Obama job application, References, Smoking, Drug test, Obama honest?, Would Obama get the Job? Would Obama pass a drug test?

Hi Mr. Obama, my name is Uncle Sam. I am the personnel director
at US Govco. Mr. Obama, we have contacted your references and reviewed your application. There are a number of issues we need to resolve:

1. Your current employer states that you have been absent more than
present and they are not sure what you have been working on.

2. On your application you checked non smoker, but we have verification
of you smoking recently.

3. And, oh, by the way, one of your family members mentioned another
name you went by. You left alias blank on the application.

4. You indicated on your application that you are a US citizen. However, our investigator, after much digging discovered a lawsuit by an attorney, Philip J Berg, that states you are not a US citizen. 

5. And one last item, we requested a drug test. We require that of
all applicants. Why have you not taken the drug test?

All of you that have ever applied for a job know that the above
credentials and information are asked of the average citizen when
applying for a job.

Is Obama any better than you?

Should we expect any less of the president?

The View, Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, Larry Sinclair, John McCain, Cindy McCain, The view attacks McCains, DEAR WHOOPI

John and Cindy McCain were recently on “The View” and treated poorly. Most of those on “The View” are obviously in bed with Obama. Joy Behar spoke of lies coming from the McCain campaign. That is in line with the standard Obama camp approach of personal attacks on anyone asking questions of their messiah Obama. Larry Sinclair has put up a post in the form of a letter asking Whoopi Goldberg, “what happened to the independent, fair minded, and no BS woman I got to know and admire?” Here is the post from Larry Sinclair:

DEAR WHOOPI

UPDATED 9-13-08 @ 4:42 PM CDT
In response to a comment submitted to this article I wanted to make something clear. This letter is not in any way attacking or degrading Whoopi (whom I personally owe a debt of gratitude), but is asking the simple question, “What happened to the Whoopi I knew and loved?”

Dear Whoopi,

I am writing you this open letter to ask, what happened to the independent, fair minded, and no BS woman I got to know and admire?

After watching portions of the “VIEW” with John and Cindy McCain, I noticed the woman who I had gotten to know has changed into yet another “mouth piece” for the Obama media circus.

What happened to the Whoopi who used to be scared of nothing and who kissed no ones ass? We got to know each other well over the ten (10) years you helped pay my school tuition, you sent all the post cards and letters from all the film festivals, the monthly packages of the Hollywood Reporter and Variety, all the Reebok shoes when you were there spokeswoman. What happen to the lady who didn’t give a shit when people trashed you for always having white men instead of a black boyfriend? What happened to the woman that used to say the truth mattered more than the hype?

What happened to Whoopi? Where was Whoopi when Michelle Obama appeared on the VIEW? Why didn’t you ask Michelle about Barack being on the dow low? Why didn’t you ask what Michelle thought of Barack’s lover Donald Young (whom Michelle knew) being murdered in cold blood? Why didn’t you ask Michelle or Barack about Barack Smoking crack Cocaine in 1999?

Whoopi, I know you knew about all of this because I emailed it to you, and even faxed it to your Whoop, Inc/One Ho Productions offices.

What happened to the Whoopi I knew and admired and shared so much with? I guess Ron Holder would ask the same question, Where is the Whoopi I knew and loved?”

Obama, King of lies, diversions and deception, The View, Joy Behar, Politico blog, Politico reports lies, Personal attacks Hallmark of Obama camp

How does one talk about Obama without being negative?

Should we make ties to crime, corruption, anti Americanism,
anti semitism, terrorists, and constant lies positives?

Politico.com, the same blog that reported lies about Larry Sinclair
before, during and after his arrest at the National Press Club,
has the audacity to post an article questioning John McCain’s
honesty and uses “The View” as a source for the argument. Joy Behar
is quoted as saying “They’re lies,” in reference to comments made by the McCain campaign. This comes from a group of people that would
not know the truth if it bit them on the ass.

Most of the women on “The View” clearly have a left wing agenda
and if Politico is not being paid by the Obama camp, you wouldn’t
know it. Think about it, Obama, the most documented liar that
has ever run for office (this includes court testimony) is given a
free ride and John McCain, who is known for his integrity and sense
of fairness, is being attacked. No surprise. That is the hallmark
of the Obama campaign and Politico and “The View” are an integral
part of the Obama Campaign. Here are some exerpts from the Politico
article:

“Why McCain is going so negative, so often
By JONATHAN MARTIN | 9/13/08 7:10 AM EST”

“John McCain has essentially claimed he’s savaged Obama because the Illinois senator wouldn’t agree to the series of town hall meetings McCain proposed.”

“It’s hard to imagine a more unlikely perch for John McCain to be shamed for his increasingly hard-edged and truth-stretching campaign than the middle seat on “The View.”

Yet on Friday morning, there sat the Republican nominee – a politician who has built an all but saintly reputation for “straight talk” over the years – caught in a vise between Joy Behar and Barbara Walters and getting a lecture from each on honesty.

“They’re lies,” Behar said of two recent lines of attack from the McCain campaign”

“McCain’s tactics are drawing the scorn of many in the media and organizations tasked with fact-checking the truthfulness of campaigns. In recent weeks, Team McCain has been described as dishonorable, disingenuous and downright cynical.”

“The negative and often exaggerated or misleading claims being made about Obama and Delaware Sen. Joe Biden, especially those playing on Palin’s gender, are just too irresistible for the process-consumed online and cable news media that now drives the campaign conversation, Weaver said.”

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0908/13412.html

So, to sum this up, Obama lies, attacks, has more baggage that a 747 and if anyone questions that, they are attacking or telling lies?

Does that make sense to you?

Boycott the sponsors of “The View”. Send a message you do not approve of their tactics.

Hillary replaces Biden, Biden steps down, Obama next?, Philip J Berg lawsuit, Obama not qualified, Obama indictment, Soap Opera?, Can Democrats survive Drama?

Last night I spoke to Larry Sinclair. He was given a heads up from some Washington insiders that he made contact with months ago. I was already aware of the insiders. I have discussed Joe Biden’s comments with bloggers and those around me. Even Rush Limbaugh has been raising questions about Biden. Here is the post I made last night:

https://citizenwells.wordpress.com/2008/09/11/joe-biden-hillary-clinton-philip-j-berg-obama-lawsuit-biden-comments-larry-sinclair-hillary-replace-obama-hillary-replace-biden-did-biden-open-the-door-to-bow-out-biden-dropping-out/

I received an email this afternoon and here is a portion of it:

“We have received information from sources high in the Democratic Party that , in a total desperation move, Hillary Rodham Clinton will replace the hapless Joe Biden as V-P candidate on the Obama ticket.   I will send out more information on this in several minutes.   Hillary Clinton has said that Barack Obama is not qualified to be Commander-in-Chief.  He hasn’t grown any more qualified presumably in the past few weeks.  As the saying goes, “It took a Republican to have the Obama Dems name a woman to the ticket.”

 

 

Can this possibly be true?

Will Hillary replace Biden?

Is Obama qualified to be president?

Is Hillary posturing to replace Obama?

My God, this does sound like a soap opera! 

I do not believe many Hillary supporters would back the ticket with her as VP. The damage may have already been done.

Are the Democrats testing the waters?

Obama not US citizen, McCain is US citizen, Philip J Berg lawsuit, Obama not Qualified, US Code: Title 8, Section 1403, McCain is qualified

 Philip J Berg filed a lawsuit in Philadephia Federal Court, and it
has been served on Barack Obama, DNC and FEC. The basis of the suit
is Obama:
Is not a natural-born citizen; and/or
Lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia; and/or
Has dual loyalties because of his citizenship with Kenya and Indonesia

Many commenters on this blog and throughout the country are confused about the laws regarding eligibility to be president and some believe that McCain is not eligible. He clearly is. However, the same is not true for Obama. It is apparent that Obama was born in Kenya. 

The following was posted by Leeballz, a regular commenter on Citizen Wells. I would like to thank Leeballz again for all the help provided.

“Apparently I can’t post this enough:

US Code: Title 8, Section 1403.

Persons born in the Canal Zone or Republic of Panama on or after February 26, 1904

(a) Any person born in the Canal Zone on or after February 26, 1904, and whether before or after the effective date of this chapter, whose father or mother or both at the time of the birth of such person was or is a citizen of the United States, is declared to be a citizen of the United States.

(b) Any person born in the Republic of Panama on or after February 26, 1904, and whether before or after the effective date of this chapter, whose father or mother or both at the time of the birth of such person was or is a citizen of the United States employed by the Government of the United States or by the Panama Railroad Company, or its successor in title, is declared to be a citizen of the United States.

http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/8/1403.html

Michael,

You are right that if Obama was born in Hawaii that he would be eligible. If he was borne outside of the U.S. (or outside of any U.S. controlled areas abroad like military bases) he would not be. Unless of course there is a law that did give him eligibility if borne abroad; like his mother being able to transfer that right to him. However, if he was a citizen and he moved to another country and received citizenship there, then he would have dual citizenship. As I mentioned above, I don’t think dual citizenship would disqualify him. I have dual citizenship, but was borne not 20 miles from Washington, D.C. I believe I would be eligible if I wanted to run. Again, though if the country that he took up residence in, required him to denounce or revoke his U.S. citizenship and he never reinstated it (if that’s even possible), then we have a huge problem over a rather small technicality. The huge problem is called “Precedent.” The funny thing with it is if you set it, then it is very hard to get rid of. I don’t think this office is one that needs to cause a constitutional crisis or constitutional amendment for one candidate.

So I think this lawsuit should be an easy thing for Obama to settle and if so, then he will gain many more votes from it. He should be excited to prove his citizenship because of that reason, yet he hasn’t publicly challenged it except for a disputed birth certificate on an obscure website. Why? Why hasn’t he produced the records from the hospital, I would presume he could have gotten them on his vacation. However, those who wish to think negatively of him will still see the possibility of forgery, but he can then disprove that too if that is false.

Questions are good, they provide answers.”

Philip J Berg filed a lawsuit in Philadephia Federal Court, and it
has been served on Barack Obama, DNC and FEC. The basis of the suit
is Obama:
Is not a natural-born citizen; and/or
Lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia; and/or
Has dual loyalties because of his citizenship with Kenya and Indonesia

The MSM has failed the American public. Philip J Berg is a Democrat who tried to provide information to the Democratic Delegates before the convention, and because of a lack of coverage by the MSM and pressure from the DNC and the likes of Nancy Pelosi to push the nomination of Obama, was unable to affect the nomination. However, Mr. Berg is still trying to prevent a constitutional crisis and is moving ahead with the lawsuit. Obama has been served and must respond by September 24, 2008. Many commenters on this blog have questioned the motives of the lawsuit. Jeff Schreiber, who studies law and writes articles on his excellent blog site, interviewed Philip J Berg on August 23, 2008. Here are some exerpts from this must read interview:

“Saturday, August 23, 2008
A Conversation with Philip J. Berg, Esq.
 
Fairly late yesterday evening, I had the opportunity to speak with Philip Berg, the Philadelphia attorney who filed suit against Illinois senator Barack Obama in Federal Court in Philadelphia, questioning the constitutional eligibility of his candidacy for president.”

“I have had no direct or indirect contact with anyone on the Hillary Clinton campaign. Did I help her in the primaries? Yes. Was I in favor of her over Obama? Yes. What did I do? I contributed some money and made some phone calls to various states for her. Other than that, I attended one Montgomery County [PA] Democratic Committee dinner at which her daughter spoke, though for the record, Obama’s representative was also at the same function. So, am I closely involved with them? No.

And as I told you this afternoon, even among those who helped me prepare for this case, while I know they may be against Obama’s violation of the Constitution, I do not even know nor have I asked where they stand politically.”

“That, and he had an excuse for everything. His phony responses to the Rev. [Jeremiah] Wright issue turned me off. He said “I never knew what he was like.” He was a member of that church for twenty years. Twenty years! When the story first broke, he went on all of the television and cable stations and claimed he was never in the pew when Rev. Wright made any of these remarks. By the time he made his speech in Philadelphia days later—a speech that the mainstream media agreed might have been the best in the history of the world—he did a complete turnabout and admitted that he was in the pew at the time of the remarks. At what point is enough, enough?”

“I chalk much of his success up to the influence and agenda setting of the mainstream media. Speaking of which, are you happy with the coverage which the mainstream press has given your civil action?

Well, no. First of all, the mainstream media hasn’t covered it yet. I’m doing an interview with a journalist tomorrow morning at 10:00 who says he’ll be able to get it out into the mainstream media.”

“Of course some people might look at me and assume I’m doing this because he’s black. I’m not. I’m Jewish, and I’m a life-long member of the NAACP, so people will be hard-pressed to confront me on any of those issues.”

“Look, the truth comes down to this — at this point in time, it’s time to fish or cut bait, time to stop pussy-footing around. At this point in time, Obama owes it to people to produce the documents. If I’m wrong, even if he doesn’t want to handle it himself and has the person in charge of his campaign communications come out and say, “here is the vault copy of the birth certificate, here is the certified copy of his oath of allegiance from when he came back from Indonesia, this issue should be put to bed and Mr. Berg should withdraw his suit immediately or we’ll sue him to high heaven,” then I’m wrong. If they do not do that within the next day or so, then I know we’re right. If they let the case linger, then I believe we’re right. The challenge I’ve made to them is that, if they don’t produce these documents, then we know they’re wrong.”
“In terms of credibility, my very successful record in big cases shows some of that. I’m the only attorney in the country to defeat “cell phone” legislation in Hilltown Township, Bucks County, PA, meant to ban the use of hand-held cell phones while behind the wheel of a car, and did that pro bono. I have also represented PAWS—Performing Animal Welfare Society—in California, pro bono, protecting the rights of abused circus elephants, and was extremely successful in that case. My record, over the years, is such that I can stand on my own two feet in front of anyone.”

Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Philip J Berg, Obama lawsuit, Biden comments, Larry Sinclair, Hillary replace Obama, Hillary replace Biden, Did Biden open the door to bow out?, Biden dropping out?

Today the Citizen Wells blog doubled it’s viewership record for
one day. One article, an update on the Philip J Berg lawsuit
that has been served on Obama, the DNC and the FEC, got the lion’s
share of views. Why did this happen? Am I a great writer? Probably
not. The real answer is that the American people are starved for
the truth about Obama and the MSM is failing them. Of course I am
getting help from other bloggers and readers for which I am
truly grateful. The lack of coverage of Obama by the MSM is a huge
story that will continue to unwind through the election cycle.

However, there is another story that is connected to the Philip J
Berg lawsuit and other stories.

For several days, commenters on this blog, other bloggers and people
around me have been discussing Joe Biden and especially the comments
he recently made about Hillary Clinton. Is Joe Biden opening the
door to bow out? Was this part of a prearranged plan? Rush Limbaugh
claims to have predicted Biden’s actions for some time.

A few hours ago, I posted the following on twitter.com/citizenwells
and I did so without discussing it with Larry Sinclair. Here is what
I posted:

Option

1. Obama disqualified/indicted before election.

2. Obama disqualified/indicted after election, before oath of office.

3. Obama impeached/indicted after oath of office.

4. Obama loses (preferred). Hillary waits 4 years.

Hillary’s odds are good.

For months I have read hundreds of comments regarding the election
and I have come to the conclusion that there is something resembling
a collective consciousness occuring.

Larry Sinclair called me a few minutes ago about some information
he received and about conversations we had when he was in Washington
DC for the Democrats Meeting. (Clarification for MSM, ongoing
conversations occur when you follow a story). All I can say about
what he told me then is that it involved people connected to
Hillary. Larry told me he justed posted a new article and here it is:

“Thursday, September 11, 2008
IS JOE BIDEN GOING TO WITHDRAW FROM THE OBAMA TICKET TO MAKE ROOM FOR HILLARY?
Is Joe Biden going to withdraw from the Obama/Biden ticket to make room for Hillary Clinton?

Could some of my meetings and phone conversation while in DC in May and June of 2008 now being used to have Joe Biden withdraw for personal or medical reasons from the Democratic ticket, making way for Hillary Clinton? This is the feeling coming from some people and it would explain some high level contacts and communications in May and June while I was in DC.

Nothing would surprise me in the Obama camp and I can only say I hope that there is no truth to the emails I am receiving.”

Obama not qualified for presidency lawsuit, Philip J Berg, EXPEDITED DISCOVERY, September 10, 2008, SEEKS DEPOSITION OF BARACK OBAMA AND HOWARD DEAN BY END OF MONTH, Jeff Schreiber explains

We received the following from Philip J Berg last night and posted it this morning:

“Hi Mr. Wells,

If Senator Obama is unable to prove his citizenship, which we feel he is unable to do, he will not be able to serve as president.  In a case such as this, if this is learned before the presidential election, then according to the National Chairperson of the Democratic National Committe will confer with the Democratic leadership of the United States Congress and the Democratic Governors Association, whom will  report to the Democratic National Committee which is authorized to fill the vacancy, the names of the candidate picks.

If Senator Obama were to be elected as President, he would be removed and the Vice President would take the President’s position.

If Senator Obama is indicted prior to taking his oath, I believe, and of course this would be a first, but I believe it would still go to Biden.

Just to update you a bit, I just filed a Motion for Expedited Discovery, Extensive Discovery, Deposition of Senator Obama and Howard Dean, Chairman of the DNC.  This may get things moving a bit.

In addition, Senator Obama and the DNC must have their Answer to the complaint filed by September 24, 2008.  The FEC has until October 21, 2008.

Make sure to check for updates on our website at obamacrimes.com

Jeff Schreiber, describes himself as:

“Legal writer by day, exhausted law student by night. Lucky husband and proud father throughout.”

 Jeff Schreiber has explained the Motion For Expedited Discovery and Deposition Of Barack Obama on his website. Here are some exerpts from Jeff Schreiber’s explanation:

“At 8:55 this evening, and as promised weeks ago, Philip Berg filed a Motion for Extensive and Expedited Discovery in the Philadelphia federal court where, a little more than two weeks ago, he filed suit contesting Illinois Sen. Barack Obama’s constitutional eligibility for the presidency.

Per this evening’s motion, Berg is seeking results on two fronts: First, that Sen. Obama and DNC Chair Howard Dean sit for depositions at the courthouse in Philadelphia running no less than three hours in length and presided over by a court-appointed Special Master; and second, that the defendants–Obama, the DNC and the Federal Election Commission–turn over documentation connected with the vetting process and the background of the Democratic Party nominee. Upon receiving confirmation that Obama and the DNC have been served with the motion–the U.S. Attorney’s office has entered appearance on behalf of the FEC–Berg plans to petition the Hon. R. Barclay Surrick for an immediate telephone conference on the need for the discovery process to begin and move along as quickly as possible.”

“Listen, more and more I believe we’re correct on this, and if we are then Obama cannot be president, and the United States of America will be headed toward a constitutional crisis.”

“DEPOSITIONS

Berg is asking for a court order that Barack Obama and Howard Dean each submit to a deposition at the Federal Courthouse in Philadelphia, a “neutral location,” and that the depositions (1) must be no less than three hours in length, (2) must be presided over by a court-appointed Special Master, and (3) must be undertaken by September 31, 2008.”

“DISCOVERY

If Berg’s Motion for Extensive and Expedited Discovery, filed today, were granted, Barack Obama would be ordered to turn over the following items within ten days of the order:
A “Genuine Certified Copy” of his “vault version” of his Birth Certificate.
Any and all certificates or other registrations of birth from Canada, Kenya, the British Isles and the United States in the name of Barack Hussein Obama, Barry Soetoro, and others.

A “Certified Copy” of the U.S. Oath of Allegiance required to be taken in order to regain any U.S. Citizenship status.
Any and all passport records including applications and travel logs connected with passports issued to Obama–or any previously used names–in Indonesia, Kenya, the United States and more.
Any and all adoption records, including records detailing the adoption of Obama by his presumed Indonesian stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, as well as his grandparents, the Dunhams.

A copy of his FBI background check used in the vetting process.
A copy of the “vault” version of his Birth Certificate from Kenya.
Any and all applications for a social security number and replacement social security cards.
Any and all applications and court documents detailing a name change.
Within 20 days of the court order, should the motion be granted, Berg is also seeking other records which would provide a window into Barack Obama’s past, including but not limited to college applications and records from Occidental College, Harvard and Harvard Law School, Columbia University, the University of Chicago and any other schools to which Obama applied, as well as any applications for college grants and loans, copies of any college thesis papers or other essays written which could shed light on his life, background, heritage and childhood.

The request for these items, as well as requests for Obama’s baptismal records, listings of memberships to all clubs and organizations, copies of his Selective Service Registration and any Harvard Law Review articles he penned, made me wonder if Berg was seizing an opportunity to use discovery–should the civil action go so far–to really fill in some gaps in Obama’s background. Surely, I wasn’t the only one who questioned why no long-term acquaintances other than his wife, Michelle, has ever come forth to talk about Barack, tell stories about Barack, praise Barack or even criticize Barack like we see with so many other political candidates.”

I received the following comment on this blog this morning:

“A friend just told me that her middle school aged son is using this info on a paper for a school project. Some high school newspaper is likely to break this story before the MSM!!”

This story has been ignored by the MSM. However, many Americans are getting this story and the truth about Obama from this blog and others on the internet. I am in contact with a major talk show host regarding this story. This host has begun researching it. The MSM will continue to look biased and foolish for failing the American public.

Obama, Chicago corruption, Rezko, Daley, Levine, Blagojevich, Emil Jones, John Kass, Chicago Tribune, September 6, 2008, A Democratic machine in Chicago? Don’t be naive

Once again, John Kass and the Chicago Tribune come through and address the ties between Obama and Chicago corruption. This time the approach is tongue in cheek, in response to Giuliani’s reference to the Chicago machine at the Republican National Convention. Here are some exerpts from the article:
“A Democratic machine in Chicago? Don’t be naive
John Kass
4:40 PM CDT, September 6, 2008”

“There is no Chicago Democratic machine. Mayor Richard Daley says so.”

“Rather, the current mayor was applying reason. When Republicans dared suggest that Obama was not a mythic reformer riding on a unicorn named Change, but actually some sort of silky creature of the Daley machine (which does not exist), those foolish Republicans were so very wrong.”

“The reporters might put on tinfoil hats to shield them from the channeling of Daley/Obama strategist David Axelrod, and such newfound clarity might cause the journalists to wonder, horrified, whether Obama’s gentle unicorn is actually named Cosmo and draws a paycheck from the Department of Streets and Sanitation.”

“When Obama is president and the red phone rings at 3 a.m. and Cosmo says that the Russians have put planes in the air, don’t worry about it. He’ll make a decision. He’ll call White House chief of staff Bill Daley. Bill will call Rich. And Rich will call the boss of all the brothers, Michael Daley, the city’s top zoning lawyer who’ll be running the Justice Department, and a decision will be made. So don’t worry.”

“By Daley’s reasoning, Obama’s first machine patron, state Sen. President Emil Jones (D-ComEd) wasn’t part of the machine either, even though for years Jones was double-dipping as a city sewer inspector. According to legend, Jones inspected sewers while wearing a luxurious camel’s hair coat and alligator shoes and never got a speck of dirt on his finery.

And all the Daley political hacks in federal prison now, convicted of illegally rigging city jobs to build a giant army of political workers who had to get out the vote to get promotions, they’re probably just dreaming. They’re not really in prison. They’re just having a nightmare. They’ll wake up on Nov. 5.”
