Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. It isn’t Halloween anymore, and the skeletons are still coming out of the Obama closet.
Just when he thought Obama thought he could breath easy with the likes of Ayers, Rezko, Autchi behind him along comes Rod Blagojevich dragging the Obama name back through the slime of Chicago and Illinois politics yet again.
The full complaint is at http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/acrobat/2008-12/43789434.pdf . I highlight, the FBI affidavit said Blagojevich had been told by an adviser “the president-elect can get Rod Blagojevich’s wife on paid corporate boards in exchange for naming the president-elects pick to the Senate.”‘ Someone from the Obama team got taped for two whole hours talking about Obama’s Senate Seat up for grabs and the http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/ once again has summed up nicely the damning, mounting evidence to at the very least, Obama’s previous relationships.
Who the hell has time to sit and talk for two hours? Why doesn’t Obama look as surprised as the rest of us? Why isn’t he making passionate commentary on the issue instead spewing stoic words like Abe Lincoln? Where is his outrage? “It would be inappropriate to comment” said Obama in a statement. Where is the outrage from all those people who voted for him? No comment? Where is Bush who could appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the team that will replace his?
Who will be fired first? Patrick Fitzgerald the prosecuting attorney, or chosen one, Rahm Emanuel? Maybe Axelrod who got his dates wrong and admitted the two met but then got amnesia?
I found this humorous- Alternet http://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/112008/obama_unfairly_attacked_for_crimes_he_didn’t_commit_(again)/ writes that “numerous news organizations have been attempting to make this the first “scandal” of the Obama presidency as if Blagojevich is somehow a member of the transition or an appointee to the future administration. The truth is Obama never endorsed Blagojevich and Blagojevich never endorsed Obama. Unless you consider Blagojevich’s obnoxious “f**k him” remark to be an endorsement, that is.” I’m not sure what was more funny- that the blogger thinks this is the first scandal or the fact that both Obama and Emanuel have worked for Blagojevich’s campaign, could not be called an endorsement of Blagojevich.
Maybe they didn’t speak, maybe they did. Maybe Obama told Blago to f**k off. Maybe Obama is eligible, maybe he isn’t. Maybe, maybe, maybe someone will bring a case to the Court that maybe will put and end to all the Obaminations coming from Illinois and Obama himself.
The list of maybes attached to Obama is beyond belief and goes all the way back to the day of his birth. Maybe he was born in Hawaii, maybe he was born in Kenya. His own site www.fightthesmears.com says…
When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children. (Emphasis added.)
“There it is. Obama is telling you his status was “governed” by a foreign jurisdiction. This is no theory. This is a fact. ” says http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com/ , Leo Donofrio. The ever vigilant, poker playing attorney prepared the The Wrotnowski Supreme Court application after his own case seems to have been set aside http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=83041 The case of Wrotnowski v Bysiewicz is here http://origin.www.supremecourtus.gov/docket/08a469.htm and again brings up the eligibility issue.
So far, the wisdom of the Court has prevailed as the case did not get thrown out on its ear and is scheduled for a full conference some time today, December 15, 2008. Maybe, just maybe this case will be heard with expediency and forthrightness so that Obama is unable to dismiss lingering eligibility concerns. Maybe the Court can pick a date before January 20, 2009. The Supremes should forget Christmas break and not forget about the millions of Americans who died with honor defending our Constitution.
“If this [Obama taking office] happens, the question of eligibility for the highest office in the land will no longer even be a matter for concern,” wrote Joseph Farah, founder and editor of WorldNetDaily.
“Precedent will have been established. Arnold Schwarzenegger will suddenly be eligible to run for the office in 2012,” Farah wrote, referring to the Austrian-born California governor and film star. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/nationworld/politics/wire/chi-obama-birth-certificate1dec08,0,5873179.story
The entire issue of natural born citizen is quite the legal conundrum. Among other sites, the folks at http://therightwing.net/index.php/2008/12/09/the-natural-born-citizen-case-explained/ have an easy explanation of the natural born citizen clause and its merit to our laws for Presidency.
Obama has dismissed just about every single association he has had barring his wife and kids. I don’t think anyone has seen his marriage certificate either. On that one, let’s give him the benefit of the doubt that he is indeed married. He’s dismissed releasing not only his birth certificate but his medical records and college records. What’s to hide? Even McCain admitted he was far from a stellar student.
One thing Obama can not dismiss is the acts of The Supreme Court. Yes, some cases regarding President Elects eligibility have been dismissed but no one can dismiss the blatant “above the law” attitude that Obama has chosen for himself. No one can dismiss the fact that the Supremes are learning more and more about these matters. I begin to wonder if the courts thought process is lumping together all the issues from Berg, Donofrio, and Wrotnowski cases and coming to the conclusion that while it not be in the best interest of the nation to have an unconstitutional president, it needs to define exactly what that means.
Obama can not dismiss the fact that he is from the same Illinois political machine as other imprisoned and indited politicians nor dismiss the rulings of The Supreme Court which may today turn a full conference into a full hearing.
Obama has tried to stay ahead of the fray. Anyone who walks in the middle of the road will get run over sooner or later.
God Bless America
