Suppose you're Bashir Assad or Putin, and you watch the Blago Blowup, a month before the next president even takes office.
What are you thinking right now?
First, Obama looks vulnerable to blackmail. His homey network is full of people who can't stand the light of day. They know all kinds of things the leftist media suppress -- people like Auchi (the Iraqi billionaire), Rezko (the corrupt Syrian multimillionaire), Emil Jones (the Godfather of Southside), and the whole Daley Machine.
That's not even counting the freaky radicals or the pols Obama has surrounded himself with. Mayor Daley's brother is one of the official transition leaders, for heavens' sake, along with Valerie Jarrett and a whole, privately paid operation that doesn't have to follow Federal rules on transparency, lobbying or accounting.
Leverage on the people around Obama is the first step. So you ask your handy secret agents in the US to beat the bushes for more blackmail material. Easy enough. Chicago is a Machine town, and there's always a rumor mill in a town full of neighborhood taverns.
Surely you aren’t talking the C-word!!!
Geeze - would that be possible?
On the surface it seems a Herculean task, but then there's a reason we were passed down those old “myths.”
OK... ya got me on “staple shooter” - what did I miss?
The rest I understood.
I’m still wondering if there will be a dog in the white house this goaround. And I’m guessin’ bacon won’t be on the breakfast menu either.
I don’t mean to mix dislikable topics on BO but it’s hard to seperate his marxism and hypocrisy from my urge to see something we might call a legitimate federal government.
The founding fathers and even later, H.L. Mencken had the unmitigated audacity to propose just that. Once the lazy grifter realize that they can vote themselves goodies from the public till, there is no end to the theft.
All you need to do is send people through the ghetto and get them to sign petitions against "Welfare Recipient Suffrage", or to "Stop Unemployed Suffrage!"
Oh, come on guys, that was all in his past, and now he’s a nice converted Christian socialist. sarcsarcsarcsarc
Yup....
sounds like a recruiting ad for ACORN.
Hmmmmm.
Wonder how they’re doin’ these days?
For all his faults, I will always be grateful to President Bush for bringing the Presidency back to where it should always have been, from a behavioral standpoint. He restored class, maturity and sobriety to the office.
Say what you will about his conservatism (which was lacking in many areas) but his ethics were strong.
I was so glad that, for the last eight years, I didn’t have to get up each day and wonder what flavor of corruption was tainting the office of the Presidency. I didn’t have to wonder who was preforming sexual acts on him under a desk, who he had groped, who he had sexually abused, who he had extorted money from or taken money from for political favors, and who around him was corrupt enough to harm our national security or political process for a handful of whore’s silver.
We didn’t have to consider ANY of those things for the classy First Lady either.
And the people GWB surrounded him with were largely clean of the stain of corruption and graft.
We may have disagreed with his policies, but we didn’t doubt for a second that they were there to do their jobs.
I know this for a fact because if there had been anything that the media and other liberals who suffered from BDS that they could have dug up, there is no doubt they would have, because they tried like hell.
This is more of the Clintons, only worse because they are from Chicago. Chicago is just as corrupt as Boston, only with a lot more experience and moxie.
Get used to this. Anyone who took the time to look before the election could have easily seen this, but the ignorant dummies simply did not care. They wanted someone to pay for their mortgages and gasoline.
shooting staples into telephone poles. Hanging the community organizing signs up. Has Obama ever shot a gun? answer is NO. He only shot staples.
Think about it. Every president had military expereience except Clinton. That means they all fired a weapon. Clinton could say “what is; is with a weapon”. Obama would say a staple gun. I crack myself up.
-Starting with his birth certificate.
I am awful glad I live in the South Pacific! Yep, you South Pacific folk may have to carry the torch after this thing settles out. The rest of us may be a larger version of the Vietnam boat people, so keep a light on for us.

Wilco. There will be piping hot coffee, samwiches and dry blankets waiting for you on the beach.
Ah yes - yet another mystery revealed.
Thanks....
Will use later.
He won’t allow it to be disclosed.
Think about it.
Could his birth certificate prove, for example, that he had a DWI?
Could his birth certificate prove he had been unfaithful to his wife?
Could it prove he had committed a felony, or been judged mentally incompetent, or some other incriminating fact?
Answer: Not at all
He was fresh as a new born babe then.
The ONLY thing it can show is if he is eligible. That’s it, folks. And for some reason, he does not want anyone to see it.
Blackmail? This is liable to make Arkanacide look like pre-school!
I tend to think you are right, however.
-and it's definitely black mail material.
> Blackmail? This is liable to make Arkanacide look like pre-school!
That particular ball could be live up until January 20, with the potential price rising right up until then, I speculate.
After inauguration it would be more than a blackmailer’s life is worth to keep that ball in play: blackmailing a sitting US President would be an excellent way to get very dead very fast. Therefore the information would likely be used in a different way after that.
And you’re right: Arkancide could look like a game of tiddly-winks compared with this.
The blackmail threat should be mentioned every time the birth certifigate scandal and any Blago ties are talked about. Even before he’s taken office, Obama is a bigger blackmail target than the Clintons ever were and, as usual, the MSM is totally blind to what is blindingly obvious.
Thanks Diehard, we may just take you up on that gracious offer. Stay strong and safe.
