This should never have been posted. Come on Freepers!! There is no justification for promulgating rumors that generate a lot of heat and no light. Electrons for internet correspondence are not in short supply, but American citizens deserve a bit more respect than this from posters. This thread should be removed so that we can get back to serious debate. A few more of these, and I will be abandoning this blog for one that can be taken seriously. As an aside, I wish it were true, but I don’t want to engage in mental masturbation and have my hopes dashed on the stones of stupidity. Do your homework before you post....please.
I simply put in "user" and applied a poster's moniker. Thus the thread is still ongoing in a secondary way. This I find most democratic and reasonable. Sure, If the main initial page has expunged the thread, as someone kindly told us that it had been expunged even the evening before- ok.
No harm done here. Very interesting to me as a genealogy nut. It is all confined to us here. The mainstream Freepers have not been drawn in. Yes, I think it a hoax. Hoax or not, it just ain't going away!
Fulbright Foundation has a list of recipients but it is password protected.
Pretty interesting. At the least, he committed fraud.
I verified this story with both World Net Daily and Mario Apuzzo and it was an April Fool’s joke.
No records have been unsealed and no proof exists he received a Fulbright Scholarship. In fact, none of the cases requesting FOIA disclosure of any Obama educational, passport, immigration, adoption, marriage, senate calendar etc etc have made it past a single judge. Every case has been dismissed and many are on appeal.
§ 7A‑66. Removal of district attorneys.
The following are grounds for suspension of a district attorney or for his removal from office:
(1) Mental or physical incapacity interfering with the performance of his duties which is, or is likely to become, permanent;
(2) Willful misconduct in office;
(3) Willful and persistent failure to perform his duties;
(4) Habitual intemperance;
(5) Conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude;
(6) Conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice which brings the office into disrepute; or
(7) Knowingly authorizing or permitting an assistant district attorney to commit any act constituting grounds for removal, as defined in subdivisions (1) through (6) hereof.
A proceeding to suspend or remove a district attorney is commenced by filing with the clerk of superior court of the county where the district attorney resides a sworn affidavit charging the district attorney with one or more grounds for removal. The clerk shall immediately bring the matter to the attention of the senior regular resident superior court judge for the district or set of districts as defined in G.S. 7A‑41.1(a) in which the county is located who shall within 30 days either review and act on the charges or refer them for review and action within 30 days to another superior court judge residing in or regularly holding the courts of that district or set of districts.
If the superior court judge upon review finds that the charges if true constitute grounds for suspension, and finds probable cause for believing that the charges are true, he may enter an order suspending the district attorney from performing the duties of his office until a final determination of the charges on the merits.
During the suspension the salary of the district attorney continues. If the superior court judge finds that the charges if true do not constitute grounds for suspension or finds that no probable cause exists for believing that the charges are true, he shall dismiss the proceeding. etcetera
