Patrick Fitzgerald apolitical?, Fitzgerald attacked Republicans protected Obama, Chicago Tribune protecting Obama?
From the Chicago Tribune August 28, 2011.
“Patrick Fitzgerald’s decade
His apolitical ground war against public corruption argues for keeping
patronage out of these appointments.”
“Which brings us to an excellent argument for keeping these
appointments apolitical: If the traditional patronage system of naming
U.S. attorneys in Chicago consistently had produced the best possible
top prosecutors, would the Illinois culture of political sleaze have
become as rampant, as pervasive, as it had grown by the turn of this
century?”
“U.S. attorneys nationwide serve at the pleasure of the president. Thus
far the current one, Barack Obama, has kept his campaign promise to
leave Fitzgerald in Chicago rather than replace him or, almost as bad,
promote him to oblivion higher in the U.S. Department of Justice.”
“Until he says otherwise, then, we trust that Patrick Fitzgerald will
keep rolling out indictments where they’re warranted.”

Is it a coincidence that this story, praising Patrick Fitzgerald for being apolitical, came out the same day that Colin Powell blasted Dick Cheney and his book that reveals the truth about what Powell knew about the Valerie Plame outing and the involvement of Patrick Fitzgerald?
Patrick Fitzgerald apolitical? Hardly!
Why would Obama want Fitzgerald to leave Chicago? Fitzgerald and Holder protect Obama.

Blagojevich trial
Protecting Obama
Part 4
Blagojevich arrest intentially delayed
“I was not going to wait until March or April or May to get it all nice and tidy”
“I think that would be irresponsible.”…Patrick Fitzgerald, December 9, 2008, Blagojevich arrest
Those are interesting statements by Fitzgerald.
The question is, why did Patrick Fitzgerald and the US Justice Department wait until December 2008 to arrest Rod Blagojevich?
The prosecution in the Rod Blagojevich trial rested their case Tuesday, July 13, 2010.
Tony Rezko has not been called to the witness stand. Nor has Stuart Levine. Nor have a host of others with corruption ties to Blagojevich and Obama.
The US Justice Department had plenty of evidence indicting Rod Blagojevich by 2006. Why did the US Justice Department wait until December 2008, after the election, to arrest Blagojevich?
Who made the decision to wait to indict Blagojevich?
Was Patrick Fitzgerald involved in this decision?
“I think that would be irresponsible.” Yes, Fitzgerald, I agree.
From the Blagojevich complaint December 7, 2008.
“From in or about 2002 to the present, in Cook County, in the Northern District of Illinois, defendants did, conspire with each other and with others to devise and participate in a scheme to defraud the State of Illinois and the people of the State of Illinois of the honest services of ROD R. BLAGOJEVICH and JOHN HARRIS, in furtherance of which the mails and interstate wire communications would be used, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1341,1343, and 1346; all in violation of Title 18 United States Code, Section 1349.
“Since approximately 2003, the government has been investigating allegations of illegal activity occurring in State of Illinois government as part of the administration of Governor ROD BLAGOJEVICH. As further detailed below, the investigation has developed evidence that: (a) beginning not later than in or about 2002, ROD BLAGOJEVICH has conspired with multiple individuals, including, beginning not later than in or about October 2008, JOHN HARRIS, to devise and participate in a scheme, which used and contemplated the use of the mails and interstate wire communications, to defraud the State of Illinois and its residents of the honest services of ROD BLAGOJEVICH and JOHN HARRIS by corruptly using the office of Governor of the State of Illinois to obtain and attempt to obtain personal gain, including financial gain, for ROD BLAGOJEVICH and third parties with whom he is associated;”
Blagojevich’s involvement in corruption did not begin in 2008.
“From in or about 2002 to the present, in Cook County”
“Since approximately 2003, the government has been investigating allegations of illegal activity occurring in State of Illinois government as part of the administration of Governor ROD BLAGOJEVICH.”

From the Stuart Levine Indictment, May 9, 2005. (The SPECIAL MARCH 2004 GRAND JURY charges)
“CHICAGO – Three Chicago area executives – one of them a former member of the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board, which controls medical facility construction projects in Illinois, and one a managing director of Bear Stearns & Co., an investment firm that arranges financing for public works projects in Illinois – were indicted on federal charges for allegedly engaging in insider-dealing, influence-peddling, kickbacks and corruption involving their private interests and public duties, federal officials announced today. One defendant, Stuart Levine, a lawyer and businessman, allegedly engaged in a fraud scheme to obtain a total of at least $9.5 million for himself and certain associates,
Stuart Levine – 19 counts of mail fraud, 4 counts of wire fraud, 2 counts of misapplication of funds, 2 counts of money laundering and one count of extortion – a businessman whose interests included S.L. Investment Enterprises, L.P., and a former member of the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board (Planning Board), a state commission appointed by the Governor that grants or denies a permit, known as a “Certificate of Need” (CON), to build hospitals, physician offices or other medical facilities statewide. Levine was also a member of the board of trustees of Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, formerly known as Finch University of Health Sciences/Chicago Medical School (Chicago Medical School or CMS) in North Chicago, and he was chairman of its real estate committee. He was also a trustee of the Northshore Supporting Organization (NSO), a charitable trust that supported Chicago Medical School;”
One of many ties to Rod Blagojevich
“a former member of the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board (Planning Board), a state commission appointed by the Governor”
http://www.justice.gov/usao/iln/indict/2005/us_v_levine.pdf
Timeline is revealing
Patrick Fitzgerald was aware of Blagojevich’s corruption in 2003
“Pamela Meyer Davis had been trying to win approval from a state health planning board for an expansion of Edward Hospital, the facility she runs in a Chicago suburb, but she realized that the only way to prevail was to retain a politically connected construction company and a specific investment house.
Instead of succumbing to those demands, she went to the FBI and U.S. Attorney Patrick J. Fitzgerald in late 2003 and agreed to secretly record conversations about the project.”
June 7, 2004: Stuart Levine, a longtime Republican reappointed to the powerful Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board, abruptly resigns on the eve of several important hospital expansion votes. The revelation is the first indication that the Blagojevich administration is under federal criminal investigation.
June 27, 2004: The Tribune discloses that an official for one hospital seeking permission to expand was wearing a federal bug during meetings in an effort to expose extortion attempts by Levine and others for contributions to Blagojevich.
July 2, 2004: Levine resigns from his seat on the board of the state Teachers’ Retirement System. It remains undisclosed that federal authorities had secretly taped Levine’s conversations.
May 9, 2005: Levine is indicted on corruption charges. Federal subpoenas are issued to numerous administration sources, including top Blagojevich fundraiser Antoin “Tony” Rezko
May 20, 2005: The governor’s office acknowledges to the Tribune that Rezko has an ongoing eight-year professional relationship with Patricia Blagojevich’s home-based real estate brokerage, River Realty Inc.
Sept 15, 2005: Prominent Democratic fundraiser Joseph Cari and a former lawyer for the state’s teacher’s pension board pleads guilty in an extortion scheme that steered state pension business to favored companies in exchange for campaign contributions to a high-ranking public official described in court documents only as “Public official A.”
Oct. 25, 2005: The Tribune discloses a federal grand jury investigation into the alleged political hiring practices of the Blagojevich administration, including the governor’s top hiring aide, Joseph Cini.
Sept. 10, 2006: The Tribune reveals that the FBI is investigating allegations by a one-time Blagojevich family friend that she had concerns her state job may have come in return for a $1,500 personal check her husband wrote to one of Blagojevich’s children.
Sept. 17, 2006: The Tribune reports that the Blagojevich administration skirted state hiring rules to give jobs to at least 360 people whose applications were sent through back channels by the governor’s offices and politically connected officials.
Aug. 5, 2006: The Tribune reports that Levine is cooperating with the federal investigation of state government.
Oct. 11, 2006: Blagojevich confidant and top fundraiser Rezko is indicted on federal charges he sought millions of dollars in kickbacks and campaign donations from firms seeking state business.
Oct. 27, 2006: Political insider Levine pleads guilty in a scheme to squeeze millions of dollars from firms seeking state business. In court papers, federal authorities spell out allegations that Rezko and another schemer, identified by sources as Blagojevich confidant and top fundraiser Christopher Kelly, were using their influence for corrupt purposes.
Before the Tony Rezko trial began in March 2008, the USDOJ and the FBI had more than enough to arrest Blagojevich and plenty on Obama. Stuart Levine had already provided the information revealed in the trial and more.
Patrick Fitzgerald obtains more details of Obama’s ties to Rezko and corruption in 2007.
Kenneth J Conner was a whistleblower in the Rezko Obama lot sale transaction. Conner was interviewed by the FBI in 2007.
From the Washington Times, November 4, 2008.
“A former Illinois real estate specialist says FBI agents have questioned him about a Chicago property that had been bought by convicted felon Tony Rezko’s wife and later sold to the couple’s next-door neighbor, Sen. Barack Obama.
The real estate specialist, Kenneth J. Conner, said bank officials replaced an appraisal review he prepared on the property and FBI agents were investigating in late 2007 whether the Rezko-Obama deal was proper.
“Agents and I talked about payoff, bribe, kickback for a long time, though it took them only a short number of minutes of talking with me while looking at the appraisal to acknowledge what they already seemed to know: The Rezko lot was grossly overvalued,” Mr. Conner told The Washington Times Monday.
“Rezko paid the asking price on the same day Obama paid $300,000 less than the asking price to the same seller for his adjacent mansion,” he said. “This begs the question of payoff, bribe, kickback.””
I have had many conversations with Mr. Conner, on and off the record.
By delaying the arrest of Blagojevich, two important things occurred.
More harm was done to the citizens of Illinois.
Obama was spared prosecution and association with crime figures. This allowed Obama to win the election.
Before the Rezko trial ended, the Illinois senate attempted a recall against Blagojevich.
Why wasn’t Blagojevich arrested by then?
May 2, 2008
“SPRINGFIELD—The Illinois Senate on Thursday narrowly defeated a measure aimed at giving voters a chance to recall Gov. Rod Blagojevich, but lawmakers on both sides of the issue blasted the embattled governor during a debate that raised statehouse tensions to a new level.”
Here are just a few bits of testimony from the Rezko trial. The government had this information many months before.
March 21, 2008
“Stuart Levine thought he had hit the jackpot when he teamed up with Antoin “Tony” Rezko, the fundraiser for Gov. Rod Blagojevich who seemed to be able to get the administration to do anything he wanted. Levine’s third day on the stand at Rezko’s corruption trial was a sometimes wandering exploration of how Levine and Rezko exploited that immense clout in a variety of schemes to allegedly line their pockets.
“I have never been in a better position than I am right now,” Levine was heard bragging on a government wiretap. “Part of the reason is because there’s never been such tight control of the central apparatus. This guy is making decisions ? and can get anything done that he wants done.””
March 19, 2008
“But Blagojevich’s name has been mentioned often. It was brought up at least 30 times Wednesday morning by Stuart Levine, the government’s star witness against Rezko.
At one point, Levine described a flight from New York that he shared with Blagojevich Oct. 29, 2003. Levine had chartered the plane to ferry Blagojevich and others to a series of fundraisers.
On the return to Chicago, Levine said he took the opportunity to thank Blagojevich for re-appointing him to a seat on a state hospital regulatory board that prosecutors now say he and Rezko had corrupted to extort kickbacks from firms seeking regulatory approval.
Levine said the governor responded, “Never discuss any state board with me, discuss them with either Tony Rezko or Chris Kelly.” Kelly, along with Rezko, was a top fundraiser for Blagojevich as well as a close friend.
Then Levine said Blagojevich added: “But you stick with us and you’ll do very well for yourself.”
Asked by a prosecutor to elaborate, Levine said, “I took that to mean you have an opportunity to make a lot of money.””
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-rezko-court-story-7,0,5224754.htmlstory
This is important!
Even if the USDOJ was waiting for the Rezko trial to end. It ended in June 2008, well before the election.
Obviously they did not need Rezko’s testimony.
It is obvious from the above that the feds had plenty on Blagojevich.
Now read remarks made by Fitzgerald and the USDOJ.
Fitzgerald aggressively prosecuted Republicans
Former Gov. George Ryan December 31, 2003
“Mr. Fitzgerald announced that he was prosecuting former Gov. George Ryan, a Republican, in a scandal that had been swirling around long before Mr. Fitzgerald got here and that many people thought would never touch the most powerful politicians in Illinois. But there Mr. Fitzgerald was, a week before Christmas, ticking off the details of a 91-page indictment against Mr. Ryan, seemingly from memory.”
Through a spokeswoman, Mr. Fitzgerald declined to be interviewed for this article. Instead, the office issued the four-sentence release. ”Mr. Fitzgerald will become engaged on the matter immediately,” the release said. ”Consistent with the usual practice concerning investigations, Mr. Fitzgerald does not intend to comment any further.”
http://www.nytimes.com/2003/12/31/us/man-in-the-news-an-independent-prosecutor-patrick-j-fitzgerald.html?ref=patrick_j_fitzgerald&pagewanted=2
Fitzgerald did not wait years to go after Libby and Rove.
“It was at the insistence of Rove’s lawyer, Donald Luskin, that Rove went back and re-examined his call logs and discovered the call to Cooper. Rove presented that information to the Grand Jury and the astonished Fitzgerald whose team had missed it.
But curiously, Fitzgerald attempted to use this disclosure to accuse Rove of being misleading in earlier testimony where he had failed to recall the phone conversation.
It became clear to Rove that Fitzgerald wasn’t looking for a violation of law in the Plame case but to set a perjury trap and carve another notch on his belt by bagging a top White House honcho.”

MAY 9, 2005
Stuart Levine Indictment
“Individuals who serve on public boards or boards or private institutions and charities must serve the interests of the public or the institution and not steal for themselves,” Mr. Fitzgerald said. “Beyond owing basic duties of honesty and integrity, hospital Planning Board members play an important role in providing access to health care while containing costs. The indictment charges that Levine instead sold out his duties and gave out state approvals and hospital contracts on the basis of ‘who you know’ and worse, ‘who you pay,’” he added.
http://www.justice.gov/usao/iln/indict/2005/us_v_levine.pdf
Levine pleads guilty October 11, 2006
“Levine, 60, of Highland Park, a lawyer who also served on the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board (Planning Board), was charged in the same counts as Rezko in the superseding indictment. Levine, whose attorney, Jeffrey Steinback, authorized the government to disclose that Levine is cooperating with the government, is scheduled to plead guilty in the TRS case on Oct. 27 before U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve.”
““This indictment describes a frenzy of corrupt scheming, particularly in April and May 2004, in which political insiders sought to manipulate the activities of two state boards to fleece investment firms and individuals. The defendants and their associates put the word out loud and clear: you have to pay to play in Illinois,” Mr. Fitzgerald said.”
http://www.justice.gov/usao/iln/pr/chicago/2006/pr1011_01.pdf
Blagojevich arrest December 9, 2008
“Fitzgerald said, “We make no allegations” that Obama was aware of any alleged scheming by Blagojevich.”
“Fitzgerald called the corruption charges against Blagojevich “a truly new low.””
“Robert Grant, FBI special agent in charge of the Chicago office, characterized Illinois’ place in the pantheon of political corruption.
“If it isn’t the most corrupt state in the United States, it’s certainly one hell of a competitor,” Grant said. “Even the most cynical agents in our office were shocked.””
“Fitzgerald said the investigation into Blagojevich continues, but authorities acted today to avoid further harm taking place.
“I was not going to wait until March or April or May to get it all nice and tidy” and bring charges, he said. “I think that would be irresponsible.””
http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2008/12/us-attorney-fitzgerald-press-conference-blagojevich.html
It is apparent to me that a deal was struck with the US Justice Department and that Patrick Fitzgerald was involved in the decision or minimally, was aware of it. The Justice Dept. had more than enough evidence to indict Blagojevich at the latest by the time Stuart Levine agreed to cooperate by August 5, 2006. They actually had enough wiretap evidence without Levine cooperating. Once Blagojevich was too tainted by investigation and Obama was being groomed for the presidency, Obama had to be protected.
Let me make this perfectly clear. I am accusing the US Justice Department of corruption, of being complicit in delaying the arrest of Rod Blagojevich until after the 2008 elections. Furthermore, the Justice Department has purposefully reworded the Indictment and refrained from calling witnesses and revealing testimony that would be further damning for Blagojevich and Obama. This is a criminal act which must be prosecuted.
I am calling for a congressional investigation.
I am also calling for more whistleblowers to come forward. Your identity will be protected.
More US Justice Department corruption coverage to come.
Citizen WElls 
John Woodman made the following statements:
Page 206
“I have heard people ask, “Well, if the birth certificate isn’t a fake, then why is it that not one single expert has come forward to state that it’s authentic?”
“In my personal view, a good expert should not attempt to state authoritively that a document “is authentic” without – at a minimum – full access to the original document; and in this case, the record-keeping systems.
This is something we do not have.”
Page 216
“On the other hand, disproving the various claims of fraud cannot prove that the birth certificate is genuine.
You may recall that at the beginning of this book, I stated that a birth certificate might pass every single test we could throw at it, and still be a forgery.”
These are the most accurate statements that Mr. Woodman makes.
The image placed on WhiteHouse.gov passes no test!!!

Thanks CW!
Also there is no doubt that bo and holder are both complicit in the Gunnrunner Fast & Furious Crimes.
I noted that Issa called F & F “reckless” in his questioning of holder who committed perjury before congress when he lied about “what he knew and when he knew it.” holder had a shocked look on his face. holder knows that Issa’s use of the word “reckless” was tantamount to accusing him of the crimes of Reckless Endangerment and Criminally Negligent Homicide.
Charges must be brought in State County Courts so that holder can not fix these cases for bo in fed court. holder and bo are desperate now. They know if bo does not win re-election, they both will be indicted by a Republican Justice Department.

SHOCKING PROOF OF OBAMA’S ILLEGITIMACY SHOWS FORGED 2008 COLB IMAGE HE COPIED FROM INTERNET WAS NOT AN OFFICIAL HAWAIIAN HEALTH RECORD
PRESIDENCY IN PERIL: Recent testimony from computer imagery expert demonstrates Obama posted the same copy of that expert’s actual, publicly disclosed, intentional forgery to the whitehouse.gov website, complete with incriminating links containing the name of the forger, then promoted it as a scanned image of an authentic document sent to Obama by the State of Hawaii. http://thedailypen.blogspot.com/
I commented on the Tribune’s involvement thusly:
I wouldn’t believe the Tribune if my parakeets read it to me from the bottom of their cage. Their words are meaningless gibberish.
In Mr. Fitzgerald’s comments at the December 9th, 2008 press conference:
I will say this. As you guys know — you guys are in the information business, of getting it and publishing it, and we’re in the information business of getting it and using it. About eight weeks ago, before we had the bug installed and before we had the wiretap up, we were contacted by the Tribune to comment, or confirm or deny, the story that they were going to run. Had they ran that story, we thought we’d never have the opportunity to install the bug or place the telephone tap.
The Tribune knew of the sale of the Senate seat a month before the election.
So I asked the Tribune whether they knew of the wiretaps before the election an who made the decision to withhold that information from the voters. They responded:
“Thanks for your inquiry but it is our practice not to discuss further details, beyond what has already been reported.”
In the Tribune’s “Statement of Principles” of 2007, the Tribune declared:
“The Tribune places great emphasis on the integrity of government and of the private institutions and individuals who serve and lead society. It acts as a watchdog on government, protecting citizen interests in quarters where citizens themselves might not otherwise be represented. The newspaper does this in the belief that the people cannot consent to be governed unless they have knowledge of, and faith in, the leaders and operations of government. Always, the people are sovereign.”
“The editorial page has four essential roles: to serve as a check on the power of government, to set an agenda for the Chicago region and the nation, to make persuasive arguments for the enactment of that agenda, and to inform and guide its readers so they can make better decisions.“
The Tribune can open the sealed divorce decree of Jack Ryan but refuses to look into the school records of the President of the United States. The Tribune ran a story on Sarah Palin’s 24,000 e-mails. Its sister paper, The L.A. Times, asked readers to help find corruption in those e-mails. But the L.A. Times refuses to this day to release the video of President Obama and Rashid Khalidi.
How can the Tribune, and the Times, for that matter, claim to inform and guide its readers so they can make better decisions, if they withhold information from voters?
Standards are good; Double standards are not twice as good.
Update June 28, 2011
After pointing out to the Tribune their policy statement and asking for a name of a person that could answer my questions, I received this reply today:
Dear Sir:
As I have told you in an earlier response, the Tribune does not disclose reporting practices beyond what already has been discussed in its news reporting.
It’s not that I’m not authorized to respond to your question. The people who do make such decisions and have that authority asked me to respond on their behalf.
Sincerely,
XXXX

By threatening race riots, Obama has intimidated the entire US Government from questioning his Constitutional eligibility for the Presidency and investigating his forged birth certificate and Selective Service registration and his stolen Social Security Number.
The race riot strategy has worked so well keeping him in office, Obama intends to exploit that threat to get himself re-elected.

The idea that a president of the United States has it in for a particular state simply because it has displeased him is a bizarre notion, to say the least. It displays a certain pettiness and worse that is inconsistent with the qualities that a person occupying the Oval Office needs to embody. A president must be a president of all the United States, not just the ones which political support him.
There is a saying in Texas, first coined for an anti-littering campaign, but often used more broadly. “Don’t mess with Texas.” One of the results of Obama’s apparent ignoring of that rule is that the state’s governor is now the severest threat to his having a second term, when only proves that Texans can make bad enemies indeed.
http://www2.tbo.com/news/opinion/2011/aug/27/meopino2-president-rick-perry-ar-253213/
A few weeks ago it was possible to believe that Mitt Romney would win the New Hampshire primary and cruise easily to the Republican nomination. It’s harder to see that now.
There have been a slew of polls showing Gov. Rick Perry of Texas surging to double-digit national leads. He leads across demographic groups — among educated Republicans and less-educated ones, among upscale and downscale. Most impressive, he’s winning over the Republican activists who pay the closest attention and wield disproportionate influence with primary voters.
A poll by the conservative political websites The Daily Caller/ConservativeHome surveys these activists. When asked this week which candidate was most electable, 46 percent named Perry, while only 20 percent named Romney. When asked who would do the best job on the economy, 27 percent said Perry, and 14 percent said Romney. When asked who would do the best job controlling Washington spending, 20 percent chose Perry, 17 percent said Rep. Paul Ryan (who isn’t running), and only 8 percent chose Romney.
The evidence suggests that Perry’s appeal will not be just a summer fad. He’s benefiting from several of the trends that have fundamentally altered the Republican electorate. If the 2008 electorate were going to vote in the 2012 primaries, then Romney could handle Perry. But that electorate no longer exists.
The events of 2009 and 2010 — bailouts, health care reform, the stimulus package — substantially shifted voter attitudes, and nothing that has happened in 2011 has altered that shift.
America is beingbattacked from within. Look a gibson guitar company. Fed agents siezed wood. There like apple pie. Brasscheck tv. There lean towards gop. But the other company is dem leaning anf nothing to them.
Listening to the panel (Kristol, Totenberg etc.) on Fox, it appears that they are coming to the conclusion that it is likely that Rick Perry will be the Republican nominee.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/white-house-e-mails-refer-to-gun-trafficking-operation/2011/09/02/gIQAuC8NxJ_story.html
The e-mails reveal that William Newell, former head of the Phoenix office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, briefed Kevin O’Reilly on the Obama administration’s broader operations against Mexican gun traffickers. O’Reilly, a State Department official who had been detailed to the National Security Council at the White House, then shared the information with two other officials, including Dan Restrepo, President Obama’s senior adviser on Latin America.
In one February e-mail to O’Reilly, Newell referred to Fast and Furious, the now-defunct operation that allowed some 2,000 illegally purchased firearms to hit the streets. The congressional inquiry began after it was revealed that a U.S. Border Patrol agent was killed in a gunbattle in which Fast and Furious guns were found at the scene.
Several other Newell e-mails referred to a large federal investigation along the southwest border. The e-mails did not specify the operation’s name, but U.S. officials said it probably was Fast and Furious.
Becca Glover Watkins, a spokeswoman for Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, said committee investigators are “examining the role of White House officials in Operation Fast and Furious, including concerns that their interactions with ATF personnel may have undermined the chain of command in a law enforcement operation and increased risks to public safety.’’
The e-mails follow a major shake-up at the Justice Department stemming from Fast and Furious. Kenneth E. Melson, acting director of the ATF, was reassigned to department headquarters this week. Dennis Burke, the U.S. attorney in Phoenix, resigned, and one of his prosecutors has been reassigned.

New emails obtained by the Los Angeles Times appear to show senior Obama administration and White House officials were briefed on the gun-walking operation. The three White House officials implicated by the LA Times’ reporting are Kevin M. O’Reilly, the director of North American Affairs for the White House national security staff; Dan Restrepo, the president’s senior Latin American advisor; and Greg Gatjanis, a White House national security official.

Why Obama administration’s Fast and Furious troubles may not be over
In the Fast and Furious operation, ATF agents lost track of as many as 2,500 high-powered firearms. Acting Director Kenneth Melson has stepped down, but a congressional investigation will continue.
The ill-fated Fast and Furious operation that ended up putting thousands of loose guns onto both sides of the US-Mexico border has claimed a big fish.
The acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives – who oversaw implementation of Fast and Furious out of ATF’s Phoenix office in 2009 – has stepped down and will be reassigned, the Justice Department announced Tuesday.
Kenneth Melson, who was named ATF’s acting director in 2009, will move out of ATF to become a senior adviser on forensic science in the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Policy
The US attorney in Arizona, Dennis Burke, whose office was heavily involved in the Fast and Furious operation, is also stepping down, the Justice Department said.
… bureau agents lost track of as many as 2,500 high-powered firearms, some of which later turned up at crime scenes on both sides of the border.
Two of the weapons were found at the scene of a US Border Patrol agent’s murder last year.
The reshuffle in ATF personnel seems unlikely to end the controversy over Fast and Furious. US Rep. Darrell Issa (R) of California, who heads the House Oversight Committee that has been investigating the botched operation, said in his Twitter feed Tuesday, “We won’t let blame for reckless Fast and Furious be shifted onto these few.”
CW you are right on target, however it is worse than you think.
Where is Darrell Issa? He has been made aware of many things that will shock people, and he is doing nothing. CW, aside from answering question about the leak Fitzgerald should be asked why the John Thomas file and the 400 hours of tapes from the wire he wore can not be heard. The file has been sealed and John Thomas has walked after never testifying !
That is just for starts.
Where is Darrell Issa ? Why do we have to ask ?

Subject: Chicago Tribune – John Thomas
To whom it may concern
John Thomas was a mole for the FBI in the case in Illinois against Tony Rezko and others. The Chicago Tribune was aware of the fact and chose not to write a story about him at the behest of Patrick Fitzgerald (U.S Attorney Northern Dist IL). The Tribune eventually wrote a story about John Thomas, however the story they wrote was not accurate. My source at the Chicago Tribune claims that when Patrick Fiztgerald asked the Chicago Tribune to sit on the Thomas story, claiming it could put his life in danger, the Chicago Tribune refused. The Chicago Tribune told Mr Fitzgerald that they were going to run the story anyway. It was only when Patrick Fitzgerald told the Chicago Tribune that if they ran the story that it would affect the Presidential election did the Chicago Tribune agree not to run the story. My source at the Chicago Tribune confirmed this meant Obama. My source also informed me of other information that would be of interest to the people of Illinois that was not being reported in the Chicago Tribune.

The moves follow a series of reports by Fox News detailing the face-off between Attorney General Eric Holder, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, whose investigators have recently broadened their probe. It now reportedly shows a deeper involvement of the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.
“While the reckless disregard for safety that took place in Operation Fast and Furious certainly merits changes within the Department of Justice, the Oversight and Government Reform Committee will continue its investigation to ensure that blame isn’t off-loaded on just a few individuals for a matter that involved much higher levels of the Justice Department,” Issa, chairman of the House panel.
“There are still many questions to be answered about what happened in Operation Fast and Furious and who else bears responsibility, but these changes are warranted. … I also remain very concerned by Acting Director Melson’s statement that the Department of Justice is managing its response in a manner intended to protect its political appointees,” Issa continued.
The Republicans need to tell it like it is. bo and holder were intentionally arming the Mexican Cartels and are protected the Black Panthers in furtherance of an armed Rebellion against the United States of America.

The Federal Election Commission ruled Friday that a Guyana-born American citizen could file papers and raise money to run for president of the United States. But the agency also told the prospective candidate, Abdul Hassan, that his campaign may not receive federal matching funds because he was not born in America.<<<
So, as long as you don't accept FEDERAL matching money you don't have to be an american to raise money to run for POTUS. I wonder if anyone else has thought or done this in the past……………….ROFLOL.

The goal of Obama and Holder is not armed rebellion against the US. It is to DISARM the US citizenry.
Gun laws and regulations were in place to prevent these weapons being bought by straw purchasers and then smuggled across the border. However, as typical with community organizers, they need to exacerbate an issue in order to have grievences addressed. What is Obama and Holder’s grievence? The 2nd Amendment.
So they needed to create the conditions where these weapons were “somehow” falling into the hands of organized crime in Mexico. The increased mayhem and spillover of violence into the US would give the progressive/marxists the ability to claim that our “gun laws have failed”. The solution, repeal the 2nd Amendment.
And then Obama is no longer afraid of acting like a tyrant against the US citizenry because the government will have weapons but the people will not.
This is a diabolical but necessary step on the path towards a permanent Obamanation…

Beware posters claiming a “law” says this or that; but who fail to cite to the actual law, so that you can determine for yourself. In my experience, it is safer to assume under such circumstances, there is no such law.
Since 2008, I have been posting only 1 proposed mechanism for petitioning the court to obtain Obama’s birth records from the DoH has any merit, notwithstanding (as we all agree) access to these records is restricted by law: use the common law ‘estoppel’ argument. That is, given the fact Obama derived a benefit by publicly posting on “Fight the Smears” what he claimed was his HI BC in June 2008, explicitly stating his purpose was to ‘offset concerns whether he was Constitutionally eligible to be POTUS’; he should not also benefit by the confidentiality afforded by HI statute, when someone seeks to obtain those (same) documents so as to test his credibility.
I first proposed to Andy Martin that he raise this legal argument back in August 2008, when he announced he would try to obtain these records by arguing to the court, Obama might be President and, therefore, a “public” figure. I have posted this same argument several times throughout the blogosphere in the past 3 years. Maybe this application of the well-known principle of common law known as “estoppel” was what “Pete” had in mind. Only, not having originated the idea, as usual, he got it wrong.

“This is the live free or die state, y’all get it,” he said, yoking a Southernism with New Hampshire’s motto as he held forth before roughly 350 people at the Chichester home of former New Hampshire Sen. Gordon Humphrey.
“The fact is you can’t live free if the federal government takes over one-sixth of the economy and violates the sanctity of the doctor-patient relationship. Obamacare has to be repealed,” he said, drawing a huge cheer from the crowd.
The speech focused largely on Perry’s record as a job creator and his determination to downsize the federal government. “I will go to the Oval Office every day and try to make Washington, D.C. as inconsequential in your lives as I can,” Perry promised his listeners.
In one of the more awkward moments of the day, an attendee at Perry’s Manchester house party asked the governor if he has any illegal relatives living in Massachusetts, apparently referencing the recent drunk driving arrest of a Kenyan uncle of President Obama’s who is living in the country illegally. Though the crowd roared with laughter, Perry seemed less amused.
Furrowing his brow, Perry told the questioner: “My brother in law is Hispanic.”
“One of the strengths of our country is this great diversity of our history in this state and all across the country,” Perry added. But he went on to say that “we must respect the rule of law in this country when we deal with issues like immigration,” and by the end of his answer, a smile reappeared. “To answer your question, no, I don’t have any – in Massachusetts or any other states that I know of.”

Rep. Joe Walsh on Friday accused President Obama of abusing his power when he asked House Speaker John Boehner to address a joint session of Congress to outline his latest vision for how he wants to create jobs.
“There is no reason for him to call a joint session of Congress,” the Illinois Republican said in an interview with MSNBC, “we reserve that for heads of states from dignitaries around the world and presidents in moments in crisis, and monumental moments.”
“I believe he is abusing the position here,” Walsh added.
Walsh has said he does not plan to attend next week’s speech.

An outspoken Republican congressman from Illinois is defending his decision to boycott President Barack Obama’s jobs speech next week.
U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh said Saturday that Obama is abusing his power as president by calling a joint session of Congress for the address. Walsh said at a meeting of Republicans in his northeastern Illinois district that such a move should be reserved for “momentous” topics like war, not what he called a political speech.
Walsh had said earlier in the week that he would not attend. He said he will still read Obama’s speech and comment afterward, and he plans to host a forum with business owners in his district.
The congressman drew attention during the debate over the debt ceiling, accusing Obama of spending money “like a drunken sailor.”

.After keepings his distance from the tea party movement since its inception, the ever calculating Mitt Romney has realized he needs the tea party if he is to win his bid to be president of the United States. So he is going to speak at his first tea party event soon.
Reminder to Mitt Romney: The tea party movement is not only a reaction to the big government policies of President Obama and the Democrats who ran Congress from 2006-2008. It is also a reaction to the disappointment and frustration with big government Republicans like you, who ran the country too much like the Democrats for too many years.
To put it another way, we support free markets, constitutionally limited government, and fiscal responsibility and we oppose politicians from both parties who do not.
Romney does not, so we oppose him.
A few of highlights from Romney’s record showing just how unfriendly he has been over the years to the ideas the tea party holds dear (links and details further below):
•Romney distanced himself from Reagan and Reagan’s policies
•Romney didn’t like the Contract with America
•Romney led the fight for and implemented health care reform almost identical to ObamaCare
•Romney called his beta version of ObamaCare “a model for the nation”
•Romney defended the individual mandate, saying, “I like mandates. The mandates work.”
•Romney supports cap-and-trade “on a global basis”
•Romney worked to regulate “greenhouse gas emissions” in Massachusetts
•Romney got Massachusetts involved in a regional climate change pact
•Romney supports ethanol subsidies
•Romney wants to increase spending “substantially” on energy research
•Romney opposes the Flat Tax
•Romney refused to support the 2003 Bush tax cuts
•Romney’s claim to not have raised taxes is called “mostly myth” by Cato Institute
•Romney thought Obama’s stimulus would “accelerate the timing of the start of the recovery”•Romney supports TARP
•Romney says there’s nothing wrong with companies asking for bailouts
•Romney supports No Child Left Behind
•Romney supports reappointing Ben Bernanke to chairman of the Federal Reserve
Chichester, New Hampshire (CNN) – Texas Gov. Rick Perry focused blame for the economic slump squarely on President Barack Obama in a pair of speeches Saturday, as his stump speech continues to take shape.
Reading from notes, the folksy leader launched a blistering assault on the president for failing to turn around the country’s fiscal struggles, and offered his record in Texas as his recipe for success.
“It’s time for a change,” he told a group of largely undecided Republican voters in Manchester, New Hampshire. “And I’m not talking about the rhetoric of change, I’m talking about a record of change.”
Perry said he had created jobs in Texas, while the president had expanded the role of the federal government without creating long-term jobs, and had taken the country in the wrong direction, he said.
He also had some advice for the president as he prepares to announce a jobs plan next week.
“If the president wants to make a good jobs speech, he needs to stand up in front of the American people and say we’re going to repeal ‘Obamacare,’ ” Perry told an audience in Chichester, to thunderous applause.
Perry – who pledged to do away with Obama’s health care plan on his first day in office – did appear to take a veiled swipe at GOP competitor Mitt Romney.
“As we consider the economic misery that’s spread across this country by the Obama administration, we don’t need a nominee who’s going to blur the differences between themselves and President Obama,” Perry said. “We’re going to have a nominee who draws a clear contrast.”
The former Massachusetts governor’s health care plan was used as a model for the national plan, a fact Perry has sought to underline in recent appearances.
At the house party in Chichester, Perry spoke emotionally about service members fighting in foreign wars. He said the country should spend more money caring for its veterans. On the subject of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Perry said there should be a “national conversation” over the next year before the election, but said he did not favor setting timetables for withdrawal.
Perry was asked at each crowded event about preventing illegal immigration, and said it was the federal government’s responsibility to aid in border protection by sending National Guard troops.
Gerald Easson, of Farmington, said he was impressed by the governor’s candor.
“Talk is cheap. I’m going by facts. What they’ve accomplished, what they can do,” he said. “Everything he’s tackled, he’s accomplished it.”
State Rep. Al Baldasaro, who has yet to endorse a candidate, had a similar response.
“He looks you in the eye and he tells you how it is,” Baldasaro said. “He’s not looking over my shoulder. He’s talking to me when I ask him a question.”
I use to like Sarah Palin very much, and still love it when she zings OB, but I am tired of waiting for her to make a decision or state what she is going to do. I am moving on. I like Perry. I like Bachmann, and I will support Romney, if he gets the nomination. Will she or won’t she? I just don’t care anymore.
Tina,
It looks like Palin will endorse Perry.
http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/fund-sarah-palin-/2011/09/02/id/409556
So if Sarah Palin isn’t running for president, what will she do in 2012? Even as a non-candidate, she has the potential to shake up the GOP race. In a recent slickly produced video producer by Team Palin that chronicles her bus tour of Iowa, Palin shakes hands with a girl in an “Americans for Rick Perry” T-shirt and then poses for a photo with the girl and her fellow Perry supporters.
“Given the elaborate editing that went into this production, is it likely that Palin would have approved a visual nod to Perry as a mere coincidence?” asks blogger Robert Stacy McCain, a keen-eyed Palin watcher. “I don’t think so.”

Mitt Romney’s debut on a major Tea Party stage has gotten off to a rocky start, as local and national activists protest what they claim is the presidential candidate’s half-hearted attempt to court their members.
The former Massachusetts governor is in New Hampshire Sunday to headline a Tea Party Express rally. From there, he’ll attend a forum Monday in South Carolina set up by Tea Party-aligned Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C.
But some Tea Party groups say the candidate until now has been unresponsive to their appeals. The Tea Party-tied FreedomWorks organized a counter-demonstration Sunday ahead of Romney’s speech to hammer his record and perish the thought that the ex-governor is one of them.
“He has not been consistently pro-market, pro-limited government, against government overreach. And that’s what we’re concerned about,” FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe told Fox News.
Representatives from a dozen local groups were expected to demonstrate in New Hampshire before Romney’s speech. They’re also handing out anti-Romney literature titled, “The Issue with Romney is the Issues.”
Their biggest complaint is the Massachusetts health care plan Romney helped pass as governor of that state — the program included a requirement to buy health insurance, well before the same mechanism showed up in the Democrats’ national health care overhaul. Romney repeatedly has said he opposes President Obama’s health care overhaul, and that he understands what works in Massachusetts might not work in other states.
Kibbe, though, called the state plan “anathema to Tea Party values.” The groups also say Romney has rebuffed prior attempts to meet with him.
“We have requested you meet and talk with New Hampshire’s liberty groups many times since you announced, and heard nothing,” Jerry DeLemus, chairman of the Granite State Patriots Liberty PAC, said in a statement. “Taking pictures in front of a Tea Party bus is nothing more than a photo opportunity and we refuse to be used as anyone’s political prop.”

Beware posters claiming a “law” says this or that; but who fail to cite to the actual law, so that you can determine for yourself. In my experience, it is safer to assume under such circumstances, there is no such law.
Since 2008, I have been posting only 1 proposed mechanism for petitioning the court to obtain Obama’s birth records from the DoH has any merit, notwithstanding (as we all agree) access to these records is restricted by law: use the common law ‘estoppel’ argument. That is, given the fact Obama derived a benefit by publicly posting on “Fight the Smears” what he claimed was his HI BC in June 2008, explicitly stating his purpose was to ‘offset concerns whether he was Constitutionally eligible to be POTUS’; he should not also benefit by the confidentiality afforded by HI statute, when someone seeks to obtain those (same) documents so as to test his credibility.
I first proposed to Andy Martin that he raise this legal argument back in August 2008, when he announced he would try to obtain these records by arguing to the court, Obama might be President and, therefore, a “public” figure. I have posted this same argument several times throughout the blogosphere in the past 3 years. Maybe this application of the well-known principle of common law known as “estoppel” was what “Pete” had in mind. Only, not having originated the idea, as usual, he got it wrong.

Everyone is trying to prosecute Obama, but the courts are not helping the People.

It looks like Palin will endorse Perry.

I’m still hoping Palin will not run but instead throw her support to Allen West.
I think of Palin as the captain of the cheerleaders. Not the quarterback. She is at her best when she stirs the crowds with her enthusiasm and common sense approach. That’s what she’s good at. Because of the serious security threats we face, our country needs a heavy lifter, someone of faith and integrity and knowledgeable of military experience. Just my opinion.

Palin would be an excellent Sec. of Interior and Col West would be an excellent Sec. of Defense in a Perry Administration.

GOP Candidates Must Declare Opposition to Sharia
by Robert Spencer
Texas Gov. Rick Perry has set many a heart a-flutter by joining the hunt for the Republican presidential nomination, but not so fast: Hard-Left advocacy journalist Justin Elliott of Salon hailed Perry as the “pro-Sharia candidate,” and exulted that Perry “is a friend of the the Aga Khan, the religious leader of the Ismailis, a sect of Shia Islam that claims a reported 15 to 20 million adherents worldwide.
Sprouting from that friendship are at least two cooperation agreements between the state of Texas and Ismaili institutions, including a far-reaching program to educate Texas schoolchildren about Islam.”
(snip)
Also among the presidential hopefuls, albeit as yet undeclared, is New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who this year appointed a Muslim attorney, Sohail Mohammed, to a Superior Court judgeship in Passaic County. Mohammed was the lawyer for Mohammad Qatanani, a Muslim Brotherhood operative who pleaded guilty to membership in the jihad terror group Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Christie knew this, yet called Qatanani “a man of great good will” and “a constructive force,” and fought Department of Homeland Security efforts to deport him. When challenged, Christie defended his actions and went out of his way to slam opposition to Sharia in the U.S. as “crap.”

Five Reasons Why I Believe Texas Governor Rick Perry Will Be Our President In 2013
1. Perry Has Created More Jobs Than Obama
Of all the issues that will face the nation in 2012, the one that weighs even now most on the minds of those around household dinner tables is where they will find the next month’s paycheck.
In my book I detail the deterioration and the inexplicable refusal of solutions that will work by the Obama administration.
President Obama was hired by the America people to make the economy better, to lower unemployment, to see Americans grow their wealth, and at every level he has failed.
It’s bad enough that one out of ten workers can’t find work. But the most damning statistic is that one out of five families is working as hard as they possibly can, but still can’t pay their bills.
Meanwhile over that same time period Governor Perry has overseen job growth in Texas that sits at 47% of all jobs created in the entirety of the United States — just during the two and half years Obama’s been in office.
2. Perry Respects the Importance of Small Business
While President Obama has been loading up the tax burden, fees, fines, and penalties for small businesses with his ObamaCare plan, the threat of higher taxes, and environmental pipe-dreams like “cap-and-trade,” Governor Perry has reduced trivial regulation and has made Texas a dynamic environment to grow business. He’s been so successful that corporations are relocating from the troubled states of California and New York. They’re coming to the Lone Star State to set up shop, provide better service, and pay their workers better wages.
Gov. Perry was even invited just a few months ago to the California Assembly to chat with lawmakers about how to create small business growth. One of those Assemblymen was so inspired by the governor he started the “draft Perry” movement.
3. Perry Understands the Issue of State Sovereignty
Governor Perry has been famous for not exactly playing ball with the folks Washington, D.C. He has tried to use everything from humor to a serious demeanor in his opportunities for dialogue with President Obama and his administration to convince them of the problems that can happen when the federal government oversteps, overreaches, and over spends.
He has refused federal monies for programs his state did not need. Even when Texas was experiencing massive wildfires his behavior was counter-intuitive for most politicians.
He did not immediately turn to Washington with his hand out. Yet when his state’s resources had been depleted he did come forward and ask for federal disaster aid in fighting the blazes. He’s still waiting for an answer to his multiple requests for help from the administration.
As an aside, let me say that the administration’s silence on the Texas wildfires looks like pure politics.
4. Perry Has Core Convictions
Recently Governor Perry allowed his Labrador Retriever to accompany him on his daily six mile jog. While on his run, he and his pet were accosted by a menacing coyote. After remaining still and waiting to see what the wild coyote would do, the governor pulled out a .380 Ruger and shot the coyote dead when it become apparent the coyote was after his pup.
When he returned to the governor’s office he was queried about his “heartless” actions towards “innocent” animals. After answering more than one question on the matter, and in a mildly exasperated manner he replied, “Don’t go after my dog!” In other words while the press was confused about his value system, he saw it in very simple terms.
Gov. Perry’s commonsense approach to problems and his core convictions resonate with the average American voter. There is such a thing as right and wrong. Not everything or everyone needs a presidential Blue Ribbon Commission to determine what’s wrong and what’s right.
5. He Appeals to All Three Categories of Conservatives
Ronald Wilson Reagan was the first Republican candidate to bring together the conservatives across the economic, social values, and strong military spectrums. Governor Rick Perry has already demonstrated his ability to do the same.
His economic abilities have already been cited. But he also supported the “loser pays” tort-reform bill in Texas. Trivial lawsuits will automatically diminish in the future because those bringing them will have little incentive to try to shake down an organization by merely attempting to wear them out.
He also supported the sonogram law, pleasing pro-family advocates, which allows a legal abortion in Texas only after the mother of the unborn child is able to see her child with her own eyes first.
He also pushed for passage of a voter ID law which will go a long way to insure the integrity of the voting process in future Texas elections.
His shared values of faith, his belief in the decency of America, and his lack of apology for sticking to his beliefs contrast very well with a current president who is best described as “ruthlessly pragmatic.”
Obviously there is much ground yet to cover before the elections of 2012. But Governor Rick Perry of Texas appears to this New Yorker to have the moxie, the methods, and material success in office to challenge President Obama on his rather lackluster “credentials” over the last two years–which is all he had to begin with.
I also love the fact that Gov. Perry wasn’t even interested in the 2012 presidential race until recently. Maybe it’s a good thing not to have people who lust for power live only to achieve it.
He’s not even in the race yet, and this column is not an endorsement, it’s a prediction. As a nationally syndicated talk show host, I am committed to having all of the candidates seeking the GOP nomination on my program. Friday, former Gov. Tim Pawlenty joined me. and will ask each of them the very same important questions of our economy, our national security and our future.
All that being said, if this economy keeps feeling like a dead coyote on an empty Texas highway, all bets are off.

If the Liberal romney can’t even beat Gov Perry in Liberal California then he doesn’t have a mormon’s prayer of winning the nomination.
http://www.thestatecolumn.com/articles/rick-perry-mitt-romney-tie-in-california-poll/
Despite Perry’s strong finishes in several recent national-level polls, Romney has typically performed well in state-level GOP polls. This is especially true in states with early primaries. However, a recent Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll of California voters reveals that Romney’s support in some state-level polls isn’t as impressive as it is in a state like New Hampshire. The Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll found that Perry and Romney are tied with 22 percent support among Republican voters.

*********************************************************************
bob strauss, based on all of the court pleadings I have read, I have to tell you, no one has presented any complaint to a HI state court, let alone a well-pleaded complaint, based on an estoppel argument. Orly filed her first HI state case just weeks ago, in August 2011. And it is a mandamus case, not an estoppel case, notwithstanding she does mention, Obama released his ‘record’ and so, cannot now claim privacy. In other words, she is arguing, the head of the HI DoH has a ministerial (as opposed to discretionary) duty to release the BC and so, she is asking the judicial branch to order the executive branch to carry out that duty. However, as Leo Donofrio learned in his NJ case, mandamus cannot be used to compel a state official to act when no provision in the law explicitly requires such action. The courts will not pierce governmental separation of powers without unambiguous authority to do so. And Orly’s case hasn’t even been heard yet, so it would seem premature to blame her (anticipated) failure on the court’s ‘corruption.’
In sum, as of today, no one has yet brought an estoppel case in a HI state court to obtain Obama’s birth records.
@Free Speech
Arming drug cartels with approx. illegal 2,700 weapons is vastly inferior to the weaponry available in the possession of our military. There are enough “enemies” of the state living within our borders to cause substantial chaos…the external enemies can be dealt with militarily.
FS, I don’t post often but your comments to SueQ are more than despicable. Why would anyone lie about something that serious? How would you have felt if people had called you a liar during your time of need instead of coming to your defense and helping you out when it really mattered? How soon you seem to have forgotten the compassion & help that was sent YOUR way.
SueQ….my best wishes, hopes and prayers are with you and yours. Hang in there and don’t pay any attention to those who have so much hate in their hearts they can’t seem to get past it. They don’t deserve anything more than our pity.
According to Governors Perry, Martinez and Brewer, “external enemies” (Violent illegals) are NOT being dealt with militarily by the bo regime.

Border Patrol Official: Drug Cartels ‘Have Taken Control’ of ‘Several Areas Along Our Border’
http://www.examiner.com/drug-cartel-in-national/drug-cartels-have-infiltrated-the-u-s-border-patrol
In
March 2010, the Senate Homeland Security subcommittee heard testimony from top federal officials about growing corruption of U.S. law enforcement along the U.S/Mexican border.
FBI assistant director for criminal investigations, Kevin Perkins, informed the subcommittee that in the last two years, there have been 400 corruption cases involving U.S. federal, state and local law enforcement officers working in the Southwest border region.

http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/07/obama_and_the_drug_cartels.html
Lucy Nashed, Deputy Press Secretary to Texas Governor Rick Perry, commented that the drug traffickers have become “increasingly confrontational in protecting their lucrative criminal enterprises … It is an affront to suggest our border is secure as innocent lives on both sides continue to be threatened due to ongoing drug cartel violence. This administration’s comments prove that they either don’t understand or don’t care about the turmoil occurring along our border.”

You need to research a bit more on community organizing. Foreign intervention is not sought sought. Internal division and strife are exacerbated to effect “change”, which usually comes in the form of concession or monetary disbursements.
Fast & Furious is not about arming external enemies…it is about creating a condition to call for the repeal of the 2nd Amendment so that King Obama can eventually invalidate the Constitution and make himself ruler of America without the fear of an armed citizenry.
Hotlanta Mike,
You need to read what Governors Perry, Brewer and Martinez have said about the invasion of illegals and a little bit about bo’s Operation Gunrunner and Fast & Furious because your factually unsupported statements are wrong.
Hotlanta Mike, you also need to read this.

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — A Ghanaian teacher cowers in his house, certain he will be grabbed at a checkpoint because of his dark skin. Armed rebels detain 19 Ukrainian cooks and oil workers for several days on unsupported claims that they are really snipers for Moammar Gadhafi.
They‘re among thousands of foreigners caught in a web of suspicion as rebel fighters pursue the remnants of Gadhafi’s forces. Gadhafi hired some foreigners as mercenaries, but many others held ordinary jobs in Libya, and the rebels who ousted the Gadhafi regime from most of Tripoli last month often seem to make little effort to tell them apart.
“How can we be snipers?” cook Maksim Shadrov asked angrily at a training center for oil workers in Tripoli where he, his wife and 17 other Ukrainians were being held.
“They are old. She is a woman. We are not snipers,” he said, pointing to some members of his group. Even a rebel commander conceded that he had no evidence to the contrary, but held them nonetheless, despite a diplomat’s efforts to free them.
In rebel-run Tripoli, people with dark skin — even Libyans — are at risk because Gadhafi is known to have recruited soldiers from sub-Saharan Africa.
“Every black is a target,” said Tony Biney, the Ghanaian teacher, who stayed home with his wife for two weeks before risking a trip to church

http://www.chron.com/news/politics/article/Perry-runs-Romney-ragged-2155679.php
WASHINGTON – Mitt Romney’s loss is Rick Perry’s gain in the 2012 Republican presidential race, as the Texas governor, a late starter in the wide-open Republican presidential field, is not only stealing support but also big-money backers from the former GOP front-runner.
Just look at California.
Four years ago, Mike Schroeder was California political director of Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign. This year, he dismisses Romney’s second White House campaign as “disorganized.”
“A lot of the energy that was for Romney has gone to Perry this time around,” said Schroeder, who has not formally endorsed a candidate.
Former California assemblyman Scott Baugh, the influential head of the Orange County GOP, helped raise nearly $2 million for Romney in the last race in that perennial GOP fundraising gold mine. But recently, he co-hosted a “meet-and-greet” for Perry with local Republicans and calls the Texas governor “an authentic individual who has a clear vision for what the country needs.”
Former California Republican Party chairman Shawn Steele remembers that in the last campaign, a “united” Orange County GOP leadership “flew to Boston and raised money for Mitt.” Now, “they have deserted the ship.”
“Nothing succeeds like success,” says Austin lobbyist Bill Miller, a Perry supporter. “The money people want to bet on a winner and here’s a guy who could go all the way.”

“COLIN POWELL CONTINUES CROOKED COVER-UP FOR BARACK OBAMA”
“UPDATE: NPR SCRUBS POWELL’S STATEMENT ABOUT THE BIRTHER SUMMIT CHALLENGE”
http://giveusliberty1776.blogspot.com/2011/09/while-our-original-offer-to-gen-powell.html
http://washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/2011/06/operation-fast-and-furious-should-end-holder-tenure
Watergate cliches though they are, two questions beg to be asked about the exploding Fast and Furious scandal at the U.S. Department of Justice: What did Attorney General Eric Holder know and when did he know it concerning the underlying concept, operational protocols and legal status of the Operation Fast and Furious program in the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms bureau?
The agents testified that Assistant U.S. Attorney Emory Hurley, a Phoenix-based appointee of President Obama, “orchestrated” Operation Fast and Furious. ATF Phoenix field office supervisor Peter Forcelli, for example, told the committee: “I have read documents that indicate that his boss, U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke, also agreed with the direction of the case.” That direction was established sometime after Obama was inaugurated in 2009 when Phoenix ATF agents, breaking with long-established agency practice, were ordered to monitor, but not stop, gun sales to suspected gun traffickers. The agents testified that Phoenix ATF supervisor David Voth “was jovial, if not, not giddy, but just delighted” when Fast and Furious guns were subsequently recovered at multiple Mexican drug busts. And emails released Thursday by Rep. Darrell Issa,R-Calif., revealed that acting director Kenneth Melson even arranged to watch live feeds from ATF cameras in gun stores being used by the program while sitting at his desk.
But delight turned to devastation on Dec. 14, 2010 when two Fast and Furious rifles were found at the scene of Border Agent Brian Terry’s murder approximately 18 miles inside the U.S. border with Mexico in the Arizona desert. The program ended the next day. Special Agent Larry Alt told the committee that Terry’s death was the entirely foreseeable result of Operation Fast and Furious: “You can’t allow thousands of guns to go south of the border without an expectation that they are going to be recovered eventually in crimes and people are going to die.”

Of all the criminal investigations of bo and his cohorts, the most legally problematic is Fast and Furious. There is already enough evidence for bo appointees in the “justice” department to be charged with Reckless Endangerment and Criminally Negligent Homicide in Arizona State Courts and Issa’s investigation has just begun. Issa has stated that he was not going to allow bo to shift all the blame to a “few” individuals. Issa clearly is targeting bo and holder. I doubt that bo’s appointees will cover for him when they are facing long prison sentences with the knowledge that bo and holder will not be able to protect them after January 20, 2013.

Zach,
Thank you for the update about the withdrawal of Perry from the debate today! I hadn’t heard the latest news. I have no doubt about Perry’s pro-life position.
PAT 1789 – I saw that. That article makes it clear the opposition to the natural born citizen provision are out in force to stamp down articles when they can.
The quote is part of a paragraph that starts as follows:
…However, one group of cubes that support Senator Rubio cannot be lined up so neatly is that of the millions of Americans who understand that the Constitution has a requirement that the President be a Natural Born Citizen and that there are legitimate questions and issues about what that means. ….
The obamaconspiracy took the quote out of context to say I was saying that most Americans know…
That was not the meaning.
Most Americans are still asleep about the history of the NBC term.

demRats are desperate to derail the Perry Express. Their foolish attempts to smear him with BS articles with interviews with a few Blacks in Texas is laughable. Obviously they have nothing damaging to Perry. Every smear the demRats have tried has backfired.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2011/09/05/media_dems_fear_perry_so_they_smear_him_111206.html
GOP consultant Doug MacKinnon says that the editor of a major newspaper told him, “We plan to declare war on Rick Perry and do all in our power to crush him.”
Mr. MacKinnon was outraged. “No pretense of integrity, professionalism or of unbiased news gathering,” he wrote in Investors’ Business Daily.
But I doubt he was surprised. This is what the “mainstream” media did to Sarah Palin in 2008, and what likely is in store for anyone Republicans nominate.
But liberals will go after the Texas governor with special venom because he is anti- intellectual, prays in public, takes the Constitution seriously and sometimes carries a handgun, Walter Shapiro wrote in The New Republic.
“It’s almost as if Perry’s political persona was constructed by bundling together all the fears and phantoms in the left-wing anxiety closet.” he said.
Some East Coast Republicans share these concerns. Mr. Perry’s “primary flaw appears to be a chesty, quick-draw machismo that might be all right for an angry base but wrong for an antsy country,” wrote Peggy Noonan in The Wall Street Journal.
“He does very well with the alternative reality right,” snarked David Brooks, the “conservative” columnist for The New York Times.
They were peeved with Gov. Perry for saying it would be “almost treasonous” for Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke to create more money out of thin air.
Ms. Noonan has said of President Barack Obama that “he rose with guts and gifts.” Mr. Brooks has praised his “superior temperament” and his “perfectly creased pant.” Because of their girlish crushes on the president, they are regarded by few conservatives as good judges of character.
But Commentary editor John Podhoretz, who is made of sterner stuff, also said “suggesting that Mr. Bernanke’s easy money policy was tantamount to treason is the opposite of handling an issue soberly. It’s hyperbolic blatherskite.”
Maybe. But if liberal New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is right (which is about as often as a stopped clock has the correct time), this “blatherskite” performed a valuable service. The Fed chairman foreswore a third round of “quantitative easing” because Gov. Perry intimidated him, Mr. Krugman wrote.
Mr. Perry’s hyperbole was deliberate, thinks a former communications director for the Texas GOP.
“While what Perry said struck some as over the top, it focused all the GOP primary attention on him and pulled the media into covering him, immediately,” Bryan Preston said.
Sarah Palin in 2008 was unprepared for the viciousness of the media onslaught, and stumbled in her interview with Katie Couric (though not so badly as the way CBS edited the interview made it seem.)
Ms. Palin was a virtual unknown when John McCain selected her as his running mate, so she was easy to smear. Mr. Perry’s been governor of the second-largest state for more than a decade, so liberals can’t credibly say he’s unprepared. And I doubt the president’s supporters want to call attention to how his record of job creation compares to Mr. Perry’s.
So expect lots of name calling. That may not work either. The “Texas cowboy” frightens Eastern liberals, but other Americans may find Gov. Perry’s decisiveness a refreshing change from the wimp in the White House who’s been described — cruelly but accurately — by New Hampshire’s Manchester Union Leader as “the Last Responder.”

Gov Perry’s return to Texas as a result of the Fires is commendable. bo’s failure to respond with a disaster declaration for Texas is unconscionable.
http://news.yahoo.com/perry-does-obama-something-against-texas-172605255.html
Is President Obama’s failure to sign a disaster declaration for the Texas wildfires due to an anti-Texas bias?
On Mark Levin’s radio program Wednesday night, Texas governor and Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry speculated that one of the reasons federal assistance for the rampant wildfires has not been forthcoming might just be because the state in question is Texas.
“We’ve had two �“ well, over two-and-a-half million acres of Texas burn-off this year and yet the federal government has not approved our major disaster declaration,” Perry said. “And you know, it’s really frustrating to me to see people lose everything that they’ve got, you know �“ burning houses up and livestock. And the federal government refuses to assist.
I guess the board clown must think student’s for Palin are just a buncha ‘demrats’.

CONWAY, S.C. — Rick Perry cut short a trip to South Carolina on Monday to head home to deal with wildfires in his state but got in a shot at Mitt Romney before he left.
“There is no one who’s gonna be sitting on that stage [at the debate in California] who has the record of job creation I have,” Perry said at a packed town hall hosted by Rep. Tim Scott, a popular tea party leader. “There’s one in particular who’s created jobs all around the world. While he was the governor of Massachusetts he didn’t create many jobs.”

Perry and Texas’ two GOP senators, Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn, have criticized the Obama administration for denying the state’s request for a federal disaster declaration and for not doing more to help Texans affected by the wildfires.
Totally off topic, but I am so angry and I needed to vent. Today, while reviewing some bank statements, I noticed a new monthly fee. The bank is charging me $12.00/mo on a Money Market account. This is not a checking account, a Money Market account. The bank is charging ME to have my money? I am quite sure this stems from the over-bloated Dodd Frank Bill and the banks are just passing on their higher costs to their customers……and I am sure that somewhere in the fine print(which most people don’t read or understand), they notified me of this at some point. All I can say is tomorrow morning can’t come soon enough, as I take joy in severing a 20+ year continually eroding relationship. This will be their last insult to me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvRzrSXota8&feature=related
In fact, even though I support Herman Cain in this primary process I have been remarkably soft on Perry who has a fair amount of exposure for criticism.
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/05/perry-stirs-supporters-then-heads-home/
Mr. Perry’s voice choked when he talked about meeting a woman and small business owner in Gaffney, a small town in this state, who asked him why she should have hope about the country’s direction, reflecting a fear that Mr. Perry said has moved him along the campaign trail. Mr. Perry said he responded that should he become president, “The boot of over-taxation ad over-regulation will be off your throat.’ She broke down and started crying. And that was a crystalline moment for me.”
It would be too easy for me to smear Perry just to win a short run argument with our resident maroon. But I recognize that I may have to support Perry in the future. FS, on the other hand, is willing to smear all of the other candidates that may be VP candidates in the future.
We all saw FS intellectual integrity in action with Donald Trump recently.
Insane.
It doesn’t matter if BARACK HUSSAIN OBAMA was born in the Lincoln bedroom of the White House, with all 535 members of Congress and the Supreme Court judges as witnesses, he is still not a “natural-born citizen.
The phony birth certificate he flashed to the news media, and the books that Bill Ayers wrote for him clearly states his father was from AFRICA AND A BRITISH SUBJECT AT THE TIME OF HIS BIRTH.
Place of birth in UNIMPORTANT and never has been. We should all be asking our Congressmen/women to explain how a British subject ,at the time of his birth, can become President of the United States!
We should be demanding the courts define in plain English the term, “natural-born citizen” and end all this far-left bullsh*t over the IMPOSTER’S birth certificate.
Obama is NOT, nor can he EVER be, QUALIFIED to hold the office of President of the United States.
These facts cannot be disputed in any court. That is assuming the CONSTITUTION of the United States is still the Supreme Law of the land.

Carolina Senator Jim DeMint, a leading figure in the Tea Party movement, who will be hosting a political forum of most of the top Republican contenders on Monday, told CBS News: “It doesn’t appear that she [Palin] is going to run. She’s done a lot, I think, to engage the American people and stir things up, which we really needed to do, to get American citizens more involved in the process. It made a big difference in the last election. My hope is it’ll make an even bigger difference in the next election, as people take back their government.”
“The Governor is in close contact with emergency operations officials regarding fires in Texas, including calls with his emergency management chief this morning,” Perry’s campaign communications secretary Ray Sullivan told CNN. “Governor Perry is cancelling the remainder of his South Carolina schedule today (including DeMint Fourm) and his California schedule tomorrow in order to return to Texas ASAP.”
No doubt the demRats are behind the Arson in Texas.
http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/2011/0419/Wildfires-in-Texas-Does-the-Lone-Star-State-have-an-arson-problem
A majority of the 8,000 fires that have beset the Lone Star State since the start of the year were set by hand, either on purpose or unintentionally, the Texas Forest Service said on Tuesday. Reacting to a fire near the capital of Austin that started after a homeless man left a campfire unattended, Gov. Rick Perry (R) acknowledged the problem this week, saying he would like to see the Legislature increase the maximum state penalty for arson from 30 years to life in prison.
“Having increased penalties, I can support,” Governor Perry said. “Someone, I don’t care if they’re homeless or what, if they set a fire, the punishment needs to be stiff. You’re talking about losing people’s lives with these fires.”
I pray that the TBI and Governor Perry can get one of the Arsonists that have been arrested to testify against the demRats.

This is what the average citizen will up against come next November. We must be prepared to stand up to these “thug bastards”, or give America over to the street gangs of Hoffa, Trumpka, and the rest of those gangster bastards who bow down at the feet of the IMPOSTER.
