Obama transferred to Columbia from Occidental in 1982,graduating in 83. At Occidental he hung around with SDS members.
William Ayers , Founder of SDS offshoot, the Weather Underground, already residing in New York was attending Bank Street College of Education in 1982-84 before continuing his studies at Columbia (through 1987)
Bank Street College of Education is 371 yards along Broadway from Columbia.
They were studying within a quarter mile of each other for two years and had mutual friends, radical professor Edward Said being one.
Altogether they spent 4 years in New York from 82 till 85 when Obama moved to (SURPRISE!) Ayers' home town of Chicago.
Obama has supressed all information about his time in New York.......You figure out why..
“Obama’s birthplace is crucial to his constitutional eligibility for POTUS.” The democrat party is a criminal enterprise. The only thing that is crucial is the quality of the forged documents soon to be viewed as ‘evidence for Obama’s illegitimate parentage and birth in Hawaii.’
wasn’t there an incident last January where somebody was caught looking at Obama’s passport files or state department files. Bush admin was first accused but cleared of any violation of wrong doing. Who was looking at the records?
Gosh...for crying out loud, he is MARRIED to a natural born U.S. citizen, they have a bunch of U.S. natural born children!!!
That is not what happened in the Senatorial race. He had competition throughout and was not expected to win. The expected winner was a wealthy businessman, Blair Hull, who was prevented from winning by the timely revelation of a sexual harassment suit against him and some dirty divorce laundry if I am not mistaken. The other of the three top candidates on the Democrat ballot for Senator was Daniel Hynes.
While it is true they are effectively disenfranchised, they have legal representatives in the electors who do the actual voting for President. If the candidate is not legitimate, they cannot do as their constituents have demanded; hence there is harm.
The question I answered was 'If a citizen does not have standing, who does?' The answer I offered is a rational explanation that suggests "who does" have standing. You may be able to argue that a citizen should have standing, but that doesn't change the legitimacy of the answer. My take is that either an elector or a state SOS is the optimal choice.
That is not the issue. Standing is like me filing a case to have you divorce your wife. I have no standing legally to do so.
You are speaking of authority. And the Court gets its authority through the People via the Constitution and Congress. Standing is different than authority.
I think that's the problem. There apparently IS no entity. Let's be real: If any one of us had Obama's history, we would never even pass the background check for a low-level security clearance. This is one of those things that I think we have assumed to be taken care of, when in fact it is not.

Would that be the manuscript that fills the gap in what is otherwise a non stop production of work from William Ayers?
But if I remember right they had ties back to Obama?
Actually it is just the opposite. Most of Washington’s powers came because of his enormous popularity which made opposing him very difficult. It could only be done surreptiously or risk political suicide. This was the course Jefferson took from within the Administration and he came as close to treason as one can get. He certainly incurred Washington’s hatred by his actions so much so that by the end of his life he would not allow Jefferson’s name to be spoken in his presence.
But Washington’s extraordinary power was no due to a different understanding of the Constitution but because he was Father of Our Country.
Presidents have steadily become more powerful over history with perhaps Roosevelt the most powerful certainly after Lincoln.
“You figure out why..”
He was just a guy in his neighborhood? /sarc
Damn it I wish the MSM would actually do some damned RESEARCH!
That sounds great but the economic powerhouses are the shiiteholes. Who do you think pays the majority of federal taxes?
This incident need to be investigated by Berg or a supena issued for the records... Now that smells a little fishy.
Imagine a new never published author getting 80K in advances! Where do I sign up? My life is FACINATING!
“If any one of us had Obama’s history, we would never even pass the background check for a low-level security clearance.”
If you are from Chicago is the exception!
