Time 2 Escape Daily for Saturday, Dec 31, 2011

In this exciting and excellent issue of Time 2 Escape Daily, you will read (assuming you actually click on the links and read the stories and commentaries!) some great stuff, including the profound words of Henry Lamb:

Freedom cannot exist in Obama's vision of a managed market and a managed society. Every citizen must decide whether this nation will yield to Obama's vision, or return to the framer's vision of a government that exists for the purpose of protecting every citizen's right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness – as defined by every individual – not by the national government.

Hey, that's just a taste of what you will get to read today, or whenever you are up to it. I know, tonight is the last day of the year, typically called New Years Eve. So, when you're able to read text on your monitor without your headache becoming even more severe, you'll want to check this out.

I hope that your expectations weren't overly magnified by using the word "Daily" in the title of these latest posts. The truth is, in the case of this blog, "Daily" is not equivalent to "every day." I'm going to do my best to keep this blog active by posting as often as possible, but I guarantee that I'll be taking Sundays off, and maybe another day during the week. And then there will be those occasions when I'm not able to do any posting for an extended time for various reasons. I do not have a staff to fill in for me when I am "absent." But trust me, when I know that I'll not be able to do any posting, I'll announce it.

But I digress. I think that you will find what Patrice Lewis writes in her latest and last column of the year to be a bit of good advice for all of us to think about on this New Year's Eve:

As we head into the New Year, perhaps it's time to stop making unfulfillable resolutions and decide instead to take a simple course of action: Fill the year with good, sound choices and decisions.

Let's make our elders proud of us. Let's make ourselves proud as well. Happy New Year.

I'm just sayin' ...

Obama aide blasts Romney's son for eligibility comment
Democrat campaign levels accusation of 'pandering to dead-enders'
From WND ~ December 31, 2011 ~ 12:30 am Eastern ~ By Bob Unruh

Matt Romney, whose father, Mitt, is vying for commitments from Iowa GOP caucus voters this weekend, said his dad would release his financial records when President Obama "releases his grades and birth certificate."

The younger Romney later insisted he was joking, but Barack Obama, in Hawaii now on a vacation estimated to set the taxpayers back some $4 million, saw it as an opportunity to cash in for his campaign. His 2012 fundraising machine immediately posted online: "The Birth Certificate Thing Again?"

"Matt Romney says his dad Mitt will release his tax returns 'as soon as' President Obama releases his birth certificate," the campaign fundraising pitch by "Grant," said today. "This is how the Romney campaign thinks it's going to win the Republican primary: by pandering to the dead-ender fringe of extremists who still question where the president was born."

Unindicted terror 'co-conspirator' gets blog closed down
Islam advocates call critic 'anti-Muslim hate site'
From WND ~ December 30, 2011 ~ 8:28 pm Eastern

The Council on America-Islamic Relations, which is considered by U.S. counterterrorism officials as a front group for the Egypt-based Muslim Brotherhood and was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror finance case, says it has succeeded in silencing a blog where some of the comments cited a desire for violence against Muslims.

According to a statement released by CAIR on PR Newswire, its complaints led WordPress.com to close down the BareNakedIslam.com blog.

In fact, site visitors today were presented with the message, "barenakedilsam.wordpress.com is no longer available. This blog has been archived or suspended for a violation of our Terms of Service."

Romney Brings in Christie in Iowa Final Push
From Newsmax.com ~ Friday, 30 Dec 2011 04:45 PM

DES MOINES, Iowa - White House hopeful Mitt Romney brought in help from New Jersey on Friday to bolster his prospects for a win in Iowa next week that would put him in the lead in the Republican presidential race.

Gov. Chris Christy (R-NJ)

Romney campaigned alongside tough-talking New Jersey Governor Chris Christie in a final frenzy of candidate appearances before Iowa launches the state-by-state contests to choose the Republican nominee who will face Democratic President Barack Obama in the November 2012 election.

Romney, buoyed by an NBC/Marist poll that showed him leading the field ahead of Tuesday's Iowa caucuses, was upbeat about his chances in the Midwestern state that jilted him for former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee in 2008.

"This feels wonderful," Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, told Reuters as he worked a ropeline of supporters outside a grocery store in West Des Moines. "I tell you, the crowds and the enthusiasm couldn't be more wonderful."

The defining moment in the future of America ~ By Henry Lamb
From WND - December 30, 2011 at 5:17 pm Eastern

HENRY LAMB

Jan. 1, 2012, is the first day of the last year of the first term of the most "transformative" president in the history of the United States. Before he became president, Barack Hussein Obama told America that "… we are five days away from fundamentally transforming America." During the first three years of his presidency, he has pushed his philosophy of governance further and further away from the philosophy of governance developed by the framers and enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. The defining moment in the future of the United States will come on Nov. 6, 2012, when each citizen casts – or fails to cast – a vote for the next president, and for the legislators who will guide the nation.

Advice from the elders ~ By Patrice Lewis
From WND - December 30, 2011 at 1:49 pm Eastern

PATRICE LEWIS

This week I saw an article entitled "Six Tips From Your Future Self" by Dr. Karl Pillemer. The premise was that if you could meet your older and (presumably) wiser self (say, 50 years from now) and ask for advice, what would it be? Since clearly such a scenario is impossible, Dr. Pillemer did the next best thing: He canvassed 1,200 older Americans (ranging from 60 to 108 years) and asked what advice they would give the younger generation. Specifically they were asked, "What mistakes should younger people avoid?" and what are people "most likely to regret when they get to the end of life?"

What I liked about this article was its logic and good sense. For heaven's sake, if anyone has been-there-done-that, it's the older generation. Yet in keeping with human nature, the younger people in our society continue to dismiss the older generation as a bunch of fuddy-duddies who can't possibly have any knowledge or insight about today's issues, problems and woes.

Right.

National mag publishes fabricated report attacking Corsi book

The Esquire "report":

The Esquire report, written by Mark Warren, the executive editor, called it a "stunning development" that "Where's the Birth Certificate? The Case that Barack Obama is not Eligible to be President" was being recalled amid plans to "pulp the entire 200,000 first printing run of the book, as well as announcing an offer to refund the purchase price to anyone who has already bought either a hard copy or electronic download of the book."

Farah said the Esquire attack is "a prima facie example of libel and attempt at restraint of trade."

"This is an astonishingly reckless report by a company that has demonstrated its total disregard for the truth," said Farah. "I don't know who Esquire's anonymous sources are, but I can only guess that their address is 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue."

While I am not an attorney, nor do I play one on TV, I am thinking that Joseph Farah, the publisher, and Jerome Corsi, the author, have a pretty solid case against Esquire for libel with the intent of interfering with their business. I would want to think that the editors at Esquire would be smarter than that, but apparently they aren't very bright at all.

Later, after the "news report" had circulated widely and generated widespread misinformation, the magazine added an "Update" in the form of a note at the bottom of the story, explaining it had "committed satire."

The addition of the "Update" long after the story had been been widely circulated would seem to indicate that there was a clear intention to damage the sales of the book.

And what does this say about Esquire, and by extension, most of the establishment media?

WND Managing Editor David Kupelian added, "I really didn't think the establishment media could possibly sink any lower than it already has in recent years. This is a new low – a malicious fabrication from top to bottom, designed solely to defame a best-selling book, its author and publisher."

National mag publishes fabricated report attacking Corsi book

Esquire claims best-seller being disavowed by publisher, 'pulled from shelves'

May 18, 2011 ~ 11:52 am Eastern

© 2011 WorldNetDaily

A major national publication that endorsed Barack Obama for president in 2008 today published a completely fabricated news story claiming Jerome Corsi's new best-selling "Where's the Birth Certificate," published by WND Books, has been disavowed by the publisher and taken out of stores nationwide, with refunds offered to purchasers.

Esquire, established in 1932, alleged on its website today under a "BREAKING" headline that Corsi's book was "pulled from shelves!"

Media are calling WND from around the world about the false report.

Joseph Farah

WND founder and CEO Joseph Farah confirmed he never spoke to Esquire.

"Never uttered these words or anything remotely resembling them to anyone," he said. "It is a complete fabrication."

Farah said, "The book is selling briskly. I am 100 percent behind it. This has all the earmarkings of a White House dirty trick – but, of course, only the Nixon administration was capable of dirty tricks like that, according to our watchdog media."

Guess what prompted Obama to release birth certificate!

But the timing raised questions from the Post.

"Why, for example, did Obama officials wait so long to tamp down rumors that have dogged the president since the 2008 presidential campaign? Why did they release the forms on the very day that Trump is making his first visit to New Hampshire, and during a week when Obama is slated to make other major announcements about his national security team?" the newspaper wrote.

While the White House denied any connection, the sequence reveals that following weeks of discussions by Trump, on April 20 "Where's the Birth Certificate? The Case That Barack Obama Is Not Eligible to Be President" skyrocketed to the No. 1 spot among all books on Amazon.com, the next day Corley was authorized to find the document and on April 22 Obama signed a letter to state officials making the formal request for help.

Dan Pfeiffer, White House communications director, said the administration considered the issue closed.

First, it was The Donald (Donald Trump) that started getting media attention by requesting the President to show his long-form birth certificate. That went on for just about a month, and the President did nothing. The Donald has now been claiming that he is responsible for getting the President to do something, like showing the birth certificate. REALLY?  NO! I don't think so!

I think this story at WND.com is much more accurate than Donald Trump's pumped up ego trying to take the credit. Since Donald was on "The View," it had been around a month. But, when the Drudge Report mentioned the book, "Where's the Birth Certificate? The Case That Barack Obama Is Not Eligible to Be President," and it went to #1 of ALL books at Amazon, in less than a week later, Barack Obama is releasing that long-lost long-form birth certificate from the State of Hawaii (you know, the one that even Hawaii's Gov. Neal Abercrombie couldn't locate). I'm just sayin'...

Guess what prompted Obama to release birth certificate!

Request to Hawaii came day after Corsi book hit No. 1

April 29, 2011 ~ 8:57 pm Eastern

© 2011 WorldNetDaily

WASHINGTON – Barack Obama finally has released his long-form birth certificate from Hawaii, and a Washington Post report today explains how the decision came about because of the president's distress that questions about his eligibility were dominating news cycles and his important messages were getting no traction.

So it happened on April 21, White House Counsel Robert Bauer told Anne Kornblut at the Post, that he asked Obama's outside counsel, Judy Corley of Perkins Coie, to contact the Hawaii Department of Health to find out what would be needed to get the copies of the birth certificate.

That, of course, was less than a full day after the definitive book on presidential eligibility, "Where's the Birth Certificate? The Case That Barack Obama Is Not Eligible to Be President," was featured on the Drudge Report and rocketed to No. 1 on Amazon – weeks before it even is due to the published.

The in-depth investigation of Obama is by two-time No. 1 New York Times best-selling author Jerome Corsi, and the Drudge Report declared, "The street date is a LONG month away, and author Jerome Corsi, the man who torpedoed John Kerry's presidential dreams with SWIFT BOAT, has gone underground and is holding his new findings this close."

Drudge wondered then whether the president's attorneys will "attempt to interfere with the book's distribution?" and whether the book will "finally – once and for all – put an end to the growing controversy?"

The Post reported the president's concerns had been raised when he was interviewed by ABC's George Stephanopoulos – and he expected a discussion of financial issues.

Instead, he was peppered with questions about his eligibility controversy – an issue that possible 2012 GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump had elevated from being a topic of strong interest across America to the mainstream issue of the 2012 race.

Trump had consulted repeatedly with researchers assembled by WND to investigate the Obama eligibility issue in his campaign.

The Post reported that suddenly there was a "growing sense within the White House that the mainstream media was perpetuating a dangerous myth."

Obama, described by the Post as "incredulous," was warned that the questions might even rise to confront him. So it was on April 19, the newspaper said, Obama asked about getting a copy of his form.

"'It wasn't one specific thing' that tipped the scales, a senior administration official said. But Trump was a major factor, by the White House's own admission, as the real estate mogul's near-constant interviews extended a discussion that the president found 'frivolous,'" the newspaper said.

Suddenly, Obama was the driving force behind getting the documentation.

Rocket to No. 1! Drudge ponders 'Obama's true identity'

Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND and WND Books, the publisher of the book, declared, "Potentially, I believe this book is the political endgame for Barack Obama."

"I don't see how he can be re-elected with hard questions and new evidence of his ineligibility raised by the book. It's a game-changer – and the news media blackout on this issue has now turned into a media feeding frenzy to cover their negligent rear ends."

At Alexa, the Internet information company, "Where's the Birth Certificate?" was rated today as the hottest product.

"Products that people are coveting right now ... 1. Where's the Birth Certificate?" the site said.

The site also listed at No. 2 among "Hot Pages," the Drudge reference to "Book to Reveal Obama's True Identity?"

Between now and May 17, when the book officially debuts, video ad spots are promoting "Where's the Birth Certificate?"

Corsi Long Spot McCain Eligibility

Just as I was reading this column this morning, Jerome Corsi came on Coast to Coast A.M. to talk to George Noory. The main topic was going to be about a big story concerning the abiotic oil theory, but because of this story about his book being featured on Drudge, and then the Rush Limbaugh mention, George and Jerome briefly discussed the Obama birth certificate story and how it has taken off since Donald Trump had brought it up.

We may as well just face it, the Obama birth certificate controversy is not going to die out like Obama and his mainstream media friends wanted it to. It is no longer going to stay buried.

As you read in the excerpt at the top of this page, Joseph Farah had stated, "I don't see how he can be re-elected with hard questions and new evidence of his ineligibility raised by the book." But I am wondering if re-election would be the only problem facing Obama after the book is released. As stated on the Drudge Report:

Will the book finally -- once and for all -- put an end to the growing controversy?

Or will it just ignite new ones!?

Could a new controversy be whether or not Barack Obama should resign from office if startling evidence is exposed, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that Obama is not eligible to be President? What would those in the mainstream media or the ladies on "The View" do if that was the case, after all this time of denigrating WND, Donald Trump, and anyone who asked, "Where is the Birth Certificate?" I'm just sayin'...

Rocket to No. 1! Drudge ponders 'Obama's true identity'

Definitive book on presidential eligibility hits top spot on Amazon

April 20, 2011 ~ 10:52 pm Eastern

© 2011 WorldNetDaily

It only took a matter of hours, but once it was featured on the Drudge Report today, the definitive book on presidential eligibility, "Where's the Birth Certificate? The Case That Barack Obama Is Not Eligible to Be President" skyrocketed to the No. 1 spot among all books on Amazon.com.

The top ranking comes weeks before the official release date of May 17 for the in-depth investigation by two-time No. 1 New York Times best-selling author Jerome Corsi.

The Drudge Report declared, "The street date is a LONG month away, and author Jerome Corsi, the man who torpedoed John Kerry's presidential dreams with SWIFT BOAT, has gone underground and is holding his new findings this close.

"'It's utterly devastating,' reveals a source close to the publisher. 'Obama may learn things he didn't even know about himself!'" Drudge said.

Drudge wondered whether the president's attorneys will "attempt to interfere with the book's distribution?" and whether the book will "finally – once and for all – put an end to the growing controversy?"

The image of the book was seen on Rush Limbaugh's personal computer today as he broadcast his top-rated radio program from his Florida studio.

Jerome Corsi's "Where's the Birth Certificate?" book can be partially seen featured on the Drudge Report on Rush Limbaugh's computer as he broadcast his radio show from South Florida Wednesday, April 20, 2011.

"The book results from three years of continuing research," Corsi said today. "I traveled to Kenya and to Hawaii. I have hired private investigators and had the help of inside sources in Kenya, Indonesia and Hawaii. The book will contain startling new information, and the release of the book will be orchestrated through WND with documents the public has never seen before."

Interest in the controversy has accelerated in recent months. There was Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie's famous pledge to find Barack Obama's birth certificate and make it public to shut up the so-called "birthers."

The governor's quest raised national interest in the issue – especially when he failed to produce the promised documentation. Members of Congress have raised similar questions about Obama's eligibility, and state lawmakers are considering plans to require documentation from presidential candidates.

Then came Trump out of the blue, asking questions WND's newsroom team has been asking for the last two and a half years, raising the national debate to furious new heights.

Now another shoe is ready to drop.

Game-changer: The next eligibility shoe to drop

"If you agree with me that this charade by Obama has gone on much too long, I urge you to get behind our efforts in any way you can," says Farah. "Help spread these videos across the Internet, using your Facebook pages, emails and other social networking tools. . . ."

Farah concludes, "Watch the videos. Watch the calendar. And watch the Obama re-election campaign squirm."

Video provided by WheresTheBirthCertif on Apr 10, 2011

It sounds like a book that could be pretty ominous according to the hype on WND: "And now another shoe is ready to drop with a very loud thud that promises to raise the level and intensity of the national controversy beyond anything the public has seen before."

I am looking forward to reading this book. I have my order in. Did Jerome Corsi find some new evidence that Barack Hussein Obama is not eligible to be occupying the Oval Office? Or, is this a brilliant marketing campaign that convinced me to purchase the book (in advance)? I guess that I'll be finding out in about a month when I receive my copy. And yes, as soon as I read it, I'll post a review for you.

Allow me to address a question that is sure to surface. Am I plugging the soon-to-be released book by Jerome Corsi? Of course! But, no, I don't receive any compensation. My only motivation is to make sure that the truth gets out as much as possible.

But as much as I'd love to see Obama proven to be a fraud, I'd be the first person to admit it if I don't find significant and solid evidence contained in Corsi's new book. However, I do not believe that will be the case. 

And maybe the best part of this book is that it will create jobs! It will be keeping the people at FactCheck.org very busy for a long time. No, they won't be doing research.  They will stay busy by trying to figure out ways to spin what Jerome Corsi has discovered. I'm just sayin'...

Jerome Corsi's 'Where's the Birth Certificate?' book breaking sales records

April 10, 2011 ~ 9:24 pm Eastern

WASHINGTON – First there was Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie's famous pledge to find Barack Obama's birth certificate and make it public to shut up the so-called "birthers."

That raised national interest in the controversy – especially when he failed to produce it.

Then came Donald Trump out of the blue, asking questions WND's newsroom team has been asking for the last two-and-a-half years.

That raised the national debate to furious new heights.

It is the release of "Where's the Birth Certificate? The Case That Barack Obama Is Not Eligible to Be President" by two-time No. 1 New York Times best-selling author Jerome Corsi – a book that is, more than a month prior to release, setting records for advance sales.

"Potentially, I believe this book is the political endgame for Barack Obama," says Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND and WND Books, the publisher of the title. "I don't see how he can be re-elected with hard questions and new evidence of his ineligibility raised by the book.

Trump speaks the unspeakable ~ By Robert Ringer

What a great novel all this would make … though it would have to be toned down quite a bit for it to be more believable to discerning readers. In the meantime, I hope Donald Trump presses forward and uses his considerable clout to force into the open what could be the biggest political scandal in the history of this country.

In the column I posted yesterday, I mentioned that we "can thank Donald Trump for ramping up the attention the story is receiving now."  In this column, Robert Ringer would seem to be agreeing with my assessment. Robert wrote: "I find it so refreshing that someone of Donald Trump's stature had the courage to come forward and demand that Barack Obama produce his birth certificate."

Back on March 31, I wrote, "Now that Donald Trump has stepped into the mix, mostly beginning with his appearance on 'The View,' it is a whole new ball game." And here's the thing: Donald Trump apparently has a quick learning curve.  He has taken the time to learn about the available information (because of WND's extensive research? Ya think?), and he has the courage to ask that question about the birth certificate. And that is even with the possibility that Donald is going to run for President!

So, we now have something very interesting to consider. Trump's question about the Obama eligibility proof has not - I repeat - HAS NOT hurt him in the straw polls for being the next GOP candidate for President. I mean, is that weird, or what? Can you believe it? Why wasn't Donald ridiculed into oblivion after stating his opinion on shows such as "The View"? Oh, he received the ridicule, but for some reason, this time, it didn't seem to stick.

Because of Donald Trump, Obama's eligibility issue is no longer "unspeakable" amongst the "elite" class. I am hoping that people in the media will actually try to do some research, and discover why there is this anomaly in politics. But here is a clue for the liberal media that should now be embarrassed that they weren't paying attention because of their bias: Guess who the American public pays more attention to? Donald Trump, or you? And the irony is, the liberal media helped Donald Trump be who he is in public notoriety!

Congratulations, liberals! You've been "Trumped"! I'm just sayin'....

Trump speaks the unspeakable

ROBERT RINGER

By Robert Ringer

© 2011

I've long wondered if Republicans can field a candidate who has the courage to ignore the unwritten rule that it's politically incorrect to speak the truth about America's current make-believe president.

When George Bush graciously turned over the White House keys to the mysterious man with the mysterious background, few realized he was handing America's top secrets to the enemies from within. But given the swiftness with which Obama began implementing his collectivist, anti-America agenda, it didn't take long for millions of voters to wake up. Sadly, however, many more millions still choose to ignore his anti-American words and actions and write off those who oppose him as racists or right-wing radicals.

Which is why I find it so refreshing that someone of Donald Trump's stature had the courage to come forward and demand that Barack Obama produce his birth certificate. Notwithstanding all the evidence that has been presented by Jerome Corsi and others who have been on top of this issue since long before Obama was elected, the left has succeeded in silencing anyone who has dared broach the subject by writing them off as conspiracy nuts.

And BHO himself has displayed incredible chutzpah when pressed on the subject, on one occasion even wisecracking to Brian Williams, "I can't spend all my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead." Nice Alinsky-like diversionary tactic, Barack, but it's not working so well anymore. In fact, even the master of the tingled leg, Chris Matthews, is suggesting that you put to bed all this ridiculous talk about your not being a citizen by simply producing your birth certificate. What a novel idea.

That Obama apparently does not have an authentic U.S. birth certificate is becoming increasingly evident. If he did have such a document, he would have to be an arrogant fool not to put it on public display to shut up all those crazy birthers. Arrogant, yes. But fool … I don't think so.

Bill O'Reilly has long snickered at anyone who broached the birther subject, always insisting that his staff had "already checked it out." But when Trump recently pressed him on the issue, O'Reilly said that what his people had found was a birth announcement in two Hawaii newspapers. Tell you what, Bill. If you'd like an announcement of some kind put in any newspaper in the country, just pay me a hundred bucks and I'll be happy to do it for you – quickly and easily.

I don't claim to have done any serious investigation on this subject, but, based on Obama's own refusal to make his birth certificate available to at least (all) members of the press, I have no choice but to assume that he was not born in this country. Kind of a familiar theme, since he also had all of his records sealed at Columbia (where no one from his class seems to have any recollection of him) and Harvard.

But let's not get hung up on a little thing like where Obama was born. It's just that I have this gnawing piece of advice stuck in the back of my mind: "Trust, but verify."

Whatever his place of birth, the one thing that is clear are Obama's own words and actions throughout the part of his career that is actually documented. It's time to start talking openly about the guy who vowed to fundamentally change the United States of America and stop pretending as though he's just another moderate liberal who's "not up to the task" of governing.

Barack Obama's missing year ~ By Jack Cashill

"Like a tourist, I watched the range of human possibility on display," writes Obama of those years, "trying to trace out my future in the lives of the people I saw, looking for some opening through which I could re-enter."

Re-enter what? This seems more the reflection of a soon to be ex-fugitive than that of a metro-sexual happily browsing the Met. Ayers, by the way, uses the phrase "human possibility" twice in his memoir, "Fugitive Days."

Not surprisingly, Boerner has chosen not to return my phone call. As I said on his voice mail, all I wanted to do was clarify whether Obama actually attended class his first year in New York.

You would think we would know this by now.

Now, it isn't like this column by Jack Cashill will prove or help to determine that Obama isn't constitutionally eligible to be President of the United States. But, be aware that you don't want to mistake a sign post for the destination. It's a case where discrepancies in Barack Obama's own testimony regarding his life in "Dreams From My Father" are coming to light, and the apparent inconsistencies, if you should really care, fuel the fires of interest.

In the video shown below in the column, it starts with a picture of Obama sitting with his grandparents in a park in New York. The author of the video contends that the picture was photoshopped (graphic editing) in order to show Obama with his grandparents, but that Obama was added in to a photo with just his grandparents. Some of the writers of comments for the youtube video, however, contend that the 2nd photo, with just the grandparents, was the not the original, and that Obama was photoshopped out of the scene. I can only say one of the photos has been photoshopped, and that is pretty obvious. But, does it really matter which is the original? When you do not know for sure if evidence is solid proof in a court of law, it does add reasonable doubt for either side of a case.

As I said, though, what Jack Cashill wrote about is only a sign post. Of course, the final destination is knowing whether or not the President should be constitutionally qualified to be President or not. And, please notice, I have not ever said that the President was born anywhere else that would disqualify him as a "natural born citizen." As a matter of fact, I've only done my best to provide the full chain of evidence to the best of my abilities, in order for YOU to be the jury, and really, the jury of We the People. I think it is important that you are aware that there is even a question, because that should not have ever happened in the first place if we want to preserve the Constitution of the United States.

It seems to be very wrong, that for whatever reason, the President continues to spend vast sums of money - in the millions - in order to BLOCK us from ever knowing incontrovertible truth. And I believe that anyone that has been trying to learn about, and then keep up with this issue, would have to wonder what the motive for withholding information that could have resolved this long ago. I think Donald Trump is saying the same thing. The real question should be, "Why?" I'm just sayin'...

Barack Obama's missing year

In his definitive 2010 biography of Barack Obama, "The Bridge," New Yorker editor David Remnick features a photograph of a dapper young Barack Obama sitting between his grandparents on a Central Park bench.

The bench is real. The grandparents are real. The wall behind them is real. Barack Obama is not. He has been conspicuously photoshopped in. Who did this and why remains as much a mystery as Obama's extended stay in New York.

In late October 2007, the New York Times ran a telling article on Barack Obama headlined, "Obama's Account of New York Years Often Differs From What Others Say."

Given that he was an announced candidate for president, and an underdog at that, the Times expected Obama to welcome the chance to reconcile his account in his memoir, "Dreams from My Father," with the accounts of those who knew him.

"Yet," lamented the newly neutered Times, "he declined repeated requests to talk about his New York years, release his Columbia transcript or identify even a single fellow student, co-worker, roommate or friend from those years."

A campaign spokesman, Ben LaBolt, offered a painfully lame explanation for Obama's reticence, "He doesn't remember the names of a lot of people in his life."

Lame or not, it worked, and it continues to work on a media that have spent more time in the dumpsters of Wasilla than they have investigating the preposterously unknown history of the world's best-known man.

When the media leave holes in a given narrative – in this case, the biography of a presidential candidate – bloggers individually, incrementally and indefatigably strive to fill them in, usually with mixed results.

One hole that remains strangely unfilled in that narrative is the academic year 1981-1982, a year Obama was reportedly a student at Columbia University.

The irrepressible researcher Orly Taitz secured a document through the National Student Clearinghouse on Obama's Columbia attendance.

The document confirms Obama's graduation from Columbia with a political science degree in 1983, but it places him there only in the 1982-1983 academic year.

"As there is no record of Obama residing anywhere else in the United States from September 1981-September 1982, or attending any other university," Taitz infers, "by way of simple deduction it becomes clear that his visit to Pakistan lasted not a month or two, as he claims, but over a year."

Obama's deceptions and studied opaqueness invite such speculation, but Taitz is likely unaware of competing evidence. How valid that evidence is remains to be seen.

Going back, Occidental friend John Drew confirms seeing Obama at a party in Los Angeles in June 1981. "At that time," says Drew, "the future president was a doctrinaire Marxist revolutionary, although perhaps – for the first time – considering conventional politics as a more practical road to socialism."

In "Dreams," Obama gives no account of the following summer. He moves from Los Angeles to New York in August and allegedly lands roughly. No one was present at his Spanish Harlem sublease when he arrives, and Obama sleeps in an alleyway.

Desperate, Obama calls "Sadik," a Pakistani and his one friend in the city, who just happens to be a coke-head and an illegal alien.

When Obama gives up his apartment because of a lack of heat, he and Sadik – in real life, Sohale Siddiqi – move in together, the date unspecified.

Given that "Dreams" proposes to tell the story of Obama's coming to grips with the world around him, his failure to mention a trip to Pakistan that summer raises eyebrows. Nor did Obama mention it in his 2006 book, "Audacity of Hope."

By contrast, Obama devotes considerable attention to an alleged trip to Europe a few years later, his flimsy account of which seems to have been pulled from a Michelin Guide.

In fact, it was not until April 2008 at a San Francisco fundraiser that Obama casually let it be known that he had traveled to Pakistan at all, an admission that took his own spokesman by surprise.

Another presidential hopeful wants Obama eligibility proof

[Cain] earlier leveled another type of criticism against Obama.

He said Barack Obama's long list of incidents in which he disregards America's Christian heritage may be intentional.



"I have been able to get the pulse of the American people of not only what's in their head but what's in their heart," Cain told CBN News Correspondent David Brody in an interview. "What's in their heart is they love this country. They love the values upon which this country was founded, and they don't like it when the president omits 'endowed by their Creator' from reciting the Declaration of Independence."

Brody asked Cain, "Do you believe that was intentional by the president?"

"I believe it was intentional because he did it three times, two of which I know about, and a friend of mine actually knows of a third one," Cain answered. "With all of his teleprompters, how could you not put that in there? No. I believe it was intentional."

No, Herman Cain is not a "birther." Not even close! Nor is Donald Trump. However, they are in definite agreement that the President should "bring out some proof of his eligibility to occupy the Oval Office." The whole point, Cain contends, is this: "End of discussion, so that it doesn't remain a big distraction." Should Obama follow Herman Cain's and Donald Trump's good advice - if he can - the issue can be permanently put to rest.

Besides, the last thing Obama really needs in 2012 is for too many Americans to be wondering if he is a fraud. It would be a major error in political tactics for Obama to try to keep this "big distraction" going any longer. What Obama has been doing is a definite contradiction to his promise of "transparency."

And here's the thing: The actual story here isn't about the birth certificate issue! That was just the distraction to divert our attention off of what else is brought up in Bob Unruh's column on WND. Herman Cain said in an interview with David Brody of CBN News, "Barack Obama's long list of incidents in which he disregards America's Christian heritage may be intentional."

Could Obama's reason for keeping the eligibility controversy alive be that he doesn't want his disregard for America's Christian heritage - and we'll also add the Constitution - to be an issue next year?

While Herman Cain shares Donald Trump's concern about Obama's Constitutional eligibility issues, he was willing to take it a step further. To me, that is a definite sign of Herman's courage being above politics!

We know without a doubt that Herman Cain's views will invite the usual Democrat and leftist strategy to be activated soon. They'll go to their usual mode of vitriolic ridicule, fabrications, and yes, hypocrisy. And We the People - Conservative patriotic activists, mostly with a Judeo-Christian heritage - are ready for it... this time.

Bring it on! 

  
We have learned from what Sarah Palin was put through in 2008. This time, the Democrats will be met with resistance in the form of actual proof, in their own recorded words, of who they are and what they want! The "Joe the Plumber" moment was just a taste of what we have on Obama and his minions.... this time.

Silent no more!  (unless Obama declares martial law.)  I'm just sayin'...

SPECIAL UPDATE - April 4, 2011

I found this video yesterday when I was getting this column ready to post. At that time, the embedding feature on the video at youtube had been deactivated. When I checked today, I was able to get the embedding code so that I could share this with you.

This video, from a segment on Rush Limbaugh's program, I believe to have been on March 30, 2011. The reason I wanted to share it with you is so that you will have an antidote to the liberal's vitriolic attacks they will surely ramp up against the various Republican presidential contenders that happen to suggest that Obama should make his birth certificate available.

This video, which is actually the audio from the Rush Limbaugh radio program, includes the new Barack Obama new parody song, "Born in the USA."

Another presidential hopeful wants Obama eligibility proof

Says during interview: 'I'd produce birth certificate. End of discussion'

By Bob Unruh

Businessman and possible 2012 GOP contender Herman Cain says he understands why people want President Obama to bring out some proof of his eligibility to occupy the Oval Office.

Herman Cain

He said in an interview with Shark-Tank.net he respects people who believe Obama "should prove he was born in the United States of America."

He was responding to a question about billionaire Donald Trump's flamboyant challenges to Obama to just produce his birth certificate and close the issue.

He said Trump was "not off base, just like the people who have been challenging his place of birth the last couple of years."

The interview:

Cain continued, "It's just not an issue that I have studied enough to have a view on one way or another. I've been on the radio for five years fulltime. That wasn't an issue, quite frankly, that I spent a lot of time studying. And I respect people who believe he should prove his citizenship."

He continued that there is a very simple way for such issues to be resolved.

"If I were president and someone were challenging me on that, I'd produce my birth certificate. End of discussion, so that it doesn't remain a big distraction," he said. "I know there are people who have dug up some facts on this side, some people who have dug up some facts on [the other] side."

"I, frankly, have not looked at all the facts."

Rush: Trump's questions a service to Obama

Hannity referenced Donald Trump's demand on "The View" television program that Obama should just "show the birth certificate."

Trump, a possible president candidate, apparently made the issue a legitimate campaign question, prompting Hannity to ask his panel, "What do you think about this birth certificate issue? … It has not been my main issue, but it kind of does get a little odd here after a while. Can't they just produce it and we move on?"

Video excerpt provided by Media Matters

They couldn't stay quiet about it forever. The Donald Trump "war with Whoopi" on The View over Barack Obama's birth certificate issue has catapulted radio talk show hosts and news show hosts on Fox News into a whole new level of conversation about something that could out to be nothing, if only the President would allow his actual long-form hospital-generated birth certificate to be seen. Since the tender topic first came to light back in the summer of 2008, the mainstream news organizations and radio talk shows had basically ignored the subject, if not out-right ridiculing anyone that made a suggestion that the President may or may not be constitutionally eligible because of the lack of that all-important document that is needed just to get your children onto a little-league baseball team. The subject is no longer being completely avoided. So far, though, most of the people like Donald Trump, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and even Chris Matthews have only stated that the President should make the document available in order to quell the questions and put it to rest.

However, as could be seen in the video of Donald Trump on the view, and on the clip of Hannity's Great America Panel segment seen above, there are still people on the left, such as Whoopi Goldberg and Jerry Springer, that believe that anyone that brings up Obama's eligibility are racist, which is light years from the truth, while others on the left are still ridiculing the "birthers" as right-wing kooks. But as Rush was saying, the nation is now laughing as Obama supporters are "doing their best to prop up what they know is a mistake."

The biggest mistake ever made in an election couldn't be papered over forever. With the next election quickly approaching, Obama needs to bring the birth certificate and eligibility issue to a quick end... IF he can!

Rush: Trump's questions a service to Obama

'He's giving him chance to establish credibility by producing birth certificate'

Posted: March 24, 2011 ~ 4:00 pm Eastern

Talk radio icon Rush Limbaugh today said possible presidential candidate Donald Trump is doing a service to the man he could oppose in the 2012 race by raising the issue of Barack Obama's birth certificate and eligibility.

RUSH LIMBAUGH

Media attention on the issue, which has been covered in depth by WND since it developed during the 2008 presidential race, has exploded in the last two days after Trump challenged the women of "The View" television program over the issue.

Today, Limbaugh, who previously has joked about the issue and raised concerns that the questions remain unanswered, praised Trump for his comments.

"You and I have known all along – that we're dealing with a man-child here who has literally no qualifications. No experience. No track record. And according to Donald Trump now no birth certificate," he said.

"Trump is performing a valuable service here. He is attempting to help Obama out of a jam," Limbaugh continued. "You can't say that Trump is a kook right-wing birther. Trump realizes the problem Obama faces here with credibility. He's giving him a chance here to establish some credibility by producing the birth certificate."

Limbaugh said the nation now laughs as supporters of Obama are "doing their best to prop up what they know is a mistake. We're being governed by a giant mistake. One of the biggest mistakes that's ever been made in an election in this country."

While supporters try to "paper over" questions about Obama, "Trump's not the kind of guy to comb over difficulties. If he's going to bring this up about this birth certificate, you know that it's serious. Trump's not a fly-by-night kind of guy."

Limbaugh also noted the irony of a video clip aired today in which Obama apparently was locked out of the White House.

"While hilarious, it is one of the most accurate metaphors for where we are with this regime and where it is. How do you NOT know the president's coming in," he said. "That was the excuse the White House gave. What do you mean you didn't know?"

The Mediaite has posted online a video of Limbaugh's report:

Donald wars with Whoopi over Obama's eligibility

Trump noted his skepticism of evidence proffered thus far about Obama's life history, stating, "I grew up in New York. Wall Street was a big part. I have seen fraud and I have seen scandal and I have seen a lot of things that people don't see. I've seen people take a $100 bill and make it a $1,000,000 bill. The point is, I can't rely on some newspaper [birth announcement] that they showed [to prove the president's eligibility]. I want him to show his birth certificate!"

"There's something on his birth certificate he doesn't want to show?" an incredulous Barbara Walters asked. "That's a terrible thing to say."

Okay, I'm not a big fan of Donald Trump. And I had to try very hard to keep from gagging when watching the clip from "The View" in the video below. (And I have never figured out why anyone would want to be on "The View" and having a bunch of screaming liberal women attacking the guest all at the same time. But that's just me.) But, the clip is priceless! Donald really knew how to push their buttons!

Oh, how it was so predictable that the ladies on "The View," being predominately liberal leftists (except for perhaps Elisabeth Hasselbeck), would go so ballistic, especially Whoopi, when Donald brought up the concerns about Obama's birth certificate. As you will see in the video below, they refuse to believe that their Messiah would have anything to hide. And Whoopi seems to think that if Obama was white, or if it was George W. Bush, nobody would be questioning his eligibility.... You get the idea. All "The Donald" wants Obama to do is show his birth certificate in order to quell the questioning from the "birthers."

Trump: 'There's something on that birth certificate that he doesn't like'

Billionaire developer and potential Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump got into a heated war of words on national television today as he questioned why Barack Obama has not revealed his long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate to help demonstrate his eligibility for the presidency.

"I want him to show his birth certificate! There's something on that birth certificate that he doesn't like," said Trump on ABC's "The View."

The comment enraged co-host Whoopi Goldberg, who fired back, "I think that's the biggest pile of dog mess I've heard in ages. It's not 'cause he's black is it?"

"It has nothing to do with that," said Trump.

Goldberg interjected, "Because I've never heard any white president asked to be shown the birth certificate. When you become a president of the United States of America, you know that he's American. I'm sorry, that's B.S."

Discussion of Obama's birth certificate can be seen in the following YouTube video:

"I really believe there's a birth certificate," Trump explained. "Why doesn't he show his birth certificate? And you know what? I wish he would. Because I think it's a terrible pall that's hanging over him. He should show his birth certificate.

"The other thing. If you go back to my first grade, my kindergarten, people remember me. Nobody from those early years remembers him. If you're going to be the president of the United States, it says very profoundly that you have to be born in this country."

Obama's laughing at you ~ By Joseph Farah

The Barack Obama SMIRK

You know who they're laughing at – you. You and the Constitution and the laws of the land. Because for people like Obama and Emanuel, the laws are not really laws. They are merely suggestions – or requirements for their opponents. They are not etched in stone. They change subject to their convenience. They are to be sidestepped and mocked. Obama and Emanuel and their allies are above the law. The law is just for rubes like you.

Do you get it?

Joseph Farah brings up some excellent points in this piece, and the main theme is that Obama is laughing at "us." And who do I or does Joseph mean by "us?" Not just any American. Probably not anyone involved with public employee unions or SEIU or ACORN. No. The disparagement is targeted on the American people in the Tea Party Movement, and especially those of us (which is the vast majority of the movement) that take the Constitution of the United States (COTUS) seriously! In other words, it isn't just the "birthers" that Obama and his cronies are laughing at. I guarantee that the marginalization and ridicule will continue to happen in 2012 during the election campaigns, and will be projected on whoever is chosen to be Obama's Republican opponent.

Toward the end of the excerpt below, Joseph lists the reasons that Obama refuses to release his birth certificate (and many other vital records that would help us determine who he really is). I would like to add three more possibilities to the list:

• Is it that Obama is just showing his extreme arrogance and his disdain for the Constitution, and by disparaging the "birthers," he is, by projection, actually trying to disparage anyone that supports the Constitution?

• Is it because Obama is trying to distract the tea-partiers, those of us on the Right, and the alternative media? Isn't that the old magician trick of "watch this hand so you don't see what the other hand is doing?"

• Is it a trap for the GOP candidate in 2012? That candidate could risk alienating those of us that question Obama's eligibility and his past if our candidate dismisses it, or be gleefully ridiculed, marginalized, and excoriated by the left-wing press and Obama campaign staff if the GOP candidate happens to agree with us.

Obama's laughing at you

JOSEPH FARAH

Last Saturday night, Barack Obama spoke to the Gridiron Club in Washington.

In case you don't know, the Gridiron Club is an exclusive, invitation-only group of Washington "journalists." Every year the group hobnobs with the public officials they are supposed to be covering in a private dinner, usually including the president – or, as in the case last Saturday, the current occupant of the White House.

From the filtered reports of the event, it was just about what you would expect.

Barack Obama cut off the playing of "Hail to the Chief" by the U.S. Marine Band as he was introduced and asked: "Can we go with that song we talked about?"

With that, the band broke into Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA."

"Some things just bear repeating," Obama cracked.

Har-har-hardy-har-har.

He can repeat it all he wants. And, for all we know, it may even be true that Obama was born in the USA. But a more effective way to make the point, now that he is aware of the fact that most Americans don't believe his birth narrative or much of anything else he says, would be to release his birth certificate.

Somehow, I think there's a reason he refuses to do so.

What could that reason be?

• Is it that his long-form birth certificate, the one needed to get a passport, sign up for Little League baseball or get a driver's license in many states, was long ago amended to show he was adopted by an Indonesian stepfather?

• Is it that his long-form birth certificate would reveal his parents weren't who he claims?

• Is it that his long-form birth certificate shows he was born somewhere besides Hawaii?

• Is it that his long-form birth certificate shows he was born in some other country?

We don't know. For whatever reason, Obama would like us never to know – and that is of understandable concern to millions of Americans, even if it is of no concern to the Gridiron Club, which guffawed itself into hysteria last Saturday night.
