Just What We Need

by murphy on November 8, 2008

in Barack Obama, Unready!, hard times

Auto industry posts “staggering losses.” Joblessness soars. Colleges cutting back budgets by billions. Even Berkshire Hathaway is pinched — income  fell a whopping 77% in October for Warren Buffet’s legendary cash machine.

And who did we elect? A rookie with no record and no promise. But he’s getting a PUPPY!! Yay!

I guess we still are the country that elected George W. Bush. Twice.

#1 CJ All the upper echelon is aware of the lawsuits against BO and the questions surrounding his birth. I haven’t seen anyone do a thing so far. I contacted Devvy Kidd yesterday and told her I had already done everything she did, except not for IL. I also wrote the DOJ. I remember doing that on 9/2 and spent $30 for priority mail. Also faxed. No one wants to touch this thing and I don’t think Andy Martin will get very far. Also, as far as the electors are concerned, they are all cowardly. McCain is not going to ask his electors to challenge this although he has a right to do it. He’s afraid of disrupting everything, something about anarchy.

My re-post from downstairs:

My daughter who has a little ESP told me last spring that Obama would have to step down and Hillary would be our next President.

All summer and fall I waited for the other shoe to drop for Obama. Nothing. I kept asking her, “Are you sure about that feeling you have?” She indignently answered “Yes!”

Well, I asked her Wednesday morning again and she said “Obama hasn’t taken the oath of office yet?”

So, I am waiting with baited breath till Inauguration Day and praying she is right.

Oh, I also asked her “What about Biden?” She still says Hillary will be our next President.

She’s been right many times before and this time she seems really sure about this.

TEHRAN (AFP) – Iran’s parliament speaker Ali Larijani slammed US president-elect Barack Obama on Saturday for saying Tehran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons was “unacceptable,” the official IRNA news agency reported.

“This signifies a pursuit of the same erroneous policy as in the past,” Larijani said when asked about Obama’s comment on Friday.

There are some people who have standing who want to challenge this. one was a candidate. some people in the electoral collage want to challenge him. What is needed is a super good lawyer like the one who posted an opinion on the tenth ammendment. Money talks. poor people walk.

“I guess we still are the country that elected George W. Bush. Twice.”

You know that is so true. I do not think as a nation we are very good at looking at the writting on the wall. I was talking to my bo supporting office coworkers about taxes (again). They just didn’t get it that taxes would go up because we’ll loose the Bush tax cuts. Then in an effort to prove me wrong one of them googled the tax brackets now Vs when Bush first took office. Surprise surprise everything I had been saying was spelled out on the INTERNET avaialable for all to see! Then the bo supporters were like “well we don’t want that!!” “We’re angry now,” they said…..WTF…why couldn’t you have gotten angry on Nov 3rd?

I’m so running for office just to get away from my current job….

There is a psychic from one of the eastern states who was on the radio station I listen to about a month ago. She works with the police to help find missing persons in the US and Canada. She also said that Bo will be required to step down. Sorry, I don’t know her name, I was listening to her interview on my way to work one morning.

CJ on your question. Reposted from downstairs…

New ad apparently in USA Today… uh, today.

http://www.wethepeoplefoundation.org/UPDATE/misc2008/Obama-USA-TODAY-ad.htm

Funny though, if he would’ve just produced a Vault Original back in Jan or when this first came up, no one would have questioned the Indonesia thing. Now they are wanting much more than just the BC.

Oh, and for those that don’t know, I just found out that BO’s sister who was born in Indonesia ALSO has a Certificate of Live Birth (which is what BO supposedly put out earlier this year) from Hawaii. That means they registered her in Hawaii even though she wasn’t born there.

Again, I had to produce an official birth certificate for my son to enter KINDERGARTEN this past year. I went down to the courthouse, paid my $24, and five minutes later, there it was. They can say they’ve produced it all they want, but I guarantee you, if I was President-Elect and the SCOTUS was asking to see mine, I would be over there by NOON with it in my hot little hand.

Why hasn’t he? And he’s never said to any court that he HAS it, just that the person filing the petition has “no standing” to bring the suit (that was the BO Campaign’s “answer” to the Philadelphia lawsuit, which the judge used to throw the case out). It’s interesting to me that Justice Sooter (sp?) said essentially, “We’re not going to press this, just show us the Original, and we’re done.”

What happens when that original doesn’t show up? Oh, and what the heck was that whole thing about the birth records being “sealed” that was covered in every “news” media out there upon BO’s return from Hawaii that one of our intrepid PUMA’s uncovered to be a bald-faced lie? Why would someone come out to say it’s sealed if it isn’t? Was someone getting too close?

Of course someone came out and said there is a BC in the Hawaii records as if that’s proof. Hello. $24 and five minutes and at least that question would be cleared up. Does it seem to anyone else that he might be stalling?

And really, I’m curious, what DOES happen at the SCOTUS on Dec. 2 when he hasn’t brought in an original? What do they say? “Oh, well”? No, seriously. Make no mistake, people are watching this thing, and if you are a justice and you required someone to bring in something, and they flat-out refused, aren’t you putting the court’s integrity at issue if you just say, “Well, that’s all right. We’ll let you by this time”?

I do not believe this thing is going away.

HERE IS THE LAWYER WE NEED. THIS GUY IS SUPER GOOD AT EXPRESSING HIMSELF. SAVE THIS FOR LATER REFERENCE. THIS IS IMPORTANT.,,,,,,

Obama Must Stand Up Now or Sit Down
By Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr.
NewsWithViews.com

America is facing potentially the gravest constitutional crisis in her history. Barack Obama must either stand up in a public forum and prove, with conclusive documentary evidence, that he is “a natural born Citizen” of the United States who has not renounced his American citizenship—or he must step down as the Democratic Party’s candidate for President of the United States—preferably before the election is held, and in any event before the Electoral College meets. Because, pursuant to the Constitution, only “a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States at the time of the Adoption of th[e] Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President” (Article II, Section 1, Clause 4). And Obama clearly was not “a Citizen of the United States at the time of the Adoption of th[e] Constitution.”
Whether the evidence will show that Obama is, or is not, “a natural born Citizen” who has never renounced his American citizenship is an open question. The arguments on both sides are as yet speculative. But Obama’s stubborn refusal to provide what he claims is “his own” country with conclusive proof on that score compels the presumption that he knows, or at least strongly suspects, that no sufficient evidence in his favor exists. After all, he is not being pressed to solve a problem in quantum physics that is “above his pay grade,” but only asked to provide the public with the original copy of some official record that establishes his citizenship. The vast majority of Americans could easily do so. Why will Obama not dispel the doubts about his eligibility—unless he can not?

Now that Obama’s citizenship has been seriously questioned, the burden of proof rests squarely on his shoulders. The “burden of establishing a delegation of power to the United States * * * is upon those making the claim.” Bute v. Illinois, 333 U.S. 640, 653 (1948). And if each of the General Government’s powers must be proven (not simply presumed) to exist, then every requirement that the Constitution sets for any individual’s exercise of those powers must also be proven (not simply presumed) to be fully satisfied before that individual may exercise any of those powers. The Constitution’s command that “[n]o Person except a natural born Citizen * * * shall be eligible to the Office of President” is an

absolute prohibition against the exercise of each and every Presidential power by certain unqualified individuals. Actually (not simply presumptively or speculatively) being “a natural born Citizen” is the condition precedent sine qua non for avoiding this prohibition. Therefore, anyone who claims eligibility for “the Office of President” must, when credibly challenged, establish his qualifications in this regard with sufficient evidence.
In disposing of the lawsuit Berg v. Obama, which squarely presents the question of Obama’s true citizenship, the presiding judge complained that Berg “would have us derail the democratic process by invalidating a candidate for whom millions of people voted and who underwent excessive vetting during what was one of the most hotly contested presidential primary in living memory.” This is exceptionally thin hogwash. A proper judicial inquiry into Obama’s eligibility for “the Office of President” will not deny his supporters a “right” to vote for him—rather, it will determine whether they have any such “right” at all. For, just as Obama’s “right” to stand for election to “the Office of President” is contingent upon his being “a natural born Citizen,” so too are the “rights” of his partisans to vote for him contingent upon whether he is even eligible for that “Office.” If Obama is ineligible, then no one can claim any “right” to vote for him. Indeed, in that case every American who does vote has a constitutional duty to vote against him.
The judge in Berg v. Obama dismissed the case, not because Obama has actually proven that he is eligible for “the Office of President,” but instead because, simply as a voter, Berg supposedly lacks “standing” to challenge Obama’s eligibility:
regardless of questions of causation, the grievance remains too generalized to establish the existence of an injury in fact. * ** [A] candidate’s ineligibility under the Natural Born Citizen Clause does not result in an injury in fact to voters. By extension, the theoretical constitutional harm experienced by voters does not change as the candidacy of an allegedly ineligible candidate progresses from the primaries to the general election.
This pronouncement does not rise to the level of hogwash.
First, the Constitution mandates that “[t]he judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution” (Article III, Section 2, Clause 1). Berg’s suit plainly “aris[es] under th[e] Constitution,” in the sense of raising a critical constitutional issue. So the only question is whether his suit is a constitutional “Case[ ].” The present judicial test for whether a litigant’s claim constitutes a constitutional “Case[ ]” comes under the rubric of “standing”—a litigant with “standing” may proceed; one without “standing” may not. “Standing,” however, is not a term found anywhere in the Constitution. Neither are the specifics of the doctrine of “standing,” as they have been elaborated in judicial decision after judicial decision, to be found there. Rather, the test for “standing” is almost entirely a judicial invention.
True enough, the test for “standing” is not as ridiculous as the judiciary’s so-called “compelling governmental interest test,” which licenses public officials to abridge individuals’ constitutional rights and thereby exercise powers the Constitution withholds from those officials, which has no basis whatsoever in the Constitution, and which is actually anti-constitutional. Neither is the doctrine of “standing” as abusive as the “immunities” judges have cut from whole cloth for public officials who violate their constitutional “Oath[s] or Affirmation[s], to support this Constitution” (Article VI, Clause 3)—in the face of the Constitution’s explicit limitation on official immunities (Article I, Section 6, Clause 1). For the Constitution does require that a litigant must present a true “Case[ ].” Yet, because the test for “standing” is largely a contrivance of all-too-fallible men and women, its specifics can be changed as easily as they were adopted, when they are found to be faulty. And they must be changed if the consequences of judicial ignorance, inertia, and inaction are not to endanger America’s constitutional form of government. Which is precisely the situation here, inasmuch as the purported “election” of Obama as President, notwithstanding his ineligibility for that office, not only will render illegitimate the Executive Branch of the General Government, but also will render impotent its Legislative Branch (as explained below).

Second, the notion upon which the judge in Berg v. Obama fastened—namely, that Berg’s “grievance remains too generalized to establish the existence of an injury in fact,” i.e., if everyone is injured or potentially injured then no one has “standing”—is absurd on its face.
To be sure, no one has yet voted for Obama in the general election. But does that mean that no one in any group smaller than the general pool of America’s voters in its entirety has suffered specific harm from Obama’s participation in the electoral process to date? Or will suffer such harm from his continuing participation? What about the Democrats who voted for Hillary Clinton as their party’s nominee, but were saddled with Obama because other Democrats voted for him even though they could not legally have done so if his lack of eligibility for “the Office of President” had been judicially determined before the Democratic primaries or convention? What about the States that have registered Obama as a legitimate candidate for President, but will have been deceived, perhaps even defrauded, if he is proven not to be “a natural born Citizen”? And as far as the general election is concerned, what about the voters among erstwhile Republicans and Independents who do not want John McCain as President, and therefore will vote for Obama (or any Democrat, for that matter) as “the lesser of two evils,” but who later on may have their votes effectively thrown out, and may have to suffer McCain’s being declared the winner of the election, if Obama’s ineligibility is established? Or what about those voters who made monetary contributions to Obama’s campaign, but may at length discover that their funds went, not only to an ineligible candidate, but to one who knew he was ineligible?
These obvious harms pale into insignificance, however, compared to the national disaster of having an outright usurper purportedly “elected” as “President.” In this situation, it is downright idiocy to claim, as did the judge in Berg v. Obama, that a “generalized” injury somehow constitutes no judicially cognizable injury at all. Self-evidently, to claim that a “generalized” grievance negates “the existence of an injury in fact” is patently illogical—for if everyone in any group can complain of the same harm of which any one of them can complain, then the existence of some harm cannot be denied; and the more people who can complain of that harm, the greater the aggregate or cumulative seriousness of the injury. The whole may not be greater than the sum of its parts; but it is at least equal to that sum! Moreover, for a judge to rule that no injury redressable in a court of law exists, precisely because everyone in America will be subjected to an individual posing as “the President” but who constitutionally cannot be (and therefore is not) the President, sets America on the course of judicially assisted political suicide. If Obama turns out to be nothing more than an usurper who has fraudulently seized control of the Presidency, not only will the Constitution have been egregiously flouted, but also this whole country could be, likely will be, destroyed as a consequence. And if this country is even credibly threatened with destruction, every American will be harmed—irretrievably, should the threat become actuality—including those who voted or intend to vote for Obama, who are also part of We the People. Therefore, in this situation, any and every American must have “standing” to demand—and must demand, both in judicial fora and in the fora of public opinion—that Obama immediately and conclusively prove himself eligible for “the Office of President.”
Utterly imbecilic as an alternative is the judge’s prescription in Berg v. Obama that,
[i]f, through the political process, Congress determines that citizens, voters, or party members should police the Constitution’s eligibility requirements for the Presidency, then it is free to pass laws conferring standing on individuals like [Berg]. Until that time, voters do not have standing to bring the sort of challenge that [Berg] attempts to bring * * * .
Recall that this selfsame judge held that Berg has no constitutional “Case[ ]” because he has no “standing,” and that he has no “standing” because he has no “injury in fact,” only a “generalized” “grievance.” This purports to be a finding of constitutional law: namely, that constitutionally no “Case[ ]” exists. How, then, can Congress constitutionally grant “standing” to individuals such as Berg, when the courts (assuming the Berg decision is upheld on appeal) have ruled that those individuals have no “standing”? If “standing” is a constitutional conception, and the courts deny that “standing” exists in a situation such as this, and the courts have the final say as to what the Constitution means—then Congress lacks any power to contradict them. Congress cannot instruct the courts to exercise jurisdiction beyond what the Constitution includes within “the judicial Power.” Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. (1 Cranch) 137, 173-180 (1803).
In fact, though, a Congressional instruction is entirely unnecessary. Every American has what lawyers call “an implied cause of action”—directly under Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 of the Constitution—to require that anyone standing for “the Office of President” must verify his eligibility for that position, at least when serious allegations have been put forward that he is not eligible, and he has otherwise refused to refute those allegations with evidence that should be readily available if he is eligible. That “Case[ ]” is one the Constitution itself defines. And the Constitution must be enforceable in such a “Case[ ]” in a timely manner, by anyone who cares to seek enforcement, because of the horrendous consequences that will ensue if it is flouted.
What are some of those consequences?
First, if Obama is not “a natural born Citizen” or has renounced such citizenship, he is simply not eligible for “the Office of President” (Article II, Section 1, Clause 4). That being so, he cannot be “elected” by the voters, by the Electoral College, or by the House of Representatives (see Amendment XII). For neither the voters, nor the Electors, nor Members of the House can change the constitutional requirement, even by unanimous vote inter sese (see Article V). If, nonetheless, the voters, the Electors, or the Members of the House purport to “elect” Obama, he will be nothing but an usurper, because the Constitution defines him as such. And he can never become anything else, because an usurper cannot gain legitimacy if even all of the country aid, abets, accedes to, or acquiesces in his usurpation.
Second, if Obama dares to take the Presidential “Oath or Affirmation” of office, knowing that he is not “a natural born Citizen,” he will commit the crime of perjury or false swearing (see Article II, Section 1, Clause 7). For, being ineligible for “the Office of President, he cannot “faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States,” or even execute it at all, to any degree. Thus, his very act of taking the “Oath or Affirmation” will be a violation thereof! So, even if the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court himself looks the other way and administers the “Oath or Affirmation,” Obama will derive no authority whatsoever from it.
Third, his purported “Oath or Affirmation” being perjured from the beginning, Obama’s every subsequent act in the usurped “Office of President” will be a criminal offense under Title 18, United States Code, Section 242, which provides that:
[w]hoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States * * * shall be fined * * * or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined * * * or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, * * *, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined * * * or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
Plainly enough, every supposedly “official” act performed by an usurper in the President’s chair will be an act “under color of law” that necessarily and unavoidably “subjects [some] person * * * to the deprivation of [some] rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution * * * of the United States”—in the most general case, of the constitutional “right[ ]” to an eligible and duly elected individual serving as President, and the corresponding constitutional “immunit[y]” from subjection to an usurper pretending to be “the President.”
Fourth, if he turns out to be nothing but an usurper acting in the guise of “the President,” Obama will not constitutionally be the “Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States” (see Article II, Section 2, Clause 1). Therefore, he will be entitled to no obedience whatsoever from anyone in those forces. Indeed, for officers or men to follow any of his purported “orders” will constitute a serious breach of military discipline—and in extreme circumstances perhaps even “war crimes.” In addition, no one in any civilian agency in the Executive Branch of the General Government will be required to put into effect any of Obama’s purported “proclamations,” “executive orders,” or “directives.”
Fifth, as nothing but an usurper (if he becomes one), Obama will have no conceivable authority “to make Treaties”, or to “nominate, and * * * appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the Supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not * * * otherwise provided for [in the Constitution]” (Article II, Section 2, Clause 2). And therefore any “Treaties” or “nominat[ions], and * * * appoint[ments]” he purports to “make” will be void ab initio, no matter what the Senate does, because the Senate can neither authorize an usurper to take such actions in the first place, nor thereafter ratify them. One need not be a lawyer to foresee what further, perhaps irremediable, chaos must ensue if an usurper, even with “the Advice and Consent of the Senate”, unconstitutionally “appoint[s] * * * Judges of the Supreme Court” whose votes thereafter make up the majorities that wrongly decide critical “Cases” of constitutional law.
Sixth, and perhaps most importantly, Congress can pass no law while an usurper pretends to occupy “the Office of President.” The Constitution provides that “[e]very Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States” (Article I, Section 7, Clause 2). Not to an usurper posturing as “the President of the United States,” but to the true and rightful President. If no such true and rightful President occupies the White House, no “Bill” will or can, “before it become a Law, be presented to [him].” If no “Bill” is so presented, no “Bill” will or can become a “Law.” And any purported “Law” that the usurper “approve[s]” and “sign[s],” or that Congress passes over the usurper’s “Objections,” will be a nullity. Thus, if Obama deceitfully “enters office” as an usurper, Congress will be rendered effectively impotent for as long as it acquiesces in his pretenses as “President.”
Seventh, if Obama does become an usurper posturing as “the President,” Congress cannot even impeach him because, not being the actual President, he cannot be “removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors” (see Article II, Section 4). In that case, some other public officials would have to arrest him—with physical force, if he would not go along quietly—in order to prevent him from continuing his imposture. Obviously, this could possibly lead to armed conflicts within the General Government itself, or among the States and the people.
Eighth, even did something approaching civil war not eventuate from Obama’s hypothetical usurpation, if the Establishment allowed Obama to pretend to be “the President,” and the people acquiesced in that charade, just about everything that was done during his faux “tenure in office” by anyone connected with the Executive Branch of the General Government, and quite a bit done by the Legislative Branch and perhaps the Judicial Branch as well, would be arguably illegitimate and subject to being overturned when a constitutional President was finally installed in office. The potential for chaos, both domestically and internationally, arising out of this systemic uncertainty is breathtaking.
The underlying problem will not be obviated if Obama, his partisans in the Democratic Party, and his cheerleaders and cover-up artists in the big media simply stonewall the issue of his (non)citizenship and contrive for him to win the Presidential election. The cat is already out of the bag and running all over the Internet. If he continues to dodge the issue, Obama will be dogged with this question every day of his purported “Presidency.” And inevitably the truth will out. For the issue is too simple, the evidence (or lack of it) too accessible. Either Obama can prove that he is “a natural born Citizen” who has not renounced his citizenship; or he cannot. And he will not be allowed to slip through with some doctored “birth certificate” generated long after the alleged fact. On a matter this important, Americans will demand that, before its authenticity is accepted, any supposed documentary evidence of that sort be subjected to reproducible forensic analyses conducted by reputable, independent investigators and laboratories above any suspicion of being influenced by or colluding with any public official, bureaucracy, political party, or other special-interest organization whatsoever.
Berg v. Obama may very well end up in the Supreme Court. Yet that ought to be unnecessary. For Obama’s moral duty is to produce the evidence of his citizenship sua sponte et instanter. Otherwise, he will be personally responsible for all the consequences of his refusal to do so.
Of course, if Obama knows that he is not “a natural born Citizen” who never renounced his American citizenship, then he also knows that he and his henchmen have perpetrated numerous election-related frauds throughout the country—the latest, still-ongoing one a colossal swindle targeting the American people as a whole. If that is the case, his refusal “to be a witness against himself” is perfectly explicable and even defensible on the grounds of the Fifth Amendment. Howsoever justified as a matter of criminal law, though, Obama’s silence and inaction will not obviate the necessity for him to prove his eligibility for “the Office of President.” The Constitution may permit him to “take the Fifth;” but it will not suffer him to employ that evasion as a means to usurp the Presidency of the United States.

TrishfromCanada: I hope that psychic and my daughter are right. For America’s sake!

PUMAs! I went to the Fayetteville Observer to see what’s the latest on that school teacher berating the student for wanting McCain as President. This is the latest from Ms. Harris:

Harris said she received no complaints about the political nature of the classroom dialogue until a reporter called her Thursday night. She blamed the controversy on McCain supporters still smarting from their defeat this week.

“If John McCain had won, nothing would be said about this video, doctored or undoctored,” said Harris, who is a registered Democrat.”

CJ, agreed about it must be the PEOPLE who get to the bottom of this. Then again…

We the PEOPLE in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, and ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

I think this is pretty clear that it’s OUR JOB to find a way to enforce this if we want the Constitution to MEAN something. Or we can say this clause is meaningless and it’s not important, at which point the whole thing seems pretty much up for grabs–if you don’t like that part, just don’t follow it. Not sure that’s a precedent even the most blind want to set on the books. But then what do I know?

27

TXRepGirl 11.08.08 at 8:37 am

Just curious, what is that teacher claming was “doctored”? Was her voice superimposed upon the video to make her say things she really didn’t say? And I really think the McCain argument is ridiculous. Are you saying no one cares if you call out a child with a father in the military and tell her she’s voting wrong because she’s voting for the guy that would keep HER FATHER in Iraq for 100 years? Are you saying that’s all right? I’m thinking… no.

Someone should phone him. I dont know what to say to him. He is obviously very aware of the Berg Lawsuit as he analyses it. the question is how to get him to act to do something in the courts. Ask him for an email and we all can deluge him with emails. maybe that is not good.

Just so you know, on the Certificate of Live Birth that O supposedly produced a couple of months ago.

A COLB is not the long form. Obama’s sister Maya, who was born in Jakarta Indonesia was also issued a Hawaiian COLB, sect 7C was available for Foreign Born registered in Hawaii. This info is not available on the short form.

Didn’t it ever throw up red flags to other rational-thinking Americans, except present company and other PUMAs, that “O” actions to seal all his college records, transcripts, COLB, “discarded” his state senate records, etc., that something “smells rotten in Denmark, (or America).”

ladyhawkke 11.08.08 at 8:43 am

#16 TexRepGirl I’m the one who found out it wasn’t sealed. I called the HI Governor’s office and she told me the BC was not sealed. She directed me to the health records where the Director put out a news release that he had the BC and that it would be treated like every other person’s BC, PRIVATE. The post above regarding his sister born in Indonesia and having a Certificate of Live Birth. How do you do that? I don’t understand. Does that mean I can come over here from Italy and then go to the Bureau of Vital Statistics and give them my Italian BC and then get a Certificate of Live Birth. Why would you do that? I don’t understand why Hawaii would accept an Indonesian or whatever BC and then give him a Certificate of Live Birth. This doesn’t make him a Hawaiian citizen but I’m questioning why they would do that. It doesn’t make sense.

Lin4Hill 11.08.08 at 8:45 am

Good morning PUMA-friends,

With all of the handlers and designers for this sham-presidency, I also have doubts that a legitimate birth certificate will ever surface. They will use the U.S. Mint to create one if they have to. (Would love to be proven wrong, but when you see the tsunami of support he’s received from the media and the monied powerbrokers of our country, it seems insurmountable.) Prove me wrong, somebody, and I’ll dance a jig or two.

This is not related to current thread topic, but I found this in my local Alabama paper. The Thrasher Brothers Trailways is a charter bus service and was commissioned to handle transportation for the McCain campaign. A local bus driver recounted his experiences driving the McCains and the Palins to a reporter.

He also drove the Palins to a stop in Pennsylvania so that Sarah Palin could take Piper trick-or-treating.
“They were just down-to-earth people,” Brewster told The Gadsden Times.
Brewster said Alaska Governor Palin always asked him if she could get him anything when she left the bus for an event….Brewster said McCain is a ’super nice guy,’ but Brewster was clearly taken by Palin. ‘He was personable, but she was more down-to-earth, on my level,” Brewster said. ‘She could carry on a conversation with anybody.’”
—————-the media should be ashamed. Maybe someday when they stop kissing themselves in the mirror, the truth will sink in.

Does anyone else remember the comment made by Bill Clinton at a rally very early in his “support” for Obama? He was being badgered by reporters to be more open about his opinion of Obama. In one of the articles I read he said that on Jan 20, 2009 he would have ALOT to say about this election. Most people glanced over it, but that one quote keeps rolling around in my head. I think there is something big going on and the Clintons are aware of it.

TXRepGirl 11.08.08 at 8:54 am

#31 ladyhawke. That was my question too! Actually both of them: 1) as a mother why would you do that? 2) as a state why would you do that?

The only thing I can figure is some sort of dual citizenship, but then Indonesia didn’t allow for that, so I don’t know. There are just more questions here than answers, like how BO traveled to Pakistan in 1981 on a (if he was a U.S. citizen) U.S. passport, except that in 1981 Pakistan wasn’t recognizing U.S. passports and so would not have let him into the country, but he did go, and he was let in. So what passport did he use? And doesn’t that call into question if he is at least a dual citizen?

And yeah, why keep ALL of your formal records secret. At first on the college stuff, I thought it was grades or maybe thesis or classes he took. Now I’m not so sure. Too many questions.

TxRepGirl #27:

That’s what I’d like to know. When Harris asked the children, those that responded “Obama” she never said a word, but moved to the next child.

Another question: How can you tell a child, who’s parent is in the military, that they’re father will be in Iraq for another 100 years? Where’s her compassion as a teacher for that child? There may already be stress in that child’s household worrying about her parent’s well-being. She may be stoking the flames. Or if that child wasn’t worried, she may be now. I know as a child, I believed what my teacher told me was the truth.

My daughter is a teacher with students who have parents in Iraq. She has told me that she never brings up the war. She said if they bring it up, she’s a good listener.

46

TXRepGirl 11.08.08 at 9:00 am

Avenues and Angles:

For those interested, here are the angles I’m aware of on this thing:

1) Petition to all Electoral College delegates to certify the BC before they vote (Dec. 6–I believe)
2) Berg suit before the SCOTUS, in which court brushed the suit aside but did require Obama to produce an Original Birth Certificate (not Certificate of Live Birth) by Dec. 1
3) Petition to Congress to require the certificate
4) Andy Martin working at the state level to obtain documentation
5) Dr. Viera and his work

Not sure where any of this can or will go, but it is not going away until the SCOTUS either disregards the Constitution and their own integrity, or we get documentation, or we head into a Constitutional crisis…

47

Lin4Hill 11.08.08 at 9:04 am

I,too, am more curious about the closed records regarding BO’s college years, or scholarship support. When you refuse to be open about something that should be quite trivial compared to other qualifications for a presidency, it suggests a questionable history. We have heard that a prominent Middle-Eastern benefactor may have provided grants/scholarships to Muslim students at that time. When one is not open about this time period, or where money to support academic pursuits came from, it leaves the imagination to connect its own dots.

sistermoon3 11.08.08 at 9:09 am

The birth certificate needs to be produced period, John McCain had to show proof of his…no one is above the law, no one.
If Barak is indeed not a natural born citizen but has had duel citizenship, he is not eligible, period. I dont care how many worshippers he has, or how many lawyers he has. Once it’s produced, then get on with it, but I for one will not be always doubtful until it is once and for all solved and closed.

As for that dumbass teacher in North Carolina, she needs to be removed from the teaching profession. Let her have her retirement benefits for the 27 years served and who knows, she might have enough sick leave days to make up and actually have full retirement benefits, but get her out of any classroom period. Believe you me
there are thousands out there just like her, I know because i worked with them white and black who were just tooooooo damned vocal in the halls and classrooms during elections.

TXRepGirl:

Did you know that when Obama went to Pakistan at age 20, he was the guest of the recent Interim President Soomro of Pakistan? Also, at the time, someone from South America, told Soomro to watch over Obama.

Here it is:

Soomro was among Obama’s hosts in Pakistan

Thursday, April 24, 2008
NEW YORK: Chairman Senate Muhammadmian Soomro may be having a friend in White House if Barak Hussain Obama finally succeeds in his presidential bid.

Hardly a few people know about Soomro’s link with Obama, which he never discussed it in public. But in private interactions with influential Pakistanis here in the US, Obama disclosed that Soomro’s father was his host when he went on a hunting expedition in Jacobabad during his visit to Pakistan in 1981.

While in Karachi, Obama had stayed at the residence of his college friend, Hassan Chandio. In Jacobabad, he was the guest of Soomro family. Muhammadmian Soomro confirmed this information and said it was his first meeting with Obama.

“Yes, he had been our guest and spent three days in Jacobabad,” he told The News. Soomro, presently in the US, his second home, said an American friend had told his father, Ahmadmian Soomro, about Obama’s arrival in Pakistan and asked him to look after the American. Soomro’s father was the deputy speaker of West Pakistan Assembly and had also later served in the Senate.

FLORIDA PUMA

This was posted on Craigslist. I am in Florida and I forwarded it to Berg, asking for his help. If we could do a few states, we could start a dominoe effect. Post if you are interested. I will be in and out through the day.

Now that the election is over, we NEED to see the birth certificate from Kenya. [NOTE: kenya has apparently sealed their birth records - if so why(?)] if there is nothing there to begin with. I have figured out how Obama’s mother may have obtained an Hawaiian Certificate of Live Birth under the lax statutes then in effect in Hawaii even though he was born in Kenya. Again, the “Certificate of Live Birth”, according both the controlling statute and the language on the document itself, is only prima facie evidence of its contents
Under Florida Law, Fla. Stat. sec. 102.168 (1) & (3)(b), any elector [voter] qualified to vote or any Florida taxpayer can now challenge Obama’s election in Florida circuit court on the grounds of “Ineligibility of the successful candidate for the nomination or office in dispute” ANY Florida taxpayer and/or registered voter has STANDING to raise this issue but who ever does it must act fast and must have access to the evidence that Philip Berg possesses. This would award McCain Florida’s electorial college votes and deny them to Obama. A Florida court has this authority under statute and if this would effect the overall outcome of the presidential election in the US, the court just might do so if Berg’s evidence is any good. Don’t let this window of opportunity close!

Martin has a court hearing Tuesday, November 18th in the Circuit Court for Honolulu, Hawai’i at 10:30 A.M. to force release of Obama’s original birth files.

PUMA’s Unleashed. I think what you’re referring to is does he have to have the birth certificate from when he was BORN. (i.e. they didn’t lose it in a move). I do NOT think that’s the definition. I believe if he simply went to the Hawaiian registrar’s office and asked for an original birth certificate (long version), the document (if it was there) would be all the documentation that would be required.

(I lost my son’s ORIGINAL birth certificate from the hospital, so when they were going to throw him out of kindergarten if I didn’t bring one in, I went down to the courthouse, paid $24 and had what amounted to a new original printed up. Took about 5 minutes.)

I really think an ORIGNIAL like THAT would be perfectly acceptable. So where is it?

It’s been a tough week for teachers. I know–I am one. I teach in a BO-adoring community with inner-city kids who believe everything is now going to come to them. After reading the blog this week, and all the conjecture about the choice of colors for the new first-family’s wardrobe (red/black), I realized that the AA teachers in my school were wearing those colors as well. Yesterday several AA teachers sported Obama t-shirts. One teacher down the hall is writing songs in his honor and the children are singing them daily.
Rumors down here are that the front pages of the local paper that sport an almost-actual-size grinning BO are selling for hundreds of dollars.
I have to smile and say nice things to my students about this new guy, or say nothing at all. I have to let them write letters of praise and journal entries of this historic day. As much as it hurts me. But when one of my students pointed at me the other day and said, “Your great grandfather had slaves,” I let him have it. I informed him strongly that his comment was racist to me, assuming that all white folks had slave-owning ancestry. My great-great-greats were coal miners, fishermen from Scotland, or simple farmers that never got rich. Most came to America after the Civil War. (I know you all don’t need to know that–just the info I gave him)
But, my point is that teachers are quoted at home. Children never forget how a teacher made them feel. And we aren’t perfect, and it’s been a tough week for NOBAMA teachers–smiling though our hearts are breaking…..and some things may slip out we regret saying. But that teacher was totally unprofessional.

GBPuma,

I was wondering that too. Since McCain conceded, does that mean that Bozo gets to be sworn in even if the actual votes determine that he doesn’t win the electoral college.
and
utahpuma 11.08.08 at 7:45 am

GBPuma

Where are you watching these counts? I’m curious too.

I will try to answer yo all here at once.
Ist and the most important is that Obozo HAS NOT BEEN ELECTED YET!!!! The vote that happens on and before Nov. 4th the General Election when it pertains to the President is the equivalent of a Straw Poll and even so the vote totals are not official in any state until ALL votes are counted, verified, and then CERTIFIED by the states and most of the states it is NOT until just before Dec. 1st. We as citizens DO NOT elect the President we elect the DELEGATES that represent a candidate to the Electoral College. And the Electoral College are who cast the official vote for the President and that vote is then sent to Congress who meet on Jan, 6th in full session, Senate and House, to approve and debate the choice and then vote for the President, and that is the OFFICIAL vote for President in the US…..To put it in it’s simplest it still is CONGRESS THAT ELECTS the POTUS, with the suggestion from the official state representatives(Electoral College Delegates)vote, who receive their SUGGESTION of choice from the popular vote.

In answering your question MuchAdoAboutSomething there is the possibility that yes he can. But first McCain did not concede…it was a congratulations speech based on only the reported results of the media on election night, which especially this year is not the full results because of so many early votes and absentee ballots and provisional ballots that get counted, and some are not even due for 10-15 days after the election, and only get counted and verified over the next 2-3 weeks. The official popular vote result is not until they are certified by the each state prior to the meeting of the Electoral College delegates around Dec. 1st in most places. But in a normal year the certified vote count is what the Electoral College casts their votes on and the Congress in a normal year will base there votes on these Electoral College votes…..but in the end it does come down to the vote of Congress….and this can get sticky, that is why there could not be a President sworn in on Jan 20th as normally planned and the Speaker could take the reins as acting POTUS until a President is chosen….there are time limits to the debates but there are things that can drag it out forever also.
But in general in a normal year it is the person that wins the Electoral College Vote that becomes the POTUS no matter what the results on election night were and who the media claim. Remember Dewey/Truman, that was in a much less complicated time of elections where you didn’t have all this voting outside of the polling place on election day, and Truman believed he lost and the morning headlines had Dewey as the winner and in the end it was really Truman the winner.
The average person doesn’t understand the full Presidential elections in this country. The election of the POTUS is one of the most complex and complicated systems in modern use….it was established in a very different time with very specific reasons and has become very outdated, but we are stuck with the complications of the system until someone decides to finally fix it.

utahpuma the ONLY sources for the election totals are the state election board…..some do not post the results until everything is fully certified but they are the only legitimate authority….during this pre-certifying period the totals are gotten from the state election sites and going all the way down to the county election results sites…..so there is nothing set in stone when it comes to the vote count until it is certified by the states….there are many votes to be counted and then many complaints and lawsuits to deal with, and a list of many things that need to be dealt with before they can certify a result.

So in short folks, election day is just the beginning of the process, the final word is on Jan. 6th (if there are no complications) when Congress casts there votes.

for CJ it doesn’t matter whether the media reports it or not, the certified vote of each state is all that matters legally as the Official popular vote that determines the delegates votes and Congress’ vote…..in a normal year.

you can also download the software free from here

http://www.phpbb.com/

notice the claims of free software and also advertising free. This software is OPEN SOURCE. so the source code is there for people to modify and play with.

I have seen some with beautiful graphics and user interface. I consider the format on phpBB commuity to be kind of plain. But more than acceptable and many people simply use this plain format.

I hope that PUMA will use this FREE software to help PUMA grow into a larger organization. It will handle a much higher traffic of postings in an organized way so that we can accomplish more. Getting the information to members better.

I do like the friendliness of the present simple format where everyone reads all posts but it really is getting top heavy with over a thousand posts a day. Thus so much good information is lost or never read and impossible to retrieve agains. Hopefully with phpBB software members will be able to easy retrieve information using the search feature.

Members are also given individual accounts with the ability to personal message individuals. thus if I read a post I can message the person asking a question. and get the answer back into my message list. finding the answer very easy.

With the present software if I ask a question publicly I might get an answer but never able to find the answer under some 1000 responses on different ideas.

This software allows us to turn chaos communication into organized communication.

I worry even this posting will be lost and I will never know if anyone responds to what I have posted.

****** I THINK THE PUMAS SHOULD DO A DAILY PROWL TO THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE EACH AND EVERY DAY, MAYBE MORE THAN ONCE A DAY TO DEMAND BO PROVE CITIZENSHIP BEFORE THE VOTE. I THINK THIS IS THE ONLY AVENUE FOR US.
MAYBE IF THEY GET BOMBARDED ON A DAILY BASIS THEY WILL HAVE TO WAKE UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. WE CANNOT DEPEND ON THE COURTS, MONEY TALKS AND BO WALKS. I THINK THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE IS THE KEY.
MURPHY, NOT SURE IF THIS HAS BEEN SAID BEFORE. I HAVE BEEN AWAY FOR A FEW DAYS. I THINK THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN AND VERY QUICKLY.

Thanks. I was mistaken then about McCain conceding and got that from some media outlet - either that or I assumed that he conceded with the speech. You know what they say about assuming something.

It’s very easy to find an answer, all you need to do is a search on a keyword, i do it often if I’m looking for something in particular.

Murphy has worked very hard and spent endless hours building this new website. I think it seems a little insensitive to suggestion changing the platform so quickly after this one was just built.

Sorry if that sounds harsh, but I’m thinking of all Murphy’s work into this website and I wouldn’t want her to feel it is unappreciated.

I have to go out for a bit, bbl

with regard to the BC, I alerted Arnold some months ago. I am sure he is is not happy that obama got in.. Conceivably i could have been him and not Obama. Wonder how he feels about it now!

Since I have little faith in our government and honestly believe that BOTH the Democraps and the Repugs are nothing but puppets on a string, I’m wondering just what is in store for America and the American people. JFK, RFK and MLK were ALL silenced and the evidence that implicated any wrong doing on the part of our government was trampled down as well.. Same goes for 9-11..
As much as I loathe Obama, I’m somewhat concerned that he is just a PUPPET ON A STRING,being used in order to further divide and conquer this country.
There is entirely too much about his past that hasn’t been revealed. We know it, the MSM knows it, and I honestly believe the OBOTS know it too although they may never admit it.. If by chance it ALL comes out, and he is required to step down or something happens to him, we are ALL in grave danger. Just look at that crowd in Philly. MANY that supported him will NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NOGHT.

81

Woodie 11.08.08 at 9:57 am

Another thing to consider, the military vote. Seeing it was not counted because it was late, the military ,in reality, are not obliged to follow the orders of this “Commander in Chief:, because of his status of not being a US citizen or one who refuses to prove it. There maybe a fuss there.

The best way to get out of this economy is not panic. Why, because the bailout is fabricated to a certain extent. People should go back into the market for instance and buy stocks that are low so you are ensured of making profit. We have had recessions before. This one is going to be bad but we can make it. If we panic it will give the people who want to take over america their chance to do so, and yes if obama turns out to be a puppet it will be through him. We certainly don’t want to give them an excuse to use that Martial Law like they did at Katrina.

Wouldn’t the US Passport Agency have a record of Obama’s 1st Passport?
He did, as you will recall, travel to Pakistan.

89

ladyhawkke 11.08.08 at 10:09 am

#88 Lilibet Yes I heard he travelled to Pakistan on an Indonesian passport, at least that’s what Berg says. So how are we going to get his Indonesian passport or even a record of it?

My daughter and I were lamenting the fact that all of the checks and balances in our system of government are a sham! How can anyone believe in America as a free country? We have been foiled at every turn and NO ONE is listening as Obuma divides and conquers our way of life.
Why do we vote? It means nothing..Now I am sure the “electoral college” is in the bag for that one also…they have infiltrated everything!

I’ve also heard a little news last night. If Obama opens and reads any US documents containing classified State Security Secrets, that in and of itself, is a Treasonable offense.

It’s not over, till it’s over! (or we say it is!)

YES that is as long as he is not sworn into as the legitimate POTUS…Any security material that he sees between now and then would put charges of espionage and treason on his head and if it is Pres. Bush that shows it to him or anyone else that does so the charges will also fall on them…….they can have security briefings but any material that is classified must remain classified until his Presidential clearance becomes active after OFFICIALLY being sworn in as POTUS.

To answer your question. I think he went on an Indonesian passport.
Both indonesia and the the US do not allow dual citizenship. Remember he was adopted by his second father who was Indonesian. Remember also Hawaii did not become a state till 1959. The reason him and his sister probably got a COLB from Hawaii was, they were probably pretty lax back then. I know because I lived there for 20 yrs. :)

Talk to Berg on getting the indonesian passport or maybe corsi.

Lovely.
Change We Can Believe In ….

FIRST DRAFT:
“Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year.”

NEW DRAFT:
“Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by setting a goal that all middle school and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year and by developing a plan so that all college students who conduct 100 hours of community service receive a universal and fully refundable tax credit ensuring that the first $4,000 of their college education is completely free.”

Notice the word “require” is now “goal” ….

And now the government (us) will be giving away $4,000 to the college students who serve Dear Leader. :roll:

#94 Woodie Berg doesn’t have any evidence whatsoever. I talked to have a couple of months ago and he filed the lawsuit with no evidence, only internet rumors and what BO stated in his books which, by the way, he had never read. I don’t have much faith in any of this. I told Berg how can you file suit and you have nothing, you haven’t even read his books? He said he would go buy the books but he thought he had a good case because he could depose Obama under oath and question him about what he said in his books.

Hello -

I just checked out the ‘New England Mint’ and found the following:


Own a piece of American history with the colorized Obama-Biden coin celebrating the 44th President of the United States of America. This full-detailed coin depicts Obama-Biden set on an American flag and White House backdrop.

• Three-Coin Set Each Sealed in an acrylic capsule
• Colorized detail on the Illinois State Quarter
• “American Historical Election 2008 - First African-American President”

I needed to see it for myself .. It is what it is …

The two drafts. We were talking about that on here the other night. Someone posted the link which I immediately clicked on and saw the first draft. We spent about 20 minutes talking about this draft. I then went back to the website and the second draft was up. Yep - bambi is watching everything we do. Hi bambi - how are you today!!!!

Here’s a computer trip: “How to change your ip address”.
do a search on “trace my ip address”….then lookup your ip address.
one of them will bring it up on your screen.. make a note of it. Then overnite unplug your dsl box or modem and router. In the morning plug it all back in. Reboot your computer. Go to “trace my ip address” and it should be changed. When you do that there is a little map of where your computer is located, like the city not the actual street address. check it out.

I did it and it worked. If you are active on the internet i.e. send an
email, blog, etc. they can easily get your ip so you may want to change it. It would have come in handy when we all went to that API web page, for example.
