Obama to Chair UN Security Council
Role could have prez crossing paths with Gaddafi Updated 6:45 AM CDT, Wed, Sep 9, 2009
Barack Obama is set to become the first-ever U.S. president to chair the United Nations' 15-member Security Council when it meets later this month.
The council, which next meets Sept. 24, deals with a host of global challenges, including nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear disarmament. The Obama administration hopes to use the month-long appointment to emphasise a departure from the Bush administration's strategy of pursuing its own unilateral policies through the council.
Obama will join other heads of government in New York during the week of the nuclear summit for the opening of the 64th session of the UN General Assembly. Climate change and the Middle East peace process will be on the agenda for the wider body. Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, under fire for wining the freedom of a terrorist convicted of killing 270 in the Lockerbie bombing, is due to be on hand and could turn the session into a spectacle.
The State Department has not ruled out the possibility that Obama and Gaddafi would cross paths. They are both due to address the General Assembly on the same day, and the Libyan leader, whose country is a temporary member of the Security Council, is entitled to attend the nuclear summit session that Mr Obama will chair.
Interestingly, Richardson might have had a “natural born citizen” issue, too, had he succeeded in his quest for the presidency:
Bill Richardson was born in Pasadena, California.[5][6] His father, William Blaine Richardson Jr. (died in 1972), was an American Citibank executive[5][6] who grew up in Boston, Massachusetts[5] and lived and worked in Mexico City.[6] His mother, María Luisa López-Collada Márquez[6] is the Mexican daughter of a Spanish father from Villaviciosa, Asturias, Spain and a Mexican mother[7][5][8][9] and was his father’s secretary[6].[8] Richardson’s father was born in Nicaragua.[6] Just before Richardson was born, his father sent his mother to California to give birth because, as Richardson explained, “My father had a complex about not having been born in the United States.”[6] Richardson, a U.S. citizen by birthright, was raised during his childhood in Mexico City.[6][8] At age 13, Richardson’s parents sent him to Massachusetts to attend a preparatory school, Middlesex School in Concord, Massachusetts, where he played baseball as a pitcher.[6]

I used to think that too, but until the antichrist is indwelt by satan, he might not be much more than a mere mortal, as is anyone else. He will probably not need a teleprompter after satan possesses him. Before? Not so sure. The antichrist is not described as supernatural until the 2nd half of his reign. The first half, he's just a human being who seduces the masses with sugary words and ideas. JMO.
Maybe he’s “chairing” it as a Kenyan.
Yeah, I and my wife read them too.
Plus a goof up here or there can only help to humanize the guy, it wouldn’t do to be too good at what he’s doing.
Perhaps we are the enlightenned few—just really scary to me that conservatives and libertarians are not seeing the red flags here. Think what he can do to Israel?
In audio released this week, we heard Van Jones all but calling for the non-existence of Israel, and let’s face it, BO and the Missus are on the same page with VJ in everything, they just have been much more careful. My wife is a Messianic Jew and keeps up with all things Israel, so we shall see.
Missed the audio ov Jones, but not surprised. I am on the Middle East Terrorism ping list, which covers Israel and the area—will be interesting to watch this unfold, but I hope more get a clue!
Anymore news on this. Hate to have this important story get lost in the shuffle—I think it is huge—far more important than Pres. Speech!

I still think he decided to do this to upstage Sarah Palin’s speech in Hong Kong.
With the ACORN scandal, the Van Jones scandal, dems and other libs coming unhinged and calling anyone and everyone who disagrees with 0bama a racist, 0bama’s poll numbers dropping, I just don’t see how much good it will be for him to be seen strutting around the anti-American cesspool of the UN.
I’m betting his numbers will drop even further.
"I assume you refer to Clause 8 of Article 9?"
For those folks at home who are playing without their handy pocket Constitution, there is no Article 9. You both are referring to SECTION 9 in Article I.
