Irregular Times: News Unfit to Print Logo

It is a time of fear in the face of freedom, a time of barricaded roads and new paths. Maps fade and direction is lost as we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we pass, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread. Gone are the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times.

Did Barack Obama Apply to Occidental College as a Foreigner Named Barry Soetero? Is New Jersey a Portal for the Flaxxian Alliance Starfleet?
posted 3rd May 2009 in Barack Obama, Democrats, Media, Mysteries, Politics, Religion by Jim

There’s a real doozy of a “news story” making the rounds through e-mails and on right-wing websites. It claims that an Occidental College shows proof that Barack Obama registered there as an undergraduate under the name “Barry Soetoro,” and as a foreign student. Aha! Here is the smoking gun proof, the posts declare, that Barack Obama is a foreigner, not an American, and not constitutionally fit to be our President!

An example of the short form of this story, posted April 22 2009, can be found at Anti-Jihad Resistance:

Mujrim Posts Latest Claim that Barack Obama is a Foreigner, Really This Time

The Coalition for Freedom of Information referred to in this post is an amateur UFO research group which hasn’t issued any press releases since 2007. Its avowed research agenda regards interstellar travel, exobiology, extraterrestrial intelligence and “unidentified aerial phenomena,” not the character of Barack Obama’s college application.

Notice that the provided hyperlinks are for another right-wing website (which has nothing at all on this “story”) and two general web pages for Occidental College, neither of which has any information on this supposed document. No webpage at Occidental College provides this supposed information or even references the claim.

The long version of this claim has been posted around on right-wing websites that put it in the form of an Associated Press article:

AP- WASHINGTON D.C. – In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama’s qualifications for the presidency, the group “Americans for Freedom of Information” has released copies of President Obama’s college transcripts from Occidental College. Released today, the transcript indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate at the school. The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court of California. The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program. To qualify, for the scholarship, a student must claim foreign citizenship. This document would seem to provide the smoking gun that many of Obama’s detractors have been seeking.

The news has created a firestorm at the White House as the release casts increasing doubt about Obama’s legitimacy and qualification to serve as president. When reached for comment in London, where he has been in meetings with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Obama smiled but refused comment on the issue. Meanwhile, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs scoffed at the report stating that this was obviously another attempt by a right-wing conservative group to discredit the president and undermine the administration’s efforts to move the country in a new direction.

Britain’s Daily Mail has also carried the story in a front-page article titled, “Obama Eligibility Questioned”, leading some to speculate that the story may overshadow economic issues on Obama’s first official visit to the U.K.

Over at Free Republic, they’re posting this “story” and praying, “LORD, GOD, PLEASE MULTIPLY THE SPREAD OF THIS INFO INTO EVERY EVEN PARTIALLY PATRIOTIC AMERICAN’S CONSCIOUSNESS, IN Your Name, Lord.”

But there is no such article at the Daily Mail, there is no record of Robert Gibbs making any such statement, there is no such group as the Americans for Freedom of Information, and finally, of course, there is no record of any such Associated Press story actually being written.

A prototype of this “story” appeared in January 2009 with the same contention that Barack Obama registered as “Barry Soetoro” as a freshman at Occidental College:

Even Occidental College states that Newsweek reported that Barry entered their college as BARRY SOETORO under his Indonesian passport and NOT as Barack Obama.

http://www.oxy.edu/x8270.xml

That’s a triple-indirect flip, if you’re into scoring referential gymnastics: a poster referring to Occidental College referring to Newsweek making a claim. Follow that link, of course, and you’ll see that Occidental College makes no such claim in the article. The most Occidental College says on that web page is that back in his college days, Barack Obama at first went by his nickname “Barry.” Horrors! Catastrophe appalling! But since the target audience of this “news story” is people who don’t actually check links and facts, it doesn’t matter that the factual claim is bogus. It has the form and appearance of truth, and so it will be repeated as truth. That’s the goal.

It’s all a hoax, and a pretty transparent one at that for anyone who pays attention. Yet for months now, in various forms, this “story” has been e-mailed and dittoed and posted and reposted all over the right-wing web. Why? For people who feel deep down in their gut that this uppity black man with an Arabic-sounding (but actually African) last name cannot possibly be a “real American,” falsehood rings more truly than the truth itself. Rather than abandon their bigotry and conspiracy theories about Islamofascist puppet government, they’ll hug the stinking lies tighter than they would their own mother. So yes, you can expect to see this completely false “breaking news” popping up over, and over, and over again, far into the future.

    Jim, You have not made a comment since 6/10. I hope you lost your fingers and voice so noone has to endure you leftist banter again. Or maybe you just responded to this blog for so long that the power was cut off because you were expecting Obama to pay the bill. Either way I am happy to not here from you.

    • Jonathan says:

      ok guys, heres the thing…..why in the world would he have spent $950,000 and up just trying to hide his documents…if he were an actual citizen of the U.S.A. then he should have no problem in handing over his birth certificate…i think that whoever wrote this page is biased and obviously a demi. i am actually a constitutionalist at heart.

    • Sam Adams says:

      I saw an “article” posted about this today. I then got all excited and lost my mind. I sent copies to me 9-12, Liberation and other conservative friends. Someone asked me how reliable the source was on this (I am usually that person but alas, not this time). THEN, I went to my “go to fact-checker” for The rumormill that is the Internet, The Snopes Website famous for exposing the internet myths such as the poor little boy who wanted to collect business cards or stamps for his “give a wish” experience before he died.

      Snopes says “It ain’t so” and that is good enough for me at least for now.

    jim quit your bitching you are a liberal pussy that is just pissed that people have facts that
    prove husaine obama is a boarder hopper

    • Jim says:

      Notice how frustrated they are. If the Obama birth certificate conspiracy people actually had documentable facts at their disposal, they wouldn’t be frustrated; they’d simply offer the facts with the facts’ valid documentation and move on. Since they don’t have documentable facts, what do they have left? “Liberal pussy” and “boarder hopper.” The latter sounds kind of like a locust or something.

      • Wolfladyk says:

        How can anyone have the “facts” when the man has now spent over $1 million to HIDE THE TRUTH. ROFL!

  5. Anonymous says:

    jim you need to get a job. this my be the reason you bitch so much you are worried if the boarder hopper get kicked out of his government housing (the white house) you might also get evicted and lose your government cheese that i am paying for you liberal pussy

  6. Hotrod says:

    As far as liberal sycophants like Jim are concerned ,all you have to do is make statements without facts to be believed. The Marxist Obama could put these issues to rest by releasing a) the birth certificate and b) the transcripts . If these documents supported his ( Obama ) claim the “transparent president”would have released the documents during the primaries ! His refusals to do so speak volumes !!

  7. WeMadeAmistake says:

    The true fact remains that his records have not been released. If you are an American, be it leftist or rightist, you should be concerned about this. If he has nothing to hide, then why not disclose the information. Otherwise, it remains obvious that he has been hiding something(s). His record is so far very dishonest. He has not kept a single promise that he has made. There is growing evidence of his narcissism. This is very dangerous for all Americans.

    • Sarah says:

      Very Well Said. I notice all the comments on it being a right-wing smear campaign. WTH? I am conservative, but even if it was McCain up there with the same story behind him, I would say, President McCain, show your records, for God sakes man so we can end all this bull****. It doesn’t matter if it is left or right, it just matters that if the guy is qualified to hold that office. Plain and simple folks. And further more, Bush lied and we know it and now Barrack is doing the same thing. Who cares about left and right anymore, I am tired of politicians that just lie all the time, and I am tired of Americans who don’t use their heads and don’t apply some critical thinking to the matter. If he has nothing to hide…then don’t hide it. Ugh. Let us not divide on this issue. Let us all come together as Americans for once and just say, He dude, sorry about all this but you kinda have a questionable past at least to some….show us these papers so we can confirm that you are qualified and that we can move on. This is ridiculous. I had some guy comparing this to the DMV…this is the President of the United States people, he can declare martial law on us if he wants to..(I hate you Bush) Don’t you want to make sure of his past? AT ALL??? Are we going to continue to ‘take politician’s word for it.’ Cause we know how well that worked with Iraq. SOrry so long. Love you America!!!

      • Jim says:

        No, you wouldn’t. Nobody was asking for John McCain’s birth certificate. And he has fully divulged the document the DMV asks for.

        • LORDHELPUSNOW says:

          WE KNOW WHO JOHN MCCAIN WAS…REMEMBER HE SERVED HIS COUNTRY AND WAS A DECORATED POW FOR THIS COUNTRY. HE DID NOT HAVE THE CLOUDS OF DOUBT OR SUSPICIONS THAT BARRY HAS!!! YOUR BRAINLESS LIBERAL GOONS MAY BELIEVE YOUR SENSELESS, STUPID ANSWERS BUT ANYONE WITH A SPECK OF INTELLIGENCE CAN CLEARLY SEE YOUR AGENDA AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FACTS OR HONESTY!! IT IS PURELY FOR THE PURPOSES OF SPREADING THE LIBERAL DISEASE OF ENTITLEMENT AND SOCIALISM!! I HAVE COME ACROSS THIS BLOG FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER AND MUST AGREE WITH MOST REPSONSES THAT YOU SOUND LIKE A WASTE OF HUMAN FLESH AND AIR!!! IF YOU WANT TO PORTRAY YOUR SELF AS AN AMERICAN THEN DEMAND YOUR KING HUSSEIN RELEASE HIS RECORDS RATHER THAN HIDE BEHIND THE DUSTCLOUD OF THE DEBATE OF WHAT THE RECORDS MIGHT SHOW!!!

        • grandma says:

          Jim, you need to get your facts straight. The DNC demanded McCain’s birth certificate (the original long form, the only one that “proves” anything), and lots of supporting documents because he was born to two American parents on a military base (not within the US). They were challenging HIS citizenship and eligibility, when their own nominee couldn’t pass the same criteria. Typical hypocrisy. I hate both parties; they are both selected by the same puppet masters to give us the illusion of choice to keep us from rioting. And you obviously fell for the ruse, buddyboy.

  8. WeMadeAmistake says:

    Obama’s birth certificate and records lie are less important than what has been actually demonstrated by Obama himself over the past two years. He has not kept a single promise he has made. Lobbyists….lie, open transparency….lie, 5 day vetting of bills by the public…..lie, taxes for only the top 5%…..lie. The list gets longer and so does President Narcissist’s nose. Jim will be standing in the bread line still defending the narcissist fascist president Obama. At the same time, President Narcissist will be feasting on his $100/lb. Kobe steaks with his ugly first lady joking about how stupid the honky’s were in believing his promises he made,…. so he could get elected.

  9. Kevin says:

    HAHAH

    “boarder hopper” is someone who rents out a room in their house and then makes the person lay on the floor so they can jump over them.

    I think Obama is doing an ok job. I don’t like his slow style in dealing with issues such as torture indictments or global warming or regulating banks or DADT or EPA or illegal domestic spying.. etc…

    But, I think he’ll get there. He seems to worry too much about bi-partisanship. I sometimes think its like a judo move to gain a leverage advantage. Other times I think he is just not progressive enough.

    Partisanship is when I eff you in the ass.

    Bipartisanship is when I let you give me a blowjob.

    • How is Obama’s support for illegal domestic spying a problem of him just having a “slow style”?

      • Wolfladyk says:

        He’s a LIAR plain and simple AND he is NOT natural born since he even admits he was a dual British-citizen at bith. Nothing else matters. The Supreme Court says both parents MUST BE U.S. citizens at BIRTH in order for someone to be “natural born,” not just a citizen. He was entitled to be a Senator IF he ever reinstated his American citizenship (no evidence of that either) but he wasw NEVER eligible to be President. As both a usurper AND a liar, doesn’t that both you Obots who think he walks on water? And I am NOT a right wing conservative. I actually supported this toad until he LIED and voted FOR the FISA bill. Then I did my homework and found him to be a liar and an ILLEGAL holder of the highest office in the land.

        I have always supported the Constitution, but NONE of the politicians do that anymore either! Do your homework!

        • Jim says:

          Who can find the holes in Wolfladyk’s argument? And who can identify the outright factual errors?

          If you’d done your homework, Wolfie, then you’d know we’re critics of Barack Obama. Substantive critics. We don’t base our criticism on crackpot theories based on incorrect suppositions and an utter lack of evidence. We base our criticism on what Barack Obama has actually done. That’s enough; why roll around in fiction?

    • jch555 says:

      Kevin: There was no torture. Only liberal politicians and the idiot press keep calling it that. There is not Global Warming also. It has been disproved now by many REAL Scientists (like thousands). The planet has been cooling for the last ten years and there is no problem with polar bears nor any ice problem in Iceland.

    I think that he will actually stop, at some point.

    He is so concerned with not overturning the status quo.

  11. They may be posting it on what you would refer to as right wing websites, but most of us know, this is garbage. So please don’t drag the responsible members of the conservatives into this.

  12. Alexander says:

    DAMMIT! Just show your birth certificate, even if it’s from the AKC, whic I suspect it is.

  13. Ray Burke says:

    So long as Obama continues to refuse to release subject records, his eligibility to hold office remains in question. It seems logical to conclude that “unknown” =
    “ineligible”.

  14. anonymous says:

    pretty pitiful…most obama’s supporters can’t even spell!!! that is pretty sad—just an example of our presidency and our wonderful government of today. what is this world coming to.

  15. Tom says:

    I just looked into getting a U.S. Passport and the requirement for ID states you must have a birth certificate with an “embossed, raised, stamped or multi colored seal” from the state of issuance. In other words, the “certification of live birth” Obama shows on the net would Not be acceptable even for a U.S. Passport application!!

    I once had to send away to Connecticut for my Birth Certificate. It cost me $10. at the time and it came in a week. It had the date, the time, my weight, my parents name, address and occupation. It had the Physician who attended listed by name.

    It came in a week and was beautifually embossed and stamped with the official state seal and signed by some official.

    So…why can’t Obama do the same thing??????

  16. jb says:

    #1 you people all need some spelling lessons.
    #2 Why would Barry want to make all of his info Public? He had to do all of that to become a candidate. Do you really think that there is hidden information that is so available and the first thing that would be examined by the courts? Hell, McCain’s camp would have found this in a heartbeat.
    #3 Most of you are lunatics and scare me. Forget terrorists, I afraid of the American right wing nuts.

  17. Jack Kennedy says:

    jim and jb – the Real Americans are afraid of you liberal terrorists and your illegal president and his reign of terror

    I love watching you fools try to defend the indefensible corrupt obama – this guy fights releasing his records and you liberal are hypocrites for defending his unAmerican actions

    But, then you probably approve of of his America hating speeches and actions when he goes to the muslim lands to see his relatives

    liberal hypocrites would not stand for the hiding of info by mccain or bush and your 8 years of LIBERAL VITRIOL AND HATE toward an American president is more proof of you treason toward America.

    take your faux prez and go to his homeland in africa and continue his reign of terror there.

    But, I will admit that it is entertaining watching you liberals trying to defend the nonAmerican obama

  18. Jack Kennedy says:

    jim and jb – in case you liberals dont have it figured out (as you use this to end all race debates that liberals are losing) obama has and will not be questioned by any of the white guilt for fear of the racism taut.

    mccain was not supported by conservatives because we knew that he would not confront and question obama as he was afraid of the racism taut

    obama and his stonewalling of his info is effective because the quota prez can get away with his intimidation of to many of white America

    but, unfortunately for you and your radical prez, this is quickly coming to an end and sooner or later the msm will have to finally capitulate and reveal the truth of obama incompetence

    even the press will get the point that the obama reign of terror will threaten them and their supposed integrity.

    LIBERAL HYPOCRITES – ENJOY YOUR LITTLE REIGN OF TERROR ON AMERICA – IT WONT LAST FOREVER !!!!

    • Jim says:

      What the hell is a racism taut? A man tightly wound by his presuppositions? That might be you, “Jack.” See,

      1. At Irregular Times, we’ve been criticizing Barack Obama on policy grounds since the day of his inauguration.
      2. Nobody’s ever, ever, ever called us racists for it.

      It might have to do with the fact that we don’t pepper our essays with phrases contrasting “we whites” with “that Obama.”

  19. Dean says:

    When Obama was running for president, I looked up his “Fight the Smears” website and downloaded the entire thing. Enlarging the “certificate of live birth,” I find that it was filled out on a form that would not be in existance for another 40 years! Enlarge the form, look at the lower left-hand corner, and you will see the form revision date “11-01.” The form in use up to 1968 was totally different. Time travel, anyone?

  20. Anonymous says:

    conservative = racist hypocrites
    where was all this scrutiny when g.w. and cronies were emptying the coffers for his business connections (many residing in saudi arabia)? when you all say obama is “not qualified”, rational people see you for the racists you truly are.

  21. truthseeker says:

    The dilemma continues because the records are sealed. Why? Hmmm? I would think by now a honest high integrity persons that worked in admissions back then who processed the application, the payments, the transcripts, and other records in various admin. departments would come forth and say I remember that student. This would be before any popularity of Barry S. is heightened.

    Secondly, if records from all the education experience Barry S. has applied for are mysteriously gone that in itself raises huge flags. Why? Because it lends itself to a much larger plot than the average citizen would connect. To that you say, another conspiracy theorist. NO not at all. It wasn’t that long ago a man in Germany named Hilter had a huge plan that ran it’s course before finally people of integrity said, “OH, MY GOSH! this plot is real.”

    The very first executive order obama signed hours (next day)after being sworn in is the records order. It revoked the 11/2001 law of transparency using the excuse as an issue of national security. I doubt seriously that college records threaten national security.
    This executive order list is public info from the white house read the list yourself.
    So, let’s not be to naive here regarding an unknown fulfilling the highest office of the land. And so far, the agenda has revealed some alarming trends.
    truthseeker

    • Jim says:

      Who is this Barry S. you speak of? Barry Sands? The California defense attorney? I agree, Sands’ record is rather spotty. You go ahead, you truthseeker! Expose the real truth about Barry Sands!

      • truthseeker says:

        Barry S. is aka Barak H.Obama. His name on the Indonesia school registration is Barry Sotero. That is confirmed.As his name (what students called him) in Occidental College in CALIF.
        So you see the questions raised are not some weird groupies with conspiracy theories. The weird part is McCain had to supply med records, birth cert., college transcripts, etc. Barak O. (Barry Sotero)did not produce one official document yet. Go ahead and do the research and see what you find. Absolutely no record or thesis at Harvard, no paperwork from Occidental college is available listing his student status, no student loans, no job and yet traveled internationally (including Paksitan)as a young man (who paid for it?) what passport did he use to re-enter the US?

  25. Amazed says:

    How many times do you morons need to be told? Hawaii disposed of paper records many years ago. A great many americans born in Hawaii no longer have their original birth certificate because they lost it and the paper record no longer exists. If you honestly believe Obama is an evil conspirator then you should also be asking that a large percentage of Hawaiians be detained/deported.

    A) All existing evidence suggests that Obama is indeed American, but it is all cooked up by a widespread group of conspirators that includes people across a variety of private and public organizations. Oh, and the birth announcements in Hawaiian newspapers by Hawaii’s Department of Health are also part of that conspiracy.
    B) Obama, like many Americans, lost the original copy of his birth certificate and had to go back to his birthplace to get whatever documentation they currently provide.

    I, for one, moved across the country a couple years ago and had to get a new copy of my birth certificate to transfer my driver’s license. Suppose my birth state had switched to electronic records and no longer had the original copy…would you call for me to be detained/deported? Don’t you realize that such a policy would make many millions of americans ineligible for public office?

  26. truthseeker says:

    Who is the moron? This quote is not altered,
    Directly contradicting CNN chief Jon Klein – who ordered host Lou Dobbs to quit discussing President Obama’s birth certificate – the Hawaii Department of Health affirmed that no paper birth certificates were destroyed when the department moved to electronic record-keeping.

    “I am not aware of any birth certificate records that have been destroyed by the department,” Janice Okubo, public information officer for the Hawaii DOH, told WND. “When the department went electronic in 2001, vital records, whether in paper form or any other form, [were] maintained. We don’t destroy records.”

    Okubo affirmed that beginning in 2001, all vital records, including birth records, moved to electronic formats.

    “Any records that we had in paper or any other form before 2001 are still in file within the department,” she insisted. “We have not destroyed any vital statistics records that we have.

    SO, from the vary dept. you say doesn’t have the original they say they do. Is it any wonder there is confusion. A $12 fee to release it would solve the big concern but no obama is now over $1 million in legal fees blocking access to this and all school records. Gee, that sounds economical in our tough times these days.

  30. DaninMI says:

    You people are whackjobs. You are so desperate to not accept that a black man is now president that you are willing to believe any whacko theory that is presented you.

    This one has been pretty thoroughly debunked.

    Earlier versions of this email quote “Americans for Freedom of Information,” Not the “Coalition for Freedom of information.”

    Anything that quotes the group “Americans for Freedom of Information” is a hoax.
    “Americans for Freedom of Information” does not exist.
    There is even a website dedicated to poking fun at people that believe “Americans for Freedom of Information” is a real organization. http://amfoi.wordpress.com/2009/07/02/another-chump-walks-with-whisper/

    According to Jim Tranquada, Occidental’s Director of Communications, “Contemporary public documents, such as the 1979-80 freshman ‘Lookbook’ published at the beginning of President Obama’s first year at Occidental, list him as Barack Obama.”

    Searches of newspaper archives and electronic news databases shown that neither Britain’s Daily Mail nor any other major UK newspaper published a front-page article entitled “Obama Eligibility Questioned” in 2009, nor did any such newspaper published an article consisting of the text reproduced above. (It is really easy to do this.)

    Barack Obama’s eligibility for the presidency was denied a hearing by the Supreme Court of New Jersey back in December 2008. It has not been taken up by the U.S. Supreme Court, as this hoax claims.

    C’mon I don’t understand why you conservative nutjobs aren’t mad at the people that make this stuff up for making you look stupid.

    It is common sense,for any one with at least a little intelligence to know that,People that cover up something are not hideing lies. When you cover up something, it is for certain the truths that you hide.So in conclusion, What truth is obama hideing? Especially, after spending millions to do so. It must be a pretty good truth.And when the world finds out that truth, It will damn sure set Obama free!!!!!
    To DaninMI: Youe are deffinately one of the less intelligent that I am talking about.

    • Jim says:

      “What in truth is obama hideing?”

      Yes, indeed, what?

      * There’s no documentary evidence whatsoever that Barack Obama has spent millions to hide his birth certificate.
      * The state of Hawaii has released the same form of the certified birth certificate that it releases when anybody asks. It has officially certified the existence of the original. The Republican head of the Hawaii Department of Health has specifically affirmed it.

      So, what, in truth, is Obama hiding? In regards to his birth, he doesn’t appear to be hiding anything.

  32. Phnxgrl says:

    These discussions are fascinating. The birth announcement in the Local Hawaiian papers have been shown to be a fraud. No Obama has ever lived at the address listed. And to list the where about of Ann Dunham, Barry’s mother, in two weeks after giving birth she is listed as a student in WA. Normally would there not be recuperating time? But yet she has moved from Hawaii to WA in a very weak condition. This mystery is becoming more and more strange.

    • Jim says:

      Phnxgrl,

      Yes, these discussions are VERY interesting. Your contentions are so interesting that I can’t help but participate. Here’s my part of it: hey, could you link to any conclusive documentation of your claim? My guess is that you won’t because you can’t. But hey, if you’re right you will be famous for blowing open a conspiracy that begins in the year of a president’s birth! Holy Mackinole!

  33. ET says:

    Listen up folks… The FACT that Soetoro has usurped the presidency while committing fraud against the people…while fighting tooth and nail to prevent the people from seeing his past, while the government and media are enabling his fraud, simply shows that a coup has taken place in this once great republic. However, the state of this nation is much worse that we perceive. The people are undone by their elected leaders who sold them out long ago. It matters not though since the “GOD” in heaven has weighed the tyrannical evil in the scales and has determind to free the people…his children…by installing a heavenly government to replace the evil human Satan led powers that are crushing all humanity. Maybe you have prayed for this to occur when you recited the prayer that asks: “…let your KINGDOM come, let your will be done, ON EARTH, as it is in heaven…” . This will be fullfilled when Revelation 21; verses three and four come to pass: “3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Yes folks, these things will occur “ON EARTH” as God’s KINGDOM comes “TO EARTH”..to rule over earth as God’s tent is with mankind! Satan has control over the earth presently which is why the powers are so evil. The days of Satan’s rule are at an end and very shortly the armies from heaven will arrive to rescue us from the evil forces.

    It’s all really very simple…show the goods and all the bad conservatives will go away. Really…seriously! Despite the excuses, it HAS been proven that BO has spent upwards to 1 mil in legal fees to hide his docs. Why? Transparency my a$z! People have questions. BO is an elected official. He has an obligation. Snubbing his nose at those who want to know is unacceptable! It appears to me that his supporters have been duped. Ya know…it’s kinda like when you wanted to buy that really cool thing. And your entire family and all your friends told you that you were stupid for even considering it. But no, you had to do it anyway. And when the UPS dude delivered it, you realized you had just purchased a huge, gigantic baked turd. And when all your friends laughed and made fun of you, you defended your purchase nevertheless. You defended your decision because you couldn’t muster up the peanuts to admit that you SCREWED UP!! And that you should have listened to some common sense. And that you made one HUGE-az$ed mistake. And so are today’s Democrats. It really is pathetic after all!

      You will not hear from me that Obama’s policies aren’t disappointments. But you’re leaving out John McCain and Sarah Palin, who would have done far worse.

      As for your claim that it’s been proved that Obama spent a million bucks on legal fees to cover up a “real” birth certificate? Proven? Really? Fine. Show me a link to the primary source document proving this.

      I won’t get that from you because no such document exists. There is no such proof. You’re either a liar or a dupe.

    There are a lot of interesting articles online about Hawaiian birth certificates (that there were different forms with differing information, and children born out of state could use another form to register in Hawaii, but it produces the same kind of short form). I don’t know how many of those articles are factual, and how many are just around to wind people up.

    What I do know is that someone should be responsible for making sure that the candidates for office are eligible for the office before they’re put on the ballot (whether it be the Supreme Court, or a politically balanced group of Representatives/Senators, or something like the CBO, that’s non-partisan). Several states had unqualified individuals on the ballot for president last round. There should be some sort of legal process to get on the ballot, including verification of all requirements, regardless of which party sponsors the candidate. And there should be a ruling on citizenship status specifically on Natural Born Citizen status. It’s in the Constitution, but it’s not defined by the Constitution, or the Supreme Court. If “Natural Born” means born to two US Citizens, then it should say so somewhere. If it just means someone who is not a naturalized citizen, then it should say that, too. It’s wrong that this issue was allowed to polarize the nation. The Supreme Court should have settled “Natural Born” thing once and for all.

    This is a message for JIM. Stop wasting your breath trying to deny these claims. This has all blown over and they have moved on to other ridiculous and factless ways to distract our politicians from actually doing what we our taxes pay them to do. Maybe Obama IS a foreign national who has fooled us all and usurped the Presidency so he can destroy our country. Doesn’t matter to me. I dont see how that could be any worse than the last 8 years or the prospect of a Palin Administration. At least the Bush Administration embodied the true spirit of bi-partisanism by working collectively with Iraqis and Afghanis to destroy all three of our nations. For all of you xenophobes worried about the threat posed by foreign terrorists, take a long hard look back at the last decade and even the evidence here in this blog of our countries mentality change and then ask yourself who has done more damage to this country: Bin Laden or Bush?

    “For people who feel deep down in their gut that this uppity black man with an Arabic-sounding (but actually African) last name cannot possibly be a “real American,” falsehood rings more truly than the truth itself”.

    Well why don’t you enlighten all us poor dumb rubes. While your at it, describe [to your best ability] why we should NOT question eligibility in the face of such extravagant efforts to conceal the facts. Congressional hearings were conducted to discuss the eligibility of John McCain. Why not for Obama?

    • Jim says:

      WHAT extravagant efforts to conceal the facts?

      Name these “extravagant efforts” and document their existence outside your own mind.

    its funny to me how some conservatives can beleive anything negative about anyone on the other side while denying the very wrongs some in their own party have commited, ever happened.

what are you thinking?
