How Can America “Thrive” with a Liar and Fraudster in the Office of the Presidency?

CBS News allowed the following comment to be published on its website, following an article about Obama’s visit to Arizona yesterday:

... Who were the doctor(s) and nurse(s) at Kapi`Olani that delivered Barack? My ex-wife worked at the hospital and I understand the records at Kapi’Olani are impeccable. Where are the foot prints? What public records exist that can even demonstrate that Mrs. Obama was even at Kapi’Olani on the day of Barack’s birth? Talk at Kapi`Olani, would have been unabashed, the city of Honolulu at the time very racist towards black people.

But those of us not doctors do expect that you might remember the hospitals you worked in and something about the dates you worked there. Some doctor who worked at whatever hospital Barry says he was born at back in 1961 might not have immediately remembered the name Obama, or a black kid, or a mother named Stanley, but he might have at least wondered if he was there, and done something to find out.

Thank you. Exactly. I've worked in 4 hospital laboratories over the course of the last 32 years and have never really had much contact with actual patients, only their blood. I certainly don't remember the names of patients in the past that I have tested except for a memorable few. But you can bet if I was working in the lab of that hospital at the time Obama was born I would remember I was there and wonder whether I had performed some kind of testing on mother or baby.

[Shethink13]

Curious, sure. But without access to the records, no way to satisfy the curiosity. And a whopping big fine if someone does remember and publicly says so.

Well, at least you admit you'd be curious. It seems JimNoble wouldn't be interested in the least and I find that odd. That's my only point.

Just had a long discussion with my son about the state of America, and about the DC media cabal’s effect on Congress-critters who were elected because they were decent and seemed to understand what needs to be done. We send good people to DC and once they get in the culture where they try to get in good with the liars in the media, it rots them from the outside in.

That’s why we can’t fix DC without also addressing the lawlessness and corruption in the media, law enforcement, and courts. That’s why my goal is not necessarily to get rid of Obama, but to create a system of real accountability where even if we got a crook like Obama in office, he would be powerless to tear this nation apart.

It’s sort of like the terrorist thing. When a terrorist succeeds you use that experience to learn how to make that never be able to happen again, because there will ALWAYS be another terrorist trying to get on the airplane, and there will always be terrorists who actually make it onto the airplane. The point is to have the system be able to correct itself so that the terrorist can never be successful.

Obama is basically the equivalent of a terrorist who made it into the White House. Not only do we need to get him out of there before he blows up this whole nation, we need to figure out how he was able to get there, and change our system so we can identify and prevent somebody like him from ever again getting access to blow up the country. And we need to figure out how to keep him or anybody else like him from being able to blow up the country even if he gets in the plane/WH.

This is Homeland Security 101. We have no functioning DHS right now because when an impostor gets into the White House he gets to stack the deck against America, against accountability, against the Constitution.

We need to educate Congress on how critical their role of approving appointees is. That cannot ever afford to be pooh-poohed. We CANNOT AFFORD to have anti-Americans in regulatory or law enforcement positions. It is too critical to our entire system to allow hacks to take over those roles.

And - getting back to your post - we have to neuter the crooked media. There is a class of people who believe everything CNN tells them. They don’t hear anything but that and it suits them fine because they like the status quo. I told my son that our job is to convince our neighbors, as winsomely as possible, that they need to know the truth before it’s too late. This eligibility issue, when it finally breaks open, will reveal to everyone just how crooked the media powers-that-be really are, and how dangerous it is.

Somebody mentioned the Saudis owning all our media. I don’t know if that’s accurate or not, but if it is that tells us all we really need to know. If we allow that to happen, this nation is suicidal.

And that’s why I’m gonna put in a plug here for everybody to pitch in for Free Republic. I finally talked to my husband about pitching in here, and he was OK with $10/month. It’s not much, but it’s what we can do. I just put it to pay on PayPal and now I feel tons better and we’ll just eat PBJ sandwiches instead of meat for a couple meals each month. Maybe I’ll call it Freeper PBJ Night or something.

We need a voice that is independent of the Saudis and Soros. Period. If we give that up, the nation is history.

[Hotlanta Mike]

When McCain chose Sarah Palin as his running-mate the race came back to neck-and-neck. It was that way for about a week before Soros decided he had to do something to give the election to Obama. That’s when the run on the bank happened.

Soros has quite a history of bringing down economies as we all have learned. Remember this goody? Time to audit the Fed???

Kucinich to Neel Kashkari...Who are you working for?

Well, there have been two plus years of waiting. Seems like the time for waiting is over, and the time of investigations, hearings and subpoenas is now upon us.

As difficult as it has been for any true American to tolerate the current administration, I shutter to think what would happen if we didn’t have

1. God
2. Free Republic

[butterdezillion]

Have you read some of the Hawaii names? I’m not the right person to ask, but I think my initial response to Barack Hussein Obama would be, “Thank God! A name I can pronounce!” lol

Or maybe they are like me when I read arab names. “Another Hussein somebody-or-other.” Like how the readers at church stumble over the names and places in the Old Testament when they read. A friend of mine just says “That Place” when she gets to a place she doesn’t know how to pronounce, or “That Guy” for a name. lol. I know it’s not the way it’s supposed to be but that’s how the human mind operates sometimes.

Somebody told me that people don’t really look to see what time it is. They look to see how much time they have before a deadline. And I’ve found that’s how I operate. I’ll look at the clock and I’ll say, “I have fifteen minutes to get this done”. Half a second later somebody will ask me what time it is and I usually don’t know. It’s a different way of processing information.

I don’t know. Different people are different. Maybe there are doctors who would notice it greatly and others who wouldn’t. I’ve gone back and looked at letters I wrote when I was younger and didn’t mail, and there’s stuff in there that really caught my eye then but it never made it into my long-term memory. Really struck me as something, but time faded even that.

So I’m not gonna say anybody is crazy if they think a doctor would remember, and I’m not going to say anybody is crazy if they think the doctor wouldn’t. I doubt that I would remember something like that. That’s about all I can say. (After a long post’s worth of saying more than that. lol. Sorry)

[butterdezillion]

Wait and see? Oh sheesh. We are so screwed.

[butterdezillion]

When was HIPAA passed anyway?

[butterdezillion]

Aagh. I really wish I could see video on my computer. (sigh) Can you give me a summary of what’s on there?

[butterdezillion]

I don’t even want to imagine that scenario. It’s what Obama would really like to see happen though.

I was thinking about Terry Lakin. How much was this country worth to him? It was worth $800,000 of his personal money, 6 months in prison, and he and his family’s livelihood.

Wow. I stand in awe and shame.

It’s easy for me to say that my contribution is my time; let somebody else give their treasure and their sacred honor. But it doesn’t work that way. In the crisis we’re in right now, where the very existence of America as we know it is on the line, we either spend our time, treasure, and sacred honor now to save America, or America is gonng die while we still have money in the account but no America left in which to spend it.

If we lose the ability of conservatives to band together to effect change, this country will be lost. And we know that’s what Obama is trying to accomplish right now. To really undo the damage of the last 2 years we need the next election to be just like the last one. That can’t happen if places like Free Republic shut down. It’s now or never.

[Brown Deer]

I don’t recall the names of any of the patients I delivered, either.

In 1900, the population of Hawaii was 154,000 with only 233 (0.15%) black residents. By 1950, it's population had increased to almost a half million and over two thousand (0.5%) black residents. The 1960 census does not show a breakdown for black people, but in 1970, Hawaii's population was about 770 thousand with 7517 (1.5%) blacks. Extrapolating from that, you can estimate that in 1960, Hawaii's population was about one percent black.

The birth rate in the United States in 1960 was 23.7 per 1000 people. Given Hawaii's population of 632,772 that year would mean that about 15,000 were being born each year in Hawaii at the time of 0bama's birth. Out of those 15,000 births only about 150 were black children. Given that only 0.126% of married couples in the U.S. in 1960 were interracially mixed black and white, the odds that any of those 150 black children born were of such a marriage is only about one in every six years!

I find it hard to believe that any doctor with a brain that made it through medical school, could possibly forget such an event.

[azishot]

LOL! You do have a way with words. Thinking back, you’re right. The lack of education records that you have asked about is *curious*. Maybe they’re being worked on and aren’t perfected yet. Kind of like the BC.

Please ping me IF you get an answer.

Aagh. I really wish I could see video on my computer. (sigh) Can you give me a summary of what’s on there?

...................

This was a hearing on November 14, 2008 to investigate the Treasury Department’s Use of Government Assistance Funds in which the classic quote from Dennis Kucinich was uttered:

‘Nobody doubts, Mr. Kashkari, that you are working hard. “Our question is who are you working for.’

This was the looting of $700 billion dollars of the American people’s money which was voted on by Congress for the sole purpose of removing toxic assets from the market in order to free up credit markets, instead they started bailing out banks (bait and switch) and other industries (car makers). And of course they determined the winners and losers (can you say crony capitalism?).

[little jeremiah]

Those wiling to sacrifice time, money, honor or their very lives are heroes and heroines and we need more ordinary people, what to speak of public figures, to stand up. Each can only do what they voluntarily decide they can do; but everyone can do something.

Even if it’s just writing letters and hitting the keyboard; something. You and others have done phenomenal research, and that’s very, very important work.

[Jim Noble]

It seems JimNoble wouldn't be interested in the least and I find that odd

It's not that I wouldn't find it interesting that the POTUS was born in my hospital when I was catching babies there - I would.

But since then (1975) I have seen 10 000+ patients. If I had been practicing in 1961, that number would be 20-25 000.

I know that on television, the doctors always remember everybody. In real life, we don't.

Yes, I delivered white trash mamas with mixed-race babies - lots of 'em. Could I tell you any of their names, 35 years and 10 000+ patients later? No chance.

Now, suppose I were "interested in the least" and I wanted to find out IF I was involved in the delivery of a specific infant 35 - OK, fifty - years ago. But I can't look at the BC to see if I signed it.

How would you imagine I could go about that? I can't walk into the hospital and ask to see the records - all records before 1986 have been destroyed (in NY, I don't know about Hawaii). Even if there were a record, I have no right to see it without a release unless I happen to still be practicing on the active staff AND have a patient-care-related need for access.

There is no practical way for me to satisfy any curiosity I might have, and, that being so, it would be an enormous waste of time, a commodity which I still don't have enough of, 35 years into the doctor gig.

You claim I haven't the slightest interest in the names and current whereabouts of babies I delivered in 1975. I'm telling you that, even if I did, it would make no difference.

We were having at all things THRIVE on the Beck TV thread today. Think of the word ‘thrive’ as an action, like eat, write, walk. Similar to a ‘rave.’ The meaning, I believe, is not intransitive, and so it is actually a new ‘word’:

The “THRIVE” meme is 0bama’s agenda:

Thrive Research, Inc, has a whale of a muckety. Two clicks and it’s AGW all over again:

And now I think he is even more awesome because he has started an amazing non-profit called The Thrive Project. I asked him to write a blog about it so I could post it here and hopefully get people excited about this new venture.

HIPAA was passed in 1993, but the privacy rule didn’t take effect until 2003.
