Don't Waste Time on the "Birther" Distraction; Impeach Obama for Illegal Internet Gambling
IsraPundit ^ | 4/25/10 | Bill Levinson

Posted on 04/25/2010 12:59:04 PM PDT by Winged Hussar

Illegal Internet gambling in violation of U.S. Code Title 31, 5362 is a "high crime or misdemeanor"

The "birther" issue is a senseless and unwinnable battle that squanders time and resources, a fraction of which could easily result in Obama's removal from office for very real, proven, and documented reasons as shown below. In other words, it would make excellent sense for Barack Obama and his followers to start this rumor themselves to divert attention and efforts from very real and easily exploitable vulnerabilities. As stated by Sun Tzu's Art of War, the best way to win is to defend a position that the enemy cannot attack successfully, as opposed to allowing the enemy to attack what you cannot possibly defend. In Obama's case, this is his personal orchestration of what looks a lot like illegal Internet gambling in violation of U.S. Code Title 31, 5362.

...It is past time for those who see Barack Obama's Presidency as a menace to the well-being of the United States to stop allowing him to dictate what we are going to talk about through disinformation campaigns and agents provacateur. The "birther" issue has not only allowed Obama to make his opponents look like kooks, it has now jeopardized the career and retirement benefits of an Army officer who acted on it by refusing "illegal" orders to deploy to Afghanistan. In other words, real people are getting hurt by disinformation that may easily have originated in the Obama camp itself.

The article includes E-mails with full headers in which Barack Obama solicits for what is almost certainly an illegal lottery, and admits that the lottery may in fact have been rigged.

Note that an E-mail with full headers is almost certainly usable as legal evidence. Minnesota law enforcement is on record as saying that these solicitations violated state law, which would put them in violation of the U.S. Code.

For future reference, it would have been much more helpful to freepers if you had posted the parts of the article that documented the e-mails and what charges could be filed, rather than waste your excerpt with what we SHOULDN’T be doing.

I don’t care who it takes, be it birthers or anti-illegal internet gamblers, just as long as he is stopped from destroying this country. That said, I suspect both groups can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Barack Obama has recorded a brief message for you -- check it out here: https://donate.barackobama.com/dinnerforfive There's still one day left to be a part of Barack's Dinner for Five, and already this effort is proving exactly what kind movement we're building together. At a time when money from Washington lobbyists and special interests is polluting the political process more than ever, the question for campaigns isn't just whether they can compete financially -- it's how they do it. Thousands of people have given whatever they could afford -- even $5 -- to be part of something big. If you make a donation in any amount by 11:59 pm EDT tomorrow, June 13, you could be one of four people chosen to dine with Barack. In about a month, you could sit down and share your reasons for joining this campaign and your ideas for how to keep the momentum building. When you make that donation, you will become part of a movement of Americans ready to take back the political process and make our democracy work for the people again. Join the movement and make your donation now: https://donate.barackobama.com/dinnerforfive Who knows, you could find yourself representing that movement one night soon -- sitting across the table from Barack Obama. Thank you, David David Plouffe Campaign Manager Obama for America ---- Paid for by Obama for America This email was sent to: [my home E-mail address]
In addition, Barack Obama himself signed his name to a lottery solicitation while admitting openly that not all entrants had an equal chance to win. In Nevada, where many forms of gambling are legal subject to regulation by the state, cheating is a Class B felony. We cannot give legal advice as to whether the Obama campaign's pre-selection of a winner before the lottery's entry deadline qualifies, but perhaps Nevada's Attorney General should look into it.

Christina, Haile, Margaret, and Michael each made a small online donation, and we flew them across the country for some good food and good conversation. What I enjoyed most about this dinner was the opportunity to listen to the stories and concerns of ordinary Americans in a relaxed environment. Out on the campaign trail, there isn't always time for that kind of interaction. Last week we started planning our second dinner, and on Friday evening at 6:42 pm, a woman named Dorothy Unruh of Lakewood, Colorado made a donation. I'm pleased to announce that Dorothy will be one of my guests for the second dinner. You could join us if you make a small donation before 11:59 pm tonight, July 31st: https://donate.barackobama.com/dinner Here's what Dorothy told us about herself: "I'm a senior citizen fed up with the current state of our government. I'm sad that our great nation has lost its stature in the eyes of the rest of the world. I have been a registered Republican for years, but recently officially changed parties so I can attend the Democratic caucus and help elect Senator Obama. He is like a breath of fresh air to my husband and me." Dorothy has never taken part in a political campaign before, but she and millions of other voters who want change are going to be the key to Democratic victories up and down the ballot next year. I'm looking forward to having dinner with Dorothy, but there are still three seats left at the table. Will you be in one of them? If you make a donation by 11:59 pm tonight, Tuesday, July 31st, you could join us for dinner very soon: https://donate.barackobama.com/dinner We'll pay for your trip and the meal -- all you need to bring is your story and your ideas about how to make this a better country for all Americans. Small donations from ordinary Americans have set our campaign apart and allowed us to reject the influence of Washington lobbyists and special interest groups. Not only is your support the key to our success, it's essential to reclaiming a government that is of the people, by the people, and for the people. I hope you will make a donation now and participate in this opportunity. Take ownership of your part in this campaign and strengthen your role in our movement. Together we can put an end to pay-for-influence politics. We can turn the page in Washington, and it all begins with you. Thank you for your support.

I don’t think that impeachment of 0 is even a remote possibility with all the RATS and RINOs in charge of Congress.

All it takes is for one House member to raise this issue. The Ds cannot afford to associate themselves with a proven crime, if this is in fact a crime. Otherwise nobody will have respect for the law. Even the Ds recognize that we cannot have one U.S. Code for the President and another for everybody else.

Hixon had to resign because he knew similarly that his own party could not associate itself with Watergate by refusing to convict him.

In contrast, Bill Clinton got off because he was impeached on very flimsy grounds.

ERROR: Invalid username.

Can somebody on one Wordpress site block another Wordpress user? I am logged in as Butterdezillion, but this site says it’s an invalid username when I try to log in to comment there.

Does that mean that this Israpundit site specifically blocked access for me before I even tried to post anything?

You probably have to register at IsraPundit as an IsraPundit user. As far as I know, there is no general Wordpress user I.D. The fact that I am registered on one WordPress site does not mean I can comment on any WordPress site.

...if this is in fact a crime.
If you don't know whether or not a crime has been committed then why would you even bother posting this.
Convince yourself and then convince others.

It sure looks like one to me, and MN law enforcement said it was, but I am not a lawyer and I cannot give legal advice.

formatting is much better at the posted article

Sometimes it's better to cut and paste the HTML that makes up the article.

These emails are almost three years old. How come now?

I’m a lawyer, and I can tell you this is a much better case against the President than any of those “birther” arguments. We’ll see what happens, but I think this has legs.

Bill Clinton got off because the Senate Republicans were absolutely gutless. Of course, not much has changed...

The Ds only know that the end justifies the means.

Did you even see the link given at the site?
At least one law enforcement agency is on record as saying that these solicitations violated the laws of its state, which would seem to violate U.S. Code Title 31 5362 as well.
This is the article it links to...Obama camp's illegal lottery modified
Everything was made legal. They shouldn't have done it in the first place, but hey, it's the big "O"!

However, Nick Kimball, a spokesman for the Obama campaign in Minnesota, told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, "We are happy to have resolved this issue working closely with state officials. We look forward to continuing a substantive conversation with Minnesotans about Senator Obama's ideas."

The Jerry Lee Lewis...aka, The Killer!
Forsman confirmed Kendall Burman, staff counsel at Obama's Chicago headquarters, informed him the "donation," which had been a requirement earlier, would be made optional.
Ya can't use snippets!
