Usurper in chief?
The New York Times ^ | 12/14/2010 | Maureen Dowd

Posted on 12/14/2010 9:12:31 PM PST by circumbendibus

He can’t handle the truth.

At least not while he’s facing the brig.

Lt. Col. Terry Lakin of the Army had a motley crew of frustrated Birthers at his court-martial here on Tuesday. The decorated Pentagon doctor from Colorado became the movement’s hero when he went on YouTube in March to brazenly urge President Obama to show “honesty and integrity” by releasing his “original signed birth certificate, if you have one.” He vowed to disobey what he called “illegal orders” to deploy to Afghanistan because he did not regard Obama as a legitimate commander in chief.

Here's Dowd's take on Lakin. Glad to see this even mentioned in NYT and Stars and Stripes. Level of awareness about Obama's lack on bonafides must be rising.

Nice and snarky, just as we’d expect from the Slimes.

Meanwhile, wikileaks is covered under the first amendment and soldiers who refuse to fight in this “illegal war” are heroes.

Welcome to Obamaland peasants: the law is what our overlords tell us it is.

Now pay your taxes and f**k off. :)

Good ole Mo, had to be there to observe the peasantry. Surprised she actually included some of the bolder comments from the supporters. Thank God folks went there to support him.

For Mo and the guys who go crazy here .. ;):

If the birth certificate had been in the wikileaks files, would the NYT have covered it?

Or would they only have covered it if it helped their side?

(It’s a rhetorical question)

Lt. Col. Terry Lakin is my hero. He is the bravest heart, god bless him. I hope one day he is proven correct and Obama is impeached.

It is telling that there is nothing in the Wikileaks about the B.C. Zero and Soros WANTED Wikileaks IMHO.

Dowd couldn't wait to pounce...but this is a trap...and she has plunged into it!

How many far-left NYT readers who have come to loath and regret Obama may be now tempted by the previously forbidden fruit of “birtherism”?

At first, they may find themselves secretly fantasizing about Obama's long form and then, perhaps after a few hits of something with their buddies they will find they have company and the ball starts rolling downhill!

Even Mo Dowd's snarky wit won't prevent the smarter ones from demanding "Why won't Obama release his original vital records, and why is the DOJ spending public $$ to protect them while LTC Lakin goes to jail?"

Very interesting. Dowd, while mouthing the usual liberal line, seems to give the birthers more credit than many conservative commentators do--and ends her piece with a appeal to raw power:

But, in the end, the court-martial offers one big truth: President Obama doesn’t have to show Terry Lakin anything. The colonel should have followed orders.

It makes me wonder that perhaps in the back of her mind, the birthers have gotten through, even if she really doesn't know it yet...

You have made a good point.
