"He will have a role as one of my advisers," Obama said on NBC's "Today" a day after earning the endorsement of Powell, who is also a retired four-star general and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.A Bush Administration official as an advisor to 0bama?
Is this development more likely to hurt him because it takes him away from campaigning, or more likely to help him because of a sympathy vote?
Couple of paragraphs from an Andy Martin email I received this AM:
Before my team left for Hawai’i I predicted we would bring down Obama. By sheer coincidence, one TV network was interested in my mission and has been tagging along with a camera crew.
Monday (today) we petitioned the Hawai’i Supreme Court to order Obama’s secret birth records released.
How did Obama respond? He suddenly discovered that his grandmother, who had supposedly been released from her hospital a week ago, when he showed no interest in her, needed his immediate attention. Cool, calm, collected Obama suddenly suspended his campaign and headed for Hawai’i.
High Noon.
EMERGENCY PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
INTRODUCTION AND PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The question of the authenticity and public availability of the birth certificate of Senator Barack Obama (hereinafter “Obama”) has become a source of increasing embarrassment for Hawai’i Government.
Although Obama has purportedly posted a copy of his birth certificate on his own web site, and others claim to have posted other versions, Obama refuses to allow public access to the official records of the State of Hawaii.
Petitioner is an author and columnist who came to Hawai’i to do research on Obama’s years in Hawai’i. After arriving in Honolulu, Petitioner decided he needed a copy of the original birth certificate, as well as any official files relating to the issuance of said certificate.
The Executive Branch Department of Health has repeatedly and egregiously mischaracterized the Hawai’i statute governing access to birth certificates, and did so again on October 17th in a statement to the Honolulu Advertiser.
Petitioner applies to this Court for an appropriate writ, and offers two separate avenues of potential relief for the Court to consider.
I thought his small town values mother, who was raised in Kansas and as a single mother on food stamps often struggled to make ends meet, was the one who raised him.
Well he isn’t in any big rush to get there. He throws this news out on a Monday night about a late Thursday trip?
Garbage story.
Caren Bohan is the author of the article
His grandmother did not desert him when BOTH his parents did. NOTE what a lousy grandson he is...she is ill, and he cant make it till THURSDAY??? There’s more to this story.
Next up he promises fluffy kittens and cuddly puppies to all the children who nag their parents to vote for him.
Sorry, but call me skeptical.
So whats wrong with Grammy?.
She has been fine for 85 years (except for being racist) now she is suddenly ill with an undisclosed condition.
I hate to be cynical but could it be that BHO’s internals are showing that he’s in decline in the polls and this would shut up the other side since his grandmother is in “decline”? Just a thought. Since I have watched dems for years, nothing they would do would surprise me. The McCain campaign has to keep on doing what they are doing! I am afraid John McCain will go all wobbly on us!
Here’s a possibility: Obama got the fix in when he took that week off & went to Hawaii. This showdown will require his attention to make sure it goes off without a hitch.
If she is so sick, how does he know she’ll hang in there until after Thursday? Sounds suspicious to me.
why take time off, she’s right there under the bus ...
Bill Clinton is now doubly glad that Hillary was cheated out of the nomination, else he would have been the October sympathy sacrifice.
What happened to the Indonesian years?
