GOVEROTRAGEOUS: What is Obama hiding and why hasn’t the “press” found it?

Why I care about Obama eligibility issue

*** begin quote ***

First: Barack Obama is hiding something. About that statement, there can be no dispute. Despite dozens of lawsuits, with plaintiffs including a former presidential candidate, a former deputy attorney general, many legislators, active-duty U.S. military and other serious people, Obama simply refuses to release his original, long-form birth certificate. That’s the one that could actually prove he was born in Hawaii. What is posted on Obama’s “Fight the Smears” website as well as FactCheck.org is the abbreviated short-form “certification of live birth” that could have been issued for a child born overseas, and thus does not prove he was born in Hawaii. What is so difficult about this to understand?

As I said, he’s hiding something. I want to know what it is. And I want the world to know what it is.

Where’s the proof Barack Obama was born in the U.S. or that he fulfills the “natural-born citizen” clause in the Constitution? If you still want to see it, join more than 355,000 others and sign up now!

Ask yourself: Why would Obama have a team of high-priced lawyers fighting to stop his Occidental College records from being released? If I were elected president, don’t you think my college records would be made public? Similarly, he has lawyers fighting all the eligibility lawsuits, many of which are simply demanding proof – which Obama could easily provide – of the specifics of his birth time and place, something the U.S. Constitution unequivocally and unapologetically demands of presidential candidates.

The lawsuits started well before Obama won the election. You’d think that after he won the November popular vote, after the Electoral College confirmed him in December, after he was inaugurated in January, the lawsuits would fade away. After all, he won – get over it. But the legal challenges attempting to compel Obama to prove his natural born citizenship are increasing, not decreasing, with each passing month. Perhaps the realization that he’s damaging the country in unimaginable ways is imparting urgency to those who hope he can be removed from office if it’s proven he obtained it by fraud.

All I know is, Obama is hiding something. After all, he has it totally within his power to make all these lawsuits and “birthers” look foolish with a simple, 30-second phone call to the Hawaii Department of Health, saying, “I authorize you to release to the public and press a certified copy of my complete, long-form birth certificate.”

OK, I’ll adjust my tin foil hat and say it: “I’m a birther”.

There is no possible explanation for Obama’s reluctance; other than he has something to hide.

It must bear on his ability to satisfy Constitutional muster as President.

Anything less, just doesn’t make sense.

Not nice to say, but he has pulled the wool over our eyes.

Will we have to wait for History’s verdict?

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: FAA conceals bird strike data

Hudson ditching survivor `shocked’ by FAA secrecy
By MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN

*** begin quote ***

A survivor of the jetliner that ditched in the Hudson River after hitting birds and most other public commenters opposed a government proposal to make secret its data on when and where such bird strikes occur.

Public comments about the Federal Aviation Administration’s secrecy proposal ran 5-to-1 against it as the comment period closed Monday. One major group, which some had expected to support the rule, declined to take a position.

The primary trade group for U.S. airports, the Airports Council International-North America, told the FAA that its member airports were split on the issue so it “cannot take a position either supporting or opposing” the secrecy. But it urged the agency “to provide explanatory information to assist the public and media to use the data responsibly” if it decides against imposing secrecy.

Regulators and the regulated. Perfect together!

Obama’s Hypocrisy on School Vouchers
The “most ethical” administration turns its back on principle to pay off the teachers’ unions
Shikha Dalmia | April 20, 2009

*** begin quote ***

Four: The most blatant hypocrisy involves Obama’s personal parental decisions. He chose to send his own daughters to Sidwell Friends, a private school among D.C.’s most exclusive institutions whose annual tuition runs around $30,000. If he felt so strongly that offering children an exit route would stymie the reform of public schools, then why not put his own daughters in one? Jimmy Carter did. This would not only please unions—prompting them to open up their war chest even more in the next elections—but also signal his resolve about reform. If he didn’t, that’s presumably because his daughters’ futures are too precious to be sacrificed on the altar of politics. But, evidently, the futures of other children are not.

Incidentally, among the children who will have to return to public school once this program is scrapped are two of his daughter’s schoolmates, who were using their vouchers to attend Sidwell. It’s sad that Obama’s message of hope and change doesn’t include children like them.

*** end quote ***

Please, why would the poor minorities expect anything form a politician.

The Sidwell decision was a foregone conclusion.

No, one only has to go back to Prussia in pre-WW1 Germany to figure out why “skrools” produce the results they do. The system was designed to create factory workers and cannon fodder. The elites don’t send their children to these schools; they are destined to be the “future leaders”.

Now, we have to ask these “elite”: “Why do we need factory workers and cannon fodder?”.

Guess that’s what the drug war and abortions are for.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Obama seeks to restrict rights?

Obama legal team wants to limit defendants’ rights
By MARK SHERMAN – 1 day ago

*** begin quote ***

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is asking the Supreme Court to overrule a 23 year-old decision that stopped police from initiating questions unless a defendant’s lawyer is present, the latest stance that has disappointed civil rights and civil liberties groups.

While President Barack Obama has reversed many policies of his Republican predecessor, George W. Bush, the defendants’ rights case is another stark example of the White House seeking to limit rather than expand rights.

Are the D’s supposed to be FOR the people and their rights?

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Obama’s a fascist, or a socialist!

Obama’s leap to socialism
By Dick Morris
Posted: 04/21/09 05:21 PM [ET]

*** begin quote ***

President Obama showed his hand this week when The New York Times wrote that he is considering converting the stock the government owns in our country’s banks from preferred stock, which it now holds, to common stock.

This seemingly insignificant change is momentous. It means that the federal government will control all of the major banks and financial institutions in the nation. It means socialism.

*** end quote ***

It’s fascism.

Regardless of what you call it, it’s bad news!

Nixon’s Drug War!

Fill up the prisons, hurt sick people, and empower the “drug cartels”.

Stop it!

Drug addiction is a medical problem; not a legal problem.

Too many bureaucrats and politicians are making aliving off the stupidity fo the American voter.

Prohibition. Didn’t work for alcohol; doesn’t work for other drugs either.

It’s no one’s business what people put in their own bodies. And, we shouldn’t try. Or, pay for the results.

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: CO2 is dangerous?

Friday, April 17, 2009

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123997738881429275.html

*** begin quote ***

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a finding that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases pose a danger to the public, setting the stage for a battle over regulations that could have far-reaching impact on the U.S. economy.

Unless superceded by Congressional action, the EPA finding potentially could lead to a wave of regulations across the economy, putting stricter emissions limits on a wide range of enterprises from power plants and oil refineries to automobiles and cement makers.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Lifestyles of the autocratic and famous
Thomas Lifson

*** begin quote ***

What ever happened to leading by example? In the midst of a “financial crisis” Barack and Michelle Obama seem to be animated by a spirit of livin’ large.

The American press wasn’t interested, so it fell to the UK Daily Mail to reveal that Barack Obama had a chef flown in from St. Louis (complete with cheese, dough, and pans) to make pizzas for himself and 20 White House staffers.

*** end quote ***

“Liberals”, as we use the term today, are shameless.
