Did Republicans Secretly Blackmail Obama About Eligibility To Extend Tax Cuts?

Posted on 12/08/2010 6:45:53 PM PST by Retired Intelligence Officer

Did the republicans secretly threaten Obama they would raise the eligibility question with him in order to get the Bush tax cuts extended? The president automatically did a about face to his democratic constituents and to the voters who looked up to him to 'Stick It To The Rich' so he could 'Spread The Wealth' as he said he would do on the campaign trail. There is a reason more sinister I feel on why he did this that has the democratic elite in D.C. up in arms. I personally think that the republicans (since they take over the house Jan 4th) pulled him in that meeting and gave him a ultimatum. I believe that they told him that they would go after him and expose his natural born citizen eligibility problem to the American masses and make him step down if he didn't comply and extend the tax cuts. It is a scenario that makes sense and it is something to really think about.

It would be cool, if we had the spin to take over the puppet strings, but I doubt it.

He is trying to get re-elected, and he can't with a wrecked economy.

His only hope is to have conservative policies work enough to slightly improve the economy, get elected, then resume the destruction full throttle.

He is wicked.

The Repubs are complicit in Obama’s ineligibility. They knew all along, but there were questions about McCain’s birthplace, too, so they made a deal with the Devil. The Dems approved McCain, and Repubs ignored Obama’s vetting. Hillary thought she had the nomination sewed up. Repubs thought McCain could beat her. As a result, we all got screwed. Hillary lost her chance to be president. If they blow the whistle on Obama, they will have to admit their own guilt. That’s why many in the Tea Party think they should all be tossed out of Congress.

If they did they should have gotten a lot more for their troubles......

My thoughts exactly. They would be cheap dates considering what they gave away

Because if he blinks, then there is something he is hiding.
The Repubs can renegade on this gentleman's agreement later due to it being a non binding agreement/contract. Contracts are void when a action is not legal...not being eligible for POTUS.

Don’t count on Repubs doing any investigations. They are as guilty as Dems. See #22.

But, I doubt seriously this story is true.

That's all it is, a story.

“The source is my brain.”

If you know a good hacker, I bet he could find a State Department cable confirming this on the Wikileaks site.

I agree with you. I'm not buying this idea one iota. Obama is between a rock and a hard place right now and he is doing what he has to do for this time period. If you want to know exactly what is going on here, listen to Rush every morning and you will be enlightened on the whole scenario. A word from Rush is worth a thousand pictures.

I think they have something on him. There is no way in heck our intel community doesn’t know about Obama.

If anything, the pubs would let the rats hang him out to dry becuase at that point the media can no longer hide it.

The GOP isn't in charge yet so they have no authority over spending. But as of January 1 they will have the whole enchilada.

Why do you keep posting as though you think the Republicans are in charge? Did you work for the Obama Truth Squad or something?

If they were willing to play anything at all they could force the disclosure of the records via an investigation, and that would prove something, since the HDOH has already indirectly confirmed that they have no legally-valid birth certificate for Obama and the Factcheck COLB is a forgery.

We have to make them see that the country is in critical condition and this may be the resuscitation we need.

Doubt it. They would’ve done it before now. Unless they finally have some kind of proof. Problem is that they won’t do anything with it. And it’s a one-shot thing. If they don’t release it, they couldn’t blackmail him again, because they wouldn’t be able to go public later on without being accomplices in the matter. But what do I know? I just work for a living and pay taxes and vote for the other bozos...

If they did, they have him by the short hairs for the rest of his term!

Obama has already proved it for us. His parents are the reason he is not eligible. Place of birth does not matter.

Obama’s face turned red one two many times during the press conference. He was angry. Someone got something...but there are so many possibilities that the eligibility thing can be saved for last. Bohneur (?) is righteously indignant and he knows the troops are on the way. He’s playing for keeps, and he knows the tricks, because he’s been around. Obama has too many skeletons and his cover isn’t covering...

My money is on Bohneur—I have no idea how to spell his name—he’s out for redemption. I’m praying for his strength and resolve to not waver.

Your supposition makes no sense whatsoever.

I do hope you are enjoying your retirement.
