When he finally completed his transformation of America into a Socialist State people finally woke up…but it was too late.

Any one of these things, in and of themselves does not really matter. But when you add them up one by one,  you get a phenomenal score that points to the fact that our Obama is determined to make America over into a Marxist/Socialist society. All of the items in the preceding paragraphs have been put into place. All can be documented very easily. Before you disavow this, please do an internet search. The last paragraph alone is not yet cast in stone.  You and I will write that paragraph.

Will it read as above or will it be a more happy ending for most of America? Personally, I like happy endings.

If you are an Obama supporter please do not be angry with me because I think your president is a socialist, but there are too many facts supporting this.  If you seek the truth you will be richer for it.

Don’t just belittle the opposition.

Search for the truth. I did.

Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Constitutionalists, Libertarians and what have you, we all need to pull together.  We all must pull together or watch the demise of a society that we all love and cherish.

If you are a religious person, pray for our nation.

Never before in the history of America have we been confronted with problems so huge that the very existence of our country is in jeopardy.

Don’t rely on most television news and what you read in the newspapers for the truth. Search the Internet.  Yes, there is a lot of bad information, lies and distortions there too, but you are smart enough to spot the fallacies.

Newspapers are a dying breed.  They are currently seeking a bailout from the government. Do you really think they are about to print the truth?

Obama praises all the television news networks except Fox who he has waged war against. There must be a reason… He does not call them down on any specifics, just a general battle against them. If they lie, he should call them out on it,  but he doesn’t.

Please find the truth. It will set you free.

Our biggest enemy is not China, Russia, or Iran. 

No, our biggest enemy is a contingent of politicians in Washington D.C..

Two Kenyan Hospitals Now Claim Obama’s Birth!

Another Kenyan Birth Certificate Surfaces!!

King George VI Hospital Staff Prepare for Royal Visit in 1952 - Kenya

A  video was released on Jan 20, 2012 by   KenyanBornObamAcorn entitled “Explosive NEW EVIDENCE on Obama’s Birth Place ~ Could this be Obama’s REAL Birth Certificate?”    It  shows another birth certificate that was discovered for Barack Obama.  This one claims he was born at King George VI Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya.  The author of the video believes that the other copy of an  Obama  birth certificate showing Barack Obama was born at Coast Province Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya acquired by Lucas Smith  is also an original and authentic.  The theory is that Barack was moved from one hospital to the other making both Kenyan birth certificates valid and genuine.

The video begins:

I found another Kenyan Birth Certificate and I’m thinking the reason there are 2 Kenyan BC’s is because I believe Obama’s mother first went to the Coast Province General Hospital, because it was right near the beach, but was later moved to another hospital closer to where the Obama’s lived.

I think that the NEXT birth certificate contains the hospital where Obama and his mother were moved.  This could explain the two birth certificates and would also explain the two stories by Obama’s grandmother and the mystery commenter named “Kitau”.

Still wondering why there are two hospitals listed, anyone have a better suggestion?

I  transcribed the letter and created a screen shot of the correspondence from a woman called Kitau from Kenya.  In it she  states her birth certificate is identical to the one Orly has.  It is assumed she is talking about the one that  Lucas Smith found and sent to all of our Congressmen.     It is unknown who Kitau is corresponding with, but she states that Orly has a verifiable birth certificate for Obama.   The content of the letter  is amazing and quite convincing.    The emphasis is mine.   (Click to enlarge screen shots.)

(14) Kitau says:

I happen to be Kenyan.  I was born 1 month before Obama at Mombasa medical center.  I am a teacher here at the MM Shaw Primary School in Kenya.

I compared my birth certificate to the one that has been put on by Taitz and mine is exactly the same.  I even have the same registrar and format.  The type is identical.

I am by nature a skeptical person.  I teach science here and challenge most things that cannot be proven.

So I went to an official registrar today and pulled up the picture on the web.  They magnified it and determined it to be authentic.  

There is even a plaque with Registrar Lavender‘s name on it as he was a Brit and was in charge of the Registrar office from 1959 until January of 1964.  The reason the date on the certificate says republic of Kenya is that we were a republic when the “copy” of  the original was ordered.

I stress the word “copy.”

My copy also has republic of Kenya.

So what you say is true about Kenya not being a republic at the time of Obama’s birth, however it was a republic when the copy was ordered.

The birth certificate is genuine.  I assure you it will be authenticated by a forensic auditor.  

We are very proud Obama was born here.

We have a shrine for him and there are many people who remember his birth here as he had a white mother.  They are being interviewed now by one of your media outlets.  

Fortunately they even have picture of his parents with him immediately after his birth at the Mombasa hospital with the hospital in the background.  It will be a proud day for us when it is proven that he was born here and a Kenyan became the most powerful man in the world.

I encourage anyone to come here and visit.

I will be happy to take and show you the pictures at the hospital myself as well as my document and many others that are identical to what Taitz posted.

God Bless.
Kitau

I haven’t seen the new birth certificate posted, so I’ve made screen shots from the video.   The 14 minute You Tube video can be watched below.

“NEW” CERTIFICATE OF BIRTH  – Barack Obama

KENYA COLONY

Application Number KCVA 112097/84

1961, Coast Province General Hospital, Mombasa District

At the bottom, it reads:  ” This document certifies and affirms that the registrant is a native-born citizen of the Kenya Colony of the United Kingdom, and is duly  a subject of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.

Certified and affirmed by Her Majesty’s Office of Vital Documents for Kenya Colony, municipality of Nairobi.”

    King George VI Hospital, Barack Hussein Obama, Male,   August 4, 1961, Father’s Name, Barack Hussein Obama [Sr.?]

Father Barack Hussein Obama Sr., Mother Stanley Ann Dunham, Attending Physician ?  Time of Birth 11:37 [am/pm?]

Mother Stanley Ann Dunham, Attending Physician?  Time 11:37.   Signature of Physician?

This photo shows the watermark that is embedded within the stationary.

Did you know that  between November 20 and December 2 of 2008, thirteen separate Hawaiian hospitals were contacted to determine if Obama had been born at their hospital.   They were asked  if Ann Dunham had been a patient or  if Barack Obama was born at their facility.    Not one hospital claimed Ann or Barack as ever having been patients.   Ann died of cancer.  Where was she hospitalized?

Obama himself couldn’t decide if he was born at Queen’s Hospital or Kapi’olani Medical Center in Honolulu, and neither could his half-sister, Maya.   The only place that documents  Obama was born in Honolulu is the DOH, and it seems they are willing to go to jail for him.

The Obama File kept a list of the hospitals that were contacted by Earth Frisk Blog in 2008.

•  Queen’s Medical Center – Honolulu, Hawaii  — Obama claims his birth hospital — Obama and Mom Never Here

• Kapi’ olani Medical Center — Obama’s sister claims Barack Obama born here — Obama and Mom Never Here

• Honolulu Shriners Hospital  — Never a patient — Mom or Obama

• Straub Clinic & Hospital  — Never a patient — Mom or Obama

• Hawaii Health Systems Corporation — Honolulu, Hawaii — Never a patient — Mom or Obama

• Cancer Institute of Maui — Wailuku, Hawaii — No Comment???

• Kuakini Hospital — Honolulu, Hawaii — Never a patient — Mom or  Obama

• Rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific — Honolulu, Hawaii — Never a patient — Mom or Obama

• St. Francis Healthcare System of Hawaii — Hawaii — Never a patient — Mom or Obama

• Straub Heatlh — Honolulu, Hawaii — Never a patient — Mom or Obama

• Tripler Medical Center — Honolulu, Hawaii — Never a patient — Mom or Obama

• Wahiawa General Hospital — Wahiawa, Hawaii — Never a patient — Mom or Obama

•  Wilcox Memorial Hospital — Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii — Never a patient — Mom or Obama

Where will they place the plaque that says,

“Barack Obama Born Here?”

Or will the placques read,

“Obama was Born Here, Here,  Here, and Here?”

The other birth certificate from Kenya can be seen here.

Explosive NEW EVIDENCE on Obama’s Birth Place ~ Could this be Obama’s REAL Birth Certificate?

#######

UPDATE: January 23, 2012

It now appears that the birth certificate while looking authentic was created by some joker back in 2009 or earlier and posted by DoctorJimbo27 . It was posted on Free Republic on July 28, 2009 and one person there analyzed the watermark information and another checked the downloaded information from the posted birth certificate. Apparently, the You Tube video producer was duped as was I.

Although I questioned the words, ” I found” in their commentary, I believed they would have done their homework to locate the originator of the document unless they were the ones that went to Kenya to get it. But at least we now know that the Obots were out to scam people early on. Our blog wasn’t created until August 14, 2009, so this BC was posted during the time another blog we were on was closed abruptly, otherwise I think we would have seen it and had a record of it. My apologies if anyone was misled by my article or the You Tube.

This is what was found by Blado At Free Republic:

“hex dump: ……Ø….

NOTICE: This image is a work of parody and political commentary. It is not a genuine government document. Barack Obama was born in Hawaii. A certified copy of his birth record is freely available online. If you thought this was Obama’s real birth certificate, a “smoking gun” proving he’s not a natural-born citizen, then congratulations. You are an idiot. I made this from scratch. It is completely fake, and no document from Kenya or the United Kingdom resembles it. ..Obama’s president, and will be for the next 3 1/2 to 7 1/2 years.

Spread the News!

Late  Wednesday afternoon  Georgia’s  Secretary of State wrote to Obama’s attorney.  He was responding to their  request that the SOS suspend the hearing.    Both Obama and his attorney believe he is above the law and doesn’t have to prove he is eligible to be on Georgia’s presidential ballot.   The SOS responded.  A short excerpt from the  letter:

However, if you and your client [Obama]  choose to suspend your participation in the OSAH proceedings, please understand that you do so at your own peril.

I certainly appreciate you contacting me about your concerns, and thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE   January  21^st, 2012

ARTICLE II SUPER PAC TO BROADCAST JANUARY 26^TH, 2012 OBAMA ELIGIBILITY HEARINGS IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA – LIVE!

Article II Political Action Committee will be on site with uncut, uncensored, complete,  live streamed,  gavel-to-gavel video coverage of the first ever “Obama” Constitutional Presidential eligibility hearings.

“The PAC saw the need to do this last month, because of the often incomplete and biased coverage of this issue by MainStream news media and recently received permission from the court,”  said Director Helen Tansey, who will personally manage on-site efforts.

The PAC describes this upcoming event as “The hearing of the century, for the (alleged) political crime of the century,” referring to the breathtaking implications of an illegal “President” in the White House or on the presidential ballot.

These proceedings could lead to the removal of the incumbent from the Georgia ballot, which would raise questions nationwide. This would be the first time that these issues and related evidence are deliberated in open court. Numerous ballot challenges have been filed in dozens of states, contesting “Obama’s” questionable eligibility, based upon natural born citizenship requirements, in Article II of the U.S. Constitution and laws in multiple states. Georgia will be one of the first states heard. This is due to the timing of challenge filings and its unique state administrative court set up to handle such matters, in a jurisdiction potentially receptive to such cases.

Three cases are being heard on one momentous day, in this order:

1.  Plaintiffs David Welden  (represented by Van Irion);

2.  Carl Swensson and Kevin Powell (represented by Mark Hatfield);

3.  David Farrar, Leah Lax, Cody Judy, Thomas Malaren, Laurie Roth (represented by Dr. Orly Taitz).

#####

Let’s pony up for the Article II PAC  We the People!  If  you intend to watch the cases live, even if you aren’t,  they can use our support and  donations!   This will be the best movie you will attend all year!   We expect some real action, drama, and ?   What stars will be there?  What stars won’t?

Call in some friends, have breakfast, lunch,  and dinner, and  keep the champagne on ice!  Pull out your party hats!   Start the popcorn!  Let the lawsuits begin!   Send a special invitation to your Representatives and Senators to join the party!

We will keep this post open for cheering and thoughts throughout the day!

Yes,  please add  your comments when you read this too!   I know you are as excited as we are.   We are thrilled that we won’t be missing out on this DAY IN HISTORY!  In fact, we  HOPE  that someone GOES DOWN in History! That would be the CHANGE we’ve been waiting for!

  Question for Obama on Thursday. 

“Are you wearing your Depends  today?”

OBAMA COMMANDED TO APPEAR

IN GEORGIA COURT

TO PROVE ELIGIBILITY!

Come one, Come All, We Are Having a Barbeque!

 January 26, 2012, 9:00 a.m., Atlanta, Georgia

Orly Taitz  won in the battle of the Georgia  Motions to Quash where Obama’s Attorney,  Michael Jablonski,  said Obama didn’t want to appear because he was to busy being pRresident!   Jablonski and Obama believed he  was above the law and because Obama was already elected, he didn’t have to prove his eligibility.   Judge Malihi disagreed  and said bring those documents too!  See you on January 26th!

Imagine the Secret Service escort to court and Obama walking in to see Sheriff Joe Arpaio standing there!   Will Sheriff Joe be taking his Cold Case Posse evidence with him to show to the judge?  Will Loretta Fuddy Duddy  think she is above the law too?  Thus far, Hawaii stated they don’t have to appear in court.   So did the person asking for an out from the Inspector General’s office.

The judge appears to be the real deal…can it be true that Obama’s  eligibility issue will finally be heard on the evidence and its merits?   Six more days will tell, until then, pray really hard for Judge Malihi to withstand all the threats and intimidation  that may be coming his way.

The judge’s decision will be posted as soon as it is available.

This is what we want to see next.

Lots of Geese!

UPDATE #1:

January 21,  2: 48 a.m. CST

People, this issue  has gotten traction.  I just checked and searched Google with the terms, ” Judge in Georgia Orders President“,  and believe it or not … there are thousands  of articles.  The search showed “About 49,100,000 results.”  Using the title of the article below, the results were shown as “About 4,370,000 results.”   Try it and see if the numbers have increased.

The first mainstream one seen was from the AP and published by ABC News of all places, and I assume that that others picked up the wired news from the AP to print.  NBC News is carrying the identical story.  Note the date error of the 21st instead of the 26th for the court date.

Ga. Judge Orders President to Appear at Hearing.
Atlanta, January 21, 2012

A judge has ordered President Barack Obama to appear in court in Atlanta for a hearing on a complaint that says Obama isn’t a natural-born citizen and can’t be president.

Ga. Judge Orders President to Appear at Hearing ATLANTA January 21, 2012 (AP)

A judge has ordered President Barack Obama to appear in court  in Atlanta for a hearing on a complaint that says Obama isn’t a natural-born citizen and can’t be president.

It’s one of many such lawsuits that have been filed across the  country, so far without success. A Georgia resident made the complaint, which is intended to keep Obama’s name off the state’s
ballot in the March presidential primary.

An Obama campaign aide says any attempt to involve the president personally will fail and such complaints around the country have no merit.

The hearing is set for Thursday before an administrative judge.

Deputy Chief Judge Michael Malihi on Friday denied a motion by the president’s lawyer to quash a subpoena that requires Obama to show up.

*******

Farrar-Welden-Swensson-Powell v Obama, Order on Motion to
Appear, Georgia Ballot Access Challenge – 1/20/2012

ORDER ON MOTION TO QUASH SUBPOENAS

Defendant, President Barack Obama, a candidate seeking the
Democratic nomination for the office of the President of the
United States, has filed a motion to quash the subpoena
compelling his attendance at the hearing on January 26, 2012.

In support of his motion, Defendant argues that “if enforced, [the subpoena] requires him to interrupt duties as President of the United States” to attend a hearing in Atlanta, Georgia. However, Defendant fails to provide any legal authority to support his motion to quash the subpoena to attend. Defendant’s motion suggests that no President should be compelled to attend a Court hearing.

This may be correct. But Defendant has failed to enlighten the Court with any legal authority. Specifically, Defendant has failed to cite to any legal authority evidencing why his attendance is “unreasonable or oppressive, or that the testimony… [is] irrelevant, immaterial, or cumulative and unnecessary to a party’s preparation or presentation at the hearing, or that basic fairness dictates that the subpoena should not be enforced.” Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 616-1-2-.19(5).

Defendant further alludes to a defect in service of the subpoena.

However, the Court’s rules provide for service of a subpoena upon a party, by serving the party’s counsel of record. Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 616-1-2-.19(4). Thus, the argument regarding service is without merit.

Accordingly, Defendant’s motion to quash is denied.

SO ORDERED, this the 20th day of January, 2012.

MICHAEL M. MALIHI, Judge

UPDATE #2:  January 25

Is this proof that Obama has no records?  His attorney wants to defy the judge’s subpoena! Not that something like this wasn’t expected. Orly posted the letter.  Emphasis is mine.

Re:  Georgia Presidential Preference Primary Hearings

Dear Secretary Kemp:

This is to advise you of serious problems that have developed in the conduct of the hearings pending before the Office of State Administrative Hearings.  At issue in these hearings are challenges that allege that President Obama is not eligible to hold or run for re-election to his office, on the now wholly discredited theory that he does not meet the citizenship requirements.  As you know, such allegations have been the subject of numerous judicial proceedings around the country, all of which have concluded that they were baseless and, in some instances – including in the State of Georgia -  that those bringing the challenges have engaged in sanctionable abuse of our legal process.

Nonetheless, the Administrative Law Judge has exercised no control whatsoever over this proceeding, and it threatens to degenerate into a pure forum for political posturing to the detriment of the reputation of the State and your Office.  Rather than bring this matter to a rapid conclusion, the ALJ has insisted on agreeing to a day of hearings, and on the full participation of the President in his capacity as a candidate.  Only last week, he denied a Motion to Quash a subpoena he approved on the request of plaintiff’s counsel for the personal appearance of the President at the hearing, now scheduled for January 26.

For these reasons, and as discussed briefly below, you should bring an end to this baseless, costly and unproductive hearing by withdrawing the original hearing request as improvidently issued.

It is well established that there is no legitimate issue here—a conclusion validated time and again by courts around the country.  The State of Hawaii produced official records documenting birth there; the President made documents available to the general public by placing them on his website.  “Under the United States Constitution, a public record of a state is required to be given ‘full faith and credit’ by all other states in the country.  Even if a state were to require its election officials for the first time ever to receive a ‘birth certificate’ as a requirement for a federal candidate’s ballot placement, a document certified by another state, such as a ‘short form’ birth certificate, or the certified long form, would be required to be accepted by all states under the ‘full faith and credit’ clause of the United States Constitution.” Maskell, “Qualifications for President and the “Natural Born” Citizenship Eligibility Requirement,” Congressional Research Service (November 14, 2011), p.41.

Nonetheless, the ALJ has decided, for whatever reason, to lend assistance through his office—and by extension, yours—to the political and legally groundless tactics of the plaintiffs.  One of the attorneys for the plaintiffs has downloaded form subpoenas which she tried to serve around the country.  Plaintiff’s attorney sent subpoenas seeking to force attendance by an office machine salesman in Seattle; seeking to force the United States Attorney to bring an unnamed “Custodian of Records Department of Homeland Security” to attend the hearing with immunization records; and asking the same U.S. Attorney to bring the same records allegedly possessed by “Custodian of Records of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.”  She served subpoenas attempting to compel the production of documents and the attendance of Susan Daniels and John Daniels, both apparently out of state witnesses, regarding Social Security records.  She is seeking to compel the Director of Health for the State of Hawaii to bring to Atlanta the “original typewritten 1961 birth certificate #10641 for Barack Obama, II, issued 08.08.1961 by Dr. David Sinclair…,” even though Hawaii courts had dismissed with prejudice the last attempt to force release of confidential records on November 9, 2011.  Taitz v. Fuddy, CA No. 11-1-1731-08 RAN.

In Rhodes v. McDonald, 670 F. Supp. 2d 1363, 1365 (USDC MD GA, 2009), Judge Clay Land wrote this of plaintiff’s attorney:

When a lawyer files complaints and motions without a reasonable basis for believing that they are supported by existing law or a modification or extension of existing law, that lawyer abuses her privilege to practice law.  When a lawyer uses the courts as a platform for political agenda disconnected from any legitimate legal cause of action, that lawyer abuses her privilege to practice law….

As a national leader in the so-called ‘birther movement,’ Plaintiff’s counsel has attempted to use litigation to provide the ‘legal foundation’ for her political agenda.  She seeks to use the Court’s power to compel discovery in her efforts force the President to produce a ‘birth certificate’ that is satisfactory to herself and her followers.” 670 F. Supp. 2d at 1366.

All issues were presented to your hearing officer—the clear-cut decision to be on the merits, and the flagrantly unethical and unprofessional conduct of counsel—and he has allowed the plaintiffs’ counsel to run amok.  He has not even addressed these issues—choosing to ignore them.  Perhaps he is aware that there is no credible response; perhaps he appreciates that the very demand made of his office—that it address constitutional issues—is by law not within its authority.  See, for example, Flint River Mills v. Henry, 234 Ga. 385, 216 S.E.2d 895 (1975); Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 616-1-2-.22(3).

The Secretary of State should withdraw the hearing request as being improvidently issued.  A referring agency may withdraw the request at any time.  Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 616-1-2-.17(1).  Indeed, regardless of the collapse of proceedings before the ALJ, the original hearing request was defective as a matter of law.  Terry v. Handel, 08cv158774S (Superior Court Fulton County, 2008), appeal dismissed, No. S09D0284 (Ga. Supreme Court), reconsideration denied, No. S09A1373.  (“The Secretary of State of Georgia is not given any authority that is discretionary nor any that is mandatory to refuse to allow someone to be listed as a candidate for President by a political party because she believes that the candidate might not be qualified.”) Similarly, no law gives the Secretary of State authority to determine the qualifications of someone named by a political party to be on the Presidential Preference Primary ballot.  Your duty is determined by the statutory requirement that the Executive Committee of a political party name presidential preference primary candidates.  O.C.G.A. § 21-2-193.  Consequently, the attempt to hold hearings on qualifications which you may not enforce is ultra vires.

We await your taking the requested action, and as we do so, we will, of course, suspend further participation in these proceedings, including the hearing scheduled for January 26.

Very truly yours,

RE: Georgia Presidential Preference Primary Hearings

Dear Mr. Jablonski:

I received your letter expressing your concerns with the manner in which the Office of State Administrative Hearings (“OSAH”) has handled the candidate challenges involving your client and advising me that you and your client will “suspend” participation in the administrative proceeding. While I regret that you do not feel that the proceedings are appropriate, my referral of this matter to an administrative law judge at OSAH was in keeping with Georgia law, and specifically O.C.G.A. § 21-2-5.

As you are aware, OSAH Rule 616-1-2-.17 cited in your letter only applies to parties to a hearing. As the referring agency, the Secretary of State’s Office is not a party to the candidate challenge hearings scheduled for tomorrow. To the extent a request to withdraw the case referral is procedurally available, I do not believe such a request would be judicious given the hearing is set for tomorrow morning.

In following the procedures set forth in the Georgia Election Code, I expect the administrative law judge to report his findings to me after his full consideration of the evidence and law. Upon receipt of the report, I will fully and fairly review the entire record and initial decision of the administrative law judge. Anything you and your client place in the record in response to the challenge will be beneficial to my review of the initial decision; however, if you and your client choose to suspend your participation in the OSAH proceedings, please understand that you do so at your own peril.

I certainly appreciate you contacting me about your concerns, and thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
Brian P. Kemp
Georgia Secretary of State

So a story in today’s paper reads,

Newt Gingrich, who has emerged of late as [Mitt] Romney’s top agitator, still wanted to see Romney’s full tax return now.

“Either there’s nothing there, so why isn’t he releasing them, or there’s something there, so why is he hiding them?” Gingrich told reporters.

“What is he saying to the people of South Carolina? You’re not important enough for me to release my taxes? Nor are the people of Florida?”

South Carolina Republicans vote Saturday; Floridians on Jan. 31. Gingrich warned that if Romney’s tax returns contain some problem, President Barack Obama’s campaign would exploit it in the fall.

“You do not want a nominee who blows up in September, because in September you have no choice,” Gingrich said.

Let’s play a game and change some of the words.  Let’s imagine a story that says,

Mitt Romney, who has emerged of late as Obama’s top opponent, still wanted to see Obama’s original, certified, three-dimensional birth certificate and his college transcripts.

“Either there’s nothing there, so why isn’t he releasing them, or there’s something there, so why is he hiding them?” Romney told reporters.

“What is he saying to We the People of the United States of America? You’re not important enough for me to release my proof of eligibility for the presidency?

Americans vote soon.  Romney warned that if Obama’s birth documents or college transcripts contain some problem, Romney plans to exploit it.

“Those DemocRATS don’t want a nominee who blows up in September, because in September they have no choice,” Romney said.

If only!  But We the People can dream, can’t we? 

Based upon a question to Obama’s press secretary recently, about why Obama has never released his college transcripts (unlike many Republicans, including Bush and Romney) one blogger speculated,

Kind of awkward to release college records that show aka Obama receiving aid as an Indonesian student! 

Of course, it could have been as a Kenyan or British student!

Not surprisingly, Jay Carney dodged the question and referred reporters to “the campaign.”  Now, what are the odds that any reporter will ask the Obama campaign for those transcripts?  If any reporter has the guts of Woodward or Bernstein and does ask, what are the odds that the Obama campaign will release the transcripts? 

They can’t.  It would be “embarrassing.” 

Gaskell Romney

While I researched and wrote this article over the past week, The Post & Email published a story about a citizen who has challenged Mitt Romney’s eligibility for the presidency.   The citizen argues that Mitt Romney’s father, George W. Romney, was a Mexican citizen according to Mexican law, by virtue of his birth in that country.  The citizen further argues that it is incumbent upon Mitt Romney to prove that his father naturalized in the USA by the time of Mitt’s birth, in 1947.   

SOME BACKGROUND

According to Wikipedia:

[George W.] Romney’s grandparents were polygamous Mormons who fled the United States with their children because of the federal government’s opposition to polygamy. His maternal grandfather was Helaman Pratt (1846–1909), who presided over the Mormon mission in Mexico City before moving to the state of Chihuahua and who was the son of original Mormon apostle Parley P. Pratt (1807–1857). … Romney’s parents were American citizens Gaskell Romney (1871–1955) and Anna Amelia Pratt (1876-1926); natives of Utah, they married in 1895 in Mexico and lived in Colonia Dublán, Galeana, in the Mexican state of Chihuahua (one of the Mormon colonies in Mexico) where George was born on July 8, 1907. They practiced monogamy. George had three older brothers, two younger brothers, and a younger sister. Gaskell Romney was a successful carpenter, house builder, and farmer who headed the most prosperous family in the colony.

The family returned to the USA when George was 5 years old. In the 1920 census, George W. Romney was listed with his parents, Gaskill [sic] and Anna Romney, in Rexburg City, Idaho.  All members of the family were listed as US citizens. George was correctly reported as born in Mexico.

As I looked further into the issue of Mitt Romney’s eligibility, I was struck by the amazing difference in the way the media handled the dispute over George W. Romney’s natural born citizenship as compared to the massive media blackout, especially during campaign 2008, of the raging dispute about Barack Hussein Obama’s questionable natural born citizenship.

THE NEW YORK TIMES

The New York Times devoted quite a bit of space to questions surrounding George Romney’s eligibility for the presidency.  One would think they’d consider the questions about Barack Hussein Obama’s eligibility as crucial for an informed electorate.

How the “Grey Lady” has fallen!

Following, in chronological order, are excerpts from stories in the New York Times about George W. Romney’s natural born citizenship:

NY Times May 15, 1967 (by Earl Caldwell)

[Democrat] Representative Emanuel Celler expressed “serious doubts” yesterday as to whether Gov. George Romney of Michigan is eligible for the Presidency.  Mr. Celler called it a “wide open question” and suggested that the Republican party appoint some sort of commission to “come up with an answer to this situation. … Mr. Celler, who is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said that although he had no plans to challenge Mr. Romney’s eligibility, the question should not be allowed to go unanswered. … Most constitutional experts have held that he is eligible since his parents were United States citizens. … The Romneys never gave up their citizenship and returned to the United States … George Romney was 5 years old. … Mr. Celler suggested that a commission to rule on Mr. Romney’s eligibility be composed of “eminent professors of law, retired jurists and lawyers.

A “wide open question” that “should not be allowed to go unanswered.” 

NY Times May 16, 1967

Governor Rockefeller said yesterday that Gov. George Romney of Michigan could run for President, even though he was born in Mexico. … Rockefeller … held that the question of Governor Romney’s eligibility … was “an early case of politics. … It’s a matter of law. … Romney and all of his friends are satisfied that he is qualified. I don’t see why you need a commission.”

NY Times May 17, 1967

Governor George Romney said today that he was certain he was eligible to be President of the United States even though born in Mexico. … Former Vice President Richard M. Nixon said here last night that the Supreme Court would uphold George Romney’s eligibility to become President, even though he was born in Mexico.  The Court, he said, would never interpret the Constitution as meaning that Americans born outside the United States would be barred from the Presidency.

NY Times October 14, 1967

Gov. George Romney of Michigan is constitutionally ineligible to be President because he was born in Mexico, according to a two-part article to be published next week in The New York Law Journal. … [Romney] is ineligible because he is not a “natural born citizen” says the article by Isidor Blum, a former professor of constitutional law at New York Law School. … Blum … asserts that the framers of the Constitution intended to exclude all foreign born persons from the Presidency. … Gaskell and Anna Romney were American citizens, and their son became a citizen at birth. … The issue of whether a child born of American parents abroad can become President has never been settled in the courts.  In the past, the Justice Department has cited the writings of the late Edward S. Corwin of Princeton University as the best available opinion on the subject. Professor Corwin wrote that the term “natural born citizen” is “confined to persons born on the soil of a country,” … But Professor Corwin added that other legal principles stated that nationality was based on parentage. Professor Corwin concluded: “Should the American people ever choose for President a person born abroad of American parents, it is highly improbable that any other constitutional agency would venture to challenge their decision.” Blum … concludes that the framers of the Constitution meant “natural born” to mean “native born.” … One of Mr. Romney’s principal advisers said in a telephone interview … “We’ve given this a fair amount of consideration, and we’ve concluded that he is eligible for the office.  Myron Kandel, editor of the paper, said he had invited a dozen lawyers and law professors to comment on Mr. Romney’s eligibility. “We think this is an extremely significant question. … This dialogue is necessary.  What if Romney gets elected and the courts decide he can’t be President?”

What if?  Indeed!

NY Times October 15, 1967

Governor Romney said today that the question of his constitutional eligibility for office had been studied by lawyers and that he believed it posed no problem. … Governor  Romney said that he did not have to file any papers to become an American citizen since both his parents had been born in the United States. …

NY Times November 4, 1967

A court test of Gov. George Romney’s legal eligibility to serve as President of the United States is expected early in the 1968 New Hampshire Republican primary campaign.  If the issue is not raised by Republicans who support Richard M. Nixon or Gov. Ronald Reagan for the nomination, Mr. Romney’s backers plan to go to court themselves to try to lay the question permanently to rest. … Article II of the Federal Constitution requires that the President be a “natural-born citizen.” There has never been a legal test of whether this language would bar from the White House a child of American citizens born outside the United States. Republicans who plan to enter Mr. Romney’s name in the New Hampshire primary, the first of the campaign, early next year are confident that the courts will uphold his eligibility to serve as President.  They are concerned, however, that any doubt on this score could reduce Mr. Romney’s vote in the important primary on the theory that voters might be reluctant to vote for a man who might later be disqualified by the courts. Romney supporters in the state believe that a court action may be brought by William Loeb, publisher of The Manchester Union Leader, the largest daily newspaper in the state. … If Mr. Loeb and his allies do not go to court to enjoin the New Hampshire Secretary of State from listing Governor Romney on the primary ballot, one or more of the Governor’s Republican supporters in the state almost certainly will.  Mr. Romney’s legal advisers believe such an action could be brought by an individual Republican voter, rather than another candidate, and that the courts would decide it as long as the Romney forces agreed to waive any procedural objections, which they would do in the interest of a quick decision.  If the lawsuit were filed immediately after the earliest date for getting on the New Hampshire ballot, Jan. 12, Romney advisers believe the State Supreme Court would rule well before the balloting March 12. … Mr. Romney is reported not to be particularly enthusiastic about the court test on the ground that it tends to interject his religion into the political arena. He is being urged, however, that it is vital to settle the eligibility question as early in the Presidential competition as possible.

Wiser heads. More honest individuals.

NY Times November 5, 1967

‘Chihuahua Romney’?
Foreign events, usually related to the Vietnam war, have bedevilled the Presidential aspirations of Gov. George Romney of Michigan.  But last week he encountered troubles in the form of another foreign event–his birth.  He was born July 8, 1907, in Chihuahua, Mexico, where his American parents were living in an exile Mormon community. As the son of an American father, he was entitled by statute to American citizenship at birth.  So there was no need for him to be naturalized when his parents brought him, as a small boy, to the United States.  These events now seem likely to provide the first test in the nation’s history of a provision of Article II, Section I of the Constitution, which says, “No person except a natural born citizen … shall be eligible to the office of President. … Last week’s rumors from the hot-stove circuit in New Hampshire had it that both friends and foes of Mr. Romney’s candidacy are considering court tests of this issue … If the foes do not sue to keep his name off the ballot, the friends might, with the intention of putting the question permanently to rest.

NY Times November 15, 1967

A New York lawyer who has been a personal friend of Gov. George Romney for many years declares that contrary to some legal opinion the Michigan Governor is eligible to be President of the United States despite his birth in Mexico. Eustace Seligman, senior partner in Sullivan & Cromwell, makes the assertion in an article in today’s issue of the New York Law Journal. … “Nationality at birth may result from birth in a territory of the state, jure soli [by right of the soil], or from birth outside of the territory of the state to parents who are nationals of the state–referred to as nationality by blood, or jure sanguinis.”  This principle, according to Mr. Seligman, establishes that the phrase “natural-born citizen” covers both categories and is not limited to birth in the United States. 

NY Times January 27, 1968

Campaign aides of Gov. George Romney called today for prompt ruling by the Oregon Attorney General on whether Mr. Romney’s Mexican birth bars him from the Presidency. … The Federal Constitution requires the President to be a “natural born” citizen.  The question whether this requires a candidate to be physically born in the United States has been raised repeatedly during Mr. Romney’s campaign for the Republican Presidential nomination.”

NY Times February 6, 1968

Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton refused to rule today whether Gov. George Romney was eligible to appear on the ballot in the Oregon Presidential primary.  The ruling had been requested by the Secretary of State Clay Myers because of Governor Romney’s birth in Mexico. … Mr. Thornton said that Mr. Myers did not have to concern himself with the question in determining who shall appear on the ballot.  In Oregon, the Secretary of State places on the ballot those persons generally advocated or recognized in the national news as candidates.  In an article in The New York Law Journal last November, Eustace Seligman, senior partner in the law firm of Sullivan and Cromwell, said that Mr. Romney was eligible … despite his birth in Mexico. He cited … international law that holds that the nationality of a child born outside the parents’ country may be determined by the nationality of the parents. However, in earlier issues of the journal, Isidor Blum, a former professor of constitutional law at New York Law School, and Representative Emanuel Celler, … questioned Mr. Romney’s eligibility.”

OTHER NEWSPAPERS

The New York Times was not alone in covering the issue of George W. Romney’s natural born citizenship. The Jefferson City, Missouri, Post Tribune had this to say, way back in 1962:

Two never-defined words in the U.S. Constitution are coming up for increasing discussion as the name of George W. Romney figures in the presidential talk for 1964. The Constitution requires a president to be a “natural born” citizen of this country.  Does automaker Romney, who was born in Mexico of American parents, fill this bill. Romney himself says he does not know. … Romney’s grandparents migrated from the United States to Mexico in 1886 to escape what they considered political persecution of themselves and others of their Mormon faith.  Their son Gaskell was 14 at the time… It is certain that a foreign citizen is not eligible … It also is certain that a person born abroad of foreign parents but later naturalized is also ineligible.  But many hold that a person born of American parents is a natural born U.S. citizen.

That story goes on to explain that Herbert Hoover, although overseas doing charitable work for years prior to his election, thus not meeting the Constitution’s 14-year residency requirement, was not challenged.  The author asserts that the election of 1928 led to a consensus that the 14 years of residency need not be contiguous or immediately prior to election.

The Mansfield, Ohio, News Journal addressed the topic on May 20, 1967:

Government agencies have received so many inquiries about the meaning of the phrase “natural born citizen” in the Constitution that special studies of the matter will be issued shortly.  The question arises in connection with the eligibility of George Romney to become a candidate for President. … Romney was born July 8, 1907, in Chihuahua, Mexico, 200 miles from the u.S. border.  He was the son of U.S. citizens Gaskell and Anna (Pratt) Romney… When Romney was five years old, American families were expelled from Mexico by Pancho Villa … The Romneys, who finally settled in Salt Lake City, never relinquished their American citizenship. … Anybody who entertains ideas about sidetracking Romney had better begin reaching for the switch now.”

On May 24, 1967, the El Paso Herald Post had this to say:

[T]here is a chance that unless some determination is made meanwhile, the eligibility of Gov. George Romney (R., Mich.) to be President could be challenged at several points next year, beginning with the earliest presidential preference primary in New Hampshire … Any citizen, apparently, could go to court to question whether Romney — born of American parents in Mexico in 1907 — actually is a “natural born” citizen … Neither law nor the Constitution question Romney’s American citizenship because he was born of American parents. … If the challenge were not made on Romney’s entrance into a presidential primary, it might come at the time … of nomination or election. … Romney himself has announced he is not going to seek any formal inquiry on whether his birth in Mexico 50 years ago makes him ineligible for the presidency.  He seems already to have concluded he is eligible.

The next day, Russell Kirk of the Danville, Virginia, Register wrote:

According to the rule in Wong Kim Ark, then, Governor Romney is a “naturalized” citizen, being born abroad of American parents who were neither diplomats nor soldiers.  He is a citizen by virtue of an act of Congress that naturalizes all such children.  And he is not a “natural born citizen” of the sort specified in Article III of the Constitution. The Wong Kim Ark interpretation of these terms was sustained by federal court decisions … it could be altered only by Constitutional amendment (which is most unlikely) or by a radically different interpretation of Article III by the federal courts …

Thus, this “commentator” declared that George W. Romney WAS indeed a naturalized citizen by virtue of our “favorite” ruling (once banned from mention on this blog):  Wong Kim Ark!  He further warned that if the issue was not settled:

… Republicans would take the dread risk of choosing a candidate who might be disqualified by the courts.  Governor Nelson Rockefeller tells everybody not to worry about this trifle; Governor Romney’s staff makes confused sounds.  The delegates to the Republican national convention will have to worry about all of this.”

The “dread risk!”

QUESTIONS ABOUT MITT ROMNEY

More recently, Commander Charles Kerchner wrote about Mitt Romney’s eligibility:

When Mitt Romney was born in the USA in Detroit MI in 1947, his parents were both clearly recognized as being Citizens of the United States per the U. S. Nationality Act of 1940.  Thus Mitt was born in the USA to parents (plural) who were both citizens of the country and Mitt is a “natural born Citizen of the United States … George Romney was a Citizen of the United States  per U.S. “jus sanguinis” laws going back to the founding of our nation and also per the U.S. Nationality Act of 1940. He was born in Mexico of U.S. Citizen parents and thus George Romney is a “Citizen” at birth under U.S. laws including the U.S. Nationality Act of 1940.  Detractors claim that George Romney’s parents legally renounced their U.S. citizenship while in Mexico and thus could not pass along their U.S. Citizenship by jus sanguinis to their son George Romney. There is absolutely no evidence of that. … He was recognized by all U.S. laws as a U.S. Citizen long before 1940 but the National Act of 1940 … clearly stated that people in George Romney’s status were citizens of the United States at birth.  That act was adopted 7 years prior to Mitt Romney being born in Detroit MI.  George Romney was not eligible.  Mitt is eligible.

A recent story in the Washington Post explains that

Constitutional law experts say George Romney’s eligibility probably would be upheld today, because his parents retained their U.S. citizenship. “Otherwise, fortuity of birth circumstances might deprive the electorate of the best available candidate,” said Peter Spiro, a citizenship expert at Temple University. “But no doubt some folks would raise the question in the same way it was raised in 1968.”

MORE FACTS ABOUT GEORGE ROMNEY

George W. Romney traveled extensively before Mitt Romney was born, so he must have had a U.S. passport. Was he a listed as a U.S. citizen on his passport?  Most certainly he was a U.S. citizen by the time he became Governor of Michigan.

George W. Romney is listed in the Social Security Death Index:

George ROMNEY
Birth Date: 8 Jul 1907
Death Date: 26 Jul 1995
Social Security Number:  577-10-6742
State or Territory Where Number Was Issued:  District of Columbia
Death Residence Localities
ZIP Code: 48304
Localities:  Bloomfield, Oakland, Michigan
Bloomfield Hills, Oakland, Michigan
Bloomfield Township, Oakland, Michigan
Bloomfield Twp, Oakland, Michigan

Wikipedia says that George W. Romney

worked for Massachusetts Democratic U.S. Senator David I. Walsh during 1929 and 1930, first as a stenographer using speedwriting, then, when his abilities at that proved limited, as a staff aide working on tariffs and other legislative matters. Romney researched aspects of the proposed Hawley-Smoot tariff legislation and sat in on committee meetings; the job was a turning point in his career and gave him lifelong confidence in dealing with Congress. … When [Lenore] LaFount [his future wife], an aspiring actress, began earning bit roles in Hollywood movies, Romney arranged to be transferred to Alcoa’s Los Angeles office as a salesman. … The couple married on July 2, 1931, at Salt Lake City Temple. They would have four children: Margo Lynn (born 1935), Jane LaFount (born 1938), George Scott (born 1941), and Willard Mitt (born 1947). 

If George Romney were not a citizen by 1931, wouldn’t his marriage to U.S. citizen LaFount make him so?  His work for the government in DC explains why he got his Social Security number there, instead of in Michigan.  He was a federal employee during the 1930s.  Would he not have to be a U.S. citizen?  Would not his citizenship be noted on any of the papers he filled out for the job?

George W. Romney lived in the United Kingdom, doing missionary work, prior to his work in DC.  Again, what passport did he have and what citizenship did it specify?

We know from a contemporaneous news story that as of October 15 1967, George W. Romney hadn’t filed any particular papers to make himself a citizen.    So all depends upon whether or not US law automatically repatriated children if their parents repatriated, or if Gaskell truly lost his citizenship when he went to Mexico.  Multiple news stories state that he did not relinquish his American citizenship.  It also depends upon whether or not Kerchner is correct that the U.S. Nationality Act of 1940 made George W. a naturalized citizen.  In the end, George W. Romney was not nominated for the presidency.

WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE

Consider how differently the New York Times covers the issue of Obama’s ineligibility today! 

To date, there are 4 stories since 1851 in their archives that mention the name Malihi (the surname of the judge in a case that seeks to keep Obama off the Georgia primary ballot because his father was never a U.S. citizen and because Obama was born a British subject).  Not one of these stories concerns the ballot issue.  All refer to Iranian men, not the Georgia administrative judge of the same surname. 

Similarly, there are 14 articles that mention Dr. Orly Taitz.  A quick examination reveals that most contain references  to “birthers,” “Birther Queen,” “bleached blond,” “Republican cranks,” and “conspiracy theories.”  Almost every one of the articles is on a blog or is an opinion piece, as compared to the many straight news stories that the NY Times carried about Romney, back in the 1960s.  Here’s just a taste from one article:

She looks like a young Carol Channing, sounds like an overexcited Zsa Zsa Gabor, and has the ability to make absurd accusations with a completely straight face. By midsummer, Taitz was appearing regularly on CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC, a decision the news channels justified with the risible pretext of needing to be fair to those on “both sides” of an issue about which there was nothing up for debate—at least not in the real world. Before long, mainstream on-air personalities like Lou Dobbs were pimping the story as hard as Taitz or any of her allies were, to equally comical effect.

So with regard to  Obama’s ineligibility, there’s “nothing up for debate.”  How ridiculous!  Consider that unlike George Romney, nobody knows for certain where Obama was born but we do know for certain that his father was NOT a U.S. citizen and that Obama was BORN a British subject, later to become a Kenyan citizen as well as an Indonesian citizen.  How do we know? Obama himself told us so.

Yet anyone who even debates Obama’s eligibility doesn’t live “in the real world.”  To simply question Obama’s eligibility is “risible.”  Such questions are “absurd accusations.”

Compare the tone of that article to the tone of the many news articles that warned about George W. Romney’s potential ineligibility.  Consider the seriousness with which they reported the words of the many “constitutional experts” who questioned Romney’s natural born citizenship.

It’s a travesty.

Whatever became of their concern about the danger of having a president declared ineligible after the election? 

In the late 1960s, the Republicans were warned of that danger by an alert media; yet in 2008, the Democrats were aided and abetted by a complicit media that ignored the questions and actually helped them to demonize the citizens who rightfully asked them. 

How can we explain the difference?

Was it racism against Mexicans that caused the mainstream media to question George W. Romney’s citizenship?  Was it bias against persons born in Mexico?  Or was it prejudice against Romney’s Mormon religion?

These are the exact accusations thrown out by the mainstream media against those who question Obama’s eligibility. We’re excoriated and ridiculed as “birthers”.  We’re warned not to mention that Obama was Muslim when he was a child. We’re called racists and bigots because, they say, we question his “citizenship”, when in actuality it’s his natural born citizenship that we question, exactly like the mainstream media questioned George W. Romney’s natural born citizenship during the 1960s. 

For the record: I’m not a Mitt Romney supporter. I prefer Michele Bachmann or Rick Santorum. I am, however, interested in truth and fairness. I agree that it is incumbent upon Romney to present the paperwork that will prove that he is eligible for the presidency.  The same holds true for Barack Hussein Obama II, who has YET to produce a 3-D, certified, verifiable birth certificate that will show us, his employers, who he is, as well as where he was born, and whether or not he meets the Constitutional requirements to be president.  We have our doubts.

Note: This post was corrected after publication, when I realized that the Gaskell Romney who registered for the draft in 1918 must have been another Gaskell, not George W.’s father.  Gaskell Maurice Romney, born 1897, listed Gaskell Romney as his closest relative. If he was George W. Romney’s brother, then it’s interesting to consider that the U.S. government considered him a U.S. citizen for purposes of the draft.

Update 1/17/2012:  I’ve since learned that Gaskell Maurice Romney was indeed the son of Gaskell Samuel Romney, and so the younger Gaskell was the brother of George W. Romney.  Since their parents married in Mexico and George was born there, then it’s logical to assume that his older brothers were also born in Mexico. Thus, in 1918, the U.S. government considered Gaskell Maurice to be a citizen of the USA.  Gaskell had to register for the draft and on his registration, he’s listed as a citizen of the US.  George would likely have registered, too, had he been old enough for WWI; and as likely, he would have been listed as a US citizen, despite his birth in Mexico.

Update #2 for 1/27/2012:  h/t to Bridgette:  The 1930 Mexican census lists a number of members of the Romney family. These are some of those who remained in Mexico when George W. Romney’s family returned to the USA.  These Romneys were listed on the Mexican census as “Americano”, specifically not as Mexicans.  The column headings allowed for (23) Mexican citizens; (24) if an alien, state actual nationality; and (25) if previously held another nationality, state that nationality.   The instructions for the census takers appear to indicate that when a dependent child was born in Mexico, his nationality would be listed as the nationality of his parents.  Thus, as you can see for one of those Romneys who was born in Mexico, he was still listed on this official Mexican government document as an AMERICAN, not as a Mexican citizen.  The rest of the Romneys on that page were all listed as Americans, no matter where they were born. So, as of 1930, nearly two decades after George W. Romney’s family returned to the USA, their relatives in Mexico were STILL NOT Mexican citizens.  At least, that’s my take on it. If anyone translates or interprets this page differently, please feel free to correct me.

The Mysteries as Voiced by Ms. TuTu Farcical

Pythian Oracle

As the year began  in  2010,  Ms.  Tutu Farcical of the Oracle wrote an article that we thought should be revisited.  We thought it would be interesting to see if any of the questions plaguing us at the time from 2008 – 2009  were answered during the last two years.   Not only have  most of them not been addressed, but we could easily add more questions that have arisen since her initial publication.

It should be noted that Ms. Farcical is not a forward-looking prophetic woman.  Instead she looks deep into the past, connects fragments of information, and spits out her visions in questions, often riveting, often seeing, and always fascinating.   She is a seer of the past, but may have visions of the future.  We sometimes believe her questions arise from the Oracle’s vapors that erupt from the earth.  An engaging personality is our own Ms. Farcical, a prophetess whose past includes  stints as Carnac the Magnificent’s  stand-in  for years.

We are as shocked at rereading these unanswered questions presented by Ms. Farcical  as you may be.  A full two years has passed  and as questions mount these cases remain. The greatest and most looming mystery remains today as it was then, “Who is Barack Obama?”  

Furthermore, these unsolved crimes and stories  prove that the media or investigative journalists (as they like to call themselves)  haven’t done their jobs!  They haven’t investigated any of these perplexing questions posed by Ms.  TuTu Farcical.  Many within the writers community  believed these stories would be  swept under the carpet and no one would notice.

Ah ha, but we  noticed.

Ms. Tutu Farcical of the Oracle  has recently consulted the powers that be by viewing into her brand new bowling ball and is busy compiling a new list of unsolved murders, mysteries, and convoluted stories.  You can help.   Please add your two cents from the “change”  left in your pockets to the discussion. We welcome all newcomers to participate! Make this your year to add a comment or two.

Isn’t She Just TuTu Much?

APOLOGIES TO OUR READERS FOR REPORTING OLD NEWS!  Unfortunately, this story is from 2006.  I (Miri) did not do the “due diligence” to check exactly when “yesterday” was!  My bad. 

But it’s a cautionary tale–for me as well as for those of us who  need to keep on top of this issue.  It seemed SO TRUE at first glance, because of …

well, because of everything. 

So, NEVERMIND!  I’m so sorry for misleading everybody and getting you all “wee wee’ed up!” 

I’ll leave the story here, with a few changes, so y’all know what we WERE mistakenly talking about. 

This story, from the Washington Times, explained it all (some emphasis and editorial snarks added):

The Senate voted yesterday [in 2006!] to allow illegal aliens to collect Social Security benefits based on past illegal employment — even if the job was obtained through forged or stolen documents. … [This is known as the Uncle Omar Obama Clause. Just kidding!]

“There was a felony they were committing, and now they can’t be prosecuted. That sounds like amnesty to me,” said Sen. John Ensign, the Nevada Republican who offered the amendment yesterday to strip out those provisions of the immigration reform bill. “It just boggles the mind how people could be against this amendment.”

Indeed it does boggle SANE minds:  Those who honor our LAWS and our Constitution.  The Ensign amendment was defeated 50 to 49. 

For kicks, guess who said this:

The Ensign amendment would undermine the work of these people by preventing lawfully present immigrant workers from claiming Social Security benefits that they earned before they were authorized to work in our community. If this amendment were enacted, the nest egg that these immigrants have worked hard for would be taken from them and their families.

RINO John McCain.  Maybe it’s just me, but I think they deserve the penalty of LOSING their so-called “nest egg,” especially given that many of us are going to lose ours, or at least part of ours, because this Congress just will NOT stop spending our “nest eggs.”  Illlegal aliens should lose what they “contributed” as the price of breaking our laws.  What part of illegal alien does McCain not understand?  Then there’s this:

Sen. Patrick J. Leahy, Vermont Democrat, said it would be unfair to deny illegals the benefits.

“We should not steal their funds or empty their Social Security accounts,” he said. “That is not fair. It does not reward their hard work or their financial contributions. It violates the trust that underlies the Social Security Trust Fund.” … [No, they violated the LAW. And I doubt that any of the DemocRATS have changed their minds since.]

On Wednesday, senators narrowly approved an amendment to require a foreign worker to have a job lined up in the United States before applying for a green card. The purpose, supporters say, is to ensure that the job market isn’t flooded with foreign workers. Also, it prevents foreign workers from coming to the United States only to wind up unemployed and dependent on public assistance.

But yesterday, the Senate essentially gutted that amendment by allowing foreign workers to apply for permanent residency without having a job lined up.

“What that means is that up to 200,000 unskilled workers a year would become eligible for a green card, regardless of economic conditions, regardless of whether that worker has been actually employed for four years, and most importantly, regardless of whether there are unemployed U.S. workers available to fill those jobs,” said Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Republican.”

This would be welcome news (NOT) to all the hard-working soon-t0-be CITIZEN retirees who face cuts to their Social Security benefits because Congress has seen fit to STEAL their “nest eggs”, leaving behind IOUs that they cannot or will not honor.  Where will AARP come down on this debate?

Obama’s Ballot Challenge Makes Media Headlines!

FOX News Reports on Obama’s Ballot Challenge in 2012!

Bret Baier FOX News

In Friday’s newscast, Bret Baier reported on the Farrar et.al. v Barack Obama  lawsuit that challenges having Obama’s name on Georgia’s presidential primary ballot.   On December 15, 2011,  President Barack Obama, Defendant, moved for dismissal of  the Plaintiffs’ challenge to his qualifications for office.   In the last couple  of days, we got great news that the Motion to Sever by the Obama Administration in Georgia’s  Obama Ballot Challenge Lawsuit  was denied by Judge Michael M. Malihi. The important paragraphs  were the following.

6. Code Section 21-2-5(a) states that “every candidate for federal and state office” must meet the qualifications for holding that particular office, and this Court has seen no case law limiting this provision, nor found any language that contains an exception for the office of president or stating that the provision does not apply to the presidential preference primary.

8. Accordingly, this Court finds that Defendant is a candidate for federal office who has been certified by the state executive committee of a political party, and therefore must, under Code Section 21-2-5, meet the constitutional and statutory qualifications for holding the office being sought.

II. Decision Based on the foregoing, the motion to dismiss is DENIED.

SO ORDERED, this the 3rd day of January, 2012.

MICHAEL M. MALIHI,  Judge”

We are thrilled to see the word DENIED in a lawsuit challenged by the Obama team!  Say it again, Denied, Denied, Denied.  It seems to trip so easily off your lips.   Louder now for the Obots:  DENIED, DENIED, DENIED!

As part of this same lawsuit, Hawaii’s DOH was Issued a Subpoena For Obama’s Original Birth Certificate and the 1961 Microfiche Roll!  Loretta Fuddy was commanded to appear in Atlanta on January 16 – 18, 2012.  She is to produce the following:

Original typewritten 1961 birth certificate #10641 for Barack Obama, II, issued 8.08.1961, signed by Dr. David Sinclair, Stanley Ann Dunham Obama and registrar Lee, stored in the Health Department of the State of HI from 1961 until now, as well as the microfiche roll for August 1961, containing above document.

This week’s news can only get better and it has!  

This sentence was attributed to the Birthers, but that word doesn’t matter in this instance.  Bret said,  “He [Obama] is Not a Natural Born Citizen” on national TV!    Yes, the issue of NBC hit prime time!  Also attributed to the infamous Birthers was that the birth certificate is believed to be a FAKE.  His voice inflections were telling.

Indeed, this was a two-fer night!  In fact, we should have a Birther’s  “Coming Out” Parteee!  For all those who want the truth, but have been afraid of the Left’s ridicule.  The Alinsky tables can be turned, turned, turned.

Will we hear apologies from the likes of the adamant deniers such as O’Reilly, Laura Ingraham, Megan Kelly, and Glenn Beck?   They all did such great investigative work on the issue, didn’t they.  They had crack researchers, yes,  the best in the business,  we were told.  How about the liars from the Left like Anderson Cooper at CNN?   How will they face their audiences and tell them we really didn’t investigate, we invented the information we presented?  Will some of our Congressmen and Congresswomen finally get some guts to stand for our Constitution and our nation of laws?

Will  Judge Malihi be the one that puts our nation back on an even keel?   Our prayers are with the judge that he remain stalwart, steadfast, and honorable.  We pray that he does not cave to bribes, threats , or intimidation by the Obama thugs.  He has our whole nation in his hands!

The following broadcast was transcribed from You Tube in case it is suddenly scrubbed.  Thank you, Bret Baier and FOX!

Fresh Pickings from the Grapevine.

“A state judge in Georgia has DENIED a motion by the Obama
Administration to dismiss a complaint challenging the pResident’s eligibility to be on the ballot there.

Attorney Orly Taitz filed the complaint back in November, [2010] on behalf of a Georgia resident contending President Obama is  NOT  a Natural Born Citizen and, therefore, should NOT be on the March presidential primary in Georgia.

You will remember that last year the White House released  the pResident’s  long form birth certificate. However, Taitz, along with many others in the so-called “Birther Movement” is  still not satisfied.  Some in that movement call it a FAKE, others say that the real issue is that he is NOT a Natural Born Citizen.

A hearing has now been set for January 26th.  The pResident’s lawyer in Atlanta says that he is optimistic that the judge will decide in the pResident’s favor.
