If this is the law of the land...why in a republic (little r) and as republicans, do we allow mere POLITICIANS to the right to use a "title of office" for the rest of their lives as if it were de facto a patent of nobility. Because, as republicans, this should NOT be the case...just saying...

More Fuel For the "Birther" Fire?

Obama's literary agent published a booklet that clearly states that he was born in Kenya...



This is going to be a huge issue.  After all, I did post these photographs of Kenyan documents.

 Then there's this:

and,

and another,


and of course this,


At the time, these were written off as not being  important.  But, if you take the revelation from his literary agent...then Mr. Obama doesn't meet the constitutional requirements to be president.

I'm not a birther, but I think that the MSM has cast a blind eye on Mr. Obama's background.  They utterly failed to vet him, and are still ignoring many of the glaring issues of his past.  These are certainly questions that must be looked into...

Obama's Political Career Launch

On October 15, 2011, Bill Ayres admits that Obama's political career was launched with a fund raiser at his house. If you remember, on October 15, 2008, Robert Gibbs following a debate with John McCain, catagorically denied to Chris Matthews during the "spin room" after debate that this event occured.


 


Who is lying? Bill Ayres? Or Robert Gibbs. Why would Ayres lie about something like this? When you take all of the other questionable associations of this president...ones that the MSM refused to cover, it begins to boggle the mind. When is the media going to do their job? They've already begun smearing every single GOP candidate, from Michelle Bachman to Mitt Romney (I'd link, but a simple google serach will give you far more info than I ever could)...that the MSM shows just how deeply in the tank for Obama they are, after all, they refused to cover his pastor of 20 years' inflamatory statements, even though Obama was clearly influenced.

JounoList = SociaList

You can find an excellent breakdown of 106 members of the JournoList and their professional and political affiliations here.  With the passage of time, it's becoming more and more obvious that JournoList was more than just a place "progressives" could go for like minded conversations.  It was a place for the "unofficial campaign" to control the media message for Barack Obama to congregate and plan strategy for the 2008 election camapaign.    Since then, it had been used as a clearing house for talking points and plotting strategy for the Obama Agenda.

Obama's "Non-Official" Campaign...

In 2008, any one who wasn't a raving Obama supporter had some serious misgivings about the white wash coverage given to his campaign and his one sheet resume (he only  had 4 jobs prior to running for president).  Non, via the Daily Caller we're getting an insider's view of how the media was an active participant in his campaign.

Following the section of John McCain of then sitting  Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin as his running mate, there was a very serious discussion on JournoList on how to discredit her.  Michael Cohen of New America Foundation wanted to use the line that a one-term governor wasn't qualified to be president.  Jonathan Stein, of Mother Earth News retorted that the GOP would point to Mr. Obama's even thinner resume.  But the big money quote is where several member's referred to themselves as the "non-official campaign." 
Daniel Levy of the Century Foundation noted that Obama’s “non-official campaign” would need to work hard to discredit Palin. “This seems to me like an occasion when the non-official campaign has a big role to play in defining Palin, shaping the terms of the conversation and saying things that the official [Obama] campaign shouldn’t say – very hard-hitting stuff, including some of the things that people have been noting here – scare people about having this woefully inexperienced, no foreign policy/national security/right-wing christia wing-nut a heartbeat away …… bang away at McCain’s age making this unusually significant …. I think people should be replicating some of the not-so-pleasant viral email campaigns that were used against [Obama].”
Unfortunately for America, many journalists have continued this propagandistic line of attack upon Mr. Obama's opponents.  First and foremost, the members of JournoList have used the "racist" epithet on Mr. Obama's opponents...to the point where it's no longer a powerful tool of the left.  When you so label broad swaths of the electorate (see pretty much any poll of the past 6 months wherein Mr. Obama's favorable ratting has sunk below 50%), those people tend to get very very angry.  This will hurt the Democratic party dearly in this November's elections...but don't underestimate the ability of the GOP to FUBAR things up...

Some Troubling Questions...

I'm not a birther...but the following raises some very troubling questions that have yet to be answered.



The following is a copy of his elementary school registration. 


I has been alleged  that he registered at Occidental College in California as a foreign exchange student...

I'm not a birther by any stretch of anyone's imagination, but I do have to admit that I'm a little troubled by the allegations in the video.  I do believe that Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii.  On the other hand if he was adopted in Indonesia, and took an Indonesian passport, then later traveled to Pakistan on that passport...as has been alleged, as well as lying on his Illinois about not having used an alias...

As I said some very troubling questions.  I think that if the elite media had done their job of properly vetting Mr. Obama, rather than being dazzled by helping to elect the first black American as president...then he'd never have made it past the primaries...then again, neither would John Edwards!
