Barack Obama has been officially certified as the next president of the United States. Though Obama has gone by the title of president-elect since his Nov. 4 victory, the House and Senate performed the formality of tallying the Electoral College votes in a joint session on Thursday. Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden received 365 votes, and Republican nominee John McCain, along with running mate Sarah Palin, received 173 votes. A ticket needs 270 electoral votes to win. Though the certification is a centuries-old ritual with a typically known outcome, this was the first non-contested Electoral College certification since 1996. Individual electors are not bound to vote in line with their states, but no electors deviated from the November returns on Thursday. In the 2000 presidential election, numerous House members strenuously objected to the slate of electors from Florida, where a recount was cut short by the Supreme Court. But Vice President Al Gore, who lost to President Bush and then presided over the counting of the disputed results, rejected the objections because the House members weren't joined by a Senate sponsor. Four years ago, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., joined the late-Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, D-Ohio, in objecting to Ohio's slate of electors. After a debate, the House and Senate awarded Ohio's 2004 electoral votes to President Bush.

Can we get any lower as a country?
Did anyone object? I read some congressman was going to.
The PC Age ripens
Heaven help us.
Because it was the first Democrat victory since 1996. These things go hand in hand. The Democrats do not believe in a peaceful transfer of power. Democracy means nothing to them, just power they are due by something akin to divine right.
I.
TOLD.
YOU.
SO.
Everything is good. Don't worry. /sarc
It’s kind of disgusting, really, how the democrats clamor endlessly about the “partisan tone” of Republicans, but the truth is the exact opposite.
Pretty much par for the course for anything the democrats say, but the media never calls them on it.
Sigh.
No, you read that some Georgia congressman was ‘keeping the option open’ ... those were his weasel words.
Everything is under control.
Don’t worry about it. There was little doubt they would do this but the fight goes on and will go national the first time a foreign nation decides to use it against us.
Not exactly, they are just accepting the documented evidence of Constitutional qualification as presented. That evidence has not won any challenges to its legitimacy so there isn't much legal standing for congress to move.
Apparently not:
"Though the certification is a centuries-old ritual with a typically known outcome, this was the first non-contested Electoral College certification since 1996."
Some good news regarding the issue of
Barry Obama's Birth Certificate.
This issue isn't dead .... by any means.
Take care.

If it weren't for the United States military, there'd be NO United States of America.

Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts agreed to hear my case
Wednesday, January 7, 2009
Press Release from Dr. Orly Taitz, ESQ01.07.09.
Good news,
Chief Justice John Roberts agreed to hear my case Lightfoot v Bowen, challenging eligibility for presidency of Barack Hussein Obama. He distributed the case to the full conference of the Supreme Court. The timing of this decision by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts, is absolutely remarkable.
On January 7, one day before the January 8 vote by Congress and Senate, whether to approve or object to the electoral vote of Barack Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, as president of the United States, Chief Justice Roberts is sending a message to them: "Hold on, not so fast, there is value in this case, read it. Hawaiian statue 338 allows Foreign Born children of Hawaiian Residents to obtain Hawaiian Birth Certificates, it allows one to get Hawaiian Certification of Life birth based on a statement of one relative only, without any corroborating evidence. You need to investigate, you need corroborating evidence. If only one Congressman or one Senator presents a written objection, then there has to be a formal investigation by the joint session of Congress and Senate.
During this investigation original birth certificate from Hawaii will be subpoenaed. All other pertinent documents will be subpoenaed: Obama's immigration records, any and all passports from Indonesia, Kenya and Great Britain; University enrollment records, showing if he was enrolled in US schools and universities and received financial aid as a foreign exchange student from Indonesia or Kenya.
All of it can be subpoenaed and obtained within a day or two. Each and every member of US Congress and Senate owes it to 320 million American citizens to do his due diligence and demand all necessary records. When American servicemen are told to risk their lives defending Constitution of this country against all enemies, foreign and domestic, each and every Congressman and each and every Senator can spend a day or two of their time defending this Constitution, reviewing necessary documents, in order to see if Barack Hussein Obama is a Natural Born Citizen, if he is a citizen at all."
This is the message that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is sending to them, and if they are not listening, there has to be a massive petition drive to recall them. Truth will come out, no matter how many millions Obama is spending to hide it.

At one time I was convinced that votes didn’t count. The elections were to simply make us think we had a say. I thought there was a group of people who controlled everything. For intance, Perot was part of the group so they used his campaign to explain to us idiots how Clinton could win.
Then the Forida recount was a ruse to explain how W could win.
Then McCain tries his best to lose and pulls it off. How did he get the nomination to begin with?
Bottom line: I’m looking at the dummy who was just “elected” and I’m almost convinced again there’s a shadow government calling the shots. Thus we have the “new world order” the first Bush wanted so badly.
And just the fact that him and Clinton are such good buddies makes me wonder about the whole thing.
Evidently, it is no individuals, no states or no organizations responsibility to see that Constitutional requirements are met.
Wonderful place we live in.
Rules! We don’t need no stinkin rules!
Seems that way anyhow.
Now it’s the SCOTUS’s job to deal with this issue.
