As pissant posted on the other story about this: Keyes v Obama Update 10/5/09 Defense Motion to Dismiss to be heard. Carter indicted only a very strong compelling reason would move him to dismiss at this point. He will review the defenses 9/4/09 MTD. He wants to hear the case on its merits. Discovery to be ordered 10/5/09 if MTD is thrown out. 1/11/10 Pre Trial Set - procedural for other motions, depositions, scheduling, etc 1/26/10 Trial Date Set - Earliest available date for Justice Carter. So yes, discovery in less than a month is very, very good. Perhaps that's why when reading from the teleprompter, Obama said in the speech to schoolkids today: My mother couldn't afford to send me to the school where all the AMERICAN kids went. |
Did he really say that??????
Once an Indonesian, always an Indonesian? If he thought of himself as an AMERICAN, he would have said:
WHERE ALL THE OTHER AMERICAN KIDS WENT.
Thanks for update BP2. :-)
"Nor did Carter rule immediately on a motion to dismiss the case, submitted by the U.S. government, following discussion over Taitz' challenge to the work of a magistrate in the case.
The judge did comment that if there are legitimate constitutional questions regarding Obama's eligibility, they need to be addressed and resolved.
Carter ordered a hearing Oct. 5 on the motion to dismiss and ordered arguments submitted on the issue of discovery.
If the case survives that challenge, a pretrial hearing has been scheduled for Jan. 11 and the trial for two weeks later.
The case would be the first time, according to Kreep, that the actual merits of the dispute will have been heard in open court. A multitude of such disputes have been rejected out of hand by various state and federal courts. Even the U.S. Supreme Court repeatedly has rejected urgent appeals to hear the evidence."
Bump Dat...
That's incredible. I'll have to look that up.
That is what the written text of the speech states, but it proves nothing. There is nothing wrong with the sentence as written, IMO.
Here is the text from the white house website:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/MediaResources/PreparedSchoolRemarks/
If a person was talking off the cuff, he may well use “other” and say, “where all the OTHER American kids went to school.” In a formally-structured, written speech such as this one, it seems not only to be superior grammar without “other, but it sounds better as well. Using the word “other” in that sentence in a written speech sounds much too casual.
There is a school. The Americans kids went to the school. Obama didn’t go to the school. Obama didn’t go to the school where the American kids went. You see how it “works”, has proper grammer and reads and speaks correctly? Adding “other” would be superfluous.
I think people are trying to make a mountain out of a molehill here. I know Obama is a radical communist Muslim and I have my doubts about his citizenship, but he did not make a slip in the sentence of that speech.
Now watch. Somebody will call me a troll...
