“He misspoke, and this is not the Bill Richardson I knew.” - Obama

FREEPERS,
If you care about our Constitution you will listen to the video at the link below. It is a 90 minute video and the only video you will see of this conference where the Constitutional qualification issue was discussed. It is important to listen to the ENTIRE video, even if you feel like quitting before it is finished. It is important to hear the questions from the Media following the speakers.

I hope you will listen and if you think this issue is important that you will send the link to others. I trust you believe our Constitution should be upheld no matter WHO is President.

Be sure to listen to the Joe Thunder program on Plains Radio this evening 12/11 at 9:00PM Eastern and visit his web site at FreedomMarch.org. You will find more information about the cases pending at the web site. Joe is a Freeper too!

Thank you! God Bless, and God Bless America!

This is not helpful, my life. This is a time for unity. Now stop this insanity!!!

LOL

[RatsDawg]

thanks!

You should send your clip of Richardson to Chief Justice Roberts and Justices, Scalia, Thomas and Alito so that they will stop the Electoral College from meeting next week.

If that does not work, you can send it to Dick Cheney who will count the EC votes in January.

I’m sure he just “misspoke”. Next.

We need as much unity as is possible to move forward but not at the expense of the Constitution. If the Constitution loses its authority, America will surely die a slow death along with civilization based on human rights. A black president, given the changing demographics is inevitable under our Constitutional system but the survival of that system has never been inevitable.

"Let me also say that I remain distressed that the White House during this confirmation process, which overall went smoothly, failed to provide critical documents as part of the record that could have provided us with a better basis to make our judgment with respect to the nomination. This White House continues to stymie efforts on the part of the Senate to do its job. I hope with the next nominee who comes up for the Supreme Court that the White House recognizes that in fact it is its duty not just to the Senate but to the American people to make sure we can thoroughly and adequately evaluate the record of every single nominee who comes before us."

Well how about it Zero?

[Carley]

Maybe Richardson doesn’t realize that Hawaii is one of the 57 states and not it’s own country.

[atc23]

Yeah, but . . . "the US Constitution in fundamentally flawed" . . . .

[malia]

“That’s right – former presidential candidate —”

Bill Richardson said that as a ..... candidate .....!!

and that is how it will be the —— response -——explained -— viewed — lied about-—

[Texan Tory]

So what if Richardson said that. How would he know? Would Obama be stupid enough to share inside information with Richardson of all people? Don’t get your hopes up that anything will come of this. By the way, I’m not at all impressed by Richardson, how is he considered to be even remotely qualified to serve in Obama’s cabinet? In saying this, I’m measuring his competence relative to other democrats, where the standards are typically pretty low to begin with.

This is sort of what Richardson was aiming at:

"Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists." — Franklin D. Roosevelt to the Daughters of the American Revolution

He meant to say, "Barack Obama is from an immgrant family" which is kind of half true. Or better still "President to be Obama was an anchor baby" which also has some truth in it.

But the idea that Richardson would be in on some deep, dark Obaman secret doesn't hold much water. He's the administration's comic relief, its Lou Costello or Buddy Hackett, the Hurley to Obama's Sayyid.

One moe person saying it.

But the idea that Richardson would be in on some deep, dark Obaman secret doesn't hold much water.

So who says that?

[Conscience of a Conservative]

Or better still "President to be Obama was an anchor baby" which also has some truth in it."

Let's not go overboard here. The term "anchor baby," as I understand it, refers to the children of illegal aliens, born in the United States, and citizens as a result of the currently prevailing (mis-)interpretation of the 14th Amendment. Since, by all accounts, Obama's mother was a U.S. Citizen, it is not accurate to call Obama an anchor baby. There is simply no "truth in it."

[x]

I don't know the exact policy, but if Barack and his mother lived in the US, his father probably could have as well, and this would have opened the way for his father's relatives to move here as well.

An "anchor baby" isn't just the child of illegal aliens. People here legally on visas have also tried to have children here in hope that they could stay or bring over relatives. I don't exactly know if it works out for them, but there are similarities to Obama's case.

But I can see that, yes, if his parents had remained married, his father could have stayed here anyway, so an "anchor baby" wasn't needed. Given that his parents did not remain together, I don't know what the applicable immigration law would have been.
