 Bill O’Reilly Trump interview reveals agenda or incompetence, O’Reilly mislead Americans, O’Reilly should be fired and Fox punished

“Why has Obama, for over 2 years, employed numerous private and government attorneys to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?”…Citizen Wells and millions of concerned Americans

“Why did Bill O’Reilly use birth announcements as evidence of Obama’s birth in Hawaii and mislead the American public?”…Citizen Wells

On at least two occasions prior to age eighteen I was required to present an official, stamped, long form birth certificate obtained from the county of my birth in NC. Imagine someone on the Fox Network, which purports to be fair and balanced, someone who claims to do research and ask probing questions, using a birth announcement as proof of birth in a specific location on a specific date. Not just proof of birth for someone playing little league but someone who ran for and now occupies the White House. Well folks, we have such a person in Bill O’Reilly and he admitted it during the Donald Trump interview on Fox on March 30, 2011. Are you feeling really good about Fox?

Let’s pause for a moment and analyze what a birth announcement is…………….

It’s a birth announcement, not a birth certificate!

If you are new to this or have been fooled by people like O’Reilly on TV, remember this important fact. We have no legitimate documentation of the location or date of Obama’s birth. The date of August 4 could easily have been supplied by Obama’s parent or grandparent.

O’Reilly and Fox have not been fair and balanced and have not fully covered the tough issues surrounding Obama such as eligibility and deeper ties to Chicago corruption.

From Citizen Wells September 4, 2008.

“Bottom line. O’Reilly did a lousy job. He gave Obama the questions he has rehearsed time and time again. What right does O’Reilly have to state that Obama was right about his earlier position on Iraq. Obama is a pathological liar and therefore has no discernable position.”

In July 2009 Bill O’Reilly had the following to say about Lou Dobbs and the Obama birth certificate controversy.

“Impact segment tonight all has to do with the call for CNN commentator Lou Dobbs to be fired. It has to do with Mr. Dobbs allowing conversation on his program that alleges President Obama is not a U.S. citizen. Now this theory has been around for a while. The Factor investigated and found this theory bogus but Mr. Dobbs is still engaged…Again we found that President Obama was born in Hawaii. We were sent the documents, what do you got to do. I don’t know why it’s still around that was more than a year ago.”

From Citizen Wells October 9, 2009.

“Neither O’Reilly or his female fawners, who agreed the case was frivolous and that Orly Taitz deserved what she got, have done sufficient research to make an intelligent, informed comment on the subject.
I criticize Bill O’Reilly for pontificating on a subject that he knows little about.

I also criticize O’Reilly for shooting the messenger.”

From Citizen Wells February 15, 2010.

“Fox News, long thought to be the only network covering the news, especially regarding Obama, his agenda, his past and his associations, is increasingly becoming suspect as being controlled by the Saudis and Obama Administration.”

“In a move which openly and shamelessly manifests FOX’s anti-American agenda, the former conservative news agency has launched a propaganda campaign against U.S. Citizens who, having announced their candidacy for State Governor in their home states, also question the eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama to hold the office of U.S. President.
In an unsigned report published at their website, on Friday, Feb. 12, 2010, Fox News takes aim at Georgia Gubernatorial Candidate Nathan Deal and Texas Gubernatorial Candidate Debra Medina.”

“By this statement, FOX has made it absolutely clear to America that they will not tolerate anyone who will not work with Obama and be respectful to him.

This move by FOX comes less than a month after a member of the Saudi Royalty, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, a nephew of the King of Saudi Arabia, announced his desire to forge closer ties with Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation, the parent of FOX.”

“So, why didn’t the pompous jackass O’Reilly ask Blagojevich about any of these charges?

So, Bill O’Reilly, why are you and Fox covering for Obama on his eligibilty issues and ties to Chicago corruption?

Bill O’Reilly, which of the following apply to you?

Incompetent

Biased

Bought out or controlled by Fox, Obama or the Saudis”

Millions of viewers trusted Fox and Bill O’Reilly in 2008. When O’Reilly said that he investigated Obama’s birth and birth certificate, they believed him. It is my opinion that Glenn Beck also trusted O’Reilly on this. Bill O’Reilly should be fired, Fox punished and there must be a congressional investigation.

“Why has Obama, for over 2 years, employed numerous private and government attorneys to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?”…Citizen Wells and millions of concerned Americans

“It is a little bit odd there were hospitals named after Mr Obama in Ghana, but none in New York.”…Michael Cohen, Donald Trump attorney

I have been an outspoken critic of Glenn Beck for insulting millions of Americans for questioning Obama’s birth certificate and his eligibility for the presidency. Will Glenn Beck be drawn to the “Dark Side”, as exemplified by this article from Media Matters?

“I’m sure it will be just a matter of time now before Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck take to the Fox News airwaves to ridicule Donald Trump, who’s been out making easy headlines peddling the debunked birther conspiracy theory.

I’m sure O’Reilly and Beck will take aim at Trump, even though the rest of Fox News is cheering the misguided billionaire on, because, as Media Matters has noted, both Fox hosts are on the record condemning the birth certificate talk.”

“Beck has been even more pronounced in his condemnations:

Everybody says, “why is Barack Obama not just producing the birth certificate?” Ok, first of all, he did. And you’re never going to get, you’re never going to get a conspiracy theory to stop. You’re never.

And:

Do you really think that that’s the most pressing issue today, that that’s the one, that’s the one that’s gonna bring this guy down. Really? That one — The birther issue. It’s the biggest waste of time I have ever, ever seen.

And:

And these people, no matter who they are, it could be a Republican, it could be George Bush. It doesn’t matter. Lindsey Graham, I don’t care who it is. These people must not excuse birthers.”

Is this Beck’s way of apologizing?

From The Blaze.

March 23, 2011

““I really believe there’s a birth certificate… Why doesn’t he show his birth certificate? …  I wish he would,” Trump told his female hosts. “If you’re going to be the president of the United States, [the Constitution] says very profoundly that you have to be born in this country… There’s something on that birth certificate [Obama] doesn’t like.””

““The fact is they asked John McCain for his birth certificate,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” yesterday. “They’ve asked others for their birth certificate. They asked Bush for his birth certificate, by the way, I just found out over the weekend. And they would ask me for my birth certificate.”

It seems even after yesterday “they” are still asking.

It’s interesting that Trump continues to bring this issue up.  The Left loves to paint so-called “birthers” as crazy right-wing wackos.  But as a household name, Trump obviously has a public bully pulpit similar to figures like Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin who try and avoid the issue.

Does it suggest Trump will make a run for the White House?  Not necessarily, but the man’s logic is hard to argue with… unless you‘re like Goldberg and quickly dismiss the enforcement of the Constitution’s residency requirement as “BS” aimed at attacking America’s first black president.”

“After failing to release his actual birth certificate yesterday — but saying he did — Donald Trump took a second stab at it today. And it appears he got it right.

This time Trump’s camp sent an “official” birth certificate to ABC News in an attempt to correct his previous error. This is what it the new one looks like:”
“That’s a lot different than a hospital certificate of live birth, and Trump’s camp acknowledged as much in a memo to ABC:

“A ‘birth certificate’ and a ‘certificate of live birth’ are in no way the same thing, even though in some cases they use some of the same words,” wrote Trump staffer Thuy Colayco in a message to ABC News. “One officially confirms and records a newborn child’s identity and details of his or her birth, while the other only confirms that someone reported the birth of a child. Also, a ‘certificate of live birth’ is very easy to get because the standards are much lower, while a ‘birth certificate’ is only gotten through a long and detailed process wherein identity must be proved beyond any doubt. If you had only a certificate of live birth, you would not be able to get a proper passport from the Post Office or a driver’s license from the Department of Motor Vehicles. Therefore, there is very significant difference between a ‘certificate of live birth’ and a ‘birth certificate’ and one should never be confused with the other.”

It’s worth noting that the memo could come across as suggestive — insinuating that maybe what Obama has been using is the certificate of live birth instead of an actual birth certificate. Key word, “could.”

That begs the question: was this part of Trump’s plan all along?”

Glenn Beck and TheBlaze.com, this is a good start.

However, Glenn Beck, when you make a mistake, and you made a big one, fess up, apologize and move on. You owe the American people an apology.

Obama eligibility poll, Wenzel poll reveals 9 percent believe Obama documentation, World Net Daily poll

Obama eligibility poll, Wenzel poll reveals 9 percent believe Obama documentation, World Net Daily poll

“Why has Obama, for over 2 years, employed numerous private and government attorneys to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?”…Citizen Wells and millions of concerned Americans

From World Net Daily March 20, 2011.

“Not even one person in 10 believes Barack Obama has shown that he is eligible to be president of the United States, according to a stunning new scientific poll that also reveals political independents have less tolerance than even Republicans for his efforts to obfuscate the issue.

“The shocking result in this survey is that just 9 percent said they believe Obama has met the requirements to prove he was born in the United States and is therefore qualified to be president,” said Fritz Wenzel, president of Wenzel Strategies, which conducted the survey.

“Even when you combine those who say such questions are not valid with those who believe he has satisfied the requirements, it still falls short of equaling the percentage who said he should step forward and prove his birth origin once and for all,” he said.

Wenzel Strategies, an independent public opinion research firm based in Ohio, conducted a nationwide telephone poll using a randomly selected sample of adults. The survey, including 1,095 respondents, was conducted March 15-17 and carries a confidence interval of 95 percent and a margin of error of +/- 2.93 percentage points.
“The question of whether Barack Obama is eligible to hold the office of president is remarkable in that so many people are aware of the questions that remain unanswered. The survey shows that 77 percent are aware of the issue, and another 12 percent said they are unsure, which likely means they know a little but not enough to articulate details,” Wenzel said in his analysis of the results.

“Given the level of interest that the American public now devotes to politics, especially in an off-election year, this finding is remarkable. It speaks volumes about Obama’s unwillingness or inability to satisfy this question once and for all,” he said.

It was back in June 2009 when a Wenzel poll showed 51.3 percent were “aware of questions raised about Barack Obama’s constitutional eligibility for the office of president.”

This month, 77 percent of the Democrats who responded said they are aware of the controversy. Nearly 82 percent of the Republicans are aware and almost 69 percent of the independents. Overall, 76.8 percent said yes, and another 11.7 percent said they were unsure. Only 11.5 percent said there were not aware of the questions.

“Half of those surveyed said they believe these questions about Obama’s legitimacy as president are either troubling or should be satisfied by Obama. In fact, more people want Obama to prove his legitimacy – 42 percent – than believe that the lingering questions are not valid – 32 percent,” Wenzel said.

The survey showed 41.9 percent say Obama should prove his birth story, including 60.9 percent of independents, 58.6 percent of Republicans and 13.2 percent of Democrats.”

Nebraska Save the American Dream rally, Grassroots in Nebraska counter rally, Countering Moveon.org Labor Union

Nebraska Save the American Dream rally, Grassroots in Nebraska counter rally, Countering Moveon.org Labor Union

From Grassroots in Nebraska February 25, 2011.

NEBRASKA HAS COLLECTIVE BARGAINING LEGISLATION SITTING IN COMMITTEE!

WHAT: Counter-Rally

We’re countering the Moveon.org “Save the American Dream” Labor Union
Rally (see below)

WHEN: NOON

FOR: Support Nebraska Legislation to Reform Collective Bargaining Laws

WHERE: We’ll gather at the Centennial Mall across from the State
Capitol, Lincoln, Nebraska

Click HERE <http://grassrootsne.com/?page_id=1799>
 for maps of the Capitol area, parking garages downtown, and driving
directions

PLEASE RSVP by clicking HERE <http://grassrootsne.com/?page_id=1480>
 and help out by FORWARDING TO FRIENDS!!

**PLEASE DRESS WARMLY! FORECAST = 27degrees**

We’re working on some sign ideas – if you have any, please forward to
sdawdy@grassrootsne.com or post on the GiN site.

Thanks to 9/12 Omaha <http://www.meetup.com/the912project/>
, who began this effort, we know that Moveon.org put out a call for
supporters of labor unions to hold rallies at every state capitol this
Saturday, February 26 and there is one scheduled this Saturday at the
Nebraska State Capitol in Lincoln at noon.

While we cannot find any notice of the event on any of the websites of
local unions or supporting groups, the moveon.org Lincoln event
<http://pol.moveon.org/event/events/index.html?action_id=238&id=&search_distance=200&search_zip=68507&submit=Search>
 page showed 75 RSVPs as of 10pm Thursday night and a Facebook page
for the event <http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=205229342825998>
 showed as many as 50. These events seem to have sprung up quickly and
RSVP rates online are typically lower than turnout (how much varies).

If you believe that government spending must be reined in, that
government employee compensation, health care benefits, and pensions
should be no more generous than that received by employees in the
private sector, then come down and show your support for collective
bargaining reform.

If you are skeptical that this issue is having any negative effect on
Nebraska, PLEASE read below.

OUR PLAN: We will gather on the Centennial Mall because we are NOT
attempting to get involved directly in the labor union rally. I
explicitly urge you NOT to do so as it will only lead to trouble. Our
purpose is to gather together in whatever number chooses to show
support for reforming collective bargaining. (If you are skeptical
about participating, see this article
<http://www.uncoverage.net/2011/02/maryland-tea-party-faces-off-at-union-goon-rally/>
 or this Facebook posting
<http://www.facebook.com/#!/album.php?fbid=1804584005323&id=1561563753&aid=2101528>
.)

We are unlikely to stay outdoors for the entire length of the labor
union rally; we will likely keep our program brief and those who are
interested in hearing more detailed information about the legislation
on this issue and its status will be invited to join us indoors
downtown at a location we will announce at our gathering on the Mall.

NEBRASKA HAS MANY OF THE SAME PROBLEMS AS WISCONSIN AND OTHER STATES

Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like SERIOUS action is going to take
place in Nebraska on this issue – READ TODAY’S ARTICLE ON THE GiN SITE
IF YOU NEED SOME EVIDENCE <http://grassrootsne.com/?p=7741>
. (publishin at 8am)

The information below can be supported and examined in greater depth
by reading some of our articles on the subject, which are listed
further down.

 Nebraska has a nearly $1 billion budget shortfall – by population,
it’s proportional the $3.5 billion shortfall in Wisconsin.
 Nebraska’s Retirement System – the government employee pension fund –
has been bailed out several times in the past two years because many
government workers’ pensions are not tied to market value, they are
guaranteed benefits regardless of the market, unlike the 401k plans
for workers in the private sector.
 In order to “balance” our State budget, we have taken in a great deal
of Federal stimulus funds, most of which was used to bailout the
pension funds, as noted above, with the rest going to education (sold
by Congress as “saving teachers’ jobs), and Medicaid.

One of the reasons Nebraska’s unemployment rate is so low is because
too many people work for government in our State:

 17% of Nebraska’s workforce is employed by State or local government
 In Lincoln, 24% of the workforce works for State or local government.
 In Omaha, 15% of the workforce works for State or local government.

AFFECTING TAXPAYERS: Nebraskans are overtaxed…our top marginal
income tax rate is as high as states that lost population in the past
ten years; several studies in the past decade have shown that our
taxation structure is suppressing business activity. Nebraska’s two
largest cities, Lincoln and Omaha, have increased taxes in the past
year because their budgets are in trouble. In Omaha, two tax increases
were imposed to cover increased costs of a labor union contract.
Lincoln’s telecomm tax was raised in 2010 to increase revenues, making
it the highest in the United States; 24% of cell phone, landline, and
other telecomm bills is taxation.

Alan Keyes to Republicans, Lower debt, Refuse to raise the debt ceiling, House Republicans chastised

Alan Keyes to Republicans, Lower debt, Refuse to raise the debt ceiling, House Republicans chastised

From World Net Daily February 7, 2011.

“Former GOP presidential candidate and Reagan administration official Alan Keyes has joined the ranks of those calling on House Republicans to reject another hike in the debt limit that will permit the federal government to keep borrowing money to propel its spending programs.

He joins Sens. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., and Pat Toomey, R-Pa., and Reps. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., Ron Paul, R-Texas, and Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., in rejecting House Speaker John Boehner’s concession to raise the debt limit, which is expected to be reached toward the end of next month.

“We should demand of our representatives in Congress that they refuse to raise the debt ceiling,” said Keyes. “But we must also demand of ourselves that we refuse any longer to choose our political leaders from candidates produced by political parties intrinsically dependent on political vehicles fueled by unbridled government spending. Where politics is concerned, restoring the ceiling must be just the first expression of our determination to rebuild, as a home for responsible freedom, the house of constitutional liberty our forsworn elites are determined to destroy.”

Shock the Washington establishment by participating in the “No More Red Ink” campaign and shut down all new plans for bailouts, “stimulus” spending and even the funding for Obamacare.

Keyes, whose coming book, “And Crown Thy Good: Restoring America’s Covenant in 2012,” will address the issue, said Boehner tipped his hand late last year when he spoke to House Republicans sent to Washington by Americans fed up with business as usual in Washington: “We’re going to have to deal with it as adults,” Boehner instructed his colleagues. “Whether we like it or not, the federal government has obligations and we have obligations on our part.”

“U.S. government finance has evidently become a Ponzi scheme predicated upon access to fresh streams of borrowed capital,” said Keyes. “If done in ignorance, we might excuse the scheme as childish. Otherwise, we call it crooked, and treat adults who knowingly perpetrate it as criminals. Many of those who voted Republican in 2008 are demanding an end to precisely this kind of institutionalized chicanery. Sadly they may have cast their votes in vain. Of course, in order to mask the fact that the Republicans mean to go on with ‘business as usual’ GOP leaders are claiming instead that it’s ‘business as necessary.’ Naturally, the Obama faction Democrats heartily agree.”

Keyes continues: “They agree because what’s happening isn’t child’s play, it is power play. The GOP leaders blather about ‘meaningful cuts in government spending,’ but as I’ve pointed out before neither wing of the sham two-party system can have any intention of fundamentally curbing the U.S. government’s appetite for the nation’s resources. The political power of both parties depends on it. They won’t give up that power until the force of circumstances compels them to do so.”

Keyes made his comments in support of a plan led by Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND, to persuade House Republicans to defy their own leadership and refuse to raise the debt limit – an act that will force government to live within its means.

Called the “No More Red Ink” campaign, it empowers America citizens to send messages to every member of the House Republican caucus inexpensively and efficiently – with guaranteed delivery by Fed Ex.”

Unemployment rate 9.0 percent or 9.8 percent?, Big brother or Gallup, Orwellian speak, 2011 or 1984

Unemployment rate 9.0 percent or 9.8 percent?, Big brother or Gallup, Orwellian speak, 2011 or 1984

“the Times of the nineteenth of December had published the official forecasts of the output of various classes of consumption goods in the fourth quarter of 1983, which was also the sixth quarter of the Ninth Three-Year Plan. Today’s issue contained a statement of the actual output, from which it appeared that the forecasts were in every instance grossly wrong. Winston’s job was to rectify the original figures by making them agree with the later ones.”…George Orwell, “1984”

Unemployment Rate from Big Brother

From the US Labor Department February 4, 2011.

“Household Survey Data

The unemployment rate (9.0 percent) declined by 0.4 percentage point
for the second month in a row. (See table A-1.) The number of
unemployed persons decreased by about 600,000 in January to 13.9
million, while the labor force was unchanged. (Based on data adjusted
for updated population controls. See table C.)

Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men
(8.8 percent), whites (8.0 percent), and Hispanics (11.9 percent)
declined in January. The unemployment rates for adult women (7.9
percent), teenagers (25.7 percent), and blacks (15.7 percent) were
little changed. The jobless rate for Asians was 6.9 percent, not
seasonally adjusted. (See tables A-1, A-2, and A-3.)

The number of job losers and persons who completed temporary jobs fell
from 8.9 to 8.5 million in January. The number of long-term unemployed
(those jobless for 27 weeks or more) edged down to 6.2 million and
accounted for 43.8 percent of the unemployed. (See tables A-11 and A-
12.)

After accounting for the annual adjustment to the population controls,
the employment-population ratio (58.4 percent) rose in January, and
the labor force participation rate (64.2 percent) was unchanged. (See
tables A-1 and C.)

The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons
(sometimes referred to as involuntary part-time workers) declined
from 8.9 to 8.4 million in January. These individuals were working
part time because their hours had been cut back or because they were
unable to find a full-time job. (See table A-8.)

In January, 2.8 million persons were marginally attached to the labor
force, up from 2.5 million a year earlier. (These data are not
seasonally adjusted.) These individuals were not in the labor force,
wanted and were available for work, and had looked for a job sometime
in the prior 12 months. They were not counted as unemployed because
they had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey.
(See table A-16.)

Among the marginally attached, there were 1.0 million discouraged
workers in January, about the same as a year earlier. (These data are
not seasonally adjusted.) Discouraged workers are persons not
currently looking for work because they believe no jobs are available
for them. The remaining 1.8 million persons marginally attached to the
labor force had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the
survey for reasons such as school attendance or family
responsibilities. (See table A-16.)”

http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm

From Gallup February 3, 2011.

“Unemployment, as measured by Gallup without seasonal adjustment, increased to 9.8% at the end of January — up from 9.6% at the end of December, but down from 10.9% a year ago.”
“Underemployment Essentially Unchanged in January

Underemployment — the combination of part-time workers wanting full-time work and Gallup’s U.S. unemployment rate — was 18.9% in January, essentially the same as the 19.0% of December. Underemployment now stands one percentage point below the 19.9% of a year ago.
Comparing Gallup’s unemployment and underemployment rates so far in 2011 with those for the same periods in 2010 provides something of a seasonally adjusted view of Gallup’s jobs data. Unemployment and underemployment are now at least one point below the rates of a year ago, reflecting modest improvement over the past year.

Still, Gallup’s measures paint a real-time picture of the current job realities on the ground: nearly 1 in 10 Americans in the U.S. workforce are unemployed, nearly one out of five are underemployed, and the nation’s overall hiring situation has not improved over the past four to six months.”

Egypt uprising, Obama manufactured crisis?, Obama muslim agenda?, Obama dislike of Israel?

Egypt uprising, Obama manufactured crisis?, Obama muslim agenda?, Obama dislike of Israel?

“Why has Obama, for over 2 years, employed numerous private and government attorneys to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?”…Citizen Wells and millions of concerned Americans

I have been very busy lately and like most Americans have been trying to make some sense out of the uprising and strife in Egypt. It came to me in 2 articles that just came out. The first is from John Hammer of the Rhinoceros Times of Greensboro, NC. John Hammer, writing from the hometown of Edward R. Murrow, nails it again.

“It appears that the Obama administration is a step slow on the Egyptian crisis, but that may not be the case.

The news media keep reporting that the Obama administration is reactive rather than pro active and that is certainly a possibility. President Barack Hussein Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have on the job training but no background in international diplomacy, other than the fact that Clinton had tea with the spouses while the heads of state discussed matters of international concern.

But there is an alternative scenario. Things in Egypt could be going just the way Obama wants them to go. If Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is forced to resign, then under almost any scenario the Muslim Brotherhood, known as Hamas in Israel, gains power. Under many scenarios the Muslim Brotherhood gains control of the country. If the Muslim Brotherhood gains control of Egypt, can a war with Israel be far behind?

The White House has already recognized that the Muslim Brotherhood will probably be part of a new government and said hey would have to reject violence and accept democratic goals if the US was going to be happy with them. Of course, there is not much reason to think that the Muslim Brotherhood gives a hoot what the White House wants them to do, and if they gain control of the country they are not going to be running it with the intention of keeping the US happy.

The situation is made far more volatile because Obama clearly has no love for Israel. When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came to the White House to meet with Obama last March, Obama showed his disdain, or perhaps dislike, for him and the country he represents. It is standard operating procedure at the White House when hosting a visiting head of state to have a photo session. Obama refused to have one with Netanyahu, which was rude. But then, in an almost unprecedented affront, Obama left the negotiating table to go eat dinner with his family while Netanyahu and his retinue were left to cool their heels until Obama found time for them again.

Obama has no love for Israel, but he appears to have much love for the Muslim nations who hate Israel. In the Obama worldview, to have Egypt move from the friend of Israel column to the enemy of Israel column may be a move in the right direction.

It is a scary thought that the president of the United States would be in favor of something so detrimental to the interests of the United States, but if you read Obama’s memoir, Dreams from my Father, you find that Obama is not a big fan of the US.

It is entirely possible that Obama sees the Muslim Brotherhood taking over Egypt as something that politically he could not encourage, but now that it is happening on its own he supports it.”

The Obama Administration is the worst since the Carter Administration and is even scarier due to the Muslim influence on Barack Obama. The following will come as no surprise.

From Canada Free Press  February 3, 2011.

“PRESS RELEASE
FORMER PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER NAMED IN CLASS ACTION SUIT FILED IN NEW YORK COURT ALLEGING DECEPTIONS AND FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATIONS IN BOOK ATTACKING ISRAEL
NEW YORK: An historic class action suit has been filed against former President Jimmy Carter and the Simon & Schuster publishing company alleging that Carter’s book, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, contained numerous false and knowingly misleading statements intended to promote the author’s agenda of anti-Israel propaganda and to deceive the reading public instead of presenting accurate information as advertised. The suit, captioned Unterberg et al. v. Jimmy Carter et.al (11 cv 0720), filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, seeks compensatory and punitive damages.
The plaintiffs, who hope to have the case certified as a class action, are members of the reading public who purchased Carter’s book expecting that they were buying an accurate and factual record of historic events concerning Israel and the Palestinian Arabs. The lawsuit contends that Carter, who holds himself out as a Middle-East expert, and his publisher, intentionally presented untrue and inaccurate information and sought to capitalize on the author’s status as a former President to mislead unsuspecting members of the public. The complaint alleges that the defendants’ misrepresentations, all highly critical of Israel, violate New York consumer protection laws, specifically New York General Business Law ¬ß 349, which makes it unlawful to engage in deceptive acts in the course of conducting business. While acknowledging Carter’s right to publish his personal views, the plaintiffs assert that the defendants violated the law and, thus, harmed those who purchased the book.
The suit is the first time a former President and a publishing house have been sued for violating consumer protection laws by knowingly publishing inaccurate information while promoting a book as factual.
The plaintiffs are represented by attorney David Schoen, Esq. of Montgomery, Alabama and attorney Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, Esq. of Tel-Aviv, Israel.
The complaint notes that after the book’s publication some of Carter’s closest aides, including distinguished public officials and scholars personally involved in the events described, condemned the book as untruthful. Despite being presented with irrefutable proof that many of representations in the book are false, the defendants have refused to make any corrections.
Attorney Schoen stated that:
“It is, indeed, a sad day for all of us as Americans, when a former President demeans the dignity of his office by intentionally misstating critically important facts concerning events of great historic significance and public interest, simply to advance a personal anti-Israel animus and to foster the agenda of the enemies of Israel who pump so much money into the Center which bears his name.”
Attorney Darshan-Leitner stated that:
“The lawsuit will expose all the falsehoods and misrepresentations in Carter’s book and prove that his hatred of Israel has led him to commit this fraud on the public. He is entitled to his opinions but deceptions and lies have no place in works of history.””

Congressman Paul Broun, Obama eligibility, US Constitution, Broun response, Broun Paul Boehner no more status quo

Congressman Paul Broun, Obama eligibility, US Constitution, Broun response, Broun Paul Boehner no more status quo

“Why has Obama, for over 2 years, employed numerous private and government attorneys to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?”…Citizen Wells and millions of concerned Americans

We have come to  expect anti American unconstitutional positions from the Democrats. The following actions and attitudes from Republicans are unacceptable.

When asked about challenging Obama’s eligibility during the certification of Electoral College votes in 2009.

“If I did that, I would be laughed out of Congress.”…Ron Paul, December 2008

The day of the reading of the US Constitution in the House of Representatives, Speaker Boehner allowed “citizen” to be used interchangeably with “natural born citizen.”

Speaker of the House John Boehner was interviewed by Brian Williams last friday after the reading of the US Constitution in the House Chambers and the shout of “Except Obama, except Obama” when the Natural Born Citizen clause was read. Williams continues the Orwellian tradition of the mainstream media of obfuscating the Obama eligibility issues by using citizen instead of Natural Born Citizen. Boehner, as Speaker of the House, should know better and should have corrected Williams. Otherwise, we have just another Pelosi look alike.

From The Post & Email February 2, 2011.

“I sent the following email to my U.S. congressman, Rep. Paul Broun:
Dear Rep. Broun,
I saw your interview following the SOTU with CBS.
I think it is imperative that just ONE elected Representative in D.C. stand up for the Constitution. I am PRAYING you are that hero. Barack claims that his father is Barack Sr., a British/Kenyan subject/citizen. It makes no difference where he was born, by our Constitution, he is not eligible as a dual citizen. He has admitted his dual citizenship on his own website, and in his own writings.”

“Rep. Broun’s response:
Thank you for recently contacting me with your kind remarks regarding the strong stances I have taken in Congress. Your words were very encouraging, and I am excited to hear that you are engaged in the political process.
In these tough times we must all work together to make America better for future generations. For my part, I will continue to fight for life, fiscal responsibility, and transparency in government. I hope that you will join this fight and encourage your friends and family to be as engaged as you are.”

The response from Congressman Paul Broun’s office appears to be a form letter, standard response. We need to contact Paul Broun and educate him. Once again, when you are discussing Obama’s eligibility issues with congressmen or those around you, keep it simple. While I agree that Obama is not a natural born citizen due to his father being British/Kenyan, it is subject to debate. Ask the non debatable question first.

“Why has Obama, for over 2 years, employed numerous private and government attorneys to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?

Next mention that the Governor of Hawaii, Neil Abercrombie, could find no birth certificate for Obama.

Then inform them that Tim Adams, who worked in a Hawaii elections office in 2008, has signed an affidavit stating that there was no birth certificate in Hawaii for Obama in 2008.

If they mention the COLB, inform them it is a document that refers to another document and is not proof of birth in Hawaii.

Keep it simple and non debatable.

“Why has Obama, for over 2 years, employed numerous private and government attorneys to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?”…Citizen Wells and millions of concerned Americans

“Why has Bill O’Reilly continued to insult Americans who question Obama’s eligibility and not asked the simple journalistic questions about Obama?”

Why has Obama agreed to be interviewed by Bill O’Reilly on Superbowl Sunday? Because birds of a feather, narcissists, flock together, and he knows that it is all about O’Reilly and not getting at the truth.

It is obvious to even the casual observer that Obama is a narcissist. Here is a great article about O’Reilly from News Hounds.

“A “Narcissistic Personality” is one who has a “grandiose sense of self importance” and who “expects to be recognized as superior.” These characteristics would seem to describe Bill O’Reilly whose greatest fan is Bill O’Reilly. Bill’s ego (and one assumes other body parts) appears to have a pathological need to be “stroked.” (ewww) As such, his interview segment on August 10th, was yet another shameless display of America’s narcissistic Daddy’s self promotion while seeking the adulation of others. And like “culture warriors” and a new Factor segment, “Dumb and Dumber” (which features Juliette Huddy and another young woman whose first name is Faith) it was yet another “threesome” in which Bill got to play the alpha male – which could be part of the “authoritarian” aspect of narcissism.”

We have made great strides in getting the truth out about Obama. Now is the time to take it to the next level. Once again I refer to the concept of “six degrees of separation.”

“Six degrees of separation is the theory that anyone on the planet can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances that has no more than five intermediaries. ”

This is powerful. However, the message must be concise, easy to understand and not debatable. This is what I recommend.

  • Ask the question: “Why has Obama, for over 2 years, employed numerous private and government attorneys to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?
  • Inform them that Neil Abercrombie, the new Governor of Hawaii, could find no record of a birth certificate there.
  • Inform them that Tim Adams, an election official in Hawaii in 2008, has signed an affidavit stating that there was no birth certificate for Obama in Hawaii in 2008.
  • Ask them why Bill O’Reilly has not asked questions about any of the above and why he questioned Lou Dobbs for asking simple questions.
  • Tell them to contact their congressmen and demand an investigation.

Lou Dobbs, while still on CNN, asked the simple, obvious question about Obama’s birth certificate. Bill O’Reilly attempts to make him appear foolish for doing so.

Ed Koch Palin defense, Palin highly intelligent, We should denounce unfair false and wicked charges

Ed Koch Palin defense, Palin highly intelligent,  We should denounce unfair false and wicked charges

I heard Rush Limbaugh mention recently that Ed Koch, former mayor of New York City, had not only defended Sarah Palin, but praised her. God bless Ed Koch.

From Real Clear Politics january 18, 2011.

“As I see it, in the current battle for public opinion Sarah Palin has defeated her harsh and unfair critics.

After the January 8 shooting of U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords and the murder of six others in Tucson, Arizona, some television talking heads and members of the blogosphere denounced her and held her in part responsible for creating a climate of hatred that resulted in the mass attacks.

 
An example is Joe Scarborough and his crew on the “Morning Joe” show, which I watch and generally enjoy every morning at 6:30 a.m. when I rise to start the day. Because Palin designated Congresswoman Giffords and others for defeat in the November elections by the use of crosshairs on website maps of the Congressional districts, they blamed Palin for creating an atmosphere that caused Jared Loughner (whom everyone now recognizes as being mentally disturbed) to embark on the shooting and killing spree.”

“How dare Sarah Palin, cried the commentators, use that phrase to describe the criticism of her by those who blamed her for creating the atmosphere that set Loughner off in his murderous madness. Some took the position that it proved their ongoing charges that she is not an intelligent person and probably did not know what the phrase meant historically. In my opinion, she was right to denounce her critics and use blood libel to describe the unfair criticism that she had been subject to.”

“Why do I defend Palin in this case? I don’t agree with her political philosophy: She is an arch conservative. I am a liberal with sanity. I know that I am setting myself up for attack when I ask, why did Emile Zola defend Dreyfus? Palin is no Dreyfus and I am certainly no Zola. But all of us have an obligation, particularly those in politics and public office, to denounce, when we can, the perpetrators of horrendous libels and stand up for those falsely charged. We should denounce unfair, false and wicked charges not only when they are made against ourselves, our friends or our political party but against those with whom we disagree. If we are to truly change the poisonous political atmosphere that we all complain of, including those who create it, we should speak up for fairness when we can.

In the 2008 presidential race when Sarah Palin’s name was first offered to the public by John McCain as his running mate, I said at the time that she “scared the hell out of me.” My reference was to the content of her remarks, not to her power to persuade voters.

It was McCain who lost the presidential election, not Palin. Since that time she has established that she has enormous power to persuade people. A self-made woman who rose from PTA mother to Governor of Alaska, she is one of the few speakers in public life who can fill a stadium. Her books are enormous successes. Her television program about Alaska has been a critical and economic success. When Sarah Palin addresses audiences, they rise to their feet in support and applause. She is without question a major leader of the far right faction in the Republican Party and its ally the Tea Party.

I repeat my earlier comment that she “scares the hell out of me.” Nevertheless, she is entitled to fair and respectful treatment. The fools in politics today in both parties are those who think she is dumb. I’ve never met her, but I’ve always thought that she is highly intelligent but not knowledgeable in many areas and politically uninformed. I don’t believe she will run for president in 2012 or that she would be elected if she did. But I do believe she is equal in ability to many of those in the Republican Party seeking that office.

Many women understand what she has done for their cause. She will not be silenced nor will she leave the heavy lifts to the men in her Party. She will not be falsely charged, remain silent, and look for others – men – to defend her. She is plucky and unafraid.

While I disagree with her and I am prepared to oppose her politically, in the spirit of longed-for civility I say, Ms. Palin you are in a certain sense an example of the American dream: You have the courage to stand up and present your vision of America to its people. Your strength and lack of fear make America stronger and are examples to be emulated by girls and boys, men and women who are themselves afraid to speak up. You provide the example that they need for self-assurance.”
