Barack Obama gave a liberal stump speech at the National Payer Breakfast this morning in DC.
The president pushed immigration, Obamacare, gay marriage, cap and trade, etc.
He also took a shot at birthers:
The community organizer learned well from his mentor Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Church is about pushing an agenda.

Prayer breakfast? In what way is Obama qualified to speak at a Prayer Breakfast?
February 4th, 2010 | 9:03 am | #2
WHAT????? This was soooo “unexpected”.
LOL keep talking you arrogant, progressive.
February 4th, 2010 | 9:11 am | #3
What little I watched (before I hit the mute button) was basically the same stump speech he gave for almost two years before convincing the majority of voters that he represented “hopeychange”. This guy has nothing new, and basically, with his latest trip to NH, is already on the campaign trail (not that he ever left it).
Question: Obama has been in office over a year now. When can we expect him to start acting like a president and not a perpetual candidate?
February 4th, 2010 | 9:14 am | #4
Never, Clinton campaigned through his whole eight years. Barry will never man up or admit anything he does that does’nt work. Arrogant, Narssacist that he is.
February 4th, 2010 | 9:17 am | #5
Did Obama really say corpseman?? What an ignoramous.
February 4th, 2010 | 9:19 am | #6
In response to Opus#6, he is every bit as qualified to speak at a prayer breakfast, as he is to sit in the oval office. In other words, He Ain’t!
February 4th, 2010 | 9:20 am | #7
BO thinks the same old talk will continue to work its magic. Even at a place and time where it is not appropriate.
Besides, what else does he have?
He’s a slow learner.
February 4th, 2010 | 9:25 am | #8
What a disgraceful ego-driven performance, spoken with the attitude of a wannabe prophet instead of a follower of faith.
The arrogant looking-down-his-nose pose is becoming a running joke, except it’s not really amusing. Well, no more amusing than his ping-pong teleprompter head swivel.

Jn 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he stood not in the truth; because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.
We ARE grounded in our faith, Barack. You are pure evil.
February 4th, 2010 | 9:28 am | #10
I didn’t buy this speech. A prayer breakfast is about praying in communion with others, not campaigning.
There has not been one President who ran for office who hasn’t had their faith or their eligibility looked into, let alone their backgrounds. I’d like to know why Obama thinks he’s above what the others went through. It’s standard operating procedure — for everyone except him now? He’s offended? Get over it, jerk.
I’ve read historical prayer breakfasts and every leader was humble, except this guy. He wasn’t humble at all. He was preachy and hypocritical given his voting record.
February 4th, 2010 | 9:34 am | #11
This guy is a grade A douche…is it 2012 yet?

Sounds about as bad as Martha Coakley getting up at the MLK celebration to beg for votes in MA.
February 4th, 2010 | 9:49 am | #13
I question his intelligence.
I question his patriotism.
I question his motives.
I question his audacity.
I am sure there are more.
I have another question, who writes these speeches for him?
February 4th, 2010 | 9:50 am | #14
Surely we can agree that Obama has faith in man, not God. It’s true, and don’t call me Shirley!

Daniel, it’s really fruitless to ask any more questions; the man hasn’t answered the very first one yet.
He will answer to something, though…come November, he’ll answer to the people. If he decides to run for reelection, he’ll GET an answer and it won’t be the one he wants to hear.

The framers delineated a certain subset of Americans for the executive branch for reasons of national security and loyalty.These Americans needed to be more than mere citizens. They had to be Natural Born Citizens.Both parents had to have citizenship at the time of the birth. Obama’s problem without ever having to pry a document loose from the Dept. of Health Hawaii or amuse the public with his cyber-forgery is that HIS SIRE was never a US citizen,merely a soujourner passing through. The Framers knew what would be required to obtain allegiance…we can now see the knew what the hell they wee doing.

Happy Thursday – what a way to start the day. Agree with all of the above posts. The guy doesn’t have a clue. He’s saying what will sell to the crowd but he doesn’t seem to believe it – at least not by his actions.
My daughter has been at a couple of these prayer breakfasts – they have been vibrant places of faith and sharing. Her group wasn’t there this year – they are pro-life. Haven’t heard why they were there but do have my thoughts on the issue – especially since POTUS is clearly anti-life.
Off to have my own prayer breakfast – and to pray for the POTUS and our country.

Exactly. I was yelling that at the tv last night when OReilly was idiotically going on about it.
It is really not that hard to understand unless you are stuck in cover up mode.
Which I am starting to believe (including OReilly) is the game.
February 4th, 2010 | 10:22 am | #23
The Prevaricator of the United States/POTUS Barack H. Obama has been in full campaign mode ever since Scott Brown won, therefore, he is getting more brazen than ever. We are going to have to endure lies spouting from his blue lips every time he opens his mouth from now until election day 2010 and 2012. The truth is not in him.

I have been to 4 or 5 National Prayer Breakfasts (and had the opportunity to hear Mother Teresa at one of them). I actually worked as a volunteer setting them up for about 3-4 weeks prior to the events. It takes a ton of work.
This “speech” of B.O. is totally inappropriate for the event. TOTALLY!!!! This event is a Christian event. This is not a campaign event or a place for a “SOTU”-type of speech. This is an event in which the Christian leaders of the US shows prayer support for the President of the US.
And the President always speaks. Usually not about his agenda, but about his appreciation for the support of the Christian community along with showing some humility. Showing that he was a human with frailities.
I never heard a President speak in such a manner as B.O. How awful for those wonderful people who spend their time and money to put on this event. There are at least 5K there meeting. They come from all over the world.
This is just embarrassing.
February 4th, 2010 | 10:33 am | #27
Dear Mr. President,
I have a terrific idea, one which you and your staff have seemingly overlooked.
Since the crazy “birthers” are constantly nipping at your heels, and obviously getting under your skin, surely you would jump at the chance to render those nuts instantly impotent. Am I right?
Ok, here’s what you do. Release your complete birth records.
Actually, it’s such a simple solution that I’m surprised you haven’t already thought of it. But I’m glad I could be of help.
February 4th, 2010 | 10:34 am | #28
Olm #22, yeah, O’Reilly is in coverup mode. To even suggest that newspaper birth announcements are proof of anything at all is just plain ol’ stupidity. To add insult to injury, O’Reilly gave Jon Stewart a forum to blast Bush and conservatives to our faces. If O’Reilly keeps it up, he’d better hope for a deal with Comedy Central.
February 4th, 2010 | 10:40 am | #29
Aren’t we tired of fanning Obama’s antipathy? Let’s not spread the word “birther” on behalf of Alinsky-Obama disciples of ridicule. He was careful to reference his own “citizenship” which misses the point that his avowed Communist FATHER was not a US Citizen, and that this man has held three citizenships since birth beside American, Kenyan and Indonesian that influence his manner of allegiance that remains committed to global governance through loyalty to Marxism. Obama is anti-American Constitution.
A week or so ago, Michael Savage used the term “birther” in a very intelligent context having nothing to do with conservative support for the Constitutional prerequisite that every potus be born a natural citizen, consistently understood to require both parents being US Citizens.
I wish I could recall. It was said in passing regarding something else, and I wasn’t at the computer to make note. Perhaps Savage or Beowolf can go back in their archive and search out “birther” in Savage’s monologue because it was well worth noting, and it actually signified what one would imagine the word means from its own roots.
February 4th, 2010 | 10:43 am | #30
For demagogue prayer, Obama campaigns for the public’s blind faith. ‘In B+rry We Trust,’ only if you are a fool and a fraud.
February 4th, 2010 | 10:45 am | #31
People need to move on from asking about his birth certificate. The MSM and Obama have started to talk and make fun of ‘birthers’ more and more. Bringing it out of the darkness but making it a running joke. So let’s put that to rest, for now, and start asking why all of his other information is hidden. If there is nothing to hide then why hide it? And why pay millions to keep it hidden.
I’ve also wondered…if he taught Constitutional law for ten years, where are his pupils? Has anyone heard of anyone coming out touting what a great teacher he was or not? It’s like he came from nowhere and everyone is more than happy to not investigate any of his life before his dealings with ACORN. I’d also like to see someone come forward about Michelle’s past work experience, education, etc.
February 4th, 2010 | 10:47 am | #32
The defense is always that birthers are the equivalent to 9/11 truthers, which is not even close. The birth issue could EASILY be resolved decisively and with zero doubt, with one piece of paper. It is within Obama’s power to put the issue to rest, but he finds it more advantageous to use it as an attack against his critics so he keeps the doubt alive. Pulling one piece of paper out of the vault and displaying it is WAY EASIER and 100% conclusive, compared to proving a widespread government conspiracy to murder its own citizens.
He sees the question about his birth as an advantage, because anyone who simply wants to know what that piece of paper says can be derided as a “birther” or “racist”.
His excuse is that his birth certificate will “embarass” him … what is on a birth certificate that could be embarassing? Is he ashamed of his length? His weight? The doctor who delivered him? His parents’ names? His birth name being different from his current name?
Natural born status notwithstanding, it’s probably that last bit with the names. We expect movie stars and authors to change their names or use pseudonyms, but not our Presidents.
February 4th, 2010 | 10:47 am | #33
RedBeard,you nailed it exactly.
If SOBama simply released complete birth records and college transcripts that substantiated his claim, the “birthers” would then be seen in the same league as the “flat earth society” crowd, neutered and silent rather than gaining believers.
February 4th, 2010 | 10:50 am | #34
I could only get through half of it. Recycled laugh line about Mrs. BHO keeping him humble, other “progressive” talking points and issue of his citizenship. Given the extremely polarizing nature of this individual, I keep coming back to the question that probably bothers me the most: Should it become necessary to declare martial law ( God forbid ) will the military apply its weaponry against the citizens of this country. Moreover, how will the unresolved nature of his citizenship effect the perception of the legitimacy of his being constitutionally qualified to serve as CIC, should such dark times come to pass?
February 4th, 2010 | 10:58 am | #35
There is no evidence that Obama was born anywhere other than where he claims to have been born, but that hardly puts this to rest. The problem is the secrecy, created by his own unexplained refusal to open his records.
The most likely scenario is that his birth records include some other information, other than place of birth, that will prove embarrassing. Why else would he refuse to release the records?
He could end the controversy today, if he wanted to do so.
February 4th, 2010 | 11:00 am | #36
To even suggest that newspaper birth announcements are proof of anything at all is just plain ol’ stupidity.
Could you please elaborate on that point, Auntie Madder? I agree that a New York Times article on, say, global warming, isn’t proof of anything, because global warming is politically-charged and the Times intentionally misreports news on politically-charged topics all the time. However, I’ve never heard of anyone placing false birth notices in a newspaper for any reason. Why on earth would the Honolulu newspaper have done that with respect to Obama some 48 years ago?
February 4th, 2010 | 11:02 am | #37
The most likely scenario is that his birth records include some other information, other than place of birth, that will prove embarrassing. Why else would he refuse to release the records?
Exactly, Red. I’ve suspected that the original certificate lists religion as “Muslim” or some other politically inconvenient fact, and that that’s the only reason it hasn’t been released.
February 4th, 2010 | 11:02 am | #38
Another Obama con — he wants to bail out Social Security because this is the first year that SS will be running a shortfall. Total BS. SS will run this shortfall for 12 years — after which the boomers who had less children will begin to collect SS and it will be solvent till 2042. Then it pays out at 85% if nothing is done.
Stopping the shortfall is easy — raise the caps or raise the retirement age. But that would be too easy. Obama has now figured that the Dems are going to lose Seniors so they are pulling out that old chestnut — we saved SS. When Repubs say no to this boondoggle the Dems have their 2010 issue.
February 4th, 2010 | 11:02 am | #39
Obama may be a citizen of the United States through some channel, but he is not a natural born citizen because his parents were not BOTH
U.S. citizens; therefore, according to the U.S. Constitution, of which Obama is wiping his fee on, he is not eligible to hold Office. This guy is such a smug ass; I can’t wait until he is taken out of the Whitehouse and thrown in the gutter where he belongs. How hard is it to provide a ‘Live Birth’ Birth Certificate anyhow?
An attack on the U.S. is deemed ‘certain’ within the next three to six months thanks to Obama’s policies and his Faith.

Democratic Partisan Disaster on display.

Obama uses Christians to further his immigration policies – he is one sick mother. Isn’t it Obama’s policy to not allow those who donate to charities to receive a tax break? Obama looks at those illegal aliens as millions of votes for the Democrats – there is always a sick motive behind everything Obama does.
February 4th, 2010 | 11:12 am | #42
I am not into this birther stuff except that I believe he is hiding something. It could be that because he was adopted and maybe then it was rescinded, the only certified birth certificate would show that at some time he was a citizen of another country. When anyone is adopted, a revised certified birth certificate is the most current birth certificate available.
I think we need to get away from it because it draws the focus away from other very important issues such as this so-called “heathcare reform” and his other very leftist agenda.
Besides, if Bobby Jindal decides to run for President, the Dems have nothing to say about it. I know there is noise from that section about his parents not being citizens of the US when he was born.

I don’t think there is anything in the birth cerficate, I think it is the tip of the iceberg and if released eveerything snowballs.
I’m actually glad he won’t release it, because it is not the point. The point is that, as already stated, the guy has had 3 citizenships and one as late as 19-21 years old. This is the problem. I think they figure if they release the bc the pressure to release the rest will get worse.
There is going to be some shock if everything about this guy is ever known to the general public.

I had to pass this along, another joke from DH’s Navy buddies.
” I sat, as did millions of other Americans, and watched as the government underwent a peaceful transition of power a few months ago. At first, I felt a swell of pride and patriotism while Barack Obama took his Oath of office..
However, all that pride quickly vanished as I later watched 21 Marines, in full dress uniform with rifles, fire a 21-gun salute to the President.
It was then that I realized how far America ’s Military had deteriorated.
Every last one of them missed. “

JPL17 #36: If Obamao were born in Kenya, for instance, yet his teenage mother wanted him to have American citizenship and the advantages that come with it, having the announcements placed in HI newspapers would have been a smart move. Contrary to what O’Reilly said, she wouldn’t have needed to predict that he’d one day become POTUS to see know that the birth announcements might come in handy one day in the future. There are many advantages that come with American citizenship (such as the legal right to live and work here) other than the privilege to run for political office. Also, I could easily dig up a baby girl’s birth announcement from a HI newspaper from the early 60s and say that baby was me. Add that to the ease of obtaining a HI COLB in the early 60s, and VOILA! instant American citizen. Obamao wouldn’t be the only American citizen via citizenship through the state of HI who was born on foreign soil.
Incidentally, there are questions regarding the validity of the birth announcements, not only their authenticity (only made public via web site viewing) but also the published home address of the parents (none of the people who lived in the neighboring houses at the time remember the couple, even as remarkable as bi-racial couples were in 1961; the address isn’t among the many recorded home addresses of Stanly Dunham).
February 4th, 2010 | 11:29 am | #48
What he means by “find our way back to civility” is that “we don’t have the majority now and need a vote or two, so we are willing to make it look like we are working with you.” Don’t know about any of you, but I say keep being the Party of NO! That’s the only way we are going to stop these crazies.
As for the post on Obama calling for martial law. This came up during the campaign. People stating that Obama had asked military leaders if they would ever give their troops the order to fire on the American people. Each and every one stated that it would never happen. I don’t think that it’s much to worry about, at least at this point. But with this clown who knows what idiot scheme he’s going to come up with next. Nothing would suit me more than to have him handcuffed and dragged out of the White House.

I am relieved to see that I’m not the only one onto O’Reilly’s game. He’s been annoying me with his crowing about ratings….he’s looking desperate by holding on to Glenn Beck’s coattails and dragging him down….he’s a pompous pootenanny, and I think he’s part of the progressive machine.
We should stop watching him. He’ll look at his ratings and change. Because he only cares about his numbers….just ask him.

The Scribbler #48
I wish I could be as sanguine about martial law. I’m not a militia nut or survivalist or anything like either of those two. My concern stems from the possibility that all of the crises that have unfolded under BHO might well be orchestrated and going according to plan.
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6967
I understand this comes off as being somewhat paranoid, but I am not willing to discount the possibility. Should such orchestrated crisis reach the societal tipping point, I see this megalomaniac jumping at the opportunity to declare martial law. At that point we are in constitutional crisis, not the least due to whether or not this empty suit is qualified. If not then all bets are off. That’s my only interest is the birth certificate bru-ha-ha. Hopefully we can just muddle through the next three years and vote him out.

(PP and it’s shells donated plenty to his campaign)
“… hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. And we do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs …”

There is not a forum that he will not go into the stump speech , attack mode. Reminds me of the Senator’s funeral in Minnesota a few years back.Turned inot a pep rally for the replacement candidate. Disgraceful.

Man Who Attacks Pope as “Hurting People in the Name of Jesus” Gets Appointed to Oversee Faith-Based Initiatives
This is really disturbing.
Barack Obama has appointed Harry Knox to the White House’s Office of Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
In March, Knox began an attack on the Catholic Church during a speech before the gay rights group Human Rights Campaign.
Knox, attacking Pope Benedict XVI directly, said the Pope and, through him the Catholic Church, is “hurting people in the name of Jesus.”
After his appointment, Knox was confronted with his comment and reaffirmed that he hates the Pope.

I’d let the ‘birther’ comments go if I were working to get rid of Obama: he’s choosing the ground upon which he wants to fight, and the birther stuff only plays in his favour. He can portray his opponents as a bunch of racist wingnuts, and the sympathy of a lot of independents will be won. And it doesn’t matter if there is any substance to people’s suspicions — the ship has sailed on this one and the only way it will ever work to the advantage of those who oppose Obama is if they can turn up absolutely irrefutable proof (and that ain’t gonna happen).
February 4th, 2010 | 1:17 pm | #58
My daughter was born in a big city, but I made a PHONE CALL and voila!! Our tiny hometown newspaper, far far away, carried her birth announcement – one credit card and a conversation.
seotoro’s icky white grandparents were probably proud and placed those announcements. what grandparents wouldn’t be proud??
How is placing a birth announcement definitive proof of a birth in the USA? You can call right now and place a bogus birth announcement in a newspaper anywhere in the friggin world with a credit card. Same thing wayyyy back in ‘61. DUH

How about when Republicans regain control of the House and Senate they pass some legislation–or an amendment–requiring the verification of the qualification of presidential candidates, as is present for candidates at every other level of government? It would be interesting to see which Dems would oppose it, what their arguments would be, and whether Obama would sign it… unless they wait for a Republican president in 2012. The founders did their best… let’s clear things up so it never comes up again.
February 4th, 2010 | 1:21 pm | #60
Scott, I agree they should let the birth certificate go insofar as it has nothing to do with being a natural-born citizen as the framers intended the inherent nature of a POTUS to possess. However, he should never have been allowed to hide it. Every scrap of documentation should have been provided as it’s integral to upholding the Constitution.
These journalists and congressmen make a joke of it, but I don’t see one of them talking about all the times Congress has been seeking to rid this country of the clause stated in Article II.
We have seen just before the 2008 election, Claire McCaskill and Robert Menendez do the same thing the others have in the past with S. 2678 and when that bill failed, they went for a Senate Resolution with S.R. 511 to give clearance to both John McCain and Barack Obama as being eligible for the presidency. Now if they were already eligible without question, then there was no need whatsoever for them to be in Congress talking about how they should clear up any questions that might come up.
Now that the question does come up, all we see are them and the media, making a mockery out of the citizens who did the same exact thing — questioned their eligibility.
This is the pot calling the kettle black here and I’m getting sick of it. Now Obama gets up at a prayer breakfast no less, and makes his continuing jokes about it with the same jokers laughing in the background.
I’ve done some research myself because I can think for myself and I don’t have to point to a birth certificate. I can point right to history and find that at the time of the signing of the Constitution, Obama would not have been eligible because children followed the nationality of their fathers — partus sequitur patrem — and was written about extensively by Justice Story who was there during that timeframe and able to articulate the meaning the framers had intended when used the terminology of natural-born citizen. There is case law on this but you won’t see ONE journalist out there to speak of it because they’re afraid of being laughed at — since it’s now become the joke Obama has made it out to be.
Even some conservatives find it funny — just look at Glenn Beck — a guy who claims to know so much about his constitutional history but doesn’t know crap about the history of Article II.
And to the Supreme Court, you had your chance to investigate this when it came to you in 2008. You passed. And that’s why it came back to haunt you now when Obama just got up and slapped your faces in front of God and everyone.
Next time, I suggest you guys in those black robes do your jobs you were put there to do. You have all the resources on John Jay, Justice Story, George Washington and the others at your fingertips. There was no need for the public to go through what they did to find it.
The public just knew there was something wrong from the git-go and it started in the Senate with S. 2678 and S.R. 511 and they know it.
February 4th, 2010 | 1:43 pm | #61
The “common ground” idea and calls for civility are tactics also used by progressive Catholics who hate traditional liturgical rubrics and want to vote for pro-aborts who favor “social justice” ideas that SEEM in keeping with Catholic teaching. Those ideas were specifically put together by progressive Catholics to boost Obama to the WH. Doug Kmiec is now ambassador to Malta as his reward. Recall, Obie was tight with Catholic Alinsky-ite agendas in Chicago and claims the Bernardine “seamless garment” theories. But Obama and progressives NEVER compromise on “common ground”. They call those who care strongly about, eg, unborn babies, as being too shrill in speaking their position. We can’t call abortionists “murderers,” for example. That’s too “divisive.” Fr Z, a Catholic priest blogger had a post this last year to the effect, “No. Let’s not tone it down. We’re talking about human life” (re: abortion). We don’t back down on basic principles and rights to life and liberty.
This is how Obie uses religion and faith, with false overtures to compromise, but expecting others to compromise to his false promises which never materialize. Even Cardinal George expressed this impression of Obama after meeting with him last year. Depend on it. Obie said “I don’t quit.” On that he is not lying.

CARMELLA – I agree; if i had a grandchild born outside the country, I would put an announcement in my local paper too.
Does the U.S. Constitution stand or does it not, is the question? Obama is not eligible according to the U.S. Constitution, and Obama is fully aware of this fact considering he was a senior lecturer on the Constitution. Obama fully knows that he would be thrown out on his backside if he provided a birth certificate, which showed his father is from Kenya, a British citizenship at the time, and his mother, a U.S. citizen. As long as he provides no evidence, he feels he can ridicule those who question his eligibility and stay legitimately in office.
The time will come when people will say, “If only we had insisted Obama prove his ‘natural born’ citizenry, we could have saved ourselves from this madness.”

obama in handcuffs!! Oh what I wouldn’t give to see that!! He is taking us to hell in his Alinsky hand basket.
Now for a musical interlude:
How Do You Solve a Problem Like obowma? (Maria)
Oh, how do you stop a commie like Obamy?
How do you make his teleprompter jam?
How do you catch a Marxist like Obowmao?
A criminal guy , a charlatan, a scam?
OH, Many’s the things you know you want to tell him!
Many’s the ways you want make him pay!
But how do you make him stay
in the White House for just one day?
With his chin so tilted far above the land?
(crescendo!!)
Oh, how do we stop a problem like obeyme?
How… do… you..solve… this… curse… uponnnnn… our… land?
I turned on the Senate hearings today and there was Little Mary CryBaby Landrieu saying she didn’t vote for the HC bill because they gave her state 300,000,000 million dollars. Oh no!! Never!! Certainly not!! What a lying, two-faced, devious crook. I hope she is fired and disgraced along with the rest of the criminals.

“The time will come when people will say, “If only we had insisted Obama prove his ‘natural born’ citizenry, we could have saved ourselves from this madness.”
This sad realization that will haunt us forever is the funniest thing about the birth debate. You have millions of *conservatives* who would rather see the complete destruction of the United States than see Obama’s birth and foreign passport/citizenship records. The framers knew this exact situation would arise and they gave us the defenses to reject a fraud who would try to hijack the ship of state in order to scuttle it. Too bad we’re now a ship of fools.

Andy, when you have guys like Charles Kerchner trashing everyone he plagiarized so he could be seen as some Savior of America, you have a situation where he’s just as bad as the Beck he criticizes. He never worked politely with anyone. It was always his way or the highway. Just another Savior with another attitude is what I see.
People flock to this bozo as if he’s done any of the research he rewrites (most of the time incorrectly) and then they wonder why no one takes the situation seriously. Well he didn’t write anything original. He plagiarized it.
He’s not a constitutional lawyer. His lawyer isn’t one. This belongs in the Supreme Court being handled by people who are experts.
It comes as no surprise to me that half of the smart researchers out there who brought a lot of the work to light won’t say anything anymore since he’s taken over as “commander”. They obviously don’t want to be associated with another megalomaniac.
I recall when the college got involved and was the first to draw out the revolutionary history. He balked at that. Did he bother admitting that to anyone? Doubt it. This nutjob talks like it was him all along. It’s pathetic. It’s turned into nothing but a war of egos smart people want no part of.
The ones handling this case right now are just as bad as the ignorant media and that’s the truth. The SCOTUS probably won’t touch it knowing the incompetence behind the papers. Then again, it wouldn’t be the first court who danced around this article in the constitution. They’ve all done it.

While I’m not a body language person, I’d love for someone who is, to read his language. The shrugging of the shoulders, and the smug, clenched grin after his said, “question my citizenship.” How sad, and ignorant of those who would clap at the blatant lie to their faces. The man was born in Kenya, and the most repulsive part is, he is not a naturalized American, but Indonesian.
His father was a tribal leader, Obama was born there, he had to be because of his fathers position. He was bought to Hawaii, shortly after his birth where he recieved a COLB. They have his record from Kenya, in Hawaii. Those in the “news,” who refuse to cover this, are just as guilty as Andrew Young was for John Edward’s coverup of his affair. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know this.
He accused the Supreme Court of overturning an unconstitutional law, wronfully, he accused the Republicans of extending a fist, when he extends his hand, and he is accusing people of falsely saying he wasn’t born here. You’re a serial liar Obama. “You can fool some of the people, some of the time, but not all of the people, all of the time.” You don’t have me fooled. I think is was pretty stupid for him to even bring it up, it made him look paranoid about being caught, and drew attention to it. If I didn’t originally believe it, I would have to start questioning as to why he would have even bought it up. Birther and Patriot.

Olm #22, yeah, O’Reilly is in coverup mode. To even suggest that newspaper birth announcements are proof of anything at all is just plain ol’ stupidity. To add insult to injury, O’Reilly gave Jon Stewart a forum to blast Bush and conservatives to our faces. If O’Reilly keeps it up, he’d better hope for a deal with Comedy Central.
I saw this last night and was dumfounded when he said, “the factor proved he was eligible, there were two birth announcements in the paper in Hawaii.” Can you believe that? His father was a college student, it wouldn’t be unusual to put a birth announcement in the Hawaii paper. I don’t think that can be used as proof as birthplace in this country, can it?
February 4th, 2010 | 4:31 pm | #70
O’Reilly said that? LOL
I suppose the Federalist Papers would be a foreign subject to him.
It’s truly sad the ignorance of history that’s not being taught and unfortunately, the knowledge of it will disappear completely within another generation.
The fact is Obama is in and there’s no one that’s going to take him out. You can’t even get a court to uphold the constitution as it is on the simplest matters, you’re not going to get them to take this on, because most of what you have on the bench, hates the constitution.
All you can do to fix it, is vote all of them out and demand who you put in to fix the courts and the educational system. That should be our goal. Obama would love nothing more than to see everyone talking about his birthplace, because it will take your time away from getting things fixed.
What’s done is done. Now it’s time to fix it and it starts by getting rid of Obama and his progressive ilk.

OReilly even showed the newspaper birth announcements, I believe. I had to leave the room.

Nathan R. Jessup,
Yes, I saw that. BO said “corpse-man” twice.
Maybe he thought he was talking about ACORN registered voters.
Not to worry though. He is our smartest president EVAH!

The above analysis is correct:
The courts and media are going to play Obama’s game and just as what you saw happen with Obama lambasting the Supreme Court (for doing their job), you’re going to see him do to them.
They believe if they play nice and shut up like the lemmings they are, Obama will leave them alone.
Good luck with that. This is only the beginning. It’s only the first year. Obama has plans for all of you, including MSLSD. He’s a calculating, play-to-win, poker player. Just ask his Senator card buddies. He’s playing against all of you. He’s about as transparent as a black hole and you’re all going to get sucked right into it, especially those who thought they were immune.
He wants you to focus back on his birth certificate. That’s why he brought it up. He knows nothing is going to come of it and he can go on as planned making you look stupid.

naturalborn, Mr. Charlton in the article you cited is exactly correct:
“Mr. Charlton replies: As a point of fact, Emmerich de Vattle, in his treatise, “The Law of Nations,” states that a child born of a soldier abroad in the service of his country, is a natural born citizen of his country. On that basis, McCain would be a natural born citizen; however, constitutionally, it would have probably taken a Supreme Court ruling for McCain to have succesffuly defended a challenge against his claim to be such, if he made such a claim; that is, without the Senate Resolution, which was a political conspiracy right out in the open.
Vattel was originally found by Paul Madison of the Federal Blog – http://federalistblog.us/2008/11/natural-born_citizen_defined.html
That piece was written in probable response to a lawsuit brought forth by Leo Donofrio, Esq.; a blog that had a wealth of information and was since taken down due to being maliciously aligned and ruthlessly plagiarized as well.
Then another blog picked up the story and dug into the congressional records, finding exactly what Charlton describes as a “conspiracy right out in the open”. That 2008 blog post is found here: http://zapem.wordpress.com/2009/01/11/obama-knew-he-wasnt-eligible-for-potus/
Then the colleges contacted them and historically showed via Donofrio’s blog that McCain probably would have been eligible prior to the Naturalization Acts per the Constitution and began to write a historical recap here after extensive communication with Donofrio and from what I understand, some hefty historians: http://undeadrevolution.wordpress.com/
Then suddenly Donofrio’s blog went dark and the latter blogs discontinued printing their findings. A quick read of the comment section reveals the frustration and discontent in the manner it was used for.
I also gather that they feel the time is not right to reveal the rest, especially by putting it in the incompetent hands they are snatching it up. It will have to wait until just prior to the next election, where the public can read the proof themselves and judge accordingly, at the ballot box, and think about election officials who will finally put the Constitution back on the honored shelf it deserves. Because by then, they may just understand that it deserves that place of honor. But I doubt they will ever understand how much until their own generation suffers and must take their own stand for liberty. Only then will they ever understand what the Constitution really means and how the founding fathers were right.
We won’t make it right until we ourselves appreciate the value of the parchment it was written on. Unfortunately some in this generation would rather learn it the hard way while they’re foolishly being promised handouts. But it will come full circle again.
Thanks for the article. Seems someone else out there has been reading.
February 4th, 2010 | 7:49 pm | #78
And please Obama, keep bringing up that birth certificate so people may read the congressional record themselves and see firsthand how it’s Claire McCaskill, Robert Menendez, John McCain, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Patrick Leahy that attempted to usurp the Constitution directly and at the very least, need to be voted out next. Because they can’t be trusted and have NO respect for the Constitution of this country!
You didn’t know that, did you Sarah Palin? I suggest you get with the program, because your endorsement of McCain is going to the nail in your political coffin. Mark my words. You’re a sweet lady, but you’re very, very naive.

Thanks for posting the article from Post & Email..I’ve never been into birther thing, but POTUS’ thin-skinned comments today in such an odd forum, were peculiar, even for him.
In addition to confirming that the issue of POTUS’ as ‘natural-born American citizen’ is non-settled as a matter of law & statute, it also raises the question as to how individual States will proceed regarding the placing of Obama’s name on the ballot for POTUS if his citizenship remains uncertified by means of law & statute and merely corroborated by the HI DOH’s claim… the Democrat’s mojo on birther issue for election fodder lost steam with AG’s claim of conflict of interest… election implications are even more interesting.

You are the instruments that God is going

And that is why Barack has captured the youth.
And he has involved young people in a political
process that they didn’t care anything about.
That’s a sign.
When The Messiah speaks, the youth will hear.
And The Messiah is absolutely speaking

He did pray to Allah to destroy all the infidels, and maybe some others did too. I do not trust Barry Soetoro, Steve Dunham, Barack Obama, the only nation with a president with 3 legal names, now show us the rest of your past. But he won’t, he is ashamed as does not really know who his Mom or Dad is really God Bless America forever!
