"Birthers" now a majority! - 'Question about Obama's legitimacy is undermining everything he does'

Americans to Obama: Release your records!

By Bob Unruh© 2010 WorldNetDaily
Editor's note: This is another in a series of monthly "WND/WENZEL POLLS" conducted exclusively for WND by the public-opinion research and media consulting company Wenzel Strategies.

At a time when Barack Obama is getting heat for stonewalling information about an alleged administration bribery scandal, a new poll shows more Americans than ever suspect the president is hiding information about his own background and want him to come clean.
Questions about Obama's eligibility to be president, exacerbated by his refusal to answer questions, release ordinary background documentation and his extraordinary legal maneuvers to keep his background hidden, have been on the radar of a number of top-level investigative reporters and news organizations since before his election.

Essentially, while the Constitution requires a president to be a "natural born citizen," none of the questions about Obama's qualifications – or lack thereof – under that requirement have yet been answered.

It's working! Sign the petition that will force Obama to prove he's eligible for office
"Simply put, this question about Obama's legitimacy as president is undermining everything he does in the minds of millions of Americas," wrote Fritz Wenzel of Wenzel Strategies in an analysis of his results.

"Our latest polling shows a majority of Americans – 55 percent – want Obama to release all records relating to his childhood and his education, including college records, Harvard Law School papers, passport records, travel records, and other similar documentation," he said.
"Asked what should be done should it be found that Obama does not meet the qualifications to be president, 59 percent said he should be removed from office, and 35 percent said all bills signed into law by Obama should be repealed," he said.

The poll said when asked about whether Obama's background documentation – the school records, birth records and others – should be released, the 55 percent who said yes included more than 82 percent of the GOP, 55 percent of independents and nearly 28 percent of Democrats.

Further, another 17.1 percent of Americans said Obama should release some of his documentation, making it nearly three in four Americans who want the president to unlock the steel door on some or all of his background information.

Despite his campaign promises of transparency while in office, there has been no shortage of disputes over secrecy in the Obama administration. He's already argued in court for more secrecy in the White House, claimed his work is "privileged" and apparently got rid of an inspector general who was applying heat to a friend.

The survey indicates Obama's orchestrated efforts to marginalize "birthers" who are raising questions about him and his background have failed totally. The fact that only 65 percent of the members of his own party will agree that he's been transparent is a "red flag," the analysis said.
"When Barack Obama was campaigning for the U.S. presidency, he promised one of the most open and transparent administrations in the history of the county. Sixteen months into his term, a majority of Americans believe he has failed. That a majority of adults nationwide – 56 percent – said he has not run an open administration is a stern rebuke because there is so much power invested in the office of the presidency," said Wenzel.

"Forget that any modern president would have trouble standing up to a comparison with George Washington and other early presidents when it comes to honesty and integrity, Obama has taken steps throughout his administration that appear secretive," he said.

"Once elected, he appointed dozens of so-called 'czars' to oversee various parts of the federal government, which are extra-constitutional in that there is no provision for congressional approval of such appointees. To further complicate things, we have seen a flood of legislation that would make landmark changes to American society, all pushed by the Obama administration before congressional lawmakers had a chance to even read the bills," Wenzel noted.

"Then, when it was clear the public was displeased with the direction in which Washington was moving under Democratic party rule, President Obama ignored the national clamor to slow down. Instead, he pushed ahead with an even more aggressive agenda, even as voters rejected his agenda wherever they had the chance – in such Democratic strongholds as New Jersey and Massachusetts," he continued.

The opinion from only two-thirds of Democrats that Obama has been "open and transparent" is a "flashing red danger signal, but it is unclear the Obama administration is paying attention to such things," Wenzel said.

The fundamental question of his eligibility originally came up during his campaign.
"This is an issue that … is easily put to rest once and for all by his release of his long-form birth certificate," Wenzel said. "His refusal to do so has fed the idea that he has something to hide. Americans aren't asking him to prove a negative here – that he didn't do something illegal – but rather are simply asking that he prove a positive: that he was born on American soil.

"When required, every American citizen produces their birth certificate for a variety of reasons, and it is no big deal. This is why Obama's refusal to produce his is so baffling – and so troubling – to so many people," he said.

Aaron Klein's exposé of Barack Obama's notorious connections with extremists and America-haters is scorching the best-seller lists. Order your copy of "The Manchurian President" today.
Asked specifically if Americans believe Obama was born in the U.S. to two U.S. citizens – one accepted definition of a "natural born citizen," as required by the U.S. Constitution for a president – only 38 percent said yes.

Fifty-two percent agreed Obama is hiding something by refusing to release his documentation.
"Asked specifically about their beliefs about the place of Obama's birth, 39 percent said they suspect he was not born in the United States. This belies the efforts of the Obama administration to paint so-called 'birthers' as a right-wing fringe group. Even among Democrats, nearly one in four – 22 percent – said they either suspect he was not born in the U.S. or that they are not sure on the question," Wenzel said.

WND columnist David Limbaugh said even the "liberal New York Times has begun to notice" that Obama "is still playing hide-and-seek with the press."
"Not having a genuine news conference since July would be remarkable for the least transparent administration, let alone one that made openness a signature campaign issue," he wrote just days ago.

Likewise, WND founder and CEO Joseph Farah has noted Obama's secrecy in connection to the developing case of Rep. Joe Sestak, D-Pa.

Sestak has reported he was offered a job in the Obama administration in exchange for dropping out of the Pennsylvania senatorial primary race against Sen. Arlen Specter.

"If he's telling the truth, and can prove it, a very serious crime has been committed by someone in the Obama administration – one that could lead right to the president's door," he wrote.
"Of course, this calls for an independent investigation. A probe of this kind cannot be directed by anyone within the Obama administration. It cannot be conducted by the Democratic Congress in a critical election year. It requires the appointment of a special counsel with full subpoena power. It also requires some transparency and answers from a regime that has pledged to be the most open administration in history."

Naples Tea Party
By Barry Willoughby

In a despicable display bordering treason and dereliction of duty, some elected officials in Washington gave a standing ovation to the President of Mexico who urged our political leaders not to enforce U.S. immigration laws. The new law in Arizona includes, almost in verbatim, the same language as the federal law. American sovereignty and the rule of law is apparently the last thing on the minds of progressives, as they would place the rights of illegal's over national security and the Constitution.

The facts seem to be inconvenient for those supporting the lawbreakers. How many times have we heard, "illegal aliens pay rent, buy groceries, buy clothes and do the jobs Americans don't want to do? What happens to the American economy if 20 million people go away?"

Hummm, one such investigative reporter thought, "what would happen," so Tina Griego, from the Denver Rocky Mountain News wrote an objective column titled, "Mexican Visitor's Lament"- 10/25/07. Liberal progressives should take note that she wrote this when President Bush was still in office and had the Tea Party movement been alive, Bush border and immigration policy would have been the rallying cry at many Tea Party events. So, enough already with the notion Tea Partiers are in lock step with Bush.

This journalist did her due diligence and buried her nose as an objective reporter into the FACTS she found below. Her research led to several states and she concluded it was representative of America as a whole if Illegals moved back to where they came from.

No more push '1' for Spanish or '2' for English. No more confusion in American schools that now must contend with over 100 languages that degrade the educational system for American kids. Our over-crowded schools would lose more than two million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in ESL and free breakfasts and lunches.

America's economy is drained. Taxpayers are harmed. Employers get rich. Over $80 billion annually wouldn't return to the aliens' home countries by cash transfers. Illegal migrants earned half that money untaxed, which further drains America 's economy which currently suffers an 8.7 (now$13.7 and climbing rapidly) trillion dollar debt.

While President Obama and the Democrats have framed the Arizona law as discriminatory, nothing could be further from the truth. Obama characterized the law as "misguided" and "poorly conceived." Oh really Mr. President. The Arizona law conforms with federal law and makes it a crime to be in the country illegally. I wish progressives would just come out and say it. The real goal is to ultimately provide a pathway towards amnesty for the 20-million or so illegal's currently breaking the law. Such a large voting block for socialism would be a terrible thing to waste.

The vast majority of Americans are in favor of securing our borders and the Arizona law. That is why the Naples Tea Party will hold a rally in support of Arizona and the rule of law on Saturday, June 5th at 12:00 noon in front of the Collier County Court House. For more information: e-mail us at:


Tell all your friends and join us. We will have some fabulous speakers that will both enlighten and motivate you to become engaged in the illegal immigration issue.

If you are sick and tired of the rhetoric and lack of accountability coming from elected representatives and non-elected functionaries in government, join the grassroots Tea Party movement. Together, we the people can take back America and restore the values and principles that once shaped this nation towards greatness.

By Alan Caruba
web posted May 31, 2010

Ever since polls have been taken there have been presidents who encountered disapproval during their terms in office. Usually history exonerates them to some degree. This is not likely to happen with Barack Obama.

As this is written, a Politico.com polls puts Obama's job disapproval rating at 46.4% and Congress has a disapproval rate of 72%, a figure matched by Rasmussen Reports. Obama's disapproval rate according to Rasmussen was 44%.

Polls, we are always told, are "snapshots" of public opinion at a given time, but the polls consistently tell us that the vast majority of Americans disapprove of the President and Congress, and believe the nation is headed in the wrong direction.

In a recent Wall Street Journal column, Peggy Noonan, wrote "I don't see how the president's position and popularity can survive the oil spill. This is his third political disaster in his first 18 months in office. And they were all, as they say, unforced errors, meaning they were shaped by the president's judgment and instincts."

Suffice it to say that, if elections were being held next Tuesday, voters would replace most of those in Congress and, if Obama's ratings continue to fall—-and I think they will—-there would be an angry mob surrounding the White House carrying torches and pitchforks demanding his resignation.

In that fanciful scenario Obama would head home to Chicago to work on another ghost-written autobiography or memoir of his brief stay in the White House and America would be stuck with Joe Biden. If Nancy Pelosi is reelected, she would be next in line!

Since January 2009 the Obama administration has created an economic and financial house of cards. No part of it is sustainable.

Turning around Congress and the nation's future can be likened to turning a super tanker. It takes five miles of ocean just to slow the ship. In America's case, the ship has been outward bound on a sea of progressive programs that everyone knows are not working and which have begun to spring giant leaks in the hull.

There is plenty of blame to go around for our present troubles. Both parties studiously ignored the ticking time bomb of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that have put taxpayers on the hook for $1.6 trillion. The "toxic assets" they created brought down banks and investment houses.

The people in charge of maintaining the value of the U.S. dollar, primarily Alan Greenspan of the Federal Reserve, began to reduce the amount of interest banks had to pay to borrow. By the time that amount reached zero percent and banks became reluctant to loan even among each other, one might conclude our money had become valueless.

When the market crashed in September 2008, the U.S. government bailed out some banks and investment firms, buying their "toxic assets." Banks stopped lending, Lehman Brothers went out of business, and the slide toward economic collapse began in earnest. With all that TARP money and subsequent "stimulus" billions, the one element of the economy that didn't get any help were our small and medium size businesses, the ones that create eight out of every ten new jobs.

Meanwhile Social Security is broke and Medicare soon will be. The former is insolvent and the latter has been expanded in ways that will require rationing medical care European-style. There may not be "death panels", but the effect will be the same. There will be little incentive for anyone to go into the medical profession.

Thanks to the Obama administration's close association with SIEU, the mammoth government service workers union, Americans are discovering that it and other comparable unions have been operating on a "public be damned" philosophy. In America, the biggest employer is state and federal governments. Union members are no longer affordable.

When a teacher recently complained she wasn't being paid enough, New Jersey's Governor, Chris Christie, told her to get another job.

Around the 1970s the American economy began to move away from one that actually made things to one in which "financial services" replaced this essential requirement for a viable economy.

Now conjure with this. The national debt is $13 trillion. The Gross Domestic Product is around $12.9 trillion. According to Reuters, the United States posted an $82.69 billion deficit in April, "nearly four times the $20.91 billion shortfall registered in April 2009 and the largest on record for that month."

Moody's Investor Services keeps repeating that our "Aaa" rating is going to go bye-bye any day now. It will cost more for the U.S. to borrow money and we are already paying billions in interest on what has been borrowed. If this sounds like Greece, it is.

One reason Congress is so unpopular is that they are repeating and exacerbating all the failed policies of the Depression years; not getting out of the way so that the private sector of the economy can recover. More and more of the economy is being nationalized.

There are two outstanding reasons President Obama is unpopular. He lies all the time and he is spectacularly incompetent. He is the living example of the Peter Principle in which a person is finally promoted to a job for which he has no qualifications.

NASA Covers up Global Warming Hoax for Forty Years Friday, May 28th, 2010

This week, John O'Sullivan stumbled upon information from NASA that seems to refute the very basis of Global Warming Theory - and worse, he may have discovered a concerted, forty-year effort to cover it up.

O'Sullivan reports on a paper (link opens a PDF file - Acrobat Reader or similar program required) co-written by three men: Martin Hertzberg, PhD, Consultant in Science and Technology, Alan Siddons, a former radiochemist and Hans Schreuder, a retired analytical chemist. According to these three, the equation upon which all Global Warming Theory studies are built is inherently flawed.

...The researchers had the bright idea of delving back into NASA’s archives to test the "Stefan-Boltzmann" equations in fine detail...

The long-trusted formula has been used by climatologists without question - until now. The researchers report that the numbers used in those equations are the “first assumption that climate science makes when predicting the Earth's temperature.”

The "Stefan-Boltzmann" equation is, apparently, remarkably simplistic and arbitrary, so much so that NASA actually abandoned the use of that equation when preparing for the Apollo Mission in the 1960's. You read that right; this equation was deemed not good enough for NASA more than forty years ago. And yet it is still the equation upon which climate scientists base their assumptions.

The problem with the equation is that it does not factor in the earth's crust varying capacity for absorbing heat; instead treating it as a two-dimensional, uniform "black body."

NASA had found that daytime temperatures on the lunar surface were lower than expected because planetary bodies also conduct heat to their inside rather than radiating it all into space - an empirical fact that challenges the GHG theory. Computer models supporting GHG theory had predicted that such heat energy would be ‘blanketed’ above a planet's surface.

In fact, the Apollo data proves the Moon’s surface temperatures throughout its two-week night were higher than predicted by the blackbody equations because the moon "feeds on" the heat it had previously absorbed.

But it gets worse: compounding such disarray, NASA, now apparently acting more like a politicized mouthpiece for a socialist one world government, cannot even provide consistent numbers on Earth’s actual energy budget.

Thanks to further discussion with scientist, Alan Siddons, a co-author of the paper, ‘A Greenhouse Effect on the Moon,’ it appears I inadvertently stumbled on a NASA graph that shows the U.S. space agency is unable to tally up the numbers on the supposed greenhouse gas "backradiation." Why would this be?

In its graphic representation of the energy budget of the Earth the agency has conspicuously contradicted itself in its depiction of back-radiation based on its various graphs on Earth's radiation budget.

As Siddons sagely advised me, "This opens the question as to WHICH budget NASA actually endorses, because the one you show is consistent with physics: 70 units of sunlight go in, 70 units of infrared go out, and there’s no back-flow of some ridiculous other magnitude. Interesting."

To reiterate: 40 years ago, NASA scientists discovered that a certain equation was too simplistic to risk the lives of their astronauts when calculating the first Lunar landing, so they threw it out and used their own. The landing was successful. Then, for whatever reason, their reservations about the first, simplistic equation vanished, and it was used in support of Man-Made Global Warming theory, despite its obvious inadequacies in the 1960's.

This bombshell comes the same week two seemingly staunch supporters of Climate Change action appear to have backed down. In the U.S., Reuters reports that it is extremely unlikely the proposed climate bill will be tackled before 2011 at the earliest. And the U.N. is now arguing that economic considerations for nature preservation are far more compelling than those of Global Warming. Both actions appear quite obviously to be a response to growing public doubt in the veracity of global warming science. Yet, scientists (and their lackeys in the media) wonder why their cries of "wolf!" continue to lose credibility with the public.

At some point, the media and climate scientists alike are going to have to respond to these doubts. It probably won't happen until the see their funding dry up. So it's up to you. Contact your local congressman and tell them how you feel. And forward this email to anyone interested in the topic.

In the end, the truth will win out. It always does.

Ariz. immigration law more popular because of critics

Opponents unwittingly make Ariz. immigration law more popular
By: Gary Andres
Weekly Standard

When Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed her state’s new immigration law on April 23, reaction from the political Left was swift and furious. They predicted jack-booted rogue cops staging midnight raids on the homes of everyone.

But after over a month of national debate and media coverage – including criticism from both the American and Mexican presidents, and a host of newly minted experts, a curious thing is happening. The state’s new law has not led to massive deportation or racial cleansing in the desert. And there is even some evidence it’s growing in popularity, both in Arizona and nationally.

Ironically the same liberals, intent on tearing down the new law through hyperbolic invective, may be contributing to its widening support.

Arizona’s immigration law deeply offends the sensibilities of most liberals – particularly those who don’t live there. Their rhetoric would be comical if it weren’t so predictable.

Miguel Guadalupe, writing at the Huffington Post, described the measure as a “Gestapo Law.” Colombian singer Shakira called it “unjust and inhuman.” Seth MacFarlane, creator of the TV show “Family Guy,” told Reuters Television, “Nobody but the Nazis ever asked anybody for their papers.”

Last week, “Desperate Housewives” star, turned immigration/federalism expert, Eva Longoria, attending a White House state dinner for Mexican President Felipe Calderón, scolded, “You can’t have these states doing their own punitive laws when immigration is a federal issue.” Thanks, Eva. Maybe next you can tell us why it was a good idea to use budget reconciliation to pass health care?

But enough from these policy gurus.

The knee-jerk hyperbole creates a new cause for Hollywood celebrities and liberal pundits to show off their political credentials. But for the rest of the country, it focuses attention on the unique challenges facing this border state.

Most Americans appreciate the tensions that led to the passage of the Arizona law. Unfortunately, many liberals, including President Obama and his allies in Hollywood, do not. They would rather grandstand and pander.

William Galston, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institute and a former advisor to Bill Clinton, is one Democrat that understands the complicated politics and policy surrounding this issue. Galston is also the co-editor of a thoughtful blog called the Democratic Strategist. Last week he wrote a piece (cross posted at the New Republic) titled, “Why Immigration Reform is Bad Politics This Year.” “But I still have no idea why some leading Democrats, such as Chuck Shumer, think that pushing this issue right now will be helpful in November,” Galston writes. “If they believe that recent events in Arizona have created a public groundswell for a more liberal response, they’re just wrong.”

Recent surveys from CBS/New York Times (51 percent say the law’s “about right”), Pew (59 percent “endorsed” the measure), NBC/Wall Street Journal (64 percent supported the law), and Gallup (51 percent support) reinforce Galston’s point.

The Los Angeles Times finds support is “up significantly” from a similar poll done a month earlier. These results all track Rasmussen’s data which show 55 percent of likely voters nationally support the law, but also 71 percent within the state of Arizona – up from 64 percent in late April.

I don’t live in Arizona, but many of my family and friends do. I travel there a lot and just returned from a trip several weeks ago. My light-hearted references above about the Hollywood glitterati should in no way detract from the seriousness and complicated nature of this issue.

Residents are frustrated, angry and, even, fearful. They live with an immigration emergency every day. Most believe the situation has spun out of control, including the clergymen, teachers or law enforcement professionals dealing its consequences, or Latino families worried about their families’ future.

Achieving consensus in this debate is like finding a pebble in the Sonoran Desert. But Arizonans reached a state of panic. Hearing sanctimonious Hollywood liberals and President Obama preach about the morality of the state’s response sounds out of touch. Watching Democrats in Congress engage in what the National Review’s Rich Lowry call “national self-abasement,” as these lawmakers gave the Mexican president a standing ovation for criticizing the state’s action, only fuels their outrage at Washington.

Maybe if Obama, Democrats in Congress, and their Silver Screen friends spent more time helping and talking to Governor Brewer – and fewer hours primping for state dinners or pumping up foreign critics – they’d have a better perspective.

Most Americans agree.

The Demise BHO’s Web of Deceit

In his final scene of Shakespeare’s play, Richard the Third, King Richard, lying in writhing physical and psychic pain over all the battles lost, screams, "A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse!"

King Richard lost his kingdom and he got no horse. In his final scene, he no longer had any subjects, followers, allies or friends. The people of England were no longer fooled by his tangled web of deceptions.

Like King Richard, Barrack Hussein Obama is about to lose a series of major battles, starting in Madisonville, Tennessee, on April 20, 2010. The looming loses for BHO have been foretold for anyone who cared to listen.

We have all seen how, as a result of BHO's incompetence in handling the BP Oil Spill, once such fanatical BHO supporters like Carville, Brazille and Olbermann are now clamoring to criticize the BHO administration.

However, it is far more threatening when local County officials like the Mayor of Champaign, Illinois openly question BHO because it is in the Courts of these local Counties where BHO will finally be brought to justice by 25 true Patriot on a Citizens Grand Jury.

When the Mayor of Champaign, Illinois, the home of the major State University in his Home State, questioned the validity of BHO’s citizenship, it became clear that BHO has credibility problems with those who really know him. Incidentally, the Mayor is a former Police Officer and Chief of Police in Champaign. Mayor Schweighart does not think that BHO is a citizen of the United States. He may be right about that, but, to my mind, the facts surrounding BHO’s birthplace are immaterial.

Being that his father Barrack Hussein Obama Sr. was a British/Kenyan subject (citizen) at the time of his birth, Barrack Hussein Obama Jr., by his own admissions, is not a Natural Born Citizen of the United States; and, thus, BHO Jr. is not Constitutionally qualified to be the President of the United States, regardless of where he was born.

Barrack Hussein Obama’s father was not a citizen of the United States. Consequently, BHO is not a Natural Born Citizen and is not qualified to be the President of the United States according to the Presidential Qualifications Clause of Article II Section 1 of our Constitution. As Sir Walter Scott said, "O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive!" That is Barrack Hussein Obama’s predicament, he is lost in his own tangled web of deceit; and, like King Richard in his final lost battle, BHO no way out.
Our Founding Fathers gave us a Bill of Rights that insures us with the method to regain control of our Government, the Citizens Grand Jury which provides We the People with the power to Indict Corrupt Politicians with or without the approval of any judge or district attorney.


These 12 Simple Steps are the way Patriots can use our Bill of Rights to keep control of the Government and to Clean up Corruption in government:

2) Form the Grand Jury and select a Foreman.

4) Select a convenient Meeting Place.

6) Schedule presentments by said Citizens.

7) Subpoena documents from Government Offices and Officials.

8. Schedule presentment of said Documents to Grand Jury by Grand Jury Attorney General.

11) Announce all Indictments to the Press and schedule News Conferences in front of your local Court House.

In his book, Arthur C. Brooks sheds light on the reality of Americans’ political leanings. With 70 percent supporting free enterprise and opposing big government, why does the media give us the impression that conservatives are outside of the mainstream? Indeed, Brooks says, Newsmax, rather than Time, represents the mainstream.

Rear-end collisions jump at red-light camera intersections in West Palm Beach
By Charles Elmore
Palm Beach Post Staff Writer

Updated: 10:11 p.m. Monday, May 24, 2010

Posted: 5:15 p.m. Monday, May 24, 2010

--Overall accidents increased to seven from six.

"A larger sample size is needed to make any determinations about the program's effect on accidents," said city spokesman Peter Robbins.

Advocates for a law passed this spring giving state authorization for the cameras said the whole point was to increase safety - and there was no time to lose.

"We've got to do something," said state Sen. Mike Bennett, R-Bradenton, during the legislative session that ended in April.

The losing side in the debate contended another motive is in play. Motorist group AAA pointed out a private camera contractor working with West Palm Beach and several other cities, American Traffic Solutions of Arizona, is partly owned by Wall Street titan Goldman Sachs, which gained control of two ATS board seats in 2008.

"It's more about the money than it is traffic safety," said Kevin Bakewell, a vice president with AAA in Tampa who unsuccessfully urged Gov. Charlie Crist to veto the state law.

In West Palm Beach, a barrage of fines dwarfed the total number of wrecks, yet accidents still increased. The city issued 1,337.5 citations per crash in the first full month of fines, March. There were two documented accidents in that month at the three city intersections with red-light cameras: Australian Avenue at Banyan Boulevard, Belvedere Road at Parker Avenue, and Summit Boulevard at Parker. By comparison, there was one crash at those intersections in January, the last full month without fines.

The state law that takes effect July 1 increases to $158 from $125 the standard fine mailed to car owners, but takes $70 to $100 of each fine for the state. Local governments share the rest with camera vendors.

The state acted in response to lawsuits challenging local authority over cameras, but West Palm Beach had already become the first city in Palm Beach County to issue fines with red-light cameras. More than half a dozen cities and the county are poised to proceed with cameras of their own, and their public justification in each case has been safety.

Palm Beach County plans to put cameras at 10 intersections because research in other states such as Virginia tends to show at least a moderate reduction in side-angle crashes with cameras, even if rear-end crashes sometimes go up, said traffic division director Dan Weisberg. A 2007 study in Virginia found rear-end collisions increased 27 percent after red-light cameras were installed, while red-light running crashes decreased 42 percent.

In the end, cameras are just one more way to enforce existing law, he said.

"If a cop saw someone run a red light and gave them a ticket, no one would bat an eye," Weisberg said. ""Why is the camera a big deal?"

One contentious issue with cameras, though, has been how strictly to enforce slow--and-go right turns on red - illegal on the books, but not typically written up by a cop in person unless particularly aggressive or dangerous.

After scores of complaints, West Palm Beach has since offered refunds for two-thirds of its March fines. The city decided April 5 to stop enforcing slow-rolling right turns on red. Even Mayor Lois Frankel got nabbed in a right-turn case, initially indicating she planned to fight it but later saying she would donate the fine to charity.

"When we saw the number of right-on-red citations that were being issued and the amount of money that was associated with these citations, we decided to stop issuing the right-on-red citations altogether and refund the money of those who had been cited," city spokesman Robbins said.

"The cameras are a well-intended effort to make our roads and intersections safer, and were never intended to become a game of 'gotcha' with motorists. We recognized very quickly that the right-on-red citations did not represent nearly as big a safety issue as people driving straight through the intersections, and that's why we made the common-sense decision to change our program and refund the money of those who had paid violations for right-on-red turns."

West Palm Beach initially announced fines would be issued at five intersections, but permitting issues held up cameras at Australian Avenue intersections with Belvedere and 25th Street. Before Crist signed the law, city officials were also hampered by legal considerations from placing cameras on state roads, which are often larger and feature heavier traffic.

Will West Palm Beach move ahead with more cameras? The latest indication seems to be no.

"We do not currently have plans to expand the program, but we will continue to monitor it and review the data to determine if any changes are needed," Robbins said.

Clearing the Smoke on Obama’s Eligibility Updated


Lieutenant Colonel Lakin is refusing to deploy as ordered to Afghanistan until Obama permits the Hawaii Department of Health to release his original birth certificate to support the claim that he is a natural born citizen and thereby meets the eligibility requirement for his office mandated by the Constitution. This may lead to Lakin’s facing a court-martial.

McCollum: Rick Scott Linked to Healthcare ‘Fraud’
The battle to replace Charlie Crist as Florida’s governor is heating up in the GOP primary.

Earlier this week, the Bill McCollum campaign released a new TV ad with Jeb Bush, the popular former governor, urging conservatives to back McCollum.

Former healthcare executive Rick Scott is waging a multimillion-dollar TV ad effort to wrest the GOP nomination from McCollum, the state’s attorney general.

On Saturday, McCollum’s campaign released a memo sharply criticizing Scott. It cited press reports from the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, which slammed Scott for his role running one of the nation’s largest hospital companies.

The newspaper reported: “It was and still is the biggest Medicare fraud case in U.S. history and ended with the hospital giant Columbia/HCA paying a record $1.7 billion in fines, penalties and damages. Now the guy who ran the company at the time wants a new job: Florida’s governor.”

The McCollum release follows:

Today, McCollum for Governor Campaign Manager Matt Williams issued the following statement on Rick Scott’s misleading attacks on Attorney General Bill McCollum regarding immigration:

“It’s sad but unsurprising that Rick Scott is so desperate to avoid questions about his own role in orchestrating the largest Medicare fraud scheme in American history that he is misleading Florida voters about Bill McCollum’s record on cracking down on illegal immigration.

“Rick Scott shamelessly distorts Attorney General McCollum’s record on cracking down on illegal immigration and opposing amnesty. This is just another case of fraud by a man whose company was forced to pay a record $1.7 billion in fines for defrauding taxpayers, before being forced out by his own board.

“We challenge Rick Scott to do what he has yet to do in more than a month of running millions in television ads – come before the press to clear his name. He won’t because he can’t. He’s a fraud.

“In August, Florida voters will have a clear choice between Bill McCollum, a candidate who has fought fraud as Florida’s Attorney General, and Rick Scott, a candidate who has committed it.”


Today, Rick Scott launched a massive statewide television ad buy attacking Attorney General McCollum, distorting his position and record on illegal immigration. It’s clear the Scott Campaign is desperately reaching to change the conversation from the headlines on his candidacy this week:

SOUTH FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL: “It was and still is the biggest Medicare fraud case in U.S. history and ended with the hospital giant Columbia/HCA paying a record $1.7 billion in fines, penalties and damages. Now the guy who ran the company at the time wants a new job: Florida’s governor.” (SOUTH FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL, 5/21/10)
SUN-SENTINEL: “Rick Scott was co-founder and CEO of Columbia/HCA in the 1990s, when the FBI launched a massive, multi-state investigation that led to the company pleading guilty to criminal charges of overbilling the government.” (SOUTH FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL, 5/21/10)
SUN-SENTINEL: ““Among the fraudulent practices uncovered: billing Medicare and Medicaid for unnecessary lab tests, creating false diagnoses to claim a higher reimbursement and charging for marketing and advertising costs that were disguised as community education.” (SOUTH FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL, 5/21/10)

Global Cooling?


By Greg Pollowitz

Investor’s Business Daily:
Climate Science: Noted scientists at a Chicago climate conference declare that global warming is not only dead, but that the planet faces a big chill for decades to come. What about those frozen wind turbines?

It’s not exactly Copenhagen or Kyoto, but the 700 scientists attending the fourth International Conference on Climate Change, sponsored by the Heartland Institute, had some chilling news of their own in the most liberal sense.

“Global warming is over — at least for a few decades,” Don Easterbrook, emeritus professor of geology at Western Washington University, told the gathering. “However, the bad news is that global cooling is even more harmful to humans than global warming, and a cause for greater concern.”

Easterbrook and 74 other presenters at the conference said what everyone already knows, having shoveled record amounts of global warming off our sidewalks and driveways last winter.

The rest here.

Rove: A Bad Day for the Obama Agenda

Thursday, 20 May 2010 09:17 AM

Karl Rove concludes, "Tuesday's election results reflect an anti-Washington, anti-Obama, anti-establishment feeling among voters, but they also reflect the candidates' individual winning messages," according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.Case-in-point says Rove is Kentucky's GOP primary, where tea party activist Rand Paul won the Republican nomination to replace retiring Sen. Jim Bunning. "Dr. Paul's emphasis on fiscal issues trumped Mr. Grayson's emphasis on biography. The sluggish economy, combined with Mr. Obama's budget-busting agenda, sparked a populist reaction that Dr. Paul tapped with attacks on deficits, spending and special interests," notes Rove. The defeat of Republican-turned-Democrat Arlen Specter shows opportunistic politicians are rarely trusted or accepted, Rove concludes."The Democratic theory that voter anger would fade or burn out once health care was passed was wrong-headed and was undermined Tuesday. That anger remains and likely will persist through the November elections," he adds.To read the full Wall Street Journal story Go Here Now.

Social Security numbers, Identity theft
Obama’s Waterloo
By Jayme Evans Monday, May 17, 2010

If recently published reports are true, and I have no reason to doubt they are, then the judgment, reputation and credibility of many a journalist and politician have been irrevocably destroyed along with the myths planted by Barack Obama, who apparently has a great deal of explaining to do about who he is, where he came from and why he’s using another person’s Social Security number.

In a May 11, 2010 article, WorldNetDaily’s Jerome Corsi reports that two independent investigations by two different investigators in two different states (using two different data sources) discovered that the Social Security number used by Barack Obama mysteriously coincides with Social Security numbers verified to have been issued by the state of Connecticut between 1977 and 1979, a full two years after Obama’s first, publicly-documented record of employment at a Hawaii Baskin-Robbins back in 1975. OUCH.

For over a year, those who value the Constitution and still possess critical thinking skills have insisted that something in Barack Obama’s records (or, rather what isn’t in Obama’s records) stinks to High Heaven. As a result of that public skepticism, we’ve been viciously attacked by so-called “journalists”, politicians, pundits and Obama’s base. Some who dared question, like Lt. Col. Terry Lakin, even face career-ending prosecutions as a result.

Lakin’s story has been completely ignored by the mainstream media. A US Army officer defying orders, challenging the legitimacy of the President of the United States and facing court-martial is a huge international story by any measure. It garnered 196,008 hits on Yahoo and 146,000 hits on Google. But, for the Associated Press, it’s quite a different story. Despite their empty protestations of the people’s right to know, not one single hit on the search term “Lt. Col. Terry Lakin” was found in the AP’s exhaustive, world-wide archives:
It matters not if Barack Obama stonewalls, if the AP ignores the story or if Bill O’Reilly wishes it away; for it does appear that the smoking gun pointing to Obama’s illegitimacy may have finally been located, although O’Reilly’s journalistic giblets and his apology to the good Lt. Col. remain MIA. O’Reilly’s dismissal of those wanting Obama to prove his eligibility is no different than politicians dismissing Tea Party concerns over health care cost or effects without reading the bill; willful ignorance. Unfortunately for the O’Reillys of the world who have staked their professional reputations on the silly notion that the issue had been resolved by a newspaper ad, it hasn’t.
The evidence uncovered by these two private investigators was arrived at independently and fits perfectly with the numerous allegations of forged documentation made previously, particularly Obama’s Selective Service registration.

Those who dismissed this issue poo-pooed the Constitutional question as trite and irrelevant.
They said the election decided the issue.
They said Barack Obama had been vetted.
They said the issue of his eligibility had been “raised, vetted, blogged, texted, twittered, and otherwise massaged by America’s vigilant citizenry”.
They said we were kooks; that there were more important issues we needed to consider.
They alleged a huge “birther” conspiracy cooked up by racist Neanderthals who also believed the Earth was flat.
If this report is true, Barack Obama committed the crime of identity theft and quite likely used the poison fruits of that crime to usurp the office of President of the United States, just like I and others who had the courage to go on record had said he did.

But I’ll go a step further: He couldn’t pull something like this off alone. He would have needed help forging documents and forming the alleged conspiracy. Besides his inner circle, that help would have lurked within Health and Human Services, the Social Security Administration or another federal agency. His co-conspirators must be tracked down, arrested, tried and if found guilty, they must be thrown in the US Army’s Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth along with this phony. All social security numbers used by the usurper must be traced to their points of origin and any discrepancies must be investigated, punished and fully disclosed in a public forum.

These two investigators stand solidly behind their claims. The time for concrete answers to the questions surrounding just who America elected in 2008 are long overdue. The evidence that he isn’t who he says he is has now become too overwhelming to ignore. The damage he’s doing to our economy and social structure is far too extensive to allow this evil charade to continue any longer.

Senator Jim DeMint said that health care legislation would be Obama’s Waterloo. DeMint was right that there would be a Waterloo, but health care wasn’t it. Nor will it be energy, jobs, taxes, Cap and Trade, free speech, or any other 1,000-page legislative priority. It won’t even be his birth certificate. It will quite likely be two other pieces of documentation, both of which he subverted for his own twisted aims; a social security number and the US Constitution.

A Cry Across America! VIDEO 

See the lower left corner of Obama's CERTIFICATION of Live Birth form and the same corner on the other two examples. This indicates there was insufficient evidence back in 1961 to complete the birth registration process.

Hawaii is covering this up for political reasons to protect Obama. Only they know the ultimate reasons they are all willing to commit Misprision of Felony at this point in time given the mounting evidence that Obama was not physically born in Hawaii. Obama may have amended his record since 1961 to try to reinforce and cover up the original fraudulent filing. But his online COLB clearly shows that when it was FILED it was never finally ACCEPTED. This is a national disgrace that our entire system of laws including the Constitution and all legal records are being subverted and subordinated to cover up for Obama's continued fraud on the nation as to his true legal identity. What is so important about this one man that Hawaii is willing to see the nation destroyed by his corruption and lies from birth by his family and continued on all his life by Obama. The man is a grifter and conman. See this catalog of evidence that shows by the preponderance of the evidence that Hawaii and the nation are the victims of birth registration fraud by Obama's family in 1961: http://puzo1.blogspot.com/2010/05/catalog-of-evidence-concerned-americans.html

As previously reported HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE. Obama's campaign posted 4 different images of a Certification of Live Birth on the Internet. Several document and computer image experts have deemed the Obama COLB(s) as fakes. If you have not yet researched the Obama COLB then this report from the Post & Email will explain it point by point.
Via the Post & Email; - Obama’s Forged “Certification of Live Birth”: The Evidence - DID FACTCHECK PROVIDE THE LINK BETWEEN THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN AND THE 2008 PASSPORT FILE BREACHES? ...must read report HERE. ...and HERE & HERE & HERE.Before you go there check out the 4 different Obama COLBs posted online by Obama's campaign. Also, if you missed it, meet the only 2 people to examine the Factcheck.org COLB(s), and one of them wasn't Bill O'Reilly;1) Daily Kos COLB; http://palabre.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/bo_birth_certificate-kos.jpg 2) Fight the Smears COLB; http://www.fightthesmears.com/images/28.jpg 3) Factcheck.org COLB with seal; http://www.factcheck.org/UploadedFiles/birth_certificate_5.jpg 4) Factcheck.org COLB without seal; http://www.factcheck.org/UploadedFiles/birth_certificate_3.jpg Everyone must view all the research compiled at this site; http://nobarack08.wordpress.com/ Flashback from the Right Side of Life; Meet the only 2 people to ever "examine" Obama's SHORT-FORM COLB's. The two FactCheck.org employees who were granted access to Obama’s bogus Certification of Live Birth (COLB) are NOT document examiners or experts. Joe Miller has a Ph. D. in Political Philosophy — so he’s a political operative — while Jess Henig has an M.A. in English Literature — I’m not sure her dye-job is a political or esthetic statement.They are a couple of partisan Obots — just what you’d expect — Jess took the photos presented on their webpage and did all of the writing, while Bob basically held the COLB open for Jess to photograph — suitable work for a Ph. D.Those two are completely unqualified to perform any kind of forensic examination of any document, and FactCheck.org knows it — and so do Henig and Miller.FactCheck does say their, “representatives got a chance to spend some time with the ‘birth certificate,’ and we can attest to the fact that it is real and three-dimensional and resides at the Obama headquarters in Chicago.” In my mind, that clearly shows they were working with and for the Obama Campaign and that Obama and his people are involved in this lie. Much more HERE.
The idiots I have to put up with!
"So Patricia Decosta was issued a State of Hawaii Certificate of Live Birth in 1930?Pretty impressive considering they didn't become a state until 1959. "
People werre born in Hawaii before 1959. Didn't it occur to you that after 1959 the State of Hawaii would issue a COLB of that 1930 birth?
Please note that the person born in 1930 had a COLB printed on a form revised in November of 2001.
Geez! Obots are so stupid.
Think before you post. You will look less foolish tnat way.
Posted by Sam and Bunny Sewell at 4:03 PM 5 comments: Links to this post Census Provided Names and Addressess To Law


Confirmed: Census Bureau Gave Up Names of Japanese-Americans in WWI Despite decades of denials, government records confirm that the U.S. Census Bureau provided the U.S. Secret Service with names and addresses of Japanese-Americans during World War II.
The Census Bureau surveys the population every decade with detailed questionnaires but is barred by law from revealing data that could be linked to specific individuals. The Second War Powers Act of 1942 temporarily repealed that protection to assist in the roundup of Japanese-Americans for imprisonment in internment camps in California and six other states during the war. The Bureau previously has acknowledged that it provided neighborhood information on Japanese-Americans for that purpose, but it has maintained that it never provided “microdata,” meaning names and specific information about them, to other agencies.
A new study of U.S. Department of Commerce documents now shows that the Census Bureau complied with an August 4, 1943, request by Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau for the names and locations of all people of Japanese ancestry in the Washington, D.C., area, according to historian Margo Anderson of the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee and statistician William Seltzer of Fordham University in New York City. The records, however, do not indicate that the Bureau was asked for or divulged such information for Japanese-Americans in other parts of the country.
Anderson and Seltzer discovered in 2000 that the Census Bureau released block-by-block data during WW II that alerted officials to neighborhoods in California, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho and Arkansas where Japanese-Americans were living. “We had suggestive but not very conclusive evidence that they had also provided microdata for surveillance,” Anderson says.
The Census Bureau had no records of such action, so the researchers turned to the records of the chief clerk of the Commerce Department, which received and had the authority to authorize interagency requests for census data under the Second War Powers Act. Anderson and Seltzer discovered copies of a memo from the secretary of the treasury (of which the Secret Service is part) to the secretary of commerce (who oversees the Census Bureau) requesting the data, and memos documenting that the Bureau had provided it [see image below].
The memos from the Bureau bear the initials “JC,” which the researchers identified as those of then-director, J.C. Capt.
“What it suggests is that the statistical information was used at the microlevel for surveillance of civilian populations,” Anderson says. She adds that she and Seltzer are reviewing Secret Service records to try to determine whether anyone on the list was actually under surveillance, which is still unclear.
“The [new] evidence is convincing,” says Kenneth Prewitt, Census Bureau director from 1998 to 2000 and now a professor of public policy at Columbia University, who issued a public apology in 2000 for the Bureau’s release of neighborhood data during the war. “At the time, available evidence (and Bureau lore) held that there had been no … release of microdata,” he says. “That can no longer be said.”
The newly revealed documents show that census officials released the information just seven days after it was requested. Given the red tape for which bureaucracies are famous, “it leads us to believe this was a well-established path,” Seltzer says, meaning such disclosure may have occurred repeatedly between March 1942, when legal protection of confidentiality was suspended, and the August 1943 request.
Anderson says that microdata would have been useful for what officials called the “mopping up” of potential Japanese-Americans who had eluded internment.
The researchers turned up references to five subsequent disclosure requests made by law enforcement or surveillance agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, none of which dealt with Japanese-Americans.
Lawmakers restored the confidentiality of census data in 1947.
Officially, Seltzer notes, the Secret Service made the 1943 request based on concerns of presidential safety stemming from an alleged March 1942 incident during which an American man of Japanese ancestry, while on a train from Los Angeles to the Manzanar internment camp in Owens Valley, Calif., told another passenger that they should have the “guts” to kill President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
The incident occurred 17 months before the Secret Service request, during which time the man was hospitalized for schizophrenia and was therefore not an imminent threat, Seltzer says.
The disclosure, while legal at the time, was ethically dubious and may have implications for the 2010 census, the researchers write in a paper presented today at the annual meeting of the Population Association of America held in New York City. The U.S. has separate agencies for collecting statistical information about what people and businesses do, and for so-called administrative functions—taxation, regulation and investigation of those activities.
“There has to be a firewall in some sense between those systems,” Anderson says. If a company submits information ostensibly for documenting national economic growth but the data ends up in the antitrust division, “the next time that census comes they’re not going to get that information,” she says.
Census data is routinely used to enforce the National Voting Rights Act and other policies, but not in a form that could be used to identify a particular person’s race, sex, age, address or other information, says former director Prewitt. The legal confidentiality of census information dates to 1910, and in 1954 it became part of Title 13 of the U.S. Code, which specifies the scope and frequency of censuses.
“The law is very different today” than it was in 1943, says Christa Jones, chief of the Census Bureau’s Office of Analysis and Executive Support. “Anything that we release to any federal agency or any organization … all of those data are reviewed,” she says, to prevent disclosures of individual information.
The Census Bureau provided neighborhood data on Arab-Americans to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in 2002, but the information was already publicly available, Jones says. A provision in the controversial Patriot Act—passed after the 9/11 attacks and derided by critics as an erosion of privacy—gives agencies access to individualized survey data collected by colleges, including flight training programs.
The Census Bureau has improved its confidentiality practices considerably in the last six decades, former director Prewitt says. He notes that census data is an increasingly poor source of surveillance data compared with more detailed information available from credit card companies and even electronic tollbooths.
Nevertheless, he says, “I think the Census Bureau has to bend over backwards to maintain the confidence and the trust of the public.” Public suspicion—well-founded or not—could undermine the collection accurate census data, which is used by sociologists, economists and public health researchers, he says.
“I’m sad to learn it,” he says of the new discovery. “It would be sadder yet to continue to deny that it happened, if, as now seems clear, it did happen. You cannot learn from and correct past mistakes unless you know about them.”

Good law. Not great, but a step in the right direction. Obviously every city in America should be checking and identifying all criminals for immigration status.

Here is what is being done in Albuquerque as of May 13:

New Law in Albuquerque
Albuquerque mayor Richard Berry announced today that everyone who is arrested in Albuquerque will have their immigration status checked, regardless of race. Berry announced the plan, which Berry characterized as a “not an immigration issue” but “a public safety issue,” to end what he called Albuquerque’s sanctuary city status.

“This plan ends the sanctuary city policy for criminals while protecting victims and witnesses,” Mayor Berry said. “By making immigration checks mandatory for everyone arrested regardless of their nationality, skin color or language, we are removing racial profiling from the equation.”
In the release mentioning the new policy, Berry made multiple references to saying this would not be racial profiling. After enacting a new, controversial immigration law, Arizona is facing financial consequences because of what critics say is racial profiling.

Alfredo Campos, the acting field office director for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Detention and Removal Operations in El Paso, said in a statement, “This is not a good day for criminal aliens who before today may have not been identified by ICE at the Metropolitan Detention Center.”

“As far as these new procedures are concerned, a person going about their day to day business has no reason to fear that they will be questioned about their legal status,” Berry said. “Further, victims and witnesses will not have their immigration status checked when they call for help or to report a crime.”

Immigration was a part of Berry’s platform as a mayoral candidate last year.

Arizona Senator Sylvia Allen Backs Governor Jan Brewer The Virtues and Contributions Of AKA Obama


Subject: What a unique way to look at things!

I certainly hope this lady is right ... maybe there is a bright spot in all this craziness, after all. . . . . . .What a, unique way, to look at things !

Written by an 82 year old, very wise, 'young' lady. She gives us a whole new slant on the amazing job that Barack Hussein Obama is doing:

That is right - I will say it, "(THANK GOD, FOR THE PRESIDENT)."
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

1. Barack Hussein Obama has destroyed the Clinton Political Machine - Driving a stake thru the heart of Hillary's Presidential aspirations - something that no Republican was never able to do. Remember when a Hillary Presidency scared the daylights out of you!

2. Barack Hussein Obama killed off the Kennedy Dynasty - No more Kennedy's trolling Washington looking for booze & women wanting rides home. American women & Freedom are safer tonight!

3. Barack Hussein Obama is destroying the Democratic Party right before our very eyes!

Dennis Moore had never lost a race - quit

Evan Bayh had never lost a race - - quit

Byron Dorgan had never lost a race - quit

Harry Reid - - - - - - soon to be GONE

These are just a handful of the Democrats whose political careers
Barack Hussein Obama has destroyed ! By the end of 2010, dozens
more will be gone.

In December of 2008, the Democrats were on the rise. In the last two election cycles they had picked up 14 senate seats & 52 house seats.
The press was touting the death of the Conservative Movement & the Republican Party. In just one year, Barack Hussein Obama put a stop to all of this & will probably give the house, if not the senate, back to the Republicans.

4. Barack Hussein Obama has completely exposed liberals & progressives for what they are. Every Generation seems to need to re-learn the lesson on why they should never actually put liberals in charge.
Barack Hussein Obama is bringing home the lesson very well.

5. Barack Hussein Obama, has brought more Americans back to conservatism than anyone since Reagan. In one year, Barack Hussein Obama has rejuvenated the Conservative movement & brought out to the streets millions of Freedom Loving Americans. Name me one other time in your life that you saw your friends & neighbors this interested in taking back America!

6. Barack Hussein Obama's amazing leadership has sparked the greatest period of sales of firearms & ammunition this country has seen. Law abiding citizens have rallied & have provided a "stimulus" to the sporting goods field while other industries have failed, faded, or moved off-shore.

7. In all honesty one year ago I was more afraid than I have been in my life. Not of the economy but of the direction our country was going. I thought Americans had forgotten what this country was all about. My neighbors, friends & strangers proved to me that my lack of confidence of the Greatness & Wisdom of the American people was flat wrong.

8. When the American People wake up, no
smooth-talking-teleprompter-reader, can fool them!

Barack Hussein Obama, WOKE-UP, these Great Americans !
Again, I want to say, Thank You, Barack Hussein Obama !

This is EXACTLY, the kind of HOPE & CHANGE, We Have So, Desperately, NEEDED !!

Personal note:
Our undercover agents always have legitimate SS#. They are set aside for that purpose so no one will be exposed. I am 69 years old and my legitimate SS# wasn’t issued until 1987. I am a member of AFIO.

Agents for other countries as well as other scoundrels have SS#s that don’t check out.

“Everything that is secret will be brought out into the open. Everything that is hidden will be uncovered. What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight. What you have whispered to someone behind closed doors will be shouted from the rooftops..” Luke 12:2

Founded in 1754 by royal charter of King George II, Columbia University is the oldest post-secondary institution in the state of New York.
(May 13, 2010) — The Columbia Treason and Sedition Trial organized by Dr. James David Manning of ATLAH Ministries with support from American Grand Jury (AGJ) begins this Friday in Harlem, NY.

Dr. Manning has stated that he has conclusive evidence that Barack Hussein Obama II never attended Columbia University and that university officials who served at the time, from 1981-83, are aware of this fact and were paid to award Obama a diploma which then became part of the life story he has provided to the public.

According to Manning, the event will begin with a march around Columbia University at 9:00 a.m. on Friday. Members of the clergy are urged to bring formal attire and bull’s horns, and other “American patriots” are urged to wear their customary work attire, including policemen, doctors, loggers, miners, and members of the military. Manning will be giving instructions when attendees have assembled at the specified location.
