Pravda on Certifigate; the world is watching.
Ping.
What’s that? Is that hell? Snowing you say?
Wow, this is amazing this is Pravda.
And this is the wisest quote I have ever heard and it SO applies to Obama.
“Every con man walking free or in jail is an articulate speaker. “
Many thanks, LucyT
PING!!!!!!
Pingy Thingy.
One observation: Only the Senate-President (Cheney) is constitutionally authorized to open the EC letters during the joint session.
If the letters are opened before there are disqualification objections: Pelosi and Reid could orchestrate a sham vote to first make Obama the President-Elect, then allow Biden to immediately promote to President-Elect after the DQ, by-passing McCain.
If Cheney forces a SCOTUS DQ decision by refusing to open the letters, there’s no way for a sham vote to take place to promote Biden and so McCain is next in line (unless one Elector puts Hillary’s name in the top three list, then it could be interesting in the House vote between McCain and Hillary: each State gets one vote).
Summary: The hardball play is Cheney refuses to open the EC letters until the DQ issue plays out, which avoids a sham vote which could allow Biden to promote to President-Elect past McCain. The only way for Pelosi and Reid to block this play (somewhat crazy but we’re living in interesting time) is to impeach Cheney on the spot: not likely if he has the goods in hand.
“Every con game uses three ingredients against the target: Sell the dream. Push the greed button. Stress urgency.”
The “stress urgency” part took me to Paulson’s press conference when he said he needed ALL the power, that very day, or else the economy would collapse immediately. Not much of a doubt that he was complicit in the whole affair.
Office of the president ALLEGED!
