How obscure, today is Friday the 13th, 2009.  A day of superstition that bad luck may befall you.  Wiki has all sorts of stuff on the day at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_the_13th

The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskevidekatriaphobia, a word derived from the Greek words Paraskeví (Παρασκευή), meaning Friday, and dekatreís (δεκατρείς), meaning thirteen, attached to phobía (φοβία). writes http://mistermonopoly.blogspot.com/2009/11/friday-13th-links-paraskevidekatriaphob.html 

Turning to politics, White House Counsel Greg Craig will resign later today and will be replaced by Robert Bauer, campaign counsel, ethics expert, husband of Anita Dunn reports George Stephanopoulis via Twitter. http://twitter.com/GStephanopoulos

Bauer is Chair of the Political Law Group of Perkins Coie LLP.  He served as the Obama campaign’s general counsel and became the President’s private lawyer after the election. He is married to Anita Dunn, Obama’s outgoing — and exiting — communications director. http://politics.theatlantic.com/2009/11/white_house_counsel_gregory_craig_1.php

Bauer book on campaign reform can be found via  http://www.amazon.com/More-Soft-Money-Hard-Law/dp/1879650096#noop writes at the blog http://www.moresoftmoneyhardlaw.com/ to give you an insight on his thoughts.

Our thought is that Bauer is tired of defending Obama from the birthers and tea baggers.  Perhaps President Obama doesn’t want to jinx himself by naming his new personal legal council on Friday the 13th.

A poster featuring President Barack Obama portrayed as Heath Ledger’s famous Joker are surfacing in the  Los Angeles with “socialism”  beneath him.

The Obama Joker poster is showing up on off-ramps and underpasses in Hollywood, California. Whomever made and distributed copies of the poster has chosen so far to remain anonymous.  Due props to the mysterious man or woman.

While the hell fire of politicians spread anger, disgust and solutions on everything from health care, Swine Flu and disputing the Obama Kenyan birth certificate, the beat goes on in Nancy Pelosi territory and all of America. 

Who is John Galt?

Who is Barack Hussein Obama?

A joker in disguise?

From birthers to plain old Americans who still believe in the Constitution of The United States of America that says that a president must be a natural born citizen, it sure would be nice to know the truth about President Obama’s birth certificate records.

Now comes the emergence of a Kenyan birth certificate from Orly Taitz. 

HuffPost has disputes its authenticity as does Karl Rove, saying:

• Kenya was a Dominion the date this certificate was allegedly issued and would not become a republic for 8 months.
• Mombasa belonged to Zanzibar when Obama was born, not Kenya.
• Obama’s father’s village would be nearer to Nairobi, not Mombasa.
• The number 47O44– 47 is Obama’s age when he became president, followed by the letter O (not a zero) followed by 44–he is the 44th president.

Hawaii issued another statement last week claiming that they have President Obama’s authenticated copy- alas no original as they made the switch to electronic documents years ago.

The once Indonesian Muslim boy named Barry Soetoro, now know as President Obama- the 5oth President of The United States of America, continues to haunt concerned citizens and the State of Hawaii with his birth certificate status.

Dr. Chiyome Fukino, Secretary of Health for the State of Hawaii, issued another public statement on the issue of the validity of the Certification of Live Birth the Hawaii Department of Health issued to President Obama in 2007, hoping to stem a recent surge in the number of inquiries about Obama’s birthplace.

“I … have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawaii State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen,” Health Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said in a brief statement. “I have nothing further to add to this statement or my original statement issued in October 2008 over eight months ago.”http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090728/ap_on_re_us/us_obama_birth_certificate

Rush Limbaugh, CNN’s Lou Dobbs and a lot of birther blogs haven’t put the issue to rest, nor should they. The release of the statement offers no new information, only a continuance of failed transparency in government.

“Going forward, anytime the American people want to know something that I or a former president wants to withhold, we will have to consult with the Attorney General and the white house counsel, whose business it is to ensure compliance with the rule of law. Information will not be withheld just because I say so; it will be withheld because a separate authority believes my request is well-grounded in the Constitution. Let me say it as simply as I can: transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency,“http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/news/2009/01/remarks_by_the_president_welcoming_senior_staff_an.php

What separate authority believes the electors don’t have the right of proof of a birth certificate in that our President meets the qualifications?  Take a guess…

NWO, IMF, WB,Illuminati, DNC, Rothschild ????? So much for complying with the law of the natural born citizen clause eh, Mr. President?

President Obama's alleged birth certificate

Did the state of Hawaii, factcheck and the Annenberg Foundation just have a big old luau, roast a pig on birth certificate records- including President Obama’s, for the entire state and the voter wasn’t invited?

Lou Dobbs of CNN did a story (6/23/09) on a topic that some of us by now have reasonably asked ourselves- where is Obama’s Birth Certificate to prove his validity as natural born citizen? In questioning the so-called birthers, the shit hit the fan as CNN’s president as Jon Klein President of CNN allegedly said in an email-

“It seems this story is dead- because anyone who still is not convinced doesn’t really have a legitimate beef.” Klein asked CNN researchers to dig into the question of why Obama couldn’t produce the original birth certificate. The researchers contacted the Hawaii Health Dept. and confirmed that paper documents were discarded in 2001 when the department went paperless. That reportedly includes Pres. Obama’s original birth certificate. http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/cnn/jon_klein_on_birthers_it_seems_this_story_is_dead_122546.asp#more

If the story were dead, why did the President of a major media outlet request the research in the first place?  Is Klein letting Dobbs be the fall guy?  Dobbs has expressed his personal belief that Obama was born in Hawaii.

I disagree with Klein in that I as an American citizen do, and am quite entitled to have a legitimate beef with a man as a sitting president who will not, or can not, and definitely has not provided proof- beyond any reasonable doubt that he is Constitutionally qualified to hold the office.

The center of attention is of course President Obama’s birth certificate, but what about his other records that he has failed to release to the public?  A full list of missing or now classified documents that he refuses to release are at  http://rightsoup.com/list-of-records-obama-refuses-to-release/.

Last year Hawaii released an official statement from the director of health Dr. Chiyome Fukino that she has seen Obama’s birth certificate and it exsits- circumventing State law (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes §338-18) which prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record. 

As the world turn, Dobbs said on his show July 23, 2009 that the state of Hawaii discarded Obama’s paper birth certificate eight years ago. So what the hell did the Hawaii Health Department officials see and what exactly did they mean to say in their news release of October 31, 2008?  A copy of the release is athttp://citizenwells.wordpress.com/2009/07/24/hawaii-discarded-obama-birth-certificate-lou-dobbs-cnn-july-23-2009-dobbs-wants-obama-to-produce-birth-certificate/. 

If all birth certificates were converted to electronic versions then what document is factcheck http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/born_in_the_usa.html  showing us, claiming that it has seen Obama’s birth certificate- raised seal and all?  Um, remember they are funded by the Annenberg Foundation I recall- http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/07/obama.ayers/–

The project’s organizing committee asked Obama to serve as the board chairman in 1995.  Annenberg Project Executive Director Ken Rollings said Ayers was not a member of that ad hoc group when the decision was made.  For seven years, Ayers and Obama — among many others — worked on funding for education projects, including some projects advocated by Ayers.

Why can you still request a printed copy of  a birth certificate from Hawaii if all records are now electronic?   http://hawaii.gov/health/vital-records/pdf/birth.pdf

This is nothing new to birthers, it just got the attention of a few more folks who just got cable TV due to the switch from analog to digital. 

Score one for CNN.

Where’s the birth certificate?  Locked away like his health records and college transcripts, President Obama’s birth certificate remains as elusive as knowing the winning Power Ball Lottery winning Numbers in advance.  In fact we have a better chance at getting struck by lightening, but the issue of his citizenship will not go away- nor should it.

Last week  House press secretary Robert Gibbs said that he was incredulous.”I am incredulous that the issue just won’t go away. This question, in many ways, continues to astound me. The state of Hawaii provided a copy, with a seal, of the president’s birth… I certainly hope, by the fourth year of our administration, that we’ll have dealt with this burgeoning birth controversy.”  The administration has dealt with it by paying huge legal fees to keep his records private.

Gibbs is astounded?  Hey jackass, it is millions of American’s who are astounded that our Constitution remains in jeopardy with the possibility that we are being led by a foreigner that may be ineligible.  Required by Article II Section 1 of the Constitution states, “No person except a natural-born citizen…shall be eligible to the Office of the President.”

Incredulously, Obama himself could have put an end to the lawsuits that began with Berg vs Obama, but the court proceedings linger on.  Why spend the money to defend your right to keep your sealed, certified birth certificate a secret unless there is something to hide?

Interestingly, there is a bill pending to require that all future  presidential candidates be required to show proof of eligibility before being placed on the ballot. Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla., filed H.R. 1503, an amendment to the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971. Virginia Republican Bob Goodlatte has signed on as a co-sponsor. 

“H.R.1503 Title: To amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to require the principal campaign committee of a candidate for election to the office of President to include with the committee’s statement of organization a copy of the candidate’s birth certificate, together with such other documentation as may be necessary to establish that the candidate meets the qualifications for eligibility to the Office of President under the Constitution.
Sponsor: Rep Posey, Bill [FL-15] (introduced 3/12/2009)      Cosponsors (1) Status: Referred to the House Committee on House Administration.  ”

It appears the bill has been stalled with no action taken in more than two months.   http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/thomas.  Funny how our government under Obama can authorize the spending of billions for bailouts and buy General Motors and turn in into Government Motors- negating capitalism and open market principles in the process, but can not seem to pass a little bill that reinforces a candidates eligibility.   No matter who Obama’s grandparents are, I sincerely doubt that Obama would be grandfathered in- requiring him to prove unequivocally that he is qualified. 

Family Security Matters hasn’t gone away either.  In a letter to Rupert Murdoch of Fox News, “Revelation of this massive collapse of the fundamentals of the electoral process (ensuring candidate eligibility) at this point would make some very important people look hopelessly incompetent and inept.” http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.3320/pub_detail.asp   Say nothing of the 53% of voters who elected him.

Andy Martin said, “Secrecy laws were intended to protect the privacy of private citizens, not presidents.”  Martin filed an appeal May 27, 2009  to the court against Linda Lingle, in her official Capacity as Governor filing in Hawaii Courts again asking to see Obama’s birth certificate and citing numerous errors in the proceedings. http://www.pr-inside.com/obama-birth-certificate-brief-filed-in-r1278274.htm. The state said they “have the original document” on file.

The http://www.800poundgorillamedia.com/The_Evidence.html has a nice roundup on current happenings from Orly Taitz to Alan Keyes with some interesting videos. 

Our neighbors to the North at Canada Free Press said, “ Once again, I find myself forced to ask, “Now have we seen enough?”  On several occasions I have asked, what is it going to take for average Americans to wake up and stand up? And once again, I must point out that whatever it is, it hasn’t happened yet! Maybe Government Motors is the last straw. Maybe putting Republican leaning Chrysler dealerships out of business will do the trick. Maybe sicking FBI and Secret Service agents on decent concerned citizens who happen to disagree with Obama’s version of Marxism will get people fired up…Whatever it is, it had better happen soon, because Obamanation is fast turning the beacon of freedom around the world into just another broken banana republic. ” http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/11456

Innocent until proven guilty, eligible until proven not. 

A sign of the times, indeed.

Corrigan Brothers official musical video celebrating Obama’s Irish Heritage.

Obama has been Kenyan, American, Indonesian, Muslim, Christian, etc., so why not Irish?

Presidential Candidate Alan Keyes’ lawsuit filed in The Republic of California seeking Obama’s eligibility as a natural born citizen, has been dismissed and so was a lawsuit brought by two Indiana men seeking to invalidate Indiana’s election results based on President Barack Obama’s citizenship status.

The entire question of citizenship needs to go away by Obama himself, providing the documentation.  What a disgrace for America to have lawsuits being brought all the way to the Supreme Court against our sitting President.   A complete list of lawsuits can be found at http://www.therightsideoflife.com/?page_id=1518 

The Judge in the case Hollister v Soetero delivered a scathing ruling in which he gave the lead counsel John D. Hemenway, 11 days to respond as to why he should not be sanctioned.  Native Born Citizen provides this gem, “Example: It suggests that the intellectual capacity of this Court focused on the issues in the instant suit at a very low level, perhaps for political purposes, such as to win attention from the highest authority when a seat on the Supreme Court of the United States becomes vacant.”  http://nativeborncitizen.wordpress.com/

Intellectual capacity?  Attention from the highest court?  Is there not one court or judge in all the land that has enough intellectual capacity to provide the legal means of requiring Obama to provide in a court of law, his authentic birth certificate?  Is there not one attorney who can find a way to prove they have standing in the courts?  What a disgrace by all accounts, but mostly by our President Obama.  Obama has never been legally required to provide a birth certificate to the courts, but he should have the highest moral obligation to provide it to the American people. 

On St. Patrick’s day I suppose everyone is a wee bit Irish.  Hat’s off to ya President Obama, but we hope the luck of the Irish brings him in front of the the court to provide his birth certificate, and soon. 

May God Bless America and especially today, The Irish!

Along the campaign trail, when introducing Senator Joe Biden as his new running mate, Barack Obama slipped and almost declared the Senator from Delaware as the next Commander-in-Chief:

“Let me introduce to you the next President — the next Vice President of the United States of America, Joe Biden.”  http://features.csmonitor.com/politics/2008/08/23/barack-america-and-president-biden-ooops/

When Senator Biden got on stage he upped the ante declaring Barack Obama to be, not just the next President, but the next Super Hero.”A man I’m proud to call my friend.  A man who will be the next President of the United States — Barack America!”

Mr. Barack Hussein Obama had it right after all, as Joe Biden was the 44th President of the United States of America at noon on Inauguration Day, January 20, 2009 and through January 21, 2009 until 7:35 pm, when Obama re-took the Oath of Office.

Article 2 of  The Constitution-if the President-elect shall have failed to qualify, or alternatively  if the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term, being 12:00 Noon which ability and/or qualification includes that he take the Article 2 Oath “before he enter on the execution of his office,” then either the Presidency shall devolve on the Vice President under Article 2 or the Vice President shall act as President under the 20th Amendment.  http://www.constitution.org/constit_.htm 

Vice President Joe Biden already took his Oath of Office before Obama completed his oath at approximately 12:05 PM.  To top it all off , we are well aware of the flub in reciting the Oath by Justice Roberts.  The misspeak was a huge flub which led some to question the authority of Obama’s Presidency from the first moments. 

As commentator Ted has pointed out, “This is significant because at such time that the Supreme Court finally rules on the merits on Obama’s disqualification as not being an Article 2 “natural born citizen” (clearly he is NOT), [emphasis is Ted's] Biden’s automatic status (without needing to take a separate Presidential Oath) of being President would be predicated upon four different bases: First, having been Vice President under Article 2; second, having been Vice President-elect under the 20th Amendment; third, having been actual President in the hiatus before Obama took the ‘oath(s)’; and fourth, retroactively deemed President during the full period of the Obama usurpation so that the acts of the Federal Government under the usurpation can be deemed authorized and/or ratified by Biden’s legitimacy.”

Holy Batman, would Hillary Clinton or Nancy Pelosi fill in as Vice President?  By law, I think Nancy Pelosi, but it would be a good cat fight.  Poor Joe Biden. 

All for naught.  Obama re-swore The Presidential Oath given by Justice Roberts a day later, and this time correctly- putting away any constitutional doubters.  They did this out of “ an abundance of caution.”

The only doubt remaining,  is Obama qualified under the the natural born citizen clause of The Constitution?  If Obama is not, Biden could be, on a technicality the 44th, 45th and 46th President, without even running a campaign. 

Hail to the Chiefs.

In an apparent attempt to actually enforce The Constitution, The Drudge Report is reporting that Justice Roberts re-administered the Oath of Office AGAIN to Obama in the map room of the White House.   http://www.drudgereport.com/flashoaa.htm

The original text of the swearing in of Senator- errr, president Obama can be found here at http://blogs.abcnews.com/theworldnewser/2009/01/the-inuagural-o.html

They did this out of “ an abundance of caution.”

Well golly gee, and thanks a million for upholding The Constitution.  Now- in our transparent government phase, Mr. President Obama, Sir-would you kindly provide proof that you are a natural born citizen and meet those qualifications of  The Constitution as well?

Mr. Berg may be able to assist you, as well as Justice Roberts with whom you have litigation pending in front of him at The Supreme Court.

Close enough, but no cigar with regards to President Obama taking the Oath of Office as the 44th President.

The Constitution requires:  “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”   The Constitution requires that he is a natural born citizen as well, but the jury is still out on that one .

With less than five minutes into Obama’s Presidency, the first flub of the Constitution began with Chief Justice John Roberts saying the oath incorrectly.  Obama caught it and gave Roberts a moment to recover but still did not do it right.

The oath includes the phrase “That I will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States” but Roberts didn’t say “faithfully” until after saying “president of the United States.”  http://www.nypost.com/seven/01202009/news/politics/roberts_flubs_swearing_in_oath_151047.htm

They are simple words and yet on this most historic of days, already our Constitution is thrown side for a statement that is close enough.  I thought close enough only counted in the game of horse-shoes.  

“I, Barack Hussein Obama,” totally jumped the gun and cut off Chief Justice Roberts before he had completed the line.  It didn’t help when he called Obama as “Senator”.   When the noon is passed, the President-elect automatically becomes President without taking oath.   Calling him Senator was only the first mistake.

See the video of the swearing in of Obama at- http://blog.coincidencetheories.com/?p=962 .  The text can be found at http://blogs.abcnews.com/theworldnewser/2009/01/the-inuagural-o.html  

In post news analysis, Fox News noted that Obama may have not completed the oath as required by the Constitution but more than likely, Justice Roberts would throw out any case against him.  I can’t wait to hear what Rush Limbaugh has to say since last weeks commentary, “”I’ve been listening to Barack Obama for a year-and-a-half. I know what his politics are. I know what his plans are, as he has stated them. I don’t want them to succeed,” he said. http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hxpMXOB6U__wIxx8Cub3uWAR6kPg 

Obama and Roberts are, after all, becoming close associates, only last week Obama got a tour of the Supreme Court in a closed session.  Lingering court cases regarding Obama’s citizenship have been shuffling around the Supreme Court for months.  All have been denied or denied without judgment, so far.   http://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2009/01/14/obama-meets-with-supreme-court-justices/  I find it an insult to justice and pretty stinking crappy that a judge would meet behind closed door with a defendant in a lawsuit- even if that man would be Obama.

Wasting no time,  http://www.whitehouse.gov/ the White House’s main web page is all Obama.  http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/georgewbush/ President George Bush has been relegated to the list of  previous presidents.  From the site, “The Bush family also includes two dogs, Barney and Miss Beazley, and a cat, Willie.”  Surely it must have pissed of President William Clinton, aka Slick Willie, to have had a cat named after him living in the White House.

The amusing footnote in history is noted, let’s  move on.

Since the Main Street Media is so stuck on the fact that a black man has been elected and sworn in at President, I thought I’d take a moment to remind readers that President Barack Hussein Obama, is half white.   Whatever his skin color, I pray he leads us toward safety and prosperity, preferably without our having to pay more taxes and redistributing what little bit of wealth we have left.

God Bless America
