7 Yes, I've often thought that the quick fix for poverty is to give everyone a government check that raises them above the poverty line. 
To be perfectly clear (and fair) I would even give one to the millionaires and billionaires, because after I finish taxing them, on their obscene profits made on the backs of the poor, women, minorities, and starving seniors, they will need those checks too.

Of course, under my plan, cat food prices would necessarily sky-rocket!

At least six American service members died in a "gunfight" Wednesday at an airport in the Afghan capital, an Afghan military official told CNN.

"A 50-year-old man opened fire at armed U.S. military soldiers inside the airport after an argument between them turned serious," said Col. Baha Dur, chief of the public relations for the Afghan National Army at Kabul military airport.

38 "Adorably predictable":  Twitter'd death threats against Trump

39

Republicans Seeking Improved Message

The first problem with the Republican plan is itÂ’s too complicated and therefore it is too easy to mischaracterize.  But, rather than start over or ditch the plan, letÂ’s make some substitutions and add a couple of improvements.

 Create a new subchapter for small businesses.  Small business owners are being screwed by having to file as individuals.  Let them file a new 1040-SB for their business earnings that has very few deductions but low brackets.Add tax brackets for individual tax filers making over $250,000 (39%), $1 million (43%), $2.5 million (46%) and $10 million (50%).  Take away the “tax the rich” argument.DonÂ’t change the structure of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.  Instead, tighten requirements for qualifying.  There are way too many people qualifying as “disabled.”Push means testing for SS.  Anyone with pensions and other annuities totaling over $250,000 per year gets SS benefits cut by 50%.

 These are minor improvements that undercut the Dems demagoguery.  But what will win the election is:

Bring jobs back to America.  Tarriffs!  Tax breaks for returning factories.  Start with textiles and expand from there.

 BHO promised to bring jobs back to the US, but failed miserably.  Trump is making progress by demanding tariffs on Chinese products.  This is the winning issue.  It helps employment and adds money to the tax coffers.  I know this goes against everything the neo-Republican checked pants crowd considers sacred, but it is in line with traditional Republicanism.

 

Roll back free trade agreements and dump the WTO.

 Now this is radical, but it is a winning issue.  America will not get back on its feet until we manufacture goods for our own markets.  Just like the auto industry, if foreign companies want to sell in our market without tariffs they need to manufacture a certain percentage of the goods HERE.  Refrigerators, microwaves, televisionsÂ…

 We need to stop giving a damn about the employment and economy of other countries.  It hasnÂ’t worked.  The only counties that we should have free trade agreements with are those that have similar wages and regulations.

 

Speaking of regulations, start rolling them back.  BHO promised to go through them and eliminate the burdensome regs.  He failed miserably, while actually increasing them significantly.

 We have some great examples; the Delta Smelt, Shell Oil and the ice breaker ship, etc.

Great starting set:
I might add:
Stop funding the UN
Stop funding kleptocratic dictators
Stop almost all foreign aid (make an exception for Israel)
Bring troops home from Europe, and most other places.
Secure the border

47 "progress by demanding tariffs on Chinese products.  This is the winning issue.  It helps employment and adds money to the tax coffers.  I know this goes against everything the neo-Republican checked pants crowd considers sacred, but it is in line with traditional Republicanism."


Hm

48 Cooter,  I think there are ways to create jobs without getting into a trade war with China.  Let's not forget they hold a large chunk of our debt.

If we opened up drilling in the Gulf and Alaska and other places,  started working on using oil shale and exploiting coal, etc. quite a few jobs would be created without one dime of federal expenditure.

As energy prices came down, we would have a population with more money to spend on other things,  so that would, of course,  create more jobs.

And that isn't counting nuclear power plant and refinery construction, both of which are sorely needed.

49

DonÂ’t change the structure of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.  Instead, tighten requirements for qualifying.  There are way too many people qualifying as “disabled.”Push means testing for SS.  Anyone with pensions and other annuities totaling over $250,000 per year gets SS benefits cut by 50%.

Such changes do not help with the optics, which is what you were proposing. While means testing may not play badly, disenrolling the disabled ( and I agree that SSI is badly overused) will play badly. Count on Dems rolling out sob stories, much like was done whenever tort reform was proposed.

 

Remember that what you propose is not merely sound policy, it strikes at one of the Dem base constituancies.

The free speech knock on Petraeus is the wrong tack; the real issue is "target lock".  He was too focused on his job and failed to respect the broader issues.

Target lock in a General isn't good, but I can live with it.  Target lock as a Cabinet level official cannot be accepted.  Hopefully, the officer in him can do a little introspection and self-check that behavior going forward.

Down the road a little, the service chiefs are going to own Penetta.  But, he may be the only option Obama has - he would have an outright mutiny on his hands if he tried to put any of his think tank clowns in there.  And, appearently, even Obama didn't trust Webb or Kerry.

agree we need to get back into the resource exploitation biz. 

But re-booting our manufacturing industry could be done with carrots instead of sticks.  Target industries with special tax breaks.  Entice foreign manufacturers to open here.  Make sure it is more attractive for Ford to open a new plant in Kentucky, for instance, than to open a new one in Mexico.

We need a business oriented administration in the White House and in each governor's office in every state.

72 Looks like when Bob Gates said there would be no boot on the ground in Libya as long as he was SecDef, he meant it.  Now he's out and Patraeus is in.  I guess there will be boots on the ground in Libya.

House Votes to Strip Public Employee Unions of Collective Bargaining Rights in Â… MassachusettsÂ…

House lawmakers voted overwhelmingly last night to strip police officers, teachers, and other municipal employees of most of their rights to bargain over health care, saying the change would save millions of dollars for financially strapped cities and towns.

The 111-to-42 vote followed tougher measures to broadly eliminate collective bargaining rights for public employees in Ohio, Wisconsin, and other states. But unlike those efforts, the push in Massachusetts was led by Democrats who have traditionally stood with labor to oppose any reduction in workersÂ’ rights.

Also in on today's wuppin' of John Boehner (R Clueless):

Reacting to Boehner’s comments in an exclusive interview with ABC News Monday that big oil companies “ought to be paying their fair share" and that “they've got some part of this to blame,” Pelosi wrote in a letter obtained by ABC News to House Speaker John Boehner, that “House Democrats have long advocated eliminating outdated and costly taxpayer subsidies that provide billions of dollars to highly profitable oil companies.”

“Your comments yesterday acknowledged that oil companies ought to be paying their fair share,” Pelosi, D-Calif., wrote. “It makes little sense for American consumers -- who are now paying over $4 a gallon for gasoline in most parts of the United States -- to have billions of their taxpayer dollars subsidizing oil companies that are making record profits.”

Pelosi called on Boehner to “schedule a vote on ending these tax breaks on the House floor” upon Congress’s return from recess next week and noted that she was looking "forward to our working together to achieve this necessary change.”

89 "As a friend noted on Facebook, ObamaÂ’s popularity is falling so fast that Kenyans are now claiming Obama was born in the United States."

FOCROFLMAO

90 You'll do realize our manufacturing base isn't dead - it has been distributed.  What is dead are large consolidated, long terms workforces.   I not sure we want them back. 

Give me a hundred nimble smaller enterprises with innovative management, and a value based on IP and business volume versus "economies of scale" and a distributor chain.  Small enough to fail is GOOD.

Now get some sanity back into tort reform, be reasonable in environmental restrictions, and make health benefits a personal tax deduction -- and let the small guys grow this economy.  Tariffs, government carrots, etc. all distort the economy - they have the same inherent Marxist failure - some "expert" or politician is deciding what the economy needs, and they don't know.

The workers need portable retirement plans that they own, not company pensions; they need to own their own health insurance; and they need to generally be responsible for themselves.

92 I was making coffee when this thought hit me, tell me if I'm off my rocker (which I was cuz I was standing, heh, or if it makes sense)

Obama didn't go to Easter Mass for Catholic support (votes) he went to an all black Mass with a Priest that proclaimed his grand baby is no longer considered 3/5 a person because of the Ds, to garner the Black vote.  He has lost a lot of AA support and needed to show that in his heart, he still hates whitey!

93 The free speech knock on Petraeus is the wrong tack

I disagree.  As a military commander Petraeus swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, of which free speech is an important part.  Having a man who doesn't respect the Constitution (or free speech) in charge of the CIA is a big problem.

94 I think we should blot out the sun so that heater and lightbulb manufacturers don't have to compete with a cheap foreign resource.

95 We should support the attack to remove the Wilsonian authoritarian powers "authorizing" the Federal Reserve.

Boehner epitomizes the GOP establishment. America is strangling under the Federal Reserve's authoritarian abuse of powers, and the GOP won't fight it.

Mark Steyn pointed out Nancy Pelosi's "Common Values" speech to Republicans amounting to the biggest ever authoritarian enforcement of mass poverty via no-value Dollar, federal taxation on the middle class and federal implementation of inflation while wages fall, breaking the middle class into submission.

Steyn also pointed out that despite personal respect for Paul Ryan, that's far too little far too late a "plan" since in 10 years America already is a broken nation by stubbornly stupid suicidal spending (S⁴).

Finally, Steyn pointed out markedly how the entire Republican Leadership eschews the Tea Party movement to the chagrin of voters.

The GOP plays Lucy to the Tea Party Charlie Brown each election, pulling out the fabricated Cloak and Dagger aka "Truther" and "Birther" meanings poisoned by false attributions.

The 9/11 Commission Chairman and Members denounced their own Report after the fact when they realized that the Federal Authoritarians had coerced false testimony from all government witnesses who confessed themselves after the fact. It takes neoconservatism, those in power, to attack the 9/11 Commission as "Truthers".

Obama is the embodiment of Deceit. There is a specific constitutional requirement that every POTUS be a natural born US citizen, the Founders' encyclopedia defining that both parents be US citizens and the birth be within the USA. Demanding verification, let alone upholding the constitutional standard, is the responsible procedure in upholding and defending the US Constitution. So what happened? Immediately, neoconservatives were first to accredit no record as fully sufficient while simultaneously attacking any demand for documented substantiation as "Birtherism".

Were Steyn a natural born US citizen, I'd be campaigning for him as POTUS. As it is, I'll maintain constitutional conservative governance with the candidate firmly on that platform.

96

He has lost a lot of AA support and needed to show that in his heart, he still hates whitey!

I don't know which is worse:  that democrats subject minorities to the soft bigorty of low expectations, or that racism may work.

97 that would require he tell the truth, so chance of that.

Nevermind Representational GovernmentÂ…Emotional Congressman Demands Obama Use Executive Power or Latinos WonÂ’t Vote for Him; Urges Use of Homeland Security Memo as Cover to Decree Immigration Reform

Yeah, right after he closes Gitmo.

109 Joseph the Plumber.. heh

110 Having a man who doesn't respect the Constitution (or free speech) in charge of the CIA is a big problem.

The CIA officiated the White House given GHWB.

The CIA officially merges with the US Military given Petraeus.

Instead of any constitutional separation and limit of powers, we witness the amalgamation of authoritarianism requiring the subjugation of America to elitist globalism. Of course it's accomplished carrying the banners of patriotism. As if the UN recognizes any sovereign nation.

How gracious of him. He'll finally do what the peasantry is compelled to do every day. Think he'll wait for the ink to dry first? Is this the one that the frickin' governor of the state of Hawaii prattled on about, only to wander away before the punchline?

115 102 Drudge: OBAMA TO SHOW LONG FORM BIRTH CERT
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say it's a fake.

116 Calm down, Morons. He's the Chairman of the Fed. He's well aware of the volatility his statements can inject into capital and commodities markets. I've been looking at his prepared and I don't see anything that could give rise to investor panic. Let's see... Bond buying program winding down as expected, okay... refers to Sec. Geithner's reassurances of our strong-dollar policy... mmm-hmm... This is interesting. The green ink manufacturing sector is projected to see a sharp increase in revenue... RUN FOR THE HILLS! NO, WAIT! BUY GOLD AND AMMO AND RUN FOR THE HILLS!

117 Drudge siren:  Obama to show long-form birth certificate.

Posted by: Whoa at April 27, 2011 08:58 AM (GUduV)

Why now?  We are already 2 1/2 years into his regime.  I don't give a shit anymore because what's done is done. 

118 (CNN) – The White House released President Obama's original birth certificate Wednesday.

The surprise release follows recent and sustained remarks by businessman Donald Trump, among others, that raised doubts as to whether the president was born in the United States.



"Uh, anybody read Swahilli? "

119 Shep Smith: ‘Fox News Can Confirm The President Of The United States Is A Citizen Of The United States. Period.’

120 Ha! It took Donald Trump antagonizing The Won.

Now The Donald won't run.

121 So the strategy is:  Boehner is going to let Pelosi put a measure on repealing certain energy industry tax breaks up for a vote.  The Dims vote for it, and a bunch of 'pubs don't vote, letting it pass.  It goes to the Senate, where some lefty tool (pick one) sponsors it, and Reid lets it go to the floor for a vote - and it passes.  Then Obama signs it, with or without a signing statement.  Gas prices skyrocket.  Then the 'Pubs get to hammer the Dims because of high gas prices.

Right, that will work

So he refused to do this as an obligation to the office that he sought, but would do it to placate the host of a reality TV show? That's gravitas by the bucketful.

124 at long last we can finally put this birtherism to rest and move onto stuff that matters, like being bankrupt

Geez Shep.....LOTS of people are 'CITIZENS' you effeminate dipshit.

126 What I saw is a picture of someone holding what appears to be Obama's birth certificate.  On its face, his BC looks fine to me, but I'll wait to see what our web-based super sleuths have to say.

127 It happened in Massachusetts ...
House lawmakers voted overwhelmingly last night to strip police officers, teachers, and other municipal employees of most of their rights to bargain over health care, saying the change would save millions of dollars for financially strapped cities and towns.
The 111-to-42 vote followed tougher measures to broadly eliminate collective bargaining rights for public employees in Ohio, Wisconsin, and other states. But unlike those efforts, the push in Massachusetts was led by Democrats who have traditionally stood with labor to oppose any reduction in workersÂ’ rights.

128 Obama,

129 Bambi will hold a press conference in 35 minutes...or whenever he gets there.

130 Poor Poor Jerome Corsi, I'm guessing his book sales are going to plummet

131 I want to find out how Toonces went to Pock-hee-Stahn when Americans were forbidden to do so and on what Passport?

132 I just looked at it.  I'm gonna say it's fake.  It looks fake.

133 Then the 'Pubs get to hammer the Dims because of high gas prices.

Right, that will work

John Boehner thinks he's Machiavelli.  We're screwed.

134 My money's on forgery.  He still has to explain why he waited until now to release produce this.

135

Posted by: Blue Hen at April 27, 2011 09:04 AM (326rv)

Nope, the Fed is giving a presser today so they want to create a distraction.

136 Oh, and Panetta is a complete dumbass.  He's the perfect choice to micro-manage our slow, controlled loss in Afghanistan.

And I'm frankly starting to wonder about Petraeus despite his success in Iraq; maybe he'll pull it together again at CIA.

137 Now we're also going to get newly released produced Occidental/Columbia/Harvard transcripts showing straight A's. 

138 *Unlikely=either its getting bad enough and they finally got a good fake ready

*More likely=they've been holding back the birth certificate all along and playing coy about it to make a few righties overreact (Alysnki) thus distract the country from from gas, unemployment, lost wars and use the media to discredit republicans and tea partiers generally.   Always a herd of social cons ready to jump at that bait.  My guess is that the issue has been gaining traction and thus clearly crossed the line for white house strategerists and become a liability rather then a benefit.  Thats why we are seeing it now...

Also who is this Barry Moonflower Sotero guy?  I wanted to see Barack Hussein Obamas birth certificate.

139

Has anyone ever seen a real birth certificate without a raised embossed seal?

Mine is 15 years newer than that one, give or take, and mine's in shitty condition.  That one looks near-mint.

And why now?  Really!  This was a great thing for the rpesident to sit on, politically, to make his opponents look stupid.  He should have released it--at the earliest-- when he was re-nominated.

140 now can we see his grades while at Harvard?

141 Well ... that ended with a whimper..

142

Nope, the Fed is giving a presser today so they want to create a distraction.

exactly!

after the Bernak's speech, the stock market will probably fall and we need something else to talk about.

143

So is this another installment of "let's talk about something other than the ongoing fuck-up follies"? Or did someone there at Unicorn ranch realize that they had to counter this because it's finally gaining traction?

 

Let's go to the tote board for the current odds.

144 Funny how zerO has a copy of his birth certificate now but Hawaii does not.

145 where is it that people are seeing it?

146 79 Or, as Antony Blinken, Vice President Biden’s national security adviser, put it in The New York Times on Sunday, “We did lead—we cleared the way for the allies.” ----------------------------------- Boys I've got two pictures hanging on the walls of my home gym. One is George S. Patton, the other is Antony Blinken. You see men, they are both leaders, just of a different sort. I use each for motivation in a different way. Now when I really want to push myself(in the home gym)I grab the free weights, grab my balls, look George S. Patton in the eye and I growl, "General, lead the way and I don't care if we end up at the gates of hell!". And then I push out a set or two to exhaustion. Now when it's time for a different approach, I turn to one Antony Blinken. That's right men, I grab my latte and take a nice comfortable seat at the BowFlex machine! I'll grab the Lat bar(not too tight), look Antony Blinken right in the eye and say, "Blinken, I'm gonna push out these Lat pulldowns half-ass and with no expectation of a positive result! Then I'm going to get the hell out of here before I break something and get blamed for it!" So gentlemen, you can lead and demand others get the hell out of the way, or you can lead and "clear the way" for others. In my home gym, I have the best of both worlds.

147 Birth Cert is on Drudge

148 I want to see Barrys transcripts.

149 Pfft - it's a picture of a copy, being held-up by someone. Not the embossed original.

He has the entire Federal Government at his disposal - you telling me he couldn't have fabricated this?

Simply not serious.

150 I do find it odd that Race isn't on it. Gonna have to head to FR to see if they have some comparison Long Forms from the same time.

151 of course it looks near mint it's been in a gov't filing cabinet since he was born.

152 WTF is FOX talking about?  Is the big release just another computer form similar to what's already been released?  What was I just looking at with hand-written entries?

153 @144

Nope, the Fed is giving a presser today so they want to create a distraction.

yup.

154

Looking at the information on it, there is no plausible reason he would not have released it already.  Seriously.  I smell a rat, and it's a big rat.

155 Posted by: Truman North at April 27, 2011 09:11 AM (8ay4x)

It's clean looking because it is a copy of the original that has been sitting undisturbed for 49 years. This isn't the birth certificate that was given to the parent.

156 Didn't he say, in one of his books, that something 'bothered' him about his BC?  I can't see anything that would cause him to be bothered.

157 OMG, I thought you guys were joking about Panetta to the Pentagon, but I just saw it on Drudge. 

158 This a thoughtfully written piece on a horrific subject. To think that our tax money was involved is infuriating to put it mildly. I had to exercise for an hour in order to keep myself from destroying furniture, but tax payers need to be confronted with this no matter how one feels about this "right".

What will Donald recognize it to be?

Way too easy a duck out of running.

And should it be a fraud, and The Donald accept it as valid, what good came of Trump's antagonism?

As far as being a natural born citizen according to the Founders' US Constitution, both of the president's parents must be US Citizens and the birth be in the USA. And dog piling on that rabbit isn't going to revise the Founders' encyclopedia.

There is no reason to trust Obama. There is even less reason to trust those who enabled Obama's election, those who cooperate as authoritarian enablers.

That Obama is driving America to utter destruction is reason enough to oppose him.

161 So who here thinks that today's presser will lead to 1000+ point drop in the markets? Posted by: chemjeff at April 27, 2011 07:10 AM (K91WZ) But aren't the markets feeling bullish, and isn't there a rally to silver?

LOL!  Remember when O & M went to India?  I was watching an Indian news broadcast and they had a panel of people on commenting as Obama landed and made his way to the limo.

The anchor at one point said, "He really should have someone walking behind him whispering, 'Remember thou art mere mortal....remember thou art mere mortal'.  I fell off my chair laughing.

Unlike Obama, Corsi earned his prestigious degrees.

Unlike Obama's administration, Corsi does not fabricate evidence.

I'd have to go find the statute again.

188 For a Hawaii birth, there is no problem with that.  That law only would apply if Hussein was born outside of the US - in that case, Stanley's young age would prohibit her from automatically giving US citizenship to her kid.


I don't remember the born outside the US qualifier.

190 I wish that this would end it, but of course it won't. Good news is that Trump's embryonic campaign is done. He can play this off as "See, I was just asking questions, I get results, he hadn't released this before I started asking." But that's still a non-starter. He said he had all these investigators and there was nothing. So good bye Trump. But its good because he wasn't a Republican really, so it wasn't a Republican burning out on this one. Birfer's need to let it go. It didn't take this long to fake it. He left it out there as bait to reel in fish. He caught Trump, which is just as well anyway. Everyone else needs to say, see, I always said I took him at his word. And MOVE THE FUCK ON. There is nothing to be gained in this.

I basically agree (minus the ALL CAPS) but guess I would just add that I find it interesting he released this just as Trump's questions about his academic records heated up. 

194 What are all the pencil marks? I'm sure they have nothing to do with "Birtherism" but why go around putting random numbers/letters in the boxes of the form?

195 Funny thing.  The BC isn't top news on Google.

198 BTW - it's not Obama's copy, it's a certified scan from the Hawaii State Register, dated 4/25/2011

199 Having not paid much attention to the birth certificate controversy, I hadn't realized that Barky Sr must've been doing the horizontal mambo with Stanley Ann awfully soon after she turned 18.

200

InstaP. has a link to someone arrested for singing "Kung Fu Fighting".

No, really.

201

Yeah.  That was the key to that argument, which is why people had demanded a BC with the birth hospital on it.  I think Thomas Sowell was the first to being this original argument up.

Of course, Hussein is still not Constitutionally eligible because of being born to a foreign father in addition to the additional nationalities he seems to have taken on (through his supposed adoption to Lolo Soetoro).



Eh, I was never big on the BC thing, except it was a red flag to me that he wouldn't release it.

Funny, no one digging into passport questions. Guess that's not as sexy.

I do have a screen cap of an article from an East African newspaper that identifies Obama as "Kenyan born".

If you look to the left, the BC on that page has pencil marks too.

206 I'm easily confused and I can't access the form. Is this the real certificate, or is this a re-tread of the COLB that was already furnished?

207 It is a sham:

NBC News reports that the president requested the release of the birth certificate last week and that the White House counsel personally traveled to Hawaii to receive it.

210 Here's more from MSNBC:

Pfeiffer said the president asked his counsel to go through the legal options of asking the state of Hawaii to make an exception to release a form of birth certificate not normally made public. Pfeiffer said the state agreed to do so, “in part because of the tremendous volume of requests they had been getting.”

211

210 207 Miss80'sBaby,

They're really forcing the performances this time. The places where they're having the most impact are the divided or D-leaning parts of these swing districts, since they can get the more emotional reactions there. Some of the shouting matches and other reactions have been intense at times, though I don't think the libs are capturing as many violent reactions as they want. Regardless, I know it's an old tactic of theirs but it still disgusts me because they're attempting to disrupt actual debate over sensitive issues.

212 Fack!

213 So, will all of the policy changes that Hawaii has made to make it difficult to get the long form be reversed?

214 Vice President BidenÂ’s national security adviser's mother must be so proud.

215 Wait, I thought Hawaii JUST said they CAN'T release the long form? WTF?

216
Pfeiffer said the president asked his counsel to go through the legal options of asking the state of Hawaii to make an exception to release a form of birth certificate not normally made public.

Oh, come on!  I specifically remember the Hawaiian official stating that they couldn't release it without authorization from the person in question, not that they couldn't release it under any circumstances.  God this administration is a bunch of lying cocksuckers. 

Obviously all Obama had to do is obtain a copy from Hawaii for his personal use and show it at the start of this whole mess.

Sure, many times.  And the entire left side of the form did that disappearing into the center binding effect.  Here, it looks like a green safety paper frame was p-shopped around the smaller Certificate OLB that was copied out of a big book.  Have never seen that before.

The pdf looks like the certificate was faxed to the White House and they, in their ham-fisted way, decided to add the cross-hatch pattern behind it.
As far as form and content (of the black portion), it looks right.

IÂ’m now more convinced that Obama was born in Hawaii than I am that OJ did it.

On the other side of this Â… all those court cases costing how many millions of dollars. The man has no sense of the value of a dollar because itÂ’s always somebody elseÂ’s dollar that he is spending.

239 245 Sure, many times. And the entire left side of the form did that disappearing into the center binding effect. Here, it looks like a green safety paper frame was p-shopped around the smaller Certificate OLB that was copied out of a big book. Have never seen that before.

241 I guess we can all give the BC thing a rest now, right? It seems seems that for some, there will never be proof enough that he was born in the US. Unless someone definitively proves that this was a forgery, I'm good with this. Now, can we get on with making sure he's out on his a** in 2013? Gotta hand it to the Donald. Now all we need to see are his transcripts, and then the Donald can go back to what he was doing and leave the GOP alone. I got to the transcripts thread too late to comment (as usual). Not that anyone asked, but my $0.02 is that Barry's IQ is somewhat above average but not exceptional by any means or even close. Still doesn't prevent him from being dumb as a sack of pebbles when it comes to practical matters. I can see how he could have held off showing the BC to bait people, but I'm almost sure the transcripts show just OK or only slightly above average grades at best. Otherwise, they would be trumpeted all over the place as yet more evidence of his superb geniusry (actually the only evidence we would have whatsoever, but the MBM won't point that out. Based on the habits he displays today, I seriously doubt he was a hard worker or took the nitty gritty work seriously. I know I wouldn't mind anyone releasing my college or grad school grades or SAT or GRE scores or high school or elementary school or nursery school grades. I might demurely protest slightly for reasons of modesty while smiling to myself. I can confidently say that the majority of commenting 'rons and 'ettes here have higher IQs than Barry.

242 It'll be easier for him to blow off calls for his transcripts now.

Same thought here. There's something a little too neat about this, for it not to have been provided long before.

244 Re Obama's "long form birth certificate release". Right on top, in bold letters, the form states "certificate of live birth". So, aren't we back to square one?

Heh.  Figures they'd take PC over historical accuracy.

"Can't solve our problem is we're distracted by sideshows and carnival barkers." "We do not have time for this silliness...I do not have time for this silliness."

Then why did You make this an issue  Mr President. silliness aye, You personally played  the American people as  a joke.

 not very presidential.

248 260 It'll be easier for him to blow off calls for his transcripts now.
Maybe, maybe not. He just set the precedent of releasing previously unreleased documents to avoid "distractions". So what happens if the transcript requests take the place of the BC in the media? He'll be obligated to stem the "distractions" again.

249

His right to do whatever the hell he wants.

classsssssay. not

258 Wait, someone should feed Trump a list of other stuff we want to know about Barry that are under lock and key so he can raise a stink about it before he (the Donald) is mysteriously but lovingly kidnapped and kept away until the GOP primaries are over. Again, gotta hand it to the Toupe for most likely putting a wrench in Obama's plans to spring the BC at the best time to make Republicans look silly.

259 same president that flips the birs at others.  impressive isn't it.

260 It's the economy, stupid.

I don't see how this changes anything with regards to the academic records.

If you google the Nordyke twins (who were born a day after Obama at the same hospital) you can see that the parent's race is listed as 'Caucasian', which, according to your link should have said 'white'.  I think they took the self-identifying description and used that.

266 At least they were smart enough not to use default Microsoft Word settings.

Easier than what?  He never intended to release them, so I don't think that ball can be moved back any further.  I think it goes the other way; once releases start, it's hard to argue against further ones that are germane to the discussion - as his transcripts (and passport/visa documentation) is.

Shit, Presidential biographers usually demand all of this stuff, and everyone knows it.  One would think, especially for the only guy who was actually raised in a foreign nation, as a foreigner and a muslim, that this information would be among the most important for anyone trying to write the biography of this retard.

Iin June 6, 2009  Ms. Okubo the Secretary of Health for the State of Hawaii,,  officially acknowledged that it no longer maintains hard copy records of original "Certificates of Live Birth" as part of its officially authorized records documentation, verification, and creation process.

Agreed. Unless a Dem challenger emerges, and shows signs of success, they will remain servile. If one does emerge, then we might be in for a popcorn worthy event.

I can't argue with that but they won't do it with as much enthusiasm.  Plus sooner or later they have to wake up to the fact that people are increasingly tuning them out; the size of my local fishwrap has shrunk to the size that parakeet owners have to make sure their birds don't have diarrhea.  I think some individuals, who haven't had all personal initiative leached out of them, will start figuring out that there's fertile territory in taking on this glass-jawed, thin-skinned imbecile.

Could be worse. Fox News could be upending their entire nighttime schedule to bring us news from Britain in an attempt to whip us up in a frenzy for the wedding.

Oh, wait. Yeah, that's happening. Tried to watch Red Eye last night and got an eyeful of Sky News instead.

It was Ace, not The Donald who forced the issue of The Flapping Wrist's BC. It still lacks some information as mine, such as "married" and vital stats like birthweight. I am sure experts are looking at this right now (see: Rathergate). Note, too, it was only certified two days ago. Whatever.

He still needs to release transcripts, grades and classes he took, employment record and what he did as an attorney and why he gave up his license (maybe that was discussed in past), health records as president, etc.

Plus, the LA Times needs to release the videotape of a 2003 banquet honoring Rashid Khalidi, a leading Palestinian activist and scholar and professor of Arab Studies at Columbia, and former spokesman for the PLO. At the dinner, Obama spoke of their friendship and how much he had learned from him. [Bring it on]
