White House insider warns of dire consequences from eligibility issue
January 27th, 2011 12:54 pm ET

Evidence is growing that the White House is so sensitive about stories in the media concerning the issue of Presidential eligibility that reporters have been warned of dire consequences if they merely ask questions about the subject.

A White House insider has reported that the subject is so highly sensitive that reporters must ‘tread softly’ and ‘be very careful’ if they dare delve into Obama’s background.
There is also information that suggests mainstream media sources now have all of the facts about the issue but intend to go on the offensive in protecting Obama at all costs. In the insider’s own words,

However, the bombshell evidence of the willingness of the Obama team to engage in threats and intimidation over the eligibility issue is encapsulated in a 2009 special report documenting outright media manipulation by the White House. According to the report,

...extremely sensitive investigative documents, including a stunning written admission by a nationally known talk show host stating that he was threatened with his career – or worse – should he talk about the issue of Barack Hussein Obama’s birth records to a national audience. This document was obtained on December 10, 2008, and provides explicit detail of a “gag order” imposed on this host before and immediately following the national election last November.

That, however, is only the tip of the iceberg. The report also contains this stunning admission by an administrative assistant within a major news network in New York:

From multiple interviews conducted within the last eight months, we have obtained information from other sources, independent of the above, who have also been instructed to avoid any discussion of the birth certificate issue at all costs, to wit:

The account of an administrative assistant employed in New York City by a cable network news station who provided significant, detailed information of a 2008 meeting between the top network executive and four-(4) well-known news anchors. This source confirmed that she drafted the memo to the various hosts to arrange notify them of the date, time and location of this high-level meeting at the request of the network’s top executive.

Present at this meeting, she verified that the network official issued “warnings” to the personalities “to avoid any on-air discussion of the birth place, eligibility, and news accounts of litigation compelling [Barack Hussein] Obama to produce a legitimate copy of his birth certificate.” She stated that the network executive had her arrange the conference immediately following a meeting “between [the network executive] and an attorney closely associated with candidate Obama who was acting on his behalf.”

The report goes further to indicate that not only were news reporters and talk show hosts pressured to withhold information under the threat of losing their jobs but that inherent in the threats was a subtle but distinct hint that any such dissemination of information could result in bodily harm or worse.

Fast-forward to January of 2011. A close friend of Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie, a veteran celebrity reporter by the name of Mike Evans, stated in a radio interview on January 19 that the Governor had initiated an extensive search of records that would prove Obama’s eligibility, and that no such records could be found. But once the story of the allegations hit the news wires yesterday, Evans retracted everything he said by the end of the day on January 26.

Was Mike Evans threatened by someone either close to or within the Obama team?
There are no answers to that question at this time, but given the history of this issue, such a thing would fit a pattern established by those who were schooled in what is known as ‘the Chicago way.’

Obama claims to have been born in Hawaii of two U.S. citizens

I'm not aware that has ever claimed his father was a US citizen. Anyone heard otherwise?

And he earned the “handle” Ace because crashed four of his planes, and was shot down once. He also ranked third from the bottom, not in the bottom third, at the USNA. But he is still a hero in my book.

Yet Palin and the rest say that these facts are no big deal. I say this to all those “Constitutional” scholars out there, “It is a big deal!” Mark Levin, Anne Coulter, FauxNews are all in this fraud together. They love to quote from the Constitution but when it comes to Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 they will not respond.

By any definition of the word, a Military Command is 'executive experience.'

Hardly. At McCain's level, he did not pick his subordinates and had minimal input on training, staffing or performance issues; he mostly folowed regulations and orders from above when it suited him. These are things a high school styudent can do.

"John McCain, like him or hate him, was a Captain in the United States Navy and was the commanding officer of the Navy's largest squadron of aircraft. By any definition of the word, a Military Command is 'executive experience.'

Not in my book, it isn't. Military command is nothing like executive leadership in either business or political office.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Anyway, you can always play your trump card!

Don't forget firing a missile from a parked plane on the deck of a carrier.

Take a look at her most recent interviews...didn’t notice much wrong, especially with her “handling” of Bill Obama.

Mainly, because Senator McCain has abandoned many of the military ideals we were taught and followed....can you think of yourself saying: “Obama is a great guy..not to be feared..”? I didn’t think so. A black man begged McCain at one of his townhall meetings in 2008 to tell the truth about Obama and his radical agenda....result...”crickets..”

Wish the writer had included something about the lawsuits and the concerted effort to financially force her out of office.

Other than that, great op/ed!

If SP hadn't left the governorship and thus not been able to help spearhead the Tea Party miracle of 11/2/10—nobody would have heard of my new Gov Nikki Haley—or a lot of other Tea Party winners for that matter.

It was the smartest political move by anybody so far this century—and those who just dismiss her reasons and ape the liberal talking points against her here at FR are showing their ignorance is only exceeded by their recalcitrance about their ignorance.

Well....I don’t think they can be called ignorant any more. They’ve been told the facts, they just don’t care. I think it is because they have little peni and can’t handle the idea of a strong woman, conservative or otherwise.

It's nice to read a positive, pro-Palin article with actual facts once in awhile.

We really do like in Backwards World, don't we? The media say, "Obama Good, Palin Evil," when the reverse is much more true.

Perhaps that's it—Freud can't always be wrong.

J DeMint,S Palin,H Cain,M Bachman and A West are among the top arms in the Tea Party bullpen—One white dude,two chicks, and two blacks--all solid conservatives—now THAT'S diversity that actually improves America.

Any two of the above as P/VP in any order would suit me just fine.
