Yesterday I was drawn to the TV in order to watch the presidential inauguration … one of the more historic moments in my time.
A half black man was elected President of the United States of America. That in itself is a minor miracle to one who looks back 67 years in time.

I have to say this is the first time in my life I was interested enough to watch most of an inauguration of any past President. Barack Obama’s speech was one of the most inspirational I have yet to hear. It reminded me somewhat of a speech by John F. Kennedy where the famous “ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do of your country” was born. All of the ‘hope’ pieces directed at the populace were there … certainly something that the mass could cling to for ‘hope of positive change’.

So what if the moment was a little tarnished by an 87-year-old civil rights pioneer, Rev. Joseph Lowery, during the inauguration benediction when asking God to help mankind work for a day when “white would embrace what is right”.
Apparently Rev. Lowery is to old to remember where he came from and where he is today … ALL achieved by the majority of whites who worked so hard by the side of blacks in order to usher in that change. Otherwise Lowery and his issue might still be behind a horse drawn plow in some Louisiana cotton field of old.

So what if the occasion were further tarnished by those in the crowd chanting ‘boo’ to President Bush, his wife Laura, Vice President Chaney and his wife Lynn?

We must be reminded this bad behavior is indicative of the ‘warped character’ sported by a ‘minority left fringe’. Unfortunately this fringe would vote for Mickey Mouse … the silver lining was Obama was there instead.

What I found disappointing was Barack Obama snickered at (Rev. Lowery) and ignored the ‘boo chant’ of a fringe that he mistakenly thinks love him.
Obama missed the opportunity to stop EVERYTHING in its tracks and in reality be as great as a majority expects him to be. Instead he showed his own lack of character by failing to respond to ‘right is right’. We are lead by example not by words alone.

Do you think maybe ‘we the people’ should expect someone who ‘walks the walk’ instead of simply blathers on about ‘hope and change’?

For me what overshadowed this whole historic moment was when Barack Obama placed his hand on the Lincoln bible and swore to uphold the Constitution of the USA.

WHAT A CROCK!

What kind of light is shed on the character of a man who knows he does not qualify as a ‘natural born citizen’ (AS REQUIRED BY THE CONSTITUTION OF THE USA) but pretends he does anyway?

What does it say about the character of those who claim to love our nation and the Constitution (the foundation of this country) when they sit idle and say/do nothing?

We expect this man is capable to lead us where?

This commentary has NOTHING to do with politics … it has everything to do with character and ethics, which clearly is sorely lacking in our government today.

So ‘we the people’ are saddled for 4 years with someone who spouts “hope and change” while being void of character and ethics?

This is THE JOKE OF THE CENTURY!

Barbara Levy Boxer (born 11 November 1940) is the current junior U.S. Senator from the State of California. Boxer was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1992, becoming one of the first of two female Jewish senators, along with Dianne Feinstein. Throughout her career, Boxer has been a vocal advocate for environmental issues, abortion rights, gun control, and medical research. She is generally classified as a progressive or liberal and is often in conflict with conservative groups. Her electoral margins have increased each time she has been re-elected.
In 1962, she married Stewart Boxer, and took his surname, and graduated from Brooklyn College with a Bachelor’s in Economics. She was a member of the Delta Phi Epsilon sorority, in the Phi chapter.

Boxer’s husband, Stewart, is a prominent attorney in Oakland, where he has always practiced. He mainly handles worker’s compensation cases (on the side of injured workers) and is known for keeping a very low profile, when it comes to politics. Many cases are referred to him by labor unions, including the Teamsters.

Early in Boxer’s political career in 1996 she came under scrutiny of the FBI for her strong support of China’s most favored nation trading status. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer were targeted to receive payments according to the NSA/FBI intercepted communications of Chinese operatives. The intelligence ultimately would not show that the Chinese government intended to organize payments directly to U.S. campaigns. They suspect the money would have come from businesses with operations in China, including subsidiaries in Taiwan or Hong Kong.

One of the most liberal senators she has voted against anything that would strengthen America. She voted against the Iraq War. She supports socialized medicine via the “you get the same insurance coverage as I do” scam Obama is pimping. In education she will drain the country dry supporting any and all after, before and during school indoctrination programs for children. Spend the money and ignore the overwhelming fact that there is no correlation between education spending and per pupil and results. It’s all about special interest and brainwashing the masses.
She believes the federal government can increase jobs and supports Invest in the USA Act. Somehow she thinks taxing companies $24 billion, taking a bureaucratic cut, and then spending the remainder on American Jobs Creation Act will help the economy. Barbra the masses may be that stupid but your stupidity insults my intelligence. You want jobs to return to America? Cut corporate taxes to 15% and shut up. It’s all about power and screwing America for this lady.

The liberal opposes drilling for oil, spending money protecting the oceans, supports Global Warming theories and wants to take away the masses energy supplies from conventional sources, and supports subsidies to farmers who are green. Take away energy from the masses and tax them more is her basic philosophy. Then some brainwashing until they can’t tell what is happening.
She supports killing babies by any means available. Supports spouse abuse programs that get women out of marriage instead of marriage counseling. Anything to break up families right Barbara?

She opposes FISA intelligence gathering laws, supports gun control laws. I could go on but the pattern is pretty clear. She is strongly opposed to helping the masses and private businesses and strongly in support of Big Brother. She supports all this taxation and chaos for the masses but in her own life she is a traditional family person. One husband, two kids, no drama. This seems to be a patter with these liberals. One set of values for her family and one set of values for the gentile unwashed masses of pork eaters. No empathy whatsoever for the working men and women. What goes around comes around Mrs. Boxer. We got your drift, you getting ours?

It seems as time goes on those intent on corrupting our voting system get more bold. We have all heard of ACORN and others but today the most outstanding is Al Franken and his bid as senator of Minnesota.

It escapes me how out of thin air come enough ballots that were stashed elsewhere are allowed to be counted. The logical thing to do at this point is have all citizens vote again. This time showing they are legally registered voters. Probably Franken would LOSE in a landslide and we would be done with the whole mess.

What is most disturbing is the hypocrisy of the democrats who sit idle and refuse to leap up and scream about this situation. Clearly if the shoe were on the other foot we would see a rabid frenzy to right the situation pretty darn quick.

Apparently those who have lost their ethical way in lieu of the ME, ME, attitude so pervasive in politics today do not realize the tide is fickle and when it turns against them (and it will) they themselves will be screwed.

I have to wonder where are the good citizens who should also be pitching a major bitch over such antics? Do we simply sit silent and allow the ‘pond scum’ of the world take over and rule us all?

The latest from Republican National Lawyers Association:

Al Franken’s backers in Minnesota are so fearful of what we at the Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA) are doing to demand a fair Senate election in Minnesota that they have even taken legal action against us at the Federal Election Commission to stop us.

But we won’t stop. We won’t be intimidated by Franken and his gang.

Make no mistake about it: Franken, Harry Reid, and the Democratic Party of Minnesota will stop at nothing to seat Franken in the Senate.

Before the “recount” was even done, Reid tried to seat Franken and declared: “Norm Coleman will never ever serve [again] in the Senate.“

How dare he? The official election is not over in Minnesota. In fact, as we speak, a new judicial panel is being empowered to review all of these funny ballots that went in Franken’s favor, giving him his alleged lead.

Don’t forget that, on election night in November, Republican Coleman was ahead by 725 votes.

Even Reid’s deputy, Sen. Dick Durbin, admitted that no senator has been seated without an election certificate since 1884.

Still, Reid claimed that Minnesota is a “different animal” and that he still would seat Franken.

But GOP pressure and the work of the RNLA, among others, prompted Reid to back down. For the moment.

Though he hasn’t seated Franken in the Senate, Reid has outrageously broken all tradition and sealed shut Sen. Coleman’s office, leaving Minnesotans without one of their senators.

One thing is clear: We — thanks to your help — have had a major effect thwarting Democratic efforts to seat Al Franken illegally in the Senate.

This is why we at the RNLA have been targeted by Franken and his friends in the Democratic Party. This is why they filed a false and frivolous FEC complaint to stop us.

Please help us continue our efforts to expose the truth about Al Franken’s attempt to hijack this Senate seat.

Please help us stop Harry Reid from breaking all the rules of the Senate.

It seems like every time you turn on the TV, there’s an eye-catching new pharmaceutical commercial airing. Each new pill is packaged more beautifully than the last, and drug makers’ lofty claims promise an enticing array of health improvements — as long as you ignore the dubious side effects.

Still, the advertisements often skirt the big issues — what exactly are these new miracle pills for? Where do you turn for more information? Watch what happens when one man decides to seek some answers and ends up with more information than he bargained for!

How often do we see animals getting along better than we humans?
Perhaps we humans need to take a closer look.

This post is a result of an email sent my way today.
It is a good example of how society is consumed by the trivia of the day and is quick to bitch/complain over NOTHING.
I researched this email because I do not often simply take these pass around email posts as true … this one did happen to be true.

So why would I post an incident from 2005 now?
Because it is indicative of a worse scenario today. “We indeed have come a long way baby”. Unfortunately it is in the wrong direction.

My first inclination when I read the email (only part of the story) was the complainer deserved a quick rap on the jaw in order to jar him out of his self-absorbed ME ONLY attitude. Apparently that was the reaction of others as the story unfolded.

In the end was left a very embarrassed complainer who clearly wished he had put more thought to comments before he ever took keyboard and mouse in hand.

Instead of reprinting the email version I decided to add the full length since it shows the whole picture.

The moral of the story is maybe we all need to think before we shove our mind into 1st gear and take action.

The original research can be also viewed HERE:

Luke AFB is west of Phoenix and is rapidly being surrounded by civilization that complains about the noise from the base and its planes, forgetting that it was there long before they were. A certain lieutenant colonel at Luke AFB deserves a big pat on the back.

Apparently, an individual who lives somewhere near Luke AFB wrote the local paper complaining about a group of F-16s that disturbed his day.

Claim:
Resident writes to newspaper to complain about fly-by of jets from local Air Force base headed for a fallen serviceman’s memorial service.

Status: True.

Origins:
This is one of those items for which any additional commentary would only serve as a distracting embellishment, so we’ll just present the details here and let the story tell itself.

A letter to the Editor;
Question of the day for Luke Air Force Base:
Whom do we thank for the morning air show?

Last Wednesday, at precisely 9:11 a.m., a tight formation of four F-16 jets made a low pass over Arrowhead Mall, continuing west over Bell Road at approximately 500 feet. Imagine our good fortune!

Do the Tom Cruise-wannabes feel we need this wake-up call, or were they trying to impress the cashiers at Mervyns’ early-bird special?

Any response would be appreciated.

Tom MacRae, Peoria3

The correspondent received a response from Col. Robin Rand, commander of Luke AFB’s 56th Fighter Wing, in the pages of that same newspaper the following day:

Luke Air Force Base was asked to respond to a letter writer’s question about a “morning air show” he observed recently (“A wake-up call from Luke’s jets,” Letters, Thursday):

The “wake-up call” witnessed the morning of June 15 was a formation of F-16 jets from Luke Air Force Base lining up for a memorial service in Sun City at the gravesite for Air Force Capt. Jeremy Fresques, an officer assigned to Air Force Special Operations. Fresques gave his life in defense of our country while serving in Iraq.

It is unfortunate that at a time when our nation is at war someone would believe we have less than honorable and professional reasons for such a mission.

The commander of the fighter squadron was given the difficult duty of informing the family of Capt. Fresques on Memorial Day that the officer, a husband, son and Arizonan, had died in Iraq.

On behalf of the men and women at Luke Air Force Base, we continue to keep Jeremy and his family in our thoughts and prayers.

Col. Robin Rand
Luke Air Force Base4

Four days later, the newpaper also published a reponse from Lt. Col. Pleus himself:

Regarding “A wake-up call from Luke’s jets”:

On June 15, at precisely 9:12 a.m., a perfectly timed four-ship of F-16s from the 63rd Fighter Squadron at Luke Air Force Base flew over the grave of Capt Jeremy Fresques.

Capt. Fresques was an Air Force officer who was previously stationed at Luke Air Force Base and was killed in Iraq on May 30, Memorial Day.

At 9 a.m. on June 15, his family and friends gathered at Sunland Memorial Park in Sun City to mourn the loss of a husband, son and friend.

Based on the letter writer’s recount of the flyby, and because of the jet noise, I’m sure you didn’t hear the 21-gun salute, the playing of taps, or my words to the widow and parents of Capt. Fresques as I gave them their son’s flag on behalf of the president of the United States and all those veterans and servicemen and women who understand the sacrifices they have endured.

A four-ship flyby is a display of respect the Air Force pays to those who give their lives in defense of freedom. We are professional aviators and take our jobs seriously, and on June 15 what the letter writer witnessed was four officers lining up to pay their ultimate respects.

The letter writer asks, “Whom do we thank for the morning air show?”

The 56th Fighter Wing will call for you, and forward your thanks to the widow and parents of Capt. Fresques, and thank them for you, for it was in their honor that my pilots flew the most honorable formation of their lives.

Lt. Col. Scott Pleus
Luke Air Force Base5

What was going on behind the scenes:

On 8 June 2005 the following item appeared in the Albuquerque Tribune:
Air Force Capt. Jeremy Fresques, a Farmington native and Farmington High School graduate, joined a growing list of New Mexicans who have died in the war on terrorism, when the surveillance plane in which he flew crashed last week 80 miles northeast of Baghdad. Three of his U.S. colleagues and an Iraqi airman also were killed. Fresques was awarded the Bronze Medal posthumously Friday.

Fresques was 26. He left behind a wife — also an Air Force captain — and his parents. His sacrifice — and theirs — in the name of our nation’s security and the cause of democracy was immense. Col. O.G. Mannon, commander of the 16th Special Operations Wing, rightly called Fresques and his comrades “heroes.” We regard Fresques and all men and women with New Mexico connections as family and hold them deeply in our hearts.1
Capt. Fresque was killed in the line of duty on Memorial Day 2005, a month before he was to return home, and news of his death was conveyed Fly-By that day to Lt. Col. Scott Pleus, commander of the 63rd Fighter Squadron at Luke Air Force Base in Glendale, Arizona, where Capt. Fresques had previously been stationed. Lt. Col. Pleus, along with a chaplain and a medical technician, drove that evening to Yuma, Arizona, to undertake the sad duty of notifying Capt. Fresque’s parents of their loss.

About a week later, Lt. Col. Pleus was notified that a memorial service would be held for Capt. Fresque in Sun City, Arizona, on 15 June and that a fly-by from Luke AFB had been requested as part of the service in Capt. Fresque’s honor. Lt. Col. Pleus quickly assented:
Of course we would do it. It’s a four-ship formation. They fly straight and level over the gravesite and then, directly over the service, the No. 3 plane pulls away while the others fly straight ahead. Symbolically he’s headed for heaven. It’s the highest form of respect we can pay to a fallen airman.

Everyone involved in such a service considers it an honor. The fliers. The honor guard. The bugler who plays taps. All of us.2
While preparing to head from Glendale to Sun City (a distance of about 6 miles) for the memorial service, four F-16 fighter jets from Luke AFB flew a holding pattern over Glendale’s Arrowhead Mall, prompting a local resident unaware of their purpose to send the above sarcastic letter of complaint to the editor of The Arizona Republic:

To his credit, the complainant, Mr. MacRae, tendered a written apology which was published in The Republic on 9 July:

Regarding “Flyby honoring fallen comrade” (Letters, June 28):

I read with increasing embarrassment and humility the response to my unfortunate letter to The Republic concerning an Air Force flyby (“A wake-up call from Luke’s jets,” Letters, June 23).

I had no idea of the significance of the flyby, and would never have insulted such a fine and respectful display had I known.

I have received many calls from the fine airmen who are serving or have served at Luke, and I have attempted to explain my side and apologized for any discomfort my letter has caused.

This was simply an uninformed citizen complaining about noise.

I have been made aware in both written and verbal communications of the four-ship flyby, and my heart goes out to each and every lost serviceman and woman in this war in which we are engaged.

I have been called un-American by an unknown caller and I feel that I must address that. I served in the U.S. Navy and am a Vietnam veteran. I love my country and respect the jobs that the service organizations are doing.

Please accept my heartfelt apologies.

I found this on Fountainheadzero tonite and had to share it here.

Posted by Jerry D. Hill at 11:53 AM on FountainHead Zero

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years.

No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm, life isn’t always fair, and maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not children are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.

Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a class mate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job they themselves failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer Aspirin, sun lotion or a sticky plaster to a student; but could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar can sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason.

He is survived by three stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, Someone Else is to Blame and I’m a Victim.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

Author Unknown

My comment:
The decline of common sense started in 1946 with the best selling publication “Baby and Child Care” by Dr. Benjamin Spock. For at least 30 years every mother knew his name WELL. Spock using psychoanalysis concluded then conned society into believing it was better to treat children as individuals rather than training them to be responsible, respectful and disciplined.

That whole concept worked well don’t ya think?

Dan Mitchell wrote the following on January 11, 2009. Great insight as always Dan.

Which U.S. president ranks as America’s greatest depression fighter? Not the fabled Franklin Delano Roosevelt, since unemployment averaged 17 percent through the New Deal period (1933–1940). What banished high unemployment was the conscription of 12 million men into the armed forces during World War II. FDR actually prolonged high unemployment: he tripled taxes; he signed laws that made it more expensive for employers to hire people, made discounting illegal, and authorized the destruction of food; and he launched costly infrastructure projects like the Tennessee Valley Authority that became a drag on states receiving TVA-subsidized electricity.

America’s greatest depression fighter was Warren Gamaliel Harding. …Harding inherited Wilson’s mess — in particular, a post–World War I depression that was almost as severe, from peak to trough, as the Great Contraction from 1929 to 1933 that FDR would later inherit. The estimated gross national product plunged 24 percent from $91.5 billion in 1920 to $69.6 billion in 1921. The number of unemployed people jumped from 2.1 million to 4.9 million. Harding had a much better understanding of how an economy works than FDR.

As historian Robert K. Murray wrote in The Harding Era, the man who would become our 29th president “always decried high taxes, government waste, and excessive governmental interference in the private sector of the economy. In February 1920, shortly after announcing his candidacy, he advocated a cut in government expenditures and stated that government ought to ‘strike the shackles from industry. . . . We need vastly more freedom than we do regulation.’ ” One of Harding’s campaign slogans was “less government in business,” and it served him well. Harding embraced the advice of Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon and called for tax cuts in his first message to Congress on April 12, 1921. The highest taxes, on corporate revenues and “excess” profits, were to be cut.

…Harding’s Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover wanted government intervention in the economy — which as president he was to pursue when he faced the Great Depression a decade later — but Harding would have none of it. He insisted that relief measures were a local responsibility. Federal spending was cut from $6.3 billion in 1920 to $5 billion in 1921 and $3.2 billion in 1922. Federal taxes fell from $6.6 billion in 1920 to $5.5 billion in 1921 and $4 billion in 1922. Harding’s policies started a trend. The low point for federal taxes was reached in 1924; for federal spending, in1925. The federal government paid off debt, which had been $24.2 billion in 1920, and it continued to decline until 1930.

Conspicuously absent was the business-bashing that became a hallmark of FDR’s speeches. Absent, too, were New Deal-type big government programs to make it more expensive for employers to hire people, to force prices above market levels, or to promote cartels and monopolies. …With Harding’s tax and spending cuts and relatively non-interventionist economic policy, GNP rebounded to $74.1 billion in 1922. The number of unemployed fell to 2.8 million — a reported 6.7 percent of the labor force — in 1922. So, just a year and a half after Harding became president, the Roaring 20s were underway. The unemployment rate continued to decline, reaching an extraordinary low of 1.8 percent in 1926. …While Harding can hardly be considered a champion of laissez-faire economics (he supported tariffs, after all), the pro-growth policies he implemented are directly responsible for the astonishingly rapid growth in prosperity — and widely shared prosperity — America enjoyed throughout the Roaring 20s. …Rather than follow the model of FDR — whose policies raised only Americans’ spirits — President-elect Obama ought to consider the model of Warren G. Harding, whose policies raised Americans’ standard of living, and lifted the nation itself out of a depression — before it had a chance to become Great.

My comments,
Dan is a very nice man. A lot nicer man than I am. He assumes or pretends to assume that Obama and democrats want what is best for America. I would suggest nothing is further from the truth. Democrats know FDR’s policies kept them in power for decades and it was not until 1994 that their stranglehold on power was wrenched from them. Democrats, as Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi noted on several occasions, worship power and Keynesian economics. It’s what they are all about. Power and control over you. Obama and the democrats with the assistance of a lot of republicans, notably George Bush, are turning the United States into a socialist economy as fast as they can.

They bailed out the banks, automotive and next will be the press. Yes a state run media. This is far deeper than socialism it’s totalitarianism. The run up of debt will eventually collapse the dollar and wipe out the middle class. 401K confiscation like what was done in Argentina will wipe out personal savings.

I must give my employer credit for stopping her 401K contributions if for no other reason than her employees will rethink the investment and move the money into a less government plundering vulnerable vehicle.

Millions will be without property or rights. 1984 is about to become reality. There are few educated individuals with the power or education to combat this. All we can hope for is a Battle of Britain scenario where a few brave talented airmen successfully fought off the Third Reich. I don’t really relish doing all this research beyond my regular job. I have four kids in college and an average suburban lifestyle. But I owe it to my children and anyone else out there to report what is happening as long as I am able to.

I think Dan and most economically educated people understand what is going on. It is evident everyday in the stock market results that continue to drop after trillions in bail outs. On the positive side I will include a video comparing the flat tax verses the fair tax from the Center for Prosperity. Well done as always.

Barack Hussein Obama II is the President-elect of the United States of America. The first African American to be elected President of the United States, Obama was the junior United States Senator from Illinois in 2004 and served until his resignation on November 16, 2008, following his election to the Presidency. His term of office as the forty-fourth U.S. president will begin on January 20, 2009. He is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. Obama worked as a community organizer and practiced as a civil rights attorney in Chicago before serving three terms in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004. He also taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. Following an unsuccessful bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2000, Obama was elected to the Senate in November 2004. Obama delivered the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July 2004.

He allegedly was born in Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women & Children in Honolulu, Hawaii although currently there are as many as 19 law suits challenging his citizenship and trying by court order to have him submit his vaulted copy to a court of law for examination. Obama has spent $800,000 that we know of defending himself from having to provide any direct documentation to a court of law. Seems pretty expensive to us ordinary working stiffs when all he has to do is provide his birth certificate and make all these court proceeding disappear. One thing is know for certain his certificate of live birth, not to be confused with the long form birth certificate, is a horrible forgery. Many experts have gone over it and the basic conclusion is Obama got his half sisters certificate of live birth, washed it and placed his information over it. And this is why he spent $800,000 defending his right not to present the certificate to a court of law. To do so would subject the document to court inspection and subject him to perjury charges. This would mean instant impeachable ammunition and instant weakening of his ability to lead.

Why doesn’t he submit his vaulted copy? It would be open to public scrutiny. What is on the document that is so secret? Different father? Different birth name? Place of birth Kenya? We don’t know and Obama refuses to release the document for public inspection.

The story that is most believable is his mother, Ann Dunham, went to Kenya with his father at about six or seven months pregnant. This time line would be consistent for college students getting out of school around the beginning of May. Six months pregnant, beginning to show but easily concealable. It would be the adventure of a lifetime for any 18 year old. Possibly as the reality of life in a poverty stricken third world Muslim country began to wear on her she may have tried to return to America to deliver the baby and was denied a boarding pass due to her pregnant condition. And the baby was delivered in Mombasa, Kenya at least according to Obama’s grandmother, half brother and sister. Since then the Kenyan government has issued a gag order on the family from talking to the press.

All this money and government edicts seem to be a whole lot of hassle and expense for someone with a valid birth certificate. Any rational person at the first sign of a law suit would authorize the release of the vaulted copy of the birth certificate. I certainly would.
One thing is certain. Ann Dunham was registered at the University of Washington for the fall semester of August 1961. Interesting choice of colleges since she reportedly gave birth August 4th, 1961 in Hawaii and had previously attended the University of Hawaii in the fall of 1960. Would most women pick up and change universities with a three week old infant? Possibly what happened was she was in Kenya and registered as a correspondence student for the fall, flew back to Washington, then Hawaii, registered or maybe not registered Obama’s birth, flew back to Washington realizing her short term relationship with the father was over, and resumed her college career. We do know she spent the fall, winter and spring semesters of 1961 and 1962 at the University of Washington.

Ann Dunham married Lolo Soetoro and Barrack was adopted and was reportedly an Indonesian citizen about 1965 or 66. This is possibly how he was able to travel to Pakistan in 1981 when US citizens were banned from travel to that country at that time. It also stands to reason if he had an Indonesian passport under the name Barry Soetoro he was registered at Columbia under the name Barry Soetoro which would also explain why he doesn’t want any records released from Columbia. Not even a picture of his degree.

Obama was placed in the care of his grandparents at the age of 10. Probably the only decent thing his reportedly promiscuous communist mother did for him. In his later writings he worshipped his absentee father as a child. Reading and gleaning information about his mother I can see why. She must have been a horribly neglectful woman concerned with saving the world, satisfying her lust for sex, communism, and group events with strangers over and above her duty to her children as is the case for most liberals.Bad behavior is easily justifiable by the weak, lazy and irrational person by taking up some cause that will save humanity.Communism was Ann Dunham’s cause.
He attended the finest private school in Hawaii just as his children attend the finest private school in Washington DC today. A good lesson for the anti school voucher crowd if there ever was one.

After a stint in junior college as it was called back then Obama transferred to Columbia. Possibly under the name Barry Soetoro. None of his grades were released but I am sure he got nothing less than a B in his core classes. How do I know? I attended college at that time and colleges and universities were doing everything they could to educate and promote black students. When I went to ask about financial aid at the University of South Florida I was told I was the wrong color to receive any aid. For the white males working and the military was the accepted form of aid back then in the early 80’s.If you didn’t have the daddy scholarship to bad, no college for you.The financial aid office at Columbia probably did cartwheels getting Obama every dollar they could.

As for his core curriculum grades two words, political science. For anyone who has attended these political indoctrination sessions the classes are on par with a 5th grade social studied class. Lots of professor opinion about how bad capitalism is and if we could just give people money for nothing the world would be equal and perfect. Any idiot could get strait “A’s” in political science. It’s the preferred degree of lawyer wannabes who need lots of easy classes to boost their GPA for law school entrance and stoners who don’t want to study. Obama would fit in perfectly.

It always astonished most math, business, and engineering students when we graced the halls of these leftist areas of the campus. Like going on academic vacation where you parked your brain, listened to the dogma of the intellectually weak minded, and regurgitated it all back on papers you were required to write. It was like taking three classes and getting the fourth one for free. Minimal study and a few papers. The only thing you needed to pay attention to was the political philosophy of your professor. Was he communist, socialist or fascist? Once you had that figured out it was an easy “A.”

During Obama’s Columbia years he has admitted to using cocaine. Even with financial aid Columbia and living expenses must have been a financial burden. How did he do it? We don’t know but as one from the era he would have been a pretty good mid level coke dealer. Cool, calm demeanor somewhat tough looking with the right clothing accessories and a cigarette in his mouth. We will never know since no one from Columbia, staff or students will talk about him.

And why did he go to Pakistan in 1981? Another financial opportunity or reaffirming his Muslim faith?
Possibly making connections to the future Jihad fighters that would play such an evil role in the coming years.
Maybe someday Barry Soetoro will tell us his secrets.
After graduation Obama was community organizer, going around Chicago pimping government hand outs to the residences and hassling corporations. If they just gave money away for nothing the world would be perfect don’t you know? Why work? Seems to be his philosophy these days with his bail out proposals.

Eventually he realized he needed a law degree to climb the heap of parasites consuming the blood of the working people of the world. He got the help of Dr. Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour former PLO terrorist and spokesperson. No need to work your way through college like Sarah Palin did when you have terrorist connections that will pay your way through school. Work is for idiots and suckers seems to be Obama’s lesson he learned early in life.

He was appointed the president of the Harvard law review and I would venture to guess is the only HLR editor in the history of the publication to never have written a complete article for the publication. He submitted one six page piece that was evaluated as “The temperate legal language doesn’t display the rhetorical heights that run through his memoir, published a few years later, but provides insight into his support for abortion rights and expanded social service.” At Harvard he rode his skin color for all it was worth. Affirmative action “A’s” and even president of the HLR.

And what about his memoir? Dreams From My Father. Obama was given $125,000 from Poseidon a affiliate of Simon & Schuster. After years of mediocrity he reportedly had William Ayers ghost write the book. And had another ghost write his second book which is completely different in style from the first.

This brings up the biggest myth about Obama in the media today. He’s smart. Where is there any evidence of his being smart? Can he write a 5,000 word coherent paper about anything? All his raw writing and normal speech is average or stupid at best. Has anyone recorded or have in print something original to him?

No he’s not smart. If he was smart he would have opted for that engineering or doctor’s degree. Or at the very least showed some brilliance like his father did in getting a minor in math. It’s not that unusual for young minds interested in Bachelor of Arts studies to cross over to math or science for a few classes to prove they are brilliant. I have seen a psychology student taking physics as an elective for just that reason. It makes a statement and garners respect.

His cap and trade energy policy is strait out of a text book. His bail out and “tax cuts” are strait out of the communist manifesto and John Maynard Keynes books of just giving the money away for nothing and liquidity trap theory. He doesn’t have an original idea in his head. He reads Teleprompters and gives rehearsed answers. He’s black. That’s it.

He has learned how to exploit his skin color and that’s all he done his whole life. I would guess his IQ to be at 90 to 95. Show me an unedited paper he wrote about anything and change my mind. Show me some grades from Columbia or Harvard that will change my mind. He’s black and looks like a clean cut guy who speaks English without the ghetto dialect. And we are stuck with this communist educated idiot for at least four years.

For those of you who missed the first five they were Chris Dodd, Chuck Schumer, Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi and the all time hall of fame freaks.

This is probably the best e-mail I’ve seen in a long, long time. The following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Kaye from GA. If true this guy should run for President one day…

‘We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional. We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights.’

ARTICLE I:
You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.
 
ARTICLE II:
You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone — not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.

ARTICLE III:
You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful; do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.

ARTICLE IV:
You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes.

ARTICLE V:
You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we’re just not interested in public health care.

ARTICLE VI:
You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don’t be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.

ARTICLE VII:
You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don’t be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won’t have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure.
 
ARTICLE VIII:
>You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful. AMEN and AMEN

ARTICLE IX:
You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.

ARTICLE X:  
This is an English speaking country . We don’t care where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from!

Lastly ARTICLE XI:
You do not have the right to change our country’s history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution.The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!
