As much as Obama supporters or the US citizen ignorant of the “NBC” definition want to bury their heads in the sand … that pesky little issue of “natural born citizenship” WILL NOT GO AWAY.

Nor will it until it finally creeps its way into the Supreme Court for settlement.

For anyone willing to take the time to look into the congressional records of THAT TIME it is clear that “natural born citizen” is clearly defined as a child born IN THE US of PARENTS who are citizens thereof.

That very simple “term definition” from John Bingham (author of the 14th ammendment) found in … 39th Congress Senate and House Debates (December 4, 1865 to July 28, 1866) PP Page 961 of 1920 Page 1291.
Image of that page can be seen HERE.

That says: “[I] find no fault with the introductory clause [S 61 Bill], which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of PARENTS not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen…. . . ”

Anyone looking at that definition WITHOUT BIAS understands it to mean BORN IN THE USA OF TWO (2) CITIZEN PARENTS.

Now it can be argued until the cows come home IF, IF, IF or WHY, MAYBE? … and has been already.
Frankly I do not care who influenced who, how they arrived at or who just plucked the term out of the air.
I only care that they did and it was recorded in simple ENGLISH TEXT for those who can still understand BASIC ENGLISH.

I have yet to find any argument cropping up in Congressional records (for that period) which argues or redefines that specific term “natural born citizen”.

The movement being launched to keep Barack Obama off the official state ballots in election 2012 has began.
Rightfully Judge Michael Malihi has taken up the case, refused the Obama quash requests and ordered him to appear.

The door has now been cracked.
This hearing is a BIG DEAL!
WHY?

It was the first time that a court has accepted arguments on the merits of the controversy over Obama’s status. Obama never met the constitutional requirements to occupy the Oval Office, and the states and Congress failed in their obligations to make sure only a qualified president is inaugurated. His supporters, meanwhile, argue he won the 2008 election and therefore was “vetted” by America.

WHAT A SURPRISE! Obama and his lawyer did not show up.
So now what?
Well the hearing went on without him.
Blow by blow results are below:

By Sharon Rondeau
The Post & Email (site is under maintenance at time of publishing; see The Post & Email for further details on this and other Obama eligibility cases, documentation, and history)

(Jan. 26, 2012) — The court convened at approximately 9:30 a.m. Judge Michael Malihi began by asking those present to stand and reading the last paragraph of Atty. Michael Jablonski’s letter to Brian Kemp, Georgia Secretary of State, “into the record,” commenting that Jablonski was not present at the hearing.

The judge called plaintiff David Welden to stand and asked where he resided and if he were a registered voter in the state of Georgia. Then his attorney, Van Irion, stood and stated that there were three types of citizenship in the United States. He then provided argument on the definition of “natural born Citizen,” referring to Minor v. Happersett.

“The court should recognize that the term ‘citizen” is not ‘natural born Citizen,’ Irion said. “The Minor court’s definition of ‘natural born Citizen’ says ‘parents.’

“In closing, this case is about the Constitution,” Irion said. We’ve shown that Barack Obama’s father was never a citizen…and that means he is not constitutionally qualified…Finally, the defendant was ordered to be here, and I wish to state on the record that that shows not just a contempt for this court…”

Then Irion was interrupted and stopped speaking.

9:54 a.m.: Atty. J. Mark Hatfield stood and stating that he represents Kevin Richard Powell and Carl Swensson. Hatfield mentioned the White House schedule as he saw that it related to Obama’s lack of attendance at the hearing.

Carl Swensson was sworn in at 9:56 a.m. and stated his residence and county. Then Kevin Powell was asked the same. Both were asked if they were able to vote for President of the United States.

Swensson and Powell explained their challenges filed with the Secretary of State’s office to the judge.

Hatfield held up the Certification of Nomination which Nancy Pelosi signed in 2008 to place Obama’s name on the ballot. The judge asked if it was a “certified copy,” and Hatfield answered that it was. He then read from it, stating that it did not affirm that the candidates met constitutional requirements to serve, while the wording from the Republican National Committee for its candidates did contain that wording.

The judge asked if the documents were from a “United States government source,” and Hatfield answered “Yes, sir, they were.”

Hatfield cited Jablonski’s January 25 letter “indicating that they did not want the proceedings to go forward and did not want to participate.” Hatfield also entered into evidence Obama’s book, Dreams From My Father.

Ken Allen, a resident of Arizona, stood to present the documentation he had received from the State Department after submitting a FOIA request early in 2009, which The Post & Email reported on here. He stated that “Barack Obama Sr.” was “never a citizen.”

At 10:09 a.m. someone said, “Let’s take a short break,” and people stood up and began moving around and talking with one another.

At 10:17 a.m., the court was called back in to order.

Atty. Orly Taitz was called upon to speak. The Georgia registered voter whom she represents, David Farrar, stood and identified himself.

Taitz utilized a projector on the wall to the right of the judge as an aid in her presentation. She then stated that evidence existed that Obama possessed Indonesian citizenship, to which the judge was heard by this writer to say, “That’s not relevant.” Taitz then discussed the court’s decision in Minor v. Happersett and was interrupted by the judge, who said, “Counselor, can you save your argument for the closing?” She then stopped speaking.

Mr. Christopher Strunk of New York then went up to the front of the courtroom to testify, and Taitz began to ask him questions about the passport records of Stanley Ann Dunham, one of which contains the name “Soebarkah.” Strunk stated, “She wanted that expunged from her record, but we never got that.”

Susan Daniels, Private Investigator from Ohio, then took the stand, and spoke about her investigation which revealed that Obama had reportedly been using a social security number which she contended had not been assigned to him.

Taitz asked Daniels, “What was the social security number attached to your request?” and Daniels read off “042-68-4425.” Daniels said, “In all my years, I’ve never seen anything like this.” She stated that the person who had originally owned the number had been born in 1890.

“First I ran the social security number to check the address, and the same number came up for him in Massachusetts, Illinois, and Washington, DC. It showed a phone number, and it was always the same number…It would show intermittently ‘August 4, 1961′ and ’1890.’” Daniels stated that she obtained information “directly from the Social Security Administration.”

At 10:30 Mr. Chito Papa took the stand. He stated that he works in the field of Information Technology including Adobe® software.

Taitz asked Papa if the “birth certificate” which “Obama posted online” had flattened layers. ”Did you see one layer or multiple layers? Taitz asked. ”I saw multiple layers,” he answered.

Taitz asked Papa about Obama’s social security number which appeared on his tax return posted on the internet, and Papa stated that the layers had not been flattened. Taitz then thanked Papa for his testimony.

At 10:36 a.m. another witness, Linda Jordan, was called to the stand. Taitz adjusted her Powerpoint presentation by means of a laptop computer and began by asking a question about “E-Verify,” the U.S. government’s system for flagging potential illegal immigrants from working. Jordan stated that she ran Obama’s number through the E-Verify system and said, “When I read it, it was 2011, and it could not verify it. It came back.”

At 10:39 a.m., Douglas Vogt took the stand. Vogt stated that he owns a typesetting company and has been “in the business for 18 years now.”

Taitz asked Vogt if he examined the birth certificate which was posted online, and he said, “Yes, I did.” He stated that “sloping lines” would not be seen if the image had been made from a paper document.

Taitz asked, “Would you expect to see a clear embossed seal on the document?” and Vogt answered, “Yes, I would.” However, he stated that such was not present on Obama’s birth certificate. Regarding the number of Obama’s purported birth record, Vogt stated that “federal regs” require that “all birth certificate numbers have to be sequential, starting on January 1.”

At 10:49, witness John Sampson took the stand. He stated that he has a background in criminal justice, served as a police officer in New York City and worked as an immigration inspector. His background includes working for the INS in the area of “immigration fraud” and he was also a deportation officer. He stated that he has testified in front of “federal grand juries.” He stated that he started his own consulting firm in 2009 and has been self-employed since then.

Taitz asked Sampson about Obama’s social security number, and Sampson said that he “ran” the number 042-68-4425 and that it was assigned to Obama since 1977.

Taitz asked if Sampson had examined the birth certificate, and he said, “Yes.” He raised the issue of the Nordyke twins’ birth certificate, whose numbers were lower than Obama’s even though their birth occurred a day later. He stated that the registrar’s name was different than that on the Nordyke twins’ documents and that it was unlikely that the registrar would have been different in the “same hospital” regarding births one day apart.

Sampson recommended further investigation, including subpoenas and court orders, to obtain more information on the number “042-68-4425.”

Sampson mentioned that Obama has also been known as “Barry Soetoro.”

Taitz asked what Sampson thought needed to be done regarding the questions about Obama’s background, and he recommended asking for an official copy of the SS-5 for his social security number application and the Hawaii Department of Health to see “if he was born in Hawaii.” Sampson stated that an investigation would be “a criminal investigation” through a U.S. attorney’s office. He said that if a person has been found to be impersonating a U.S. citizen, he would be subject to “deportation.”

Shortly thereafter, Sampson’s testimony ended, and Taitz began discussing Obama’s alleged years in Indonesia from 1968-71, during which he was known as “Barry Soetoro.”

“We have another boy who from 1968-69 was in Hawaii,” she said. The judge then said, “Are you testifying? Do you know how?” which brought laughter from the assembly. The judge then said she could discuss the matter during closing arguments. Taitz responded, “I would like to testify,” after which she took the stand.

Taitz stated that “Mr. Obama has resigned from the bar.” The judge asked, “How is that relevant?” Taitz said that it was pertinent because Obama was “hiding his identity.”

“I’m going to ask you to submit your testimony in writing,” the judge said. ”OK,” Taitz said. She then left the stand and spoke from the assembly once again. She stated that “We have clear evidence of fraud and forgery…Mr. Obama has used other last names…” She then stated that of all the lawsuits filed against Obama regarding his eligibility, none were heard on “the merits.” Taitz asked Judge Malihi to order the release of Obama’s records in Hawaii and to hold Obama in “contempt of court” for failing to appear at the hearing.

The judge said, “Thank you” and adjourned the court at 11:12 a.m.

After Running a Deficit of 10.9% of GDP The GDP Growth Rate is Projected to be 1.7%.

Real Per Capita Disposable Income is projected to drop 0.85% for 2011. What this means is that there is more activity in the capital users economic numbers, distorted by Federal Reserve policies of inflating the money supply, than on Main Street where paychecks declined.

Inflation creates false signals of artificial demand and causes capital users to increase demand for inputs when there is no real inflation adjusted demand there. This means they will take on more risk than they would otherwise assume, increasing the probability of a bust in the near future.

Below is a summary from Zero Hedge of the GDP Numbers;

“When commenting earlier on the GDP number we noted that the sellside brigade is about to start coming out with Q1 GDP “warnings” now that inventories will likely subtract between 0.5% and 1% from growth in the current quarter. Sure enough here is Goldman with the first warning saying that “The composition of growth was slightly negative for the Q1 outlook, in our view.” That’s not surprising. What is is that also according to Goldman, the auto sector contributed 0.3% to the overall GDP number. Which means that ex inventories and autos (sold courtesy of NINJA loans provided by Uncle Sam as discussed extensively every month with the release of the Fed’s Consumer Credit number), the US economy grew a meaningless 0.5%! And this in the quarter when the US economy was supposed to be on a tear. We are now fairly concerned that there is an outright chance of economic contraction in Q1.

Real Per Capita Disposable Income, Main Street lost in 2011

BOTTOM LINE: Q4 GDP growth slightly worse than expected. Compared to our forecasts, details showed more inventory growth, less consumer spending and less business investment.

MAIN POINTS:
1. Real GDP increased by 2.8% (annualized) in Q4, a bit weaker than the consensus had expected. The composition of growth was slightly negative for the Q1 outlook, in our view. Growth in domestic final sales–GDP less inventories and net trade–was just +0.9%, in contrast to our expectations for +2.0%. The weakness reflected: (1) slightly weaker than expected consumer spending of +2.0%; (2) weaker than expected business fixed investment, reflecting a 7.2% decline in structures investment; and (3) a 12.5% contraction in federal government spending on national defense. National defense spending tends to be volatile, and we would therefore discount this component as a signal about the near-term growth outlook. The misses on consumer spending and business investment are arguably more meaningful.

2. Among the other details, inventories increased by $56bn during the quarter, adding 1.9 percentage points (pp) to GDP growth–much more than we had expected. In contrast, net exports actually subtracted 0.1pp from growth. We had forecast a positive contribution from net trade of +0.5pp. GDP excluding motor vehicles increased by 2.5%, implying that the rebound in the auto sector added 0.3pp to growth.

3. The GDP price index increased by just 0.4% (annualized) in Q4, far below consensus expectations for a 1.9% increase. Nominal GDP growth was therefore quite soft at just +3.2%. The core PCE price index rose by 1.1%, slightly above consensus forecasts.”

New Home Sales at Historic Lows

Loans Secured by Real Estate

As if further evidence of the declining economy was needed commercial real estate loans are down 4.1% from July 2010 to July 2011, the last month of available data.

The sad part of it our politicians in Washington know this is happening, and that it will get worse. There are still 4 million homes that need to be sold and 2 million waiting to be foreclosed on. And nobody in Washington or the Federal Reserve will take responsibility. All that happens is another round of increasing the money supply to satisfy the elites on Wall Street, and another round of borrowing to satisfy the elites in the federal government.

I find myself intrigued with Ron Paul on a regular basis. The man can get up and say some of the most patriotic and sensible things in once sentence and then in the next sentence sound like he just came out of an insane asylum. Paul has great ideas when it comes to fiscal responsibility, spending, freedom, and the Federal Reserve. On the other side of the coin, though, his ideas on foreign policy leave me wondering where he left his brain, or if he has one that is properly balanced. When he speaks of fiscal issues he sounds like Ronald Reagan. When he speaks of foreign policy he sounds like Hugo Chavez and even to the left of Barack Obama.

When I hear him speak of auditing or eliminating the FED I stand up and cheer. The Federal Reserve is a non-governmental entity that is destroying our economy by printing money that has essentially no value, thereby lowering the value of the dollar and guaranteeing severe inflation in the very near future. The FED also has virtually no oversight from anyone in Congress. Paul is also correct in his assessment of federal government spending. We cannot keep spending money borrowed from China for building IHOP restaurants, studying ants in New Zealand, teaching African men how to wash their genitals after sex, and certainly can’t keep borrowing to prop up European countries.

I also agree with much of his stand on Iraq and Afghanistan, not to mention Libya, Sudan, Yemen, and the other third world hell holes Obama is involving us in. Fighting a war against Islamic terrorists is one thing but this “nation building” farce is only a boon for the military industrial complex and is not helping any aspect of our national security interests. We are wasting money and lives in a venture that will fail because it isn’t about winning a war; it is about being politically correct and propping up a puppet government. As we are leaving Iraq we see the sectarian slaughter returning. Sunni and Shiite Muslims have been butchering each other for centuries and we are not going to stop it. Until these stone-age animals decide to live like human beings nothing we do is going to change anything. All we do is put our soldiers in the line of fire with a no-win policy that puts their lives in danger with rules of engagement that are insane.

While closing military bases all across the United States we build and expand bases throughout the world. While we are “helping Afghan police and military close their borders to invaders” we leave our own borders wide open to drug cartels and the very Islamic terrorists we are fighting in far off lands.

Ron Paul makes quite a stir when he talks about “legalizing drugs”. I don’t remember everything he has said about drugs but I do know he has some valid points here also. The “war on drugs” has been going on for 50 years and has cost taxpayers billions in wasted money. Not only have we not solved the problem of illegal drugs; this “war” has made it worse. Most of Paul’s position has more to do with leaving this issue to the states, not legalizing drugs wholesale as the story is reported. Ron Paul is a strong states’ rights advocate, as am I. It only took the politicians 14 years to see the problems caused by Prohibition and repeal the 18th Amendment. The war on drugs has been going on for 50 years with the same results we saw during Prohibition. I don’t condone legalizing all drugs but I see a colossal failure that could be handled better at the state level.

Paul has the same ideas on abortion; let the states decide how they want to handle this issue. I agree with him on this matter. If it isn’t in the Constitution the federal government has no business sticking their nose into it. Every time a person or group doesn’t get their way at the state level they run to the federal government to override the states, the place where these issues should be decided. I see abortion as murder, and see murder as a state issue not a federal one.

I hear all of the things Paul writes and says about these issues and I jump up and cheer him on. Then he begins to talk about foreign policy and I scream out in pain. Paul is just as bad as Barack Obama when it comes to blaming America for every ill in the world. I have a cousin who worked in the building demolition business years ago and I had several opportunities to see the activities involved in blowing a building up, or rather imploding them. When I hear Ron Paul talk about 9/11 being an inside job I want to choke his scrawny little neck.

The idea that the World Trade Center was taken down by internally placed explosives is ludicrous to anyone who has even a scant knowledge of building implosions. The amount of work necessary to drill into pillars, place the explosives, wire them together, and tie everything to a detonator cannot be accomplished in a building with thousands of people walking in and out all day every day. A building that size isn’t brought down on itself with a satchel charge tossed into an elevator. The idea that the Bush Administration was involved in setting up the hijackings is equally ludicrous and statements by Ron Paul and his supporters on this issue shows they are well outside the realm of sane or intelligent thought.
While Ron Paul has some very good ideas about what is needed to restore The Republic of the United States of America, he has more than enough crazy ideas to make him a danger to every person in this country. I would love to see Ron Paul be the next Treasury Secretary or Chairman of the Federal Reserve but to put this man in the White House would endanger our nation almost as much as re-electing Barack Obama.

We need a very strong leader with strong conservative values. We need someone who will articulate the conservative message and have the courage of his/her convictions. Now is not the time for waffling or being concerned about “diversity” or “inclusiveness”. The only answer to our nation’s problems is a conservative approach that relies on the Constitution that our founding fathers fought the Revolutionary War to make possible. Anything less will result in the demise of a once great nation and the rise of another Third World banana republic with a dictator such as Adolph Hitler or Hugo Chavez. Ron Paul is not the man for the job.

I submit this in the name of the most Holy Trinity, in faith, with the responsibility given to me by Almighty God to honor His work and not let it die from neglect.

Bob Russell Claremore, Oklahoma January 23, 2012

Obama WILL NOT SHOW UP!
He dares not show up.
So then what?

Tonight President Obama will give a class warfare speech about fairness, while his crony capitalism ways continue unabated. All this talk is nothing but deception for the economically illiterate voters, and those just too stupid, being of low IQ, to understand. The real issues of economic stagnation, and soon collapse, will be avoided. To say Obama is the world’s number one hypocrite does injustice to hypocrites everywhere.

While Obama bloviates about economic injustice the real creator of economic justice, the Federal Reserve, lack of an immigration policy, and government transfer payments of 15.3% of a poor persons paycheck, will never be mentioned.

Politicians do not care about economic injustice, they only like to talk about it and blame the straw man, “the rich,” and baffle the, too stupid to understand the con game, (mostly) Democratic voters. Meanwhile the super rich, like Buffett, get richer.

The following appeared in Zero Hedge on 1-24-2012.

Warren Bufett and his employee Obama

As it turns out, it is not just natural resources and aquifer purity that Obama had in mind when sealing the fate of the Keystone XL pipeline. No – it appears there were far more relevant numerial metrics that determined Obama’s decisions. Such as the bottom line number of Buffett’s Burlington Northern, which according to Bloomberg, is among U.S. and Canadian railroads that stand to benefit from the Obama administration’s decision to reject TransCanada Corp.’s Keystone XL oil pipeline permit.

‘“Whatever people bring to us, we’re ready to haul,” Krista York-Wooley, a spokeswoman for Burlington Northern, a unit of Buffett’s Omaha, Nebraska-based Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK/A), said in an interview. If Keystone XL “doesn’t happen, we’re here to haul.”

And quite delighted to reap the windfalls of unfounded populist fears she forgot to add. Because while the whole “carbon-credit” multi-trillion top line expansion scheme for Goldman under the pretense of actually caring for the environment may have collapsed, it is not preventing others from trying and succeeding where even Goldman has failed.”

The most corrupt president of all time?

“Rail car production is already at a three-year high as manufacturers such as Greenbrier Cos Inc. (GBX) and American Railcar Industries Inc. (ARII) expand to meet demand for sand used in oil and gas exploration, according to Steve Barger, an analyst at Keybanc Capital Markets Inc. in Cleveland, citing Railway Supply Institute statistics.

Rail-car suppliers can add capacity, Hatch said.

“Railroads are not just a stopgap while we wait for a pipeline,” Hatch said in an interview. “They are potentially part of the long-term solution.”

Railroads are being used in North Dakota (STOND1), where oil producers have spurred a fivefold increase in output by using intensive drilling practices in the Bakken, a geologic formation that stretches from southern Alberta to the northern U.S. Great Plains. During 2011, rail capacity in the region tripled to almost 300,000 barrels a day as higher production exceeded what pipelines handle, according to the State Department report on Keystone XL.

Burlington Northern carries about 25 percent of the oil from the Bakken, said Krista York-Wooley, the railroad spokeswoman. The company can carry higher volumes from North Dakota or Alberta, she said.

If you have the money Obama is your friend

“With an extensive rail network and proven expertise in moving energy, CP offers a flexible option for transporting crude oil and other energy-related products to and from key locations in North America,” Vice President Tracy Robinson said in an e-mail. “Rail is scalable, allowing CP to effectively keep pace with the shipping needs of producers.””

To quote Zero Hedge;

“So those wondering how it is that AAR railroad statistics continue to be so very strong, it is not because the economy actually justifies it: it is because crony interests such as those of the Octogenarian of Omaha demand it as “payment” for their crony collegiality with the biggest dunce president since Carter.

In other news, it is truly amazing how with every new development, America is now becoming like one giant conspiracy theory, only this time it is actually not a theory as with every passing day we see it enacted in practice.”

Briefly the economic problems are;

1. Too much debt, deleveraging must occur before we can grow the economy.

2. Too much government consumption, spending, of the economic resources. Government, federal, state, and local, creates waste and misallocation of resources and consumption should not exceed 25% of the GDP, total. Currently federal, state, and local consume over 45% of the GDP creating huge deficits and crowding out of sustainable productive private enterprise job creation.

3. Regulations. Regulators do not add to the GDP, never did and never will. Regulators will never protect the American public from financial disaster; they completely missed the housing bubble and are completely missing the money bubble. They are useless and the sooner we the people realize it the better. The best regulation is strong private property rights and the ability to utilize the lawyer services of law firms to enforce those private property rights. Call it the Morgan and Morgan regulators.

4. No border fence or enforcement of immigration law. When President Warren Harding entered office in 1921 in the middle of a sever recession with 20% unemployment he understood that is was not beneath his dignity to enforce immigration laws. Why have we created this nation if we cannot enforce the borders?

None of this will be discussed tonight.

What’s the deal with Chris Christie saying Newt Gingrich is an embarrassment to the Republican Party?
Guess he has not noticed half the Republican party is an embarrassment to the people. This reality is not sinking in yet?

Now Ann Coulter is wound up like a ready to break clock spring on Bill O’Reilly?
Pretty much the pot calling the kettle black Ann. What you do is not good for Newt?
Then she is saying Gingrich CAN NOT BEAT OBAMA?

Let me try and piece this together here.
Could it be Ann Coulter is playing “elite politics as usual”?
She just LOVES CHRIS CHRISTIE and Christie has been promised VP slot to Romney?

Since a worn out flip flop could beat Obama I am wondering what is the REAL DEAL?

Those who THINK THEY ARE THE REPUBLICAN ELITE get to tell “we the people” who can beat Obama?
I think not!

To date I have watched every debate. Honestly I have not heard anything new from Mitt Romney in all that time. It appears he has canned talking points THAT NEVER CHANGE.
He is drop dead boring.
The same old sing song rhetoric which will likely be broken should he get into office.

It appears to me THE ROMNEY RECORD shows he simply goes with whatever the political flow might be.

Would he be better than Barack Obama?
A 1000 times!

Would he be better than Newt Gingrich?
NO! they are on par!

So will it be interesting to see what the people in Florida have to say when they hit the ballot box next week?
Yes indeed it will.

From the transparent President who IS DEFINITELY NOT TRANSPARENT to Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich.
Now that is a contrast that even the dullest dullard should be able to observe.

On one hand we have Barack Obama who has spent well over 2 million dollars and DAILY RISING to keep HIS RECORDS SEALED. Well except for his shady little house deal with buddy jailbird Tony Rezko. You remember that same Tony Rezko sentenced to 10 1/2 years of pen duty for a $9.6 million kickback scheme? Somehow before it could be covered up the Obama/Rezko real-estate deal escaped into public view. Illegal? Any charges for either of them?

On the other hand we have both Romney and Gingrich presenting their information for public scrutiny pretty darn quick. Today and tomorrow.

To this day it escapes me why someone would spend millions to HIDE INFORMATION if there WAS NOTHING TO HIDE?
Does anyone but me find this strange?

What does that really tell us about Barack Obama?
One of 2 things to me … he is an immature spoiled brat or has something serious to hide.
Perhaps both apply?

Obama slid in under “the scrutiny” radar in 2008.
Clearly the main stream media will ignore all of the Obama glaring issues. Past and present.

It falls on the heads of “we the people” to be diligent in keeping the Obama problems at the forefront of this election cycle.

Keep in mind “we the people” and our INTERNET VOICES are the TRUE POWER MEDIA of today.

So the question is ETHICS.
Who is and who is not ethical?
Now we can all look at the transparent Presidential hopefuls and decide for ourselves.
Where their business dealings unethical?
Were they illegal?
Were they both or none of the above?

Let’s drag this information out for the public to discuss and decide now before November 2012.

Let THE BEST MAN WIN!

Yesterday the Obama administration announced he was declining the Keystone XL pipeline application due to the Republicans setting an “unreasonable timeline” of February 21, 2012 for a decision. That George W. Bush, still causing problems for Obama!!! Obama wanted to put it off until after the 2012 elections so he could continue to draw campaign money from both sides. As it is now, he will only get money from the “environmental” nut cases unless the supporters of the pipeline are willing to pay him for a favorable decision after he gets re-elected in November (snicker!!!).

This decision has all the markings of his pledge before the 2008 election to “fundamentally transform” the United States of America. Remember when he said that he would bankrupt the coal companies and that energy prices would “necessarily skyrocket”? Here we are, a chance to keep that campaign pledge to his left wing zealots who want to see America become a Third world hell hole dictatorship. Remember when he closed off all drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, ignored a court order to resume permits, and sent $4 billion to a George Soros invested company in Brazil so we could be “their best customer”?

As Obama once again applies his “laser focus on jobs” we see the prospect of 5,000 immediate jobs, 20,000 jobs over the next few years, and the potential 200,000 long term jobs fizzle in an orgy of pandering to his left-wing base. Of course, there is the magnificent prospect of the unemployment payments that will actually rescue our economy. This came from that paragon of economic brain trusts, Nancy Pelosi. Remember when she said that every dollar of unemployment payments generates $1.87 to the economy? That is very good news indeed. There certainly isn’t any sense in losing such an economic boost by providing thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of jobs. We once again see our country being taken down the road to financial ruin by those desiring to rule rather than govern. This is not new as we have seen what the radicals who have taken over the Democrat Party have been doing for several years.

Environmental groups opposed the pipeline saying it could harm the Oglala Reservoir under Nebraska. That is a huge concern to all of us I am sure. There is no doubt this pipeline will do as much damage to the environment as the Alaska Pipeline did to the tundra and the herds of deer, moose, elk and whatever. I have read many stories about the Alaska pipeline and the results of that coming “environmental disaster”. If I remember right, and I don’t have the stories before me, the herds are thriving because the heat from the pipeline is keeping the grass growing under it without damaging the permafrost. The food being provided by the vegetation in what was a total wasteland in winter, not to mention the heat off the pipes providing warmth for the herds, is actually increasing the numbers of animals.

The big question is what are the Republicans in Congress going to do about this situation? Yesterday we heard Republicans come out and denounce the decision with tough talk and big words, but will they actually do anything to reverse this decision? I have my doubts. As a matter of fact, I will be bold enough to say “No, they won’t!!!” The leadership in the Republican Party is so weak and so busy being “civil” and “reaching across the aisle to work with our Democrat friends” that I don’t expect them to do any more than they have done with the stimulus, TARP, debt ceiling, etc.

Unless We the People elect true conservatives in November we will continue to lose our freedoms daily. We used to lose a freedom here and there but now we see them disappearing in droves. It seems as if every piece of legislation that comes out, unread of course, takes another freedom away from us.
Obama and members of both political parties in Congress are combining to destroy what was once the most prosperous nation in the history of the world. Our economic security, our physical security, and or liberty are all being taken from us by those who got elected by promising a better life for all Americans. If it isn’t already too late November will be the pivotal point of my lifetime. If we don’t make drastic changes, assuming Obama allows elections in November, we will lose what is left of our liberty.

We can’t just blindly vote for Republicans as they have proven to be unreliable, and as dangerous as Democrats. Only 22 of the 87 freshmen TEA Party members elected to the House of Representatives in 2010 voted against the debt ceiling increase last fall. If we have another freshman class like that in 2012 we are doomed to a lifetime of tyranny. Our future is at stake and the Keystone XL Pipeline permit denial is just one more nail in the coffin of the Republic of the United States of America.

I submit this in the name of the Most Holy Trinity, in faith, with the responsibility given to me by almighty God to honor His work and not let it die from neglect.

When will these supposed educated people FINALLY GET THE PUBLIC DRIFT?

There has been a lot of media chatter about Newt Gingrich’s answer to the opening question in the SC debate Thursday nite (1/19/2012).

It boils down to how dare he IGNORE his bad behavior in a previous marriage to to how dare the public give him a standing ovation for his answer.

Clearly the MEDIA does not have a clue what goes on at the grassroots level anylonger.

Personally I chuckled when comments were/are made.

People where not cheering Newt defending his situation with his ex-wife they were cheering for his ability to not get trapped in the BULLS*** melee expected by the question.

His ability to rise above the pit and attack the real problem … which was a hope for good old fashioned Colosseum drama.

Business as usual is dulling the mind with the Kardashian’s, Sunday Football, NASCAR and a bevvy of other seductions.

Interesting the public is beginning to walk and chew bubble gum.

They can sharpen their minds and enjoy a break with the Colosseum all at one time.

Gee Whiz we are finally becoming a thinking society again?
We can cultivate our own opinion rather than being a parrot for someone eases opinion?

I think that is a step in the right direction

Reality is people who have the ability to think for themselves are not so easily run off a cliff in the middle of the herd.

I find that hopeful
