Before the election, and all throughout his campaign, Barack Obama claimed that "secrecy dominated government actions in the Bush administration," and that Bush "ignored public disclosure rules by invoking the state secrets privilege more than any other previous administration to get cases thrown out of civil court."
Mr. Obama, no one, but you, knows more, and has done more, to abuse the legal system as a Presidential candidate and President-elect, to get cases regarding your Constitutional eligibility thrown out of court on technicalities, and not on their merits.
Where is the openness you promised?
Your Campaign website touted how you would not "sign any non-emergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to review and comment on the White House website for five days." Does that include any of your non-emergency Executive Orders, such as funding abortions in foreign countries, and closing Gitmo and other places to hold terrorists?
Mr. Obama, you promised on your website that you would "amend executive orders to ensure that communications about regulatory policymaking between persons outside government and all White House staff are disclosed to the public." To whom has the White House spoken on the outside regarding the EO's you signed this week?
What about the $875 billion "stimulus package," aka, massive political payoff? Will it always be tagged with the "emergency label" no matter how long it takes to pass?
Obama also said that he will "shed light on all earmarks by disclosing the name of the legislator who asked for each earmark, along with a written justification, 72 hours before they can be approved by the full Senate." So, when are we going to hear exactly to where this $875 billion is going?
Obama pledged on his shiny, new Change.gov websore...er, website, that he will "Open up government to its citizens, by using cutting-edge technologies to create a new level of transparency, accountability, and participation for America's citizens." OK. I just sent you an email asking you to reveal what you and the Supreme Court discussed in private. I also sent a letter to the NSA, FBI, and CIA to see what information they collected on you in order for you to get your security clearance.
While you're at it, Mr. President, since you continually cracked on Bush for making the "release of Presidential records more difficult," will you, in the spirit of your commitment to transparency, openness, fairness, and accountability, now provide all American citizens with the valid, concrete proof that you're a natural-born citizen and Constitutionally qualified to be the President?
That's not asking too much, is it?
Thanks for the ping!
Thanks...it is getting scary!

Communist Goals (1963)
Congressional Record—Appendix, pp. A34-A35
January 10, 1963
Current Communist Goals
EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 10, 1963
Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.
At Mrs. Nordman’s request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following “Current Communist Goals,” which she identifies as an excerpt from “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen:
[From “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen]
CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament of the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture—education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand.
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use united force to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.

Thanks for the ping to Polarik’s great article!
Hope all Freepers will check out the GLOBE which is THE ONLY media source that is at least asking questions of Barack Hussien Obama aka Barry Soetoro from Indonesia!
I’d say they did most of that so far, but this one especially;
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States
Democrats, consider yourself captured.
Yes, he did. Peanut "Jimmy" are bad words, ranks right up there with @#%&*, *&*^%, and *#%*#@!^%!
Just keep sending cases up to SCOTUS with military member plaintiffs. Eventually the military members are going to get sick of being told they have NO standing. They risk their lives to protect the Constitution by taking the oath.
If they have no standing then they are SERFS. Leo gets it as does Orly. I will take one Orly over 10 Obama lawfirms too. She will not give up.
Eventually the military will realize they are being played and eventually judges are going to start remembering their duty to defend the Constitution.
The public has ZERO confidence in the financial system which was destroyed more by Congress (fannie & freedie & CRA) than greedy business people.
Confidence in Washington will hit rock bottom soon especially with Barry “no white construction workers” Soetero. Pelosi & Reid’s Congress has a 10% or less approval rating?

Here’s an article posted earlier:
Obama Wants to Crush Rush
President Obama warned Republicans to stop listening to Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with his administration. “You can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done,” he said to Republican leaders attending a White House meeting to discuss his bloated $1 trillion economic stimulus package.

RE Second link:
Four years is about the amount of time she would have to pass the bar after graduation from college. As one of my friends pointed out: Affirmative Action will get a person in a college. It will help hire tutors to pass the class work. But, Affirmative Action will not pass the bar exam for you.
