Leno: 'Very Dangerous to White House If Journalists Suddenly Start Asking Real Questions'
NewsBusters ^ | November 30, 2012 | Noel Sheppard

Posted on 11/30/2012 10:21:57 AM PST by Kenny

Jay Leno continued pressuring Barack Obama Thursday night.

During his opening monologue on NBC's Tonight Show, the host said, "This is very dangerous to the White House if journalists should suddenly start asking real questions” (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):

“This week, CBS News became the first news organization besides Fox to ask President Obama ‘Who changed the Benghazi talking points?’” Leno teased.

“See, this is very dangerous to the White House if journalists should suddenly start asking real questions.”

Indeed it is, Jay. Indeed it is.

Just imagine how dangerous it would have been to Obama if so-called "journalists" would have asked him real questions in 2007 when he first threw his hat into the ring.

Or in 2008. Or 2009. Et cetera. Et cetera.

On the cover of his own book and when he was running for Senator. Of course now he blames it on the publisher but he never bothered to change it did he? If you or me wrote a book and the publisher put in your bio on the cover "..and he was born in China" why would you leave it?

Then when he ran for Senator he promoted himself as being born in Kenya. Newspapers promoted him as being born in Kenya. Where did they get this? Did they just make it up out of thin air? No, they got it from him.

Just look, there's a ton of stuff out there promoting this guy as being born in Kenya. Was there some mass conspiracy by all these people? No, because HE was promoting himself as being born in Kenya!

With all the media bias out there, why didn't they say "Romney was born in Mexico?" Because they know they couldn't get away with it. With Obama though, it's the truth. He is foreign born and not only admitted it, but promoted it.

And the Hawaii state registrar legally confirmed to AZ SOS Ken Bennett that Obama’s Hawaii birth certificate is not legally valid so Hawaii can’t verify any birth facts for Obama.

Did some research and found him identified as born in Hawaii before the evidence presented in this thread. Never believed he was born in Kenya. I just think he is a bad president.

Actually, Bennett recanted and said he believes Obama was born in Hawaii.

Leno’s made his big money clowning around and getting yuks. I don’t reckon he has any children; and he may be realizing he’s been clowning while Rome burns. Now, anything he says is a joke.

No, Leno and his wife have no kids, but his wife is a big-time abortion-rights advocate. Go figure THAT one out.

Now that the election is over, it’s safe to act like a contributing member of a free society.

In time the Media will turn on Obama—he has lost his Mojo. Without them—he is nothing.

It was worse than that. When they did open their mouths, it was to mock, ridicule and demean those whom did attempt to raise the questions or provide the information.

They would all smile, laugh, nod their heads sagely saying "ain't that the truth".

If you’re referencing their dismissive nature when it came to what others were saying, I agree.

Actually, Bennett never even read the law that governed what Onaka said. How Bennett chooses to understand Onaka’s communication makes no difference to what Onaka actually verified. What matters is the law that Onaka was required to follow. It says that if he CAN verify a submitted fact he has to. And Onaka did not verify ANY of the things that Bennett submitted: that Barack Hussein Obama II, male, was born on Aug 4, 1961 in Honolulu, HI on the island of Oahu to Stanley Ann Dunham and Barack Hussein Obama.

Besides the actual birth facts submitted, Onaka would not verify that the image posted on the White House website is a “true and accurate representation of the original record on file”. Later, for KS SOS Kris Kobach, Onaka would not verify that the “information contained in” the White House image “matches the information contained” in the original record. By Hawaii law, that has to mean that it isn’t/doesn’t.

The fact that Bennett IGNORED what Onaka actually verified can be attributed to the power of the media, which also chose to ignore the law that governed what Onaka put on that piece of paper and reported that Onaka had verified the exact OPPOSITE of what Onaka legally verified. As long as the media was going to lie about it and make Bennett look like a fool if he followed the truth, Bennett was going to follow the media’s lie rather than the truth. Kobach did the same thing - aided by the mob that threatened the family of the man contesting Obama’s eligibility, who then withdrew his objection and provided the excuse for Kobach to let the mob trump the rule of law. All these guys (all state SOS’s) were informed of HI’s law and what Onaka actually verified, by attorney Larry Klayman, before they approved Obama’s name on the state ballot.

And that’s where this whole country sits, in a nutshell. We’ve already got it legally confirmed that Obama has no legally-determined birth facts saying he was born in Hawaii and thus cannot (without a legal procedure to determine his true birth facts) qualify by Jan 20th as required by the 20th Amendment - indeed, never did qualify on Jan 20, 2009 as required and so has been an unConstitutional acting POTUS for the past 4 years - but because the media will lie about it and our “leaders” are all afraid of the media, and our courts say it’s nobody else’s business, we are hanging here in a lawless state of limbo.

And that should scare the crap out of EVERYBODY.

Please show the screencaps of the Wayback page pre-dating 2004 which shows a HI birth claimed.

I’m surprised the audience didn’t boo him off the stage, in Looneyville out there on the Left Coast....

They respect the opinions of celebrities too much. They probably just sat there in confusion, trying to figure out why one cool, famous guy was "hating on" the other one.

I should say that Bennett never read the law before he claimed that what he received from Onaka was good enough for him. In fact, while he was still trying to get a response from HI he publicly stated that Obama would go on the ballot as long as Onaka sent ANYTHING back. And that’s exactly what happened. Onaka sent back legal confirmation that the HI BC is not legally valid and HI can thus not verify any birth facts for Obama.... and Obama’s name still went on the ballot.

Go figure.

After that, Attorney Larry Klayman informed Bennett and all the other state SOS’s that Onaka had confirmed a legally non-valid record. And every one of them allowed Obama on the ballot anyway. The counsel for Nebraska SOS John Gale said that anything from the DNC would get somebody on the ballot - even if the DNC people were sitting in jail for submitting a fraudulent, perjurious OCON - because the law doesn’t state that the OCON has to be LAWFUL (non-fraudulent and non-perjurious).

IOW, unless the word “lawful” is used in every place that a document is mentioned in the law, fakes are permissible.

I should purposely speed, get pulled over, and present an obviously-fake “driver’s license” under the name of Mickey Mouse. And then use the legal logic of this state lawyer to say that since the law doesn’t say it has to be a LAWFUL driver’s license (I’ll have to check out if that is the case, and if the law says that a driver has to have a LAWFUL driver’s license with them when they drive), they have to act as though I am really Mickey Mouse. Of course, when they try to press charges for failure to pay a fine, it will be Mickey Mouse who has to appear in court, and they’ll have a hard time finding Mickey Mouse at the address on that driver’s license...

Might be better just to ask the police what would happen. See if they use the same legal interpretations as that state lawyer uses - and if not, why not.
