follow Obama to the end of days… He meant every word of it and he said it because The Socialist Agenda, his Agenda, uses RACE as a Weapon against Conservatives… in other words, against Whites in this country, and continues to brow beat American Citizens for Slavery to this day. Why? Because it is Socialist “Victimology 101.”
Well… The President got shoved back by the American Public, by both Black Americans and White Americans. The only ones to back the President’s anti-white racism are his anti-white racist Pals.
A Firestorm has ignited, and it is far from over.
Did the President apologize? No.
Instead Barack “walked back” what his post attack damage control agents characterized as “Obama’s Uncalibrated Comments.”
Calibrate – to plan or devise (something) carefully so as to have a precise use, application, appeal, etc.: a sales strategy calibrated to rich investors.
Obama ever so carefully calibrated the phrase “The Cambridge Police acted STUPIDLY” to effect his desired and intended strategy…. to malign police departments nationwide by promoting Black on White Racism to it’s fullest advantage of Socialist Gain.
Obama got the suprise of his life… when it totally backfired and instead has the opposite effect he so carefully “calibrated” with his “stupidly” attack.
Obama, you can’t “WALK BACK” your heart felt anti-white racism any more than your Pal and Mentor of 20 years, Rev. Wright, can walk back his.
It is an inseparable part of who you are. That is how it is with Racists.
Tort Reform Health Care and Senator Cornyn
This evening I participated in a live tele-townhall meeting with Senator Cornyn (R) TX. I was the first caller selected, to ask a question. The pre-screening process went something like this-
"Hello, this is senate aide so-and-so, what's your Health Care related question for Senator Cornyn? "
Me-" Uh, (I always say uh )Barack Obama, in addressing the AMA Doctor's Convention a couple weeks ago, stated he was NOT in favor of MEDICAL TORT REFORM, what is your position? And I have a follow up question."
Senator's Aide "Ok, What's your follow up question?'
Me- "Uhhh, It's about Health Care too," (actually the health care of our Constitution and the question related to Obama's UnNatural Borness)
Senator's Aide radar intently painting the scenery " Exactly what?? about Health Care???" " I think one question is all we will have time for (from you that is)".
At that point I was told to hold and MAYBE I would be selected. I'm thinking fat chance. As it turned out, it must have been between me and a hound dog, because I got on first.
I did the honorable thing, out of respect for Sen. Cornyn, (whom I do respect) and did not ambush him on a live broadcast plus I swear I could hear his aide's heavy breathing while I visualized his hand ready to hit the DISCONNECT BUTTON in an instant. I do plan to drop by his Houston office and bring up the other question though.
As far as Tort Reform (a driver of the high cost of Health Care) Senator Cornyn informed us, of the 5 plans currently under discussion in both Houses of Congress, none of them mention Tort Reform. Sen Cornyn to his credit did say he was was trying
to get Tort Reform in the Senate version.
I am ambivalent about my experience, talking with one of my Senators. Glad to be able to actually express a view on an issue, yet at the same time I felt repressed that the 1st amendment no longer was a right God granted to all of us. I did not feel free. I felt like if I had uttered the unspeakable question, I would be somehow out of line. I do not wish to humiliate a man I respect, but at the same time I expect him to do his duty. So Senator Cornyn and I need to talk some more.
We "Birthers" as we are being labeled by the "Obots" (as we call them back) are guilty of being passionately focused on the love of freedom. The document from which this love comes from is our Constitution. It is the Supreme Law of the Land. It is the original contract with America, and we damn well want it obeyed. So that is why we can be "shrill", and covered in tin foil head to toe as we shout "Where's the Birth Certificate Barack!" "Who's Your Daddy, Barack?" As we all know Barack Sr was never a US citizen and that disqualifies Obama Jr from being eligible to sit as President of the United States. It's in the Constitution.

AMERICA'S RULER, KING BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA GREETS HIS MORE SENIOR MUSLIM COUNTERPART WITH A BOW FIT FOR ........ A KING!
King Barack Hussein Obama, center, back to camera, greets his royal counterpart and fellow Muslim, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.
Don't think Obama is pro-Arab/Muslim anti-Israel? Think again:
· His first phone call was to Abbas, the terrorist leader of the Palestinian Authority and al Fatah;
· His first interview was on al-Arabiya News Channel, where he apologized for the United States;
· His first appointment of an envoy to Syria was the appointment of George Soros;
· He bankrolled Hamas out of Whitehouse funds to the tune of $23 million, following Israel’s invasion of Gaza to stop the missile strikes;
· He promised another 900 million to Gaza;
· He immediately adopted the Saudi Plan as policy for Israel, which favors a contiguous Palestinian state (that is, a geographic area that connects Gaza with the West Bank and includes Jerusalem – necessarily dividing Israel);
· He dismissed charges against the perpetrators of the bombing of the USS Cole;
· He announced the shut-down of Gitmo, and apologized to the Islamic world for its existence;
· He announced that his first summit would be an Islamic summit;
· He turned a blind eye to Iran’s launch of a satellite capable of triangulating coordinates for ICBMs that Iran is furiously trying to develop for the delivery of nuclear weapons;
· He turned a blind eye to the release of A. Q. Khan, Pakistan’s top nuclear scientist, who is believed to be the very person to have delivered nuclear bomb technology to North Korea;
· He intends to eliminate our anti-ballistic missile defense program;
· He intends to reduce our nuclear weapons arsenal by 75%;
· He intends to reduce our military budget by 25%;
· He has reneged on developing nuclear power;
· He continues to block off-shore or expanded drilling;
· He continues to try and block the production of coal (45% of our electric generating capability)
WAKE-UP AMERICA! THE'RE GOING TO SHOVE THIS DOWN OUR THROATS! THEY DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOU!

As expected, the "Blue Dog Democrats" have caved into Nancy Pelosi and are now ready to assume their usual position as the "Lap Dog Democrats." Please use the e-mail below (with links) to help stop the Obama/Pelosi/Reid takeover of our healthcare system.
Dear Friend:
House Democrats have cut a deal on health care reform with the Blue Dog Democrats.They meet this afternoon to mark up their bill and rush it through the House of Representatives.There is still time to act.
Call your Congressman, and tell him to oppose the Democrats' health care initiative.
Call now.

A Great American Story
Part of today's journey of seeking out our Liberty is a forward looking quest, but let us not forget to glance back from whence we came;
First before I get into this, I want to say thanks to Tennessee for Davy Crockett. Prior to leaving the great State of Tennessee, on his way out the door to Texas, Crockett was asked if he was going to rerun for Congress. Crockett replied "To Hell with Tennessee, I'm going to Texas." So thank you Tennessee for sharing one of your favorite sons, whereby he gave his life for his newly adopted land.
How many of you know the story of Alvin York? Sgt. Alvin York won the Congressional Medal of Honor, during WWI for his valorous action in France. Alvin York's story is one for the ages,for those who want to know the details,it is well documented, but the part of the story I want to draw your attention to is what the people of Tennessee did for Alvin York in honoring his bravery.
It seems Sgt York prior to going into the military, wanted a plot of land to work and a roof overhead for his family-to-be. The people of Tennessee in 1918, gave him several hundred acres of prime farmland, and a state-of-the-art house for his family. Tennesseeans never heard of the "Make-A-Wish Foundation" they just knew how to express their pride and gratitude to Sgt York. So I want to say thank you once again to the people of Tennessee, you all are trully a great and generous American story.

Health Care Reform
Both Houses of Congress meeting in various committees have 5 versions of Health Care Reform plans. I wonder what that hippagirafalope is going to look like when the finished product hits the floor. Care to guess how many of them will take the time to even read it, much less debate the plan which will encompass 1/6th of our national economy?
No doubt something must be done to address health care. The costs we are charged are way out of hand. Our poor who many times have no access to an automobile to drive to the doctor, think nothing of calling for an ambulance to deliver them to the emergency room for treatment of flu symptoms. Where I live ambulance fees run about $1200 per one way trip. I wish the indigent exercised a little fiscal sense and would just call a limo. The limo's services charge $50 per hour with a 4 hour minimum. That's $200 versus #1200, plus the limo would be available within the 4 hours for the trip home. If they really wanted to watch our tax dollars they could just call a taxi.
So we need to stop the abuse of the system by the poor.
We need tort reform, in order to stop so much defensive medicine and high premiums for malpractice our medical staff pay. That's right, it's not just Doctor's paying for malpractice insurance, our nurses do as well. President Zero addressed the AMA early on and point blank said he opposed any kind of tort reform. The Doctors present booed, but surely the Trial Attorneys put in their orders for their 2nd Yacht.
Have you ever priced a simple ace bandage. 99 cents at the Everything Under A Dollar Store. At the Hospital the same bandage runs $6.00 apiece. Pentagon Prices. Tests, X-Rays, Medical Supplies are way way way over priced. Let's get back to reality here.
No more Drug Patents. Drug companies lavishly pay themselves,fete at the best convention destinations, wine and dine every Tom, Dick and Harry, fully armed with the knowledge that such spending goes into the cost center called "research". It is little surprise the latest wonder drug is priced at $100 a pill. By denying Patent status, by way of Eminent Domain these companies would no longer have a 10 year period to legally rape the sick. Costs related to research should be audited, and unnecessary costs disallowed.
Have any of you heard similar ideas from President Zero? Seems to me its going to be business as usual by the Corporate Thieves who lobby Washington. The only thing which is in debate is how Americans are going to pay for this. Real reform means cost reduction, not denying treatment to the sick or injured.

Our poor who many times have no access to an automobile to drive to the doctor, think nothing of calling for an ambulance to deliver them to the emergency room for treatment of flu symptoms. Where I live ambulance fees run about $1200 per one way trip. I wish the indigent exercised a little fiscal sense and would just call a limo. The limo's services charge $50 per hour with a 4 hour minimum. That's $200 versus #1200, plus the limo would be available within the 4 hours for the trip home. If they really wanted to watch our tax dollars they could just call a taxi.
So we need to stop the abuse of the system by the poor.
We need tort reform, in order to stop so much defensive medicine and high premiums for malpractice our medical staff pay. That's right, it's not just Doctor's paying for malpractice insurance, our nurses do as well. President Zero addressed the AMA early on and point blank said he opposed any kind of tort reform. The Doctors present booed, but surely the Trial Attorneys put in their orders for their 2nd Yacht.
Have you ever priced a simple ace bandage. 99 cents at the Everything Under A Dollar Store. At the Hospital the same bandage runs $6.00 apiece. Pentagon Prices. Tests, X-Rays, Medical Supplies are way way way over priced. Let's get back to reality here.
No more Drug Patents. Drug companies lavishly pay themselves,fete at the best convention destinations, wine and dine every Tom, Dick and Harry, fully armed with the knowledge that such spending goes into the cost center called "research". It is little surprise the latest wonder drug is priced at $100 a pill. By denying Patent status, by way of Eminent Domain these companies would no longer have a 10 year period to legally rape the sick. Costs related to research should be audited, and unnecessary costs disallowed.
Have any of you heard similar ideas from President Zero? Seems to me its going to be business as usual by the Corporate Thieves who lobby Washington. The only thing which is in debate is how Americans are going to pay for this. Real reform means cost reduction, not denying treatment to the sick or injured.

Give Us Liberty- Common Sense Solution for Social Security
Given current rhetoric Social Security is going broke and within a few years the government trust fund will be spent. What can we do right now to reverse this trend?
Point I.
Everybody pays the same
Eliminate the ceiling on taxable wages. As of 2008 wages earned over $102,000 are exempted from further Social Security taxation. Think about this
If a person earns $30,000 and 7.65% Social Security tax rate is deducted that amount is $2295.
If a person earns $250,000 and 7.65% is deducted that amount is $7803
( 250,000-148000)= 102000)x7.65=7803 $148000 not taxed.
The person making $30,000 pays 7.65% of what they make into Social Security 2295/30000
The person making $250,000 ends up paying 3.12% of what they make into Social Security 7803/250000=.0312
Our Social Security taxation system has it backwards. Under our income tax methods the lower income earners pay a lesser tax rate than high income earners.
Point II.
Get the Deadbeats Off the Dole
A few years back we thought we under went WELFARE REFORM. Habitual non workers were sponging off the welfare system, having babies,with no intention of self supporting their families. So our government closed down the free ride. I say closed down, actually the free ride was reduced to 2 years on welfare. Where did these people go? Over to Social Security and onto the disability roles. Even their children are "disabled" -learning disabled-- and eligible to collect a check until age 18 or age 22 if a college student. Now I ask you, just how hard is it to get a child to play dumb? Especially when the Government Man is about to write you a check.
We have documented cases of mothers with 5 children all with "learning disabilities" all drawing SS disability checks(avg. check of $1200 per child). This is nothing but a sham device to keep the government money coming in, it beats working, and who cares if they call it welfare or Social Security- it's green and free.
Point III.
Pay Out based upon need.
Currently rich and poor can draw Social Security when they reach the appointed age. People who are wealthy should be barred from being a recipient. Why? Because the purpose of Social Security is to provide for the aged who NEED financial help during their twilight years. Does it make sense to send John D Rockerfeller a social security check once a month because he paid in his portion 7.65% of $102,000 each year? I think John D. could get by without the $1800 a month he is entitled to currently. Why not fore go it for the person not as fortunate.If heaven forbid John D. experiences a reversal of fortune and is unable to eat caviar 3 times a day, or get the polo ponies groomed properly, then make the $1800 available to him.
There-three simple ideas that would go a long way to fixing the Social Security fund. It's more equitable to the citizenry in general, and it cleans up some abuse of the system. If you notice I haven't spent any Stimulus dollars to get there either. These problems are not hard to fix. What we need is a responsive government.

When the going gets tough...just bash Bush...Pathetic!
Facing the first real rough patch of his presidency, President Obama and his supporters are once again resorting to a tried-and-true tactic: attacking George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.
In his White House press conference last week, Mr. Obama referred to the Bush era at least nine times, three times lamenting that he "inherited" a $1.3 trillion debt that has set back his administration's efforts to fix the economy.
With the former president lying low in Dallas, largely focused on crafting his memoirs, Mr. Obama has increasingly attempted to exploit Mr. Bush when discussing the weak economy, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the difficulty closing the military prison at U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
As he took power, Mr. Obama promised a "new era of responsibility" that would transcend partisan politics.

NEW DOUBTS ABOUT "OBAMA'S" PAST...from Jerome Corsi of World Net Daily

New doubts revealed in Obama's nativity story
School documents show mother left father within weeks of birth

More cracks have appeared in the official story of Barack Obama's family life, with the revelation in school documentation from the University of Washington that Ann Dunham most likely left her husband, Barack Sr., within weeks of the baby's birth.
The official story as presented in his autobiography, "Dreams from My Father," and in various accounts in newspapers and websites supporting Obama conflicts with the results of a careful analysis of the documentary evidence available.
For example, the official story claims that Dunham relocated to Seattle late in 1962, but documentary evidence establishes that Ann Dunham left Hawaii when she moved to Seattle in August or September 1961, only a few weeks after the birth of Barack Obama Jr.
Likewise, the official story describes how Dunham and Obama Sr. lived as man-and-wife in Hawaii until he left for Harvard to begin the fall term in September 1962. But the documents establish Dunham abandoned Obama Sr. when she left to begin school at the University of Washington in Seattle for the fall term of 1961 which began in September of that year.
The repositioning of the timeline revealed by the school documents may mask a yet undisclosed secret that lies at the heart of the Obama birth certificate controversy.
Join in WND's Fedex campaign and tell Obama you don't buy his state-run media coverup!
The Obama long-form original birth certificate continues to be hidden from the public by Obama despite a multitude of requests to make the document public.
But here are a number of critical dates documenting the birth of Barack Obama Jr. from available public records.
* Ann Dunham was born Nov. 29, 1942, according to her original Social Security Card. This would have made her 18 years old at the time Barack Obama Jr. was born.
* Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4, 1961; this would put his date of conception at the earliest on or around Nov. 4, 1960, assuming there was a full nine months of pregnancy.
* Records provided to WND by Stuart Lau, university registrar in the Office of Admissions and Records at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, document that Ann Dunham's first day of instruction at the university was on Sept. 26, 1960, less than six weeks before the earliest date Barack Obama, Jr. could have been conceived.
* Ann Dunham and Barack H. Obama, Sr.'s divorce decree states they were married on Feb. 2, 1961, in Wailuku, Maui, in Hawaii. This would mean Obama's parents were married approximately three months after Barack Obama, Jr. was conceived, if the baby went full-term.
* Instead of staying in Hawaii with her husband and new baby, Ann Dunham began classes at the University of Washington in Seattle in September 1961 for the autumn semester, less than two months after Obama was born. WND confirmed this date with Madolyne Lawson of the Office of Public Records at the University of Washington.
* Ann Dunham took up residence in Seattle at 516 13th Ave. E., according to the 1961 Seattle Polk directory. This residence was torn down in 1985 and is now replaced by twin Capital Park residential towers; the Seattle Polk Directory listing is for an "Mrs. Anna Obama," a variant of her name that most researchers have considered to be Ann Dunham.
Ann Dunham's residence in Seattle, 1961 (Washington State Archives, Puget Sound Branch, King County Assessor Property Record Card collection)
* At most, Barack Obama Sr. and Ann Dunham lived together for approximately eight months, from Feb. 2, 1961, the date of their marriage, until September 1961 when Ann Dunham began her studies at the University of Washington in Seattle. But there is nothing on the public record to suggest that Ann Dunham and Barack Obama Sr. ever lived together again as man and wife.
* There is nothing on the public record to suggest that Ann Dunham's mother, Madeline Dunham, accompanied her daughter to Seattle in September 1961, even though she was 18 years old and responsible for a baby who was less than two months old.
* There is no evidence on the public record that Obama Sr. ever joined his wife in Seattle. Instead, the public evidence is that Obama Sr. remained in Hawaii, while his wife and infant son established their residence in Seattle.
* Obama Sr. began studies at Harvard University in September 1962, which means Dunham did not return to live in Hawaii until after Obama Sr. had left the islands, never to return to Hawaii again as a resident.
* The same records show Dunham did not resume her studies at the University of Hawaii until April 1963 for the spring semester, when Barack Obama was approximately one year and five months old.
* Dunham and Obama Sr. were divorced on Jan. 20, 1964.
The dates appear reliable, especially given the limited documentary evidence available about Barack Obama’s birth circumstances.
Timeline of President Obama's birth
The dates permit the construction
of this timeline:
And the results raise several questions:
1. Were Dunham and Obama Sr. ever very much in love, even at the beginning of their relationship, or was the marriage always one of convenience arranged to mask an inconvenient pregnancy?
2. Did Dunham and Obama Sr. ever live together as man and wife, and if so, what testimony is there from neighbors at the time that would establish their residence address?
3. Was Obama Jr. born in Hawaii, or was he born in Kenya? Could he have been born in Seattle, or possibly even in British Columbia?
4. What hospital was Obama Jr., born in, and who was the attending physician? What official records establish these facts?
5. Who are Obama Jr.'s true birthright parents?
6. Why has President Obama prevented the release to the American public of his long-form original birth certificate listing the hospital of his birth, the attending physician and the identity of his parents, as recorded at the time of his birth? What information is on the original, long-form birth certificate that President Obama does not want the American people to see?
Many of these questions should be able to be answered if the American public could authenticate Barack Obama's original, long-form birth certificate listing the hospital where he was born, the date and time of the birth, the attending physician and the names of the parents.
Want to turn up the pressure to learn the facts? Get your signs and postcards asking for the president's birth certificate documentation here.
This leads to what is perhaps the key question: What is it the White House is determined to hide by refusing to release the president's original long-form birth certificate?
Moreover, while President Obama and his supporters have made many photographs available from his childhood, important gaps remain:
* No photographs have yet surfaced for the public showing Ann Dunham pregnant in 1961.
* No photographs have yet surfaced with the parents, Barack Obama Sr. and Ann Dunham, with Barack Obama Jr. as an infant in the hospital where he was born.
* No photographs have yet surfaced of the parents, Ann Dunham and Barack Obama Sr. with Barack Obama Jr. after the newly born infant was taken home from the hospital where he was born to live with his parents.
When and why did Barack Obama Sr. and Ann Dunham separate?
In his autobiography, "Dreams from My Father," Barack Obama Jr. tells the story that his mother and father first separated when Barack Obama Sr. left Hawaii to attend school in Cambridge, Mass., at Harvard.
On page 10, Obama presents this version of the story, writing: "He [Barack Obama Sr.] won another scholarship – this time to pursue his Ph.D. at Harvard – but not the money to take his new family with him. A separation occurred, and he returned to Africa to fulfill his promise to the continent. The mother and child stayed behind, but the bond of love survived the distances …" (ellipsis in original)
The Seattle Times, reporting on the Obama family history in April 2008 when Obama was emerging as a Democratic Party contender for the presidential nomination, disclosed that the family separated when Ann Dunham left Hawaii to enter the University of Washington in Seattle, but incorrectly pushed Ann Dunham's relocation to Seattle to 1962.
In the published article, Seattle Times staff reporter Jonathan Martin wrote: "By 1962, Dunham had returned to Seattle as a single mother, enrolling in the UW for spring quarter and living in an apartment on Capital Hill."
This version conveniently allows a few more months for the young mother to care for her infant son while living yet with her husband in Hawaii.
On Oct. 21, 2008, the Seattle Weekly published yet a different version of the story: "But she [Ann Dunham] returned to live in Seattle around 1962, after Barack was born in August 1961, leaving her husband, Kenya-born Barack Sr., and his newborn namesake in Hawaii."
The assumption in the Seattle Weekly story is that Ann Dunham left the baby with her parents, Stanley Armour Dunham and Madelyn Dunham, the Obama grandparents who ultimately raised the future president.
Nicole Brodeur, a Seattle Times staff columnist, interviewed Ann Dunham’s high school "best friend" Maxine Box in Feb. 2008.
According to this version, Box last saw Ann Dunham in 1961, "when she [Ann Dunham] visited Seattle on her way from Honolulu to Massachusetts, where her then-husband was attending Harvard."
Box also told the Seattle Times that Ann Dunham showed no interest in baby-sitting when they were in college, suggesting she was surprised when Ann Dunham ended up pregnant only a year after graduating from Mercer Island High School.
"She [Ann Dunham] felt she didn't need to date or marry or have children," Box recalled for the Seattle Times interview published in March 2007.
Then, commenting on the birth of Barack Obama Jr., Box commented, "I just couldn't imagine her [Ann Dunham's] life changing so quickly," the Seattle Times story reported.
Unfortunately for Box, Barack Obama Sr. still was in Hawaii; he did not leave for Harvard until the following year.
In an unusual video now removed from the Internet, Ann Dunham's high school friend Susan Blake also claimed Ann Dunham visited Seattle in August 1961 with her infant son, with Blake telling the story that she changed the baby's diapers; the video is still noted and transcribed as footnote No. 21 in Ann Dunham's Wikipedia entry.
What Ann Dunham was doing in Seattle immediately after her baby was born is unclear, unless she was in Seattle immediately after the birth to find an apartment so she could start school in September 1961 at the University of Washington.
Others have speculated that perhaps Barack Obama Jr. was born in Seattle, or possibly in Canada, allowing Dunham to be in Seattle immediately after the future president's birth without having to fly from Hawaii to the mainland sometime between Aug. 4, 1961, when the baby was born, and September 1961 when the fall term began at the University of Washington.
Barack Obama Jr.'s babysitter in Seattle
Mary Toutonghi, according to an interview published in the Seattle Chat Club blog, claimed to have baby-sat for the future president at the Capitol Hill apartment in January and February 1962; thus, the Toutongi interview provides no information about Ann Dunham arriving in Seattle to begin classes at the University of Washington in September 1961.
When asked why Dunham left her husband in Hawaii to come to Seattle with her infant son, Toutongi explained Dunham told her that she [Dunham] and the baby would be going to Kenya when she finished her education, as she had promised her parents when she was married.
Toutongi also added Dunham's explanation that her husband had an obligation to her tribe to take another wife that was a full-blooded Kenyan; according to the published interview, Toutongi further commented, "I don't think I could have been that brave."
In an interview with WND, Toutongi said she baby-sat for infant Obama "for two or there months, when he was seven months old," adding "it was in the spring."
Given Obama’s birth on Aug. 4, 1961, this would put the dates Toutongi baby-sat infant Obama in February and March 1962.
"My daughter was 18 months old and she just had her 50th birthday this year," Toutongi recalled. "So, that would make the time around February and March 1962."
"Ann Dunham and the baby moved in while we were there," she remembered. "We managed the house and they had the rooms on the first floor to the right, immediately above the garage. Each of the rooms on that floor comprised a one-bedroom apartment. I can't remember when she moved in, but the baby was seven months old."
"It was kind of weird, but she never told me why she abandoned her husband," she commented. "I don't know if the courses she wanted were here. I couldn't figure out why she was here in Seattle while her husband was in Hawaii."
Did Barack Obama Sr. and Ann Dunham ever live as man and wife?
WND has previously reported that the birth notices for Barack Obama Jr. that were published in the Honolulu Advertiser and the Star-Bulletin in 1961 do not provide solid proof of a birth in Hawaii because of uncertainties over the policies and procedures that were used by the newspapers at that time to publish such notices.
WND hired a private investigator in Hawaii to seek out neighbors who lived in 1961 adjacent to 6085 Kalanianaole Highway, the address listed in the newspaper published birth notices.
According to an affidavit filed with WND by the private investigator, Beatrice Arakaki was a neighbor who has lived at her current residence of 6075 Kalanianaole Highway from before 1961 to the present.
Arakaki did not recall the Obama family living in the neighborhood and she was unaware of any young couple living at 6085 Kalanianaole Highway that met the Obama family description.
If Barack Obama, Sr. and Ann Dunham lived at this address when Barack Obama Jr. was born, the original long-form birth certificate should confirm this address as the residence of the baby at birth.
The Hawaii short-form Certificate of Live Birth lists no residence address information.
Obama's birth certificate is not the only document at issue. WND has reported that among the documentation not yet available for Obama includes his kindergarten records, his Punahou school records, his Occidental College records, his Columbia University records, his Columbia thesis, his Harvard Law School records, his Harvard Law Review articles, his scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, his passport, his medical records, his files from his years as an Illinois state senator, his Illinois State Bar Association records, any baptism records, and his adoption records.

According to this version, Box last saw Ann Dunham in 1961, "when she [Ann Dunham] visited Seattle on her way from Honolulu to Massachusetts, where her then-husband was attending Harvard."
Box also told the Seattle Times that Ann Dunham showed no interest in baby-sitting when they were in college, suggesting she was surprised when Ann Dunham ended up pregnant only a year after graduating from Mercer Island High School.
"She [Ann Dunham] felt she didn't need to date or marry or have children," Box recalled for the Seattle Times interview published in March 2007.
Then, commenting on the birth of Barack Obama Jr., Box commented, "I just couldn't imagine her [Ann Dunham's] life changing so quickly," the Seattle Times story reported.
Unfortunately for Box, Barack Obama Sr. still was in Hawaii; he did not leave for Harvard until the following year.
In an unusual video now removed from the Internet, Ann Dunham's high school friend Susan Blake also claimed Ann Dunham visited Seattle in August 1961 with her infant son, with Blake telling the story that she changed the baby's diapers; the video is still noted and transcribed as footnote No. 21 in Ann Dunham's Wikipedia entry.
What Ann Dunham was doing in Seattle immediately after her baby was born is unclear, unless she was in Seattle immediately after the birth to find an apartment so she could start school in September 1961 at the University of Washington.
Others have speculated that perhaps Barack Obama Jr. was born in Seattle, or possibly in Canada, allowing Dunham to be in Seattle immediately after the future president's birth without having to fly from Hawaii to the mainland sometime between Aug. 4, 1961, when the baby was born, and September 1961 when the fall term began at the University of Washington.
Barack Obama Jr.'s babysitter in Seattle
Mary Toutonghi, according to an interview published in the Seattle Chat Club blog, claimed to have baby-sat for the future president at the Capitol Hill apartment in January and February 1962; thus, the Toutongi interview provides no information about Ann Dunham arriving in Seattle to begin classes at the University of Washington in September 1961.
When asked why Dunham left her husband in Hawaii to come to Seattle with her infant son, Toutongi explained Dunham told her that she [Dunham] and the baby would be going to Kenya when she finished her education, as she had promised her parents when she was married.
Toutongi also added Dunham's explanation that her husband had an obligation to her tribe to take another wife that was a full-blooded Kenyan; according to the published interview, Toutongi further commented, "I don't think I could have been that brave."
In an interview with WND, Toutongi said she baby-sat for infant Obama "for two or there months, when he was seven months old," adding "it was in the spring."
Given Obama’s birth on Aug. 4, 1961, this would put the dates Toutongi baby-sat infant Obama in February and March 1962.
"My daughter was 18 months old and she just had her 50th birthday this year," Toutongi recalled. "So, that would make the time around February and March 1962."
"Ann Dunham and the baby moved in while we were there," she remembered. "We managed the house and they had the rooms on the first floor to the right, immediately above the garage. Each of the rooms on that floor comprised a one-bedroom apartment. I can't remember when she moved in, but the baby was seven months old."
"It was kind of weird, but she never told me why she abandoned her husband," she commented. "I don't know if the courses she wanted were here. I couldn't figure out why she was here in Seattle while her husband was in Hawaii."
Did Barack Obama Sr. and Ann Dunham ever live as man and wife?
WND has previously reported that the birth notices for Barack Obama Jr. that were published in the Honolulu Advertiser and the Star-Bulletin in 1961 do not provide solid proof of a birth in Hawaii because of uncertainties over the policies and procedures that were used by the newspapers at that time to publish such notices.
WND hired a private investigator in Hawaii to seek out neighbors who lived in 1961 adjacent to 6085 Kalanianaole Highway, the address listed in the newspaper published birth notices.
According to an affidavit filed with WND by the private investigator, Beatrice Arakaki was a neighbor who has lived at her current residence of 6075 Kalanianaole Highway from before 1961 to the present.
Arakaki did not recall the Obama family living in the neighborhood and she was unaware of any young couple living at 6085 Kalanianaole Highway that met the Obama family description.
If Barack Obama, Sr. and Ann Dunham lived at this address when Barack Obama Jr. was born, the original long-form birth certificate should confirm this address as the residence of the baby at birth.
The Hawaii short-form Certificate of Live Birth lists no residence address information.
Obama's birth certificate is not the only document at issue. WND has reported that among the documentation not yet available for Obama includes his kindergarten records, his Punahou school records, his Occidental College records, his Columbia University records, his Columbia thesis, his Harvard Law School records, his Harvard Law Review articles, his scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, his passport, his medical records, his files from his years as an Illinois state senator, his Illinois State Bar Association records, any baptism records, and his adoption records.

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.
