BLOG PIMPING?


One day soon we’ll look back on April 27, 2011 as an important day. Right now liberals think we’ll remember it as the day that Obama put the lie to the birthers, but they’re wrong. I think we’ll remember it as the day Obama’s presidency died.

Right now, Obama and the left, along with their lapdogs in the MSM, think they’ve outsmarted the birthers, and that they’ve engaged in a brilliant game of political brinksmanship. They’re thinking that the birthers have shown themselves to be the fruits and nuts of the right, and they made all this hubbub about what was, after all, nothing really. Just a document... like any other American birth certificate.

They’re wrong. For two reasons:

1. Picture a campaign commercial for the GOP candidate of your choice, showing a picture of Obama’s birth certificate, and then a picture of LTC Terry Lakin in his Class A’s, and then a picture of him in his prison uniform and handcuffs, an announcer mentioning that careers have been ruined, lives altered, and at least one man PUT IN MILITARY PRISON because of Obama’s whimsical refusal to release this document. “Obama - listening to billionaires, but ignoring honorable soldiers.”

2. Secondly, there are some legitimate questions about the authenticity of this newly released document. According to the White House it had been destroyed in a fire in Hawaii, and then Governor Abercrombie said his search for it in the public database came up empty... and now it pops up on Monday morning TV in an official press release from the White House. Where did it come from, and where was it when the White House said it had been destroyed? Also there seem to be layers inside the pdf document that others have noted. That would seem to indicate some chicanery on behalf of the White House. I’m no document expert, but I suspect that there will be more than one examining this image closely.

Either way, whether it’s valid or fake, I think the release of this document is the beginning of the discussion over Obama’s mysterious past, and not the end.

At least maybe now the MSM will finally stop the ignorant insistence that the COLB is the birth certificate.

Lakin is in jail because he refused deployment on a bet that Obama’s BC was not legit. I don’t think there’s going to be much sympathy for him from either side.

Too bad the average American has no clue who Lakin is. His court martial was a non-event - especially to those that would vote for Obama. The people that care about this weren’t going to vote for him in the first place.

Maybe if we are lucky, Obama will not seek re-election.

Obama is not a natural born citizen. Natural born requires parents BORN IN THE U.S. and the child being born in the U.S. Hussein’s father is Kenyan.

A third reason: The President perpetuated the hysteria and the distraction, thus showing a lack of leadership, by not releasing the birth certificate in 2008.

Pray for America

Was Obama lying then, or is he lying now?

Then he said the short form COLB was the ONLY proof there was. Even the state of Hawaii engaged in that lie.

Now, he saying this lousy excuse for a layered-up photoshop is proof.

Wonder what sort of BS lies he will come up with when Dr. Corsi’s book comes out?

This episode helped obama and destroyed what little chance trump had. One of the more clumsy political skirimshes I have ever seen. Kind of like the Gerald ford debate moment when you see a candidate that is so sure of himself make a fatal blunder. Or when a lawyer asks a witness a question without knowing the answer and the witness answers and make the lawyer look foolish.

But trump was / is entertaining.

“According to the White House it had been destroyed in a fire in Hawaii, and then Governor Abercrombie said his search for it in the public database came up empty... and now it pops up on Monday morning TV in an official press release from the White House. Where did it come from, and where was it when the White House said it had been destroyed?”

After claiming his birth certificate was already released and he couldn’t walk around with it plastered on his forehead, he now releases this? He spent $2M fighting the release of this? Why?

I’m also disgusted he calls Americans’ concerns “silly.” What an inconsiderate arrogant man.

Anyway, this is a first step. There are other questions to answer now, like why does he have multiple social security numbers, what happened to his US citizenship when he became an Indonesian citizen, how he became a foreign student while attending college in the USA and how he traveled to countries like Pakistan. Today’s release only makes the other questions more pressing.

Wishful thinking.

1. Picture a campaign commercial for the GOP candidate of your choice, showing a picture of Obama's birth certificate, and then a picture of LTC Terry Lakin in his Class A's, and then a picture of him in his prison uniform and handcuffs, an announcer mentioning that careers have been ruined, lives altered, and at least one man PUT IN MILITARY PRISON because of Obama's whimsical refusal to release this document. "Obama - listening to billionaires, but ignoring honorable soldiers."

Watch how the late night comedians handle the birth certificate issue. At every occasion they turn it into a joke, to the point where swing voters aren't going to take it seriously. Such an ad would just fly past people. Lakin is going to be released next month. I can certainly feel sympathy for him, but given what military discipline demands, did he really expect that his case would end up differently?

According to media reports, Hawaii officials claimed it had been destroyed in a fire (edited) in Hawaii, and then Governor Abercrombie said his search for it in the public database came up empty... and now it pops up on Monday morning TV in an official press release from the White House. Where did it come from, and where was it when the White House said it had been destroyed?

The problem here is that it's hard to separate out what we know to be true from what's just rumor. Certainly the mainstream media isn't going to do that, so things like this just remain part of the sea or stew of rumors, rather than proven facts for most people. Some day somebody may authoritatively sort out who said what and when, but not in time for the next election.
