Jim Inhofe R-OK on Wednesday viewed the death photos of Osama bin Laden and once again called on the Obama administration to release at least some of them to the public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inhofe described several of the images as "pretty grotesque." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I am still requesting that they make it public," the Oklahoma Republican said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inhofe conceded that perhaps that release could be limited to the photos of bin Laden's body as it was being prepared for burial at sea. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said those photos, taken aboard a ship, could make it easier for the public to identify the body as bin Laden's than those taken earlier at the compound where he was killed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Because I have heard on the radio a lot of people saying 'I won't believe it until I see it,''' Inhofe said ''If it takes that for closure, I would recommend it." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Inhofe said he was the first member of Congress to view the bin Laden death photos at CIA headquarters after the agency agreed to make them available to certain lawmakers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He cited information received from other sources and explained his viewing of the photos was not necessary to convince him that bin Laden had been killed in a raid by Navy SEALs in Pakistan on May 1. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, Inhofe disagreed with President Barack Obama's decision not to release the photos. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;U.S. Rep. Dan Boren, D-Okla., a member of the House Intelligence Committee, said Wednesday he also has made the decision to view the photos. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I have supported the release of these pictures so that there is no question that he was in fact killed," Boren said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I understand the sensitivity of this issue and can see why some may have the opinion that we could do more harm than good by sending them to news outlets. It is my belief that we should always try to be transparent." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an interview broadcast Sunday on CBS's "60 Minutes," Obama explained the decision not to release the photos. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We've done DNA sampling and testing and so there is no doubt that we killed Osama bin Laden," the president said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It is important for us to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence or as a propaganda tool. That's not who we are." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tulsa World article at http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?subjectid=505&amp;articleid=20110512_16_A1_ULNSbS388493&lt;br /&gt;````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Republicans and Democrats alike at least in Oklahoma have some sense...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe we are a bit Morbid here in Oklahoma, but President Obama look around you those who wish to do us harm are still at it.

Peter DeFazio (D-OR), Jim McDermott (D-WA) and Jay Inslee (D-WA)&lt;/b&gt; are crafting a letter to share with the House Democratic Caucus that would try to prevent the Speaker from bringing the tax bill to the floor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They hope to get 60 signatures on their letter (which is still being drafted) and then force a vote in the caucus. DeFazio says he thinks that if a majority of House Democrats are against this compromise, they shouldn't bring it to the floor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other words, they are seeking a majority of the majority to move this and a senior House democratic source indicates they don't know if they have a majority of democrats, saying they haven't whipped this yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an interview with Fox, DeFazio criticizes the president and says a majority of the House Democratic Caucus does not support the tax rate compromise. "There does not seem to be a majority of the Democrats who support the deal negotiated by Vice President Biden," DeFazio said. "So we want to have a record vote in the caucus on a resolution that says this resolution should not go to the floor without a majority of Democratic votes."&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;So what is this?

He said there should be an exception for the flag.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LeVangie, a World War II veteran, said he used to fly his American flag outside his apartment at the Maple Leaf complex in Hillsborough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In respect for all the troops serving overseas now and for those who never came back," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wmur.com/news/23611657/detail.html"&gt;Video Here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But recently, his management company told all residents that their flags had to come down. The brackets for the flag poles were also removed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I was madder than hell," he said. "Come to find out, it was the maintenance man who was told to do so."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The same thing happened to Margery Kenney, who lives next door. Her brackets were taken down, and her flag is now rolled up against the wall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"My whole family was in the service, and it's a shame something like this was allowed to happen," she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EJL Management said the flags violate a blanket policy prohibiting such displays. A letter sent to LeVangie said a letter sent to him by the company said it was part of a policy that also prohibits lawn ornaments and grills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The company said that to honor residents' patriotism, a flag was placed at the entrance of Maple Leaf. But LeVangie said a single flag is not enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Why should it be sufficient?" he said. "Is the one in Concord sufficient for the state of New Hampshire?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LeVangie's rent is subsidized by the federal government. A representative from the Department of Housing and Urban Development said EJL is complying with the Freedom to &lt;a href="http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h109-42"&gt;Display the American Flag Act of 2005.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SM6uhbQXCkI/AAAAAAAAB5s/5i8ELF2bjBQ/s1600-h/s-FLAGGOTS-large.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SM6uhbQXCkI/AAAAAAAAB5s/5i8ELF2bjBQ/s400/s-FLAGGOTS-large.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246322505208498754" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;UPDATE:&lt;/b&gt; Update: Hillsborough police say an agreement has been reached to allow LeVangie and other residents to fly the U.S. flag and make sure the flags are in good condition. Read The Update &lt;a href="http://www.wmur.com/news/23624891/detail.html"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;UPDATE:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;HILLSBOROUGH, N.H. -- A Navy veteran in Hillsborough will now be allowed to fly his U.S. flag outside his apartment building.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hillsborough police said an agreement has been reached to allow residents of the Maple Leaf Village complex to fly flags.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joe LeVangie, 88, and his neighbors had been told to take down the flags because they were displayed in violation of a policy set by the management company. LeVangie is a World War II veteran and said he flew his flag to honor troops serving overseas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Police said that under a preliminary agreement reached with management company EJL Management, the Hillsborough Police Association in partnership with American Legion Post 59 agreed to keep an eye on the flags and make sure they are in good condition. If not, the police association will talk to the owner of the flag to see if it can be replaced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the owner can't replace it, the police association will cover the cost to replace the flag at no cost to the town or owner of the rental property.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Police said all parties are in agreement, and the details will be worked out with the property custodian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LeVangie's story gained national attention after it was first reported on News 9. Many viewers who saw the story on-air or online said they were shocked by the order to remove the flag.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wmur.com/news/23624891/detail.html"&gt;Slideshow And Video Here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Oh My God!!! What is happening to this Country? You cant wear a Cross or a Rosary to School, the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts are under attack, you cant fly the American Flag anywhere it seems EVEN IN AMERICA, The Memorial For The Veterans Cross in the Mojave Desert is being solen then replaced then stolen again, and on and on... People need to knock it off. This Country was founded under the belief that GOD does exist and 80% of the people agree.

LA gets about 25 percent of its power from Arizona.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That is one commissioner who has that idea whether he can do that or not is another idea," said LA Councilman Dennis Zine. "They are the ones who have to make the move, not us."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The commissioner's power grid play is in response to the city's approval of a resolution directing city staff to consider which contracts with Arizona can be terminated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Can Arizona Pull the Plug?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's part Arizona Corporation Commission member Gary Pierce's letter to the mayor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;"If an economic boycott is truly what you desire, I will be happy to encourage Arizona utilities to renegotiate your power agreements so Los Angeles no longer receives any power from Arizona-based generation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am confident that Arizona’s utilities would be happy to take those electrons off your hands. If, however, you find that the City Council lacks the strength of its convictions to turn off the lights in Los Angeles and boycott Arizona power, please reconsider the wisdom of attempting to harm Arizona’s economy.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The full text was sent to the blog Hot Air.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is in Washington D.C., meeting with Mexican President Felipe Calderon, but his deputy chief of staff issued the following statement: &lt;b&gt;"The mayor stands strongly behind the city council and he will not respond to threats from the state that has isolated itself from an America that values freedom, liberty and basic civil rights."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Councilmember Tom LaBonge said he'd like to talk with Pierce. LaBonge said the city needs to look into its long standing utility agreements with Arizona.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LaBonge met Wednesday morning with LA Department of Water and Power officials.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We have right of ownership of the power plants," LaBonge told NBCLA. "We partially own them."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other California cities, including Oakland and San Francisco, have passed similar measures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Tuesday, Berkeley became the latest California city to boycott Arizona. The City Council voted unanimously to restrict staff from traveling to the state on city business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;SB 1070 -- here's the text of the law -- empowers local law enforcement to check the immigration status  of suspects they have stopped for other reasons if there is a reasonable  suspicion they are in the country illegally. The law specifically bars police  from racial profiling.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Arizona Republic newspaper recently asked a panel of experts to outline how the law would work in real-world situations. The experts' interpretations varied when it came to what happens at the point a law encforcement officer can or should ask about a person's status.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;LADWP Backs City Council&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los Angeles Department of Water and Power general manager Austin Beutner released this statement Wednesday evening:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;"I want to make clear that we support the city position regarding the recent law enacted in Arizona and the resolution adopted by the Los Angeles City Council.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"On any given day, we receive 20 to 25 percent of our power from two power plants located in Arizona: Navajo, a coal-fired plant, and Palo Verde, a nuclear plant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We are part owner of both power plants, which are generating assets of the department. As such, nothing in the city's resolution is inconsistent with our continuing to receive power from those department-owned assets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I might add that, as the city's Job Czar, I certainly would welcome any conventions or meetings that were going to be held in Arizona to come to Los Angeles. We have fantastic facilities and incomparable weather and we'd welcome them to the City of Angels."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Well hell yeah!! I am in LA right now trying to sell my parents house and I agree with Arizona for enforcing the laws on the books entirely! I would LOVE to see Arizona stand up for enforcing their law and LA should stay the hell out of Arizona's bussiness! I will put up with the sacrifice of the blackout because Los Angeles has a Mayor named Antonio Villarigosia and he is an idiot! Arizona is just enforcing their own law, and most of California agrees with it, no matter what Mayor Villarigosia say's!!!!

Harry Reid is irrespossible and wreckless in his attitude, behavior, and comments and he must go.

The ObamaCare plan? The Polls? The Economy? The 10%Unemployment Rate? Taxes? Cash For Cloture? The Stimulus Bust? Whatever it is Democrat's are running for the hills. GOOD! Chris Dodd has joined a laundry list of Democrat's that are not running for re-election, kicked out over corruption,($90,000In the Freezer William Jefferson comes to mind) kickbacks, (Sen. Ben Nelson D-Nebraska, comes to mind) and seeing the writing on the wall that their chances in 2010 dont look so good. So far we have Sen. Byron Dorgan D-North Dakota, Bowing out, And Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter D-Colorado, viewed as a rising Democratic star after a 2006 election victory that laid the groundwork for a Democratic pickup there in the 2008 presidential race, announced Wednesday that he will bow out rather than seek re-election. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The retirements underscore how sharply the political climate has turned against the majority party, which looked almost impregnable after the 2008 elections. With major initiatives such as the stimulus and the health-care overhaul unpopular, Democrats are looking increasingly vulnerable in the states that formed the basis of their new majority, particular places such as Colorado and Virginia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another setback came in Michigan, where the Democratic front-runner for governor, Lt. Gov. John Cherry (D), announced that he would not run after all. Mr. Cherry, strategists believe, was too closely associated with the state's unpopular Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm, who is blamed by many voters for a jobless rate that is far higher than the national average.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so on and so on, it seems the Democrat's are not only fighting with the Republic Of America that disagree with them, but they are the wrong party at the wrong time and American's are sick of this crap!!!

The combative conservative said tests show nothing wrong after he was hospitalized with chest pains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He remained at a hospital in Hawaii Thursday night, a day after being admitted for chest pains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to his radio program, Limbaugh underwent a complete examination on Thursday that gave doctors more information about his condition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Walter E. Williams, who filled in for Limbaugh on his radio show, offered a brief update on the host's condition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Rush continues to rest very comfortably in the hospital in Honolulu this afternoon," Williams said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Limbaugh was in Hawaii for a Christmas vacation. He was spotted golfing earlier in the week at the Waialae Country Club.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Wednesday, he was taken from the Kahala Hotel and Resort to Queens Medical Center after complaining of chest pains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Those pains were the kind of pains that makes one feel like he has a heart attack coming on, but it's not been confirmed that it was a heart attack," Williams said. "Rush is in good and stable condition. (He's) comfortable, as comfortable as one can be in a hospital while on vacation and he's in good hands."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Friday, Limbaugh held a conference to brief reporters at the Cardiac Comprehensive Care Unit of the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I experienced pain in my upper left chest like I had never felt before," Limbaugh said. (Video: Watch the entire interview.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said the pain was real but he still doesn't know what caused it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Limbaugh said an angiogram found nothing wrong and that he's never had heart problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Best guess," Limbaugh said, "it might have been a spasm in an artery."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The treatment I received here was first rate," he said, thanking the doctors, nurses and nurses aides at Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Limbaugh checked out of the hospital after his news conference. He said he would return to work on Wednesday, a two-day delay because of his hospitalization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.kitv.com/politics/22094469/detail.html"&gt;Rest Of Story Here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Well Thank You American Medical System!!!! Do NOT let Obama get us involved in some weird, twisted, UK/Canadian, Health Care System! Our system works just fine, but if Congress is allowed to gain control, we are screwed! We will NEVER be seen IMMEDIATELY again! We will have to wait weeks. I know first hand about the health care billing system. If you owe, you only have to pay 10.00 a month and they have to accept it. The Health Care Company may want more, but the truth is if ten dollars a month is paid, (It may take longer to pay off but) it will get paid off. And you or a family member will be seen  immediately, unlike ObamaCare, where if you have ever been to Harbor General Hospital in Los Angeles, California you know what  I'm talking about, it will take weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Affordable Health Care YES!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ObamaCare NO!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank God For The Current American Medical Care System.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8571231-7879788585187908940?l=mariestwocents.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mariestwocents.blogspot.com/feeds/7879788585187908940/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8571231&amp;postID=7879788585187908940' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8571231/posts/default/7879788585187908940'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8571231/posts/default/7879788585187908940'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mariestwocents.blogspot.com/2010/01/rush-limbaugh-says-hes-fine.html' title='Rush Limbaugh Say&apos;s: He&apos;s Fine!'/><author><name>Marie's Two Cents</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12024589000490517815</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/210/2132/320/ATT33377691313131313.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SadDpQOvnGI/AAAAAAAADHY/xdmkAR0k3zc/s72-c/06cov-500.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8571231.post-7105710349218564509</id><published>2010-01-02T13:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-02T13:39:35.564-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Happy New Year'/><title type='text'>Happy (Late) New Year!!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://d21c.com/AnnesPlace/NewYears/ChampBub.gif"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8571231-7105710349218564509?l=mariestwocents.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mariestwocents.blogspot.com/feeds/7105710349218564509/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8571231&amp;postID=7105710349218564509' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8571231/posts/default/7105710349218564509'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8571231/posts/default/7105710349218564509'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mariestwocents.blogspot.com/2010/01/happy-late-new-year.html' title='Happy (Late) New Year!!!!'/><author><name>Marie's Two Cents</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12024589000490517815</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/210/2132/320/ATT33377691313131313.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8571231.post-2080859020387513802</id><published>2009-12-29T17:46:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-29T18:45:25.537-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Weak'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='National Defence'/><title type='text'>Obama?

Janet Napolitano, the homeland security secretary, on Sunday said “the system worked” but later performed a U-turn, saying that it did not work and “no one is happy with that”, comments that were reinforced by Mr Obama on Tuesday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peter Hoekstra, a congressman from Michigan and ranking Republican of the House intelligence committee, said the suspect should have had a red flag next to his name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You would have thought this would go right to the top of the list,” Mr Hoekstra told CBS on Tuesday. “This threat is real . . . We need to be on offence.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans traditionally perceive Republicans to be strong on national security issues.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“If this line of attack continues, it is going to reveal problems not just with the Obama administration but with the homeland security system, a system that was put in place by President [George W.] Bush,” said Julian Zelizer, a professor at Princeton University.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/a9747974-f49c-11de-9cba-00144feab49a.html"&gt;Rest Of Story Here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;PRESIDENT OBAMA!

Simon and Lionel Chetwynd, both Academy members, are among a small, meandering pack of known political conservatives still believed to be on the loose in the liberal bastion of movie-making. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2007, the Academy sanctified Gore's cinematic message of global warming with its famous statue, enriched his earnings by &lt;b&gt;$100,000 per 85-minute&lt;/b&gt; appearance and helped elevate the Tennessean's profile to win the Nobel Peace Prize despite losing the election battle of 2000 to a Texan and living in a large house with lots of energy-driven appliances.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chetwynd and Simon were prompted to make their hopeless demand this week by the ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... leak two weeks ago of a blizzard of British academic e-mails purporting to show that scientists at the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit systematically falsified data to document the appearance of global warming in recent years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The university is reportedly investigating the claims, which added dry fuel to the never-ending political debate over whether the Earth really is warming as a result of human activity or if it's just normal natural cycles and the debate is what's heated. The demand to withdraw Gore's award provides yet another opportunity to argue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The startling leak comes at an inconvenient time, just before next week's United Nations climate change meeting, which will cause an immense carbon footprint with thousands of people flying up or over to Denmark to talk about saving the environment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These airplanes will include Air Force One with its primary passenger, President Obama, who's returning to the Copenhagen scene where he didn't help win the 2016 Summer Olympics for Chicago, which could do with a little global warming at this time of year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simon, a screenwriter who is also chief executive officer of Pajamas Media, a network of conservative online blogs, conceded he knew of no precedent for the Academy withdrawing a previously awarded Oscar, despite decades of Hollywood high jinks and worse. But, he added, "I think they should rescind this one."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rest Of Story Here: &lt;a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2009/12/al-gore-oscar-global-warming.html"&gt;Take Back Al Gore's Oscar, Two Academy Members Demand In Light Of "Climategate"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Oh wouldn't that be Inconveinient!

They appeared to show that scientists had been massaging data to prove that global warming was taking place&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Climate Research Unit also admitted getting rid of much of its raw climate data, which means other scientists cannot check the subsequent research. Last night the head of the CRU, Professor Phil Jones, said he would stand down while an independent review took place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rest of the story here &lt;a href="http://www.dailyexpress.co.uk/posts/view/143573"&gt;CLIMATE CHANGE 'FRAUD' &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font color="green"&gt;How could this be?

We can understand why a extreme partisan like Rush Limbaugh wants President Obama’s Jobs program to fail — but the members of Congress elected to represent the citizens in their districts? That’s another matter. Now the Obama plan goes to the Senate, and the question is: Will our Senator"—here the ad is tailored by state to name George Voinovich in Ohio, Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania, and John Ensign in Nevada—"side with Rush Limbaugh too?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Asked to respond, Limbaugh had a message for his party.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Senate Republicans need to understand this is not about me,” he wrote in an email. “It is about them, about intimidating them, especially after the show of unity in House. It is about the 2010 and 2012 elections.

Is it just me, or are Obama and the Democrat's too "Thin Skinned"?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has launched an online petition to express outrage at conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh for saying he wanted President Obama to "fail."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SadEbEofG5I/AAAAAAAADIA/GON8caoq9hU/s1600-h/untitled.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 180px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SadEbEofG5I/AAAAAAAADIA/GON8caoq9hU/s400/untitled.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307285917770128274" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Jobs, health care, our place in the world the stakes for our nation are high and every American needs President Obama to succeed," the petition reads. "Stand strong against Rush Limbaugh's Attacks sign our petition, telling Rush what you think of his attacks on President Obama."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The petition comes after Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill Friday that they need to quit listening to Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SadDywzxVWI/AAAAAAAADHg/eAIrrbDAGJw/s1600-h/goldm.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 153px; height: 281px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SadDywzxVWI/AAAAAAAADHg/eAIrrbDAGJw/s400/goldm.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307285225253983586" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One White House official confirmed the comment but said he was simply trying to make a larger point about bipartisan efforts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Monday, Limbaugh shot back at Obama, opening his show by saying, "I'm the man you should not be listening to, according to President Obama."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I think [Obama] wants me to fail," Limbaugh said. "He's more frightened of me than he is of John Boehner, which doesn't say much for our party."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The remarks came after Limbaugh said last week on his radio show: "If I wanted Obama to succeed, I'd be happy the Republicans have laid down. I don't want this to work. So I'm thinking of replying to this guy, say 'okay, I'll send you a response, but I don't need 400 words, I need four: I hope he fails'."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The committee's online petition includes a YouTube video featuring audio clips of the radio host's recent remarks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SadEROzPXBI/AAAAAAAADH4/OTrrAf39y8E/s1600-h/rush-limbaugh300copy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 160px; height: 115px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SadEROzPXBI/AAAAAAAADH4/OTrrAf39y8E/s400/rush-limbaugh300copy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307285748700896274" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/01/27/dems-launch-online-petition-rush-limbaugh/"&gt;Story Here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0109/18049.html"&gt;House GOP Gingery to Rush: Back Off&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://gingrey.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=109616"&gt;Gingery: Comments About Rush Limbaugh Big Misunderstanding&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/01/28/gop-leader-pushes-back-ag_n_161650.html"&gt;GOP Leader Pushes Back Against Limbaugh Line&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dccc.org/page/petition/rush"&gt;Democrat Petition Against Rush Limbaugh&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dccc.org/page/s/contact"&gt;Rush Limbaugh's Petition Against Democrat's&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/today.guest.html"&gt;Rush Limbaugh.Com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If this is laying the foundation for the Democrat's to push through the "Fairness Doctrine", a/k/a "The Cencorship Doctrine" they are in for one hell of a fight.

IS HE INSANE, OR JUST PLAIN STUPID???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jan/21/barack-obama-iran-negotiations"&gt;Barack Obama: Administration willing to talk to Iran 'without preconditions'&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*)...&lt;b&gt;Obama Doesn't Want To Protect Our Country With The Assistance Of Outer Space&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/210/2132/640/anilloofsdi.jpg'&gt;&lt;img border='0' style='border:3px solid #000000; margin:2px' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/210/2132/320/anilloofsdi.jpg'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Missile Defense System&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'&gt;&lt;img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' border='0' style='border:0px;padding:0px;background:transparent;' align='absmiddle'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*snip*&lt;i&gt;One of the little covered aspects of Barack Obama as a candidate was his pledge to de-weaponize space.  I covered it here as well as linking to a video in this old post.  Why space?  Why not get rid of all weapons on land, sea and air as well?  Surely, our enemies will see the logic in not weaponizing another portion of human territory and abide by President Barack Obama’s latest initiative:&lt;/i&gt;*snip*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;W&lt;/b&gt;ell, there goes Star Wars! Every time we get close to having extra protection from someone lobbing a Missile our way, here come the Democrat's to stop it. Why? Why invite an attack on the United States of America? Is Obama aware that every terrorist out there that want us ALL DEAD is watching all this gross misuse of power and salivating over the fact they are moving closer and closer to being able to accomplish another attack on the US? Why are the Democrat's so hell bent on being weak in the knees and kissing the ass of those that want us all DEAD? Wussies! They remind me me of "Oh Please! If we are nice to you and forgive you for everything you have ever done to us, will you not attack us again? Please? Please?" Democrat's make me ill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://workingconservative.com/?p=1320"&gt;No Weapons in Space?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*)...&lt;b&gt;Picking A Fight With Rush Limbaugh&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SadDpQOvnGI/AAAAAAAADHY/xdmkAR0k3zc/s1600-h/06cov-500.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 294px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SadDpQOvnGI/AAAAAAAADHY/xdmkAR0k3zc/s400/06cov-500.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307285061889924194" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;T&lt;/b&gt;his is the beginning of the fight over the so called "Fairness Doctrine". Or as most of us really know it's the "Cencorship Doctrine"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*snip* &lt;i&gt;President Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill today that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration.&lt;/i&gt; *snip*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I&lt;/b&gt;s this some kind of a threat? Sounds like one to me. I have never seen a President so upset over a few people on Talk Radio! "PRIVATE CITIZENS"! It's not our fault that folk's dont like or listen to Radio Talk show's from the left. Obviously folk's DONT WANT TO HEAR IT! For Pete's sake, the Left Wingers have the Media, The Schools, Hollywood, Newspapers like the NYT, etc...All we have is Fox News and a few Radio Talk Show's! Now Obama and the Democrat's are going to start the process of denying Free Speech over the Airwaves, Hannity, Beck, Limbaugh, Ingraham, Malkin, etc.. They want to silence us altogether!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;W&lt;/b&gt;ell that will really send us Right Wingers completely over the edge and there will be a fight. I mean, are the same rules going to apply to the Lefty's? I DOUBT IT! There is not a snowballs chance in hell the Democrat's will accomplish silencing and taking away my favorite Radio Talk show host's first amendment right's and silencing my listening pleasure. Get Prepared people, this time we will have to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and take the gloves off on this one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/01/23/obama-quit-listening-rush-limbaugh-want-things/"&gt;Obama: Quit Listening to Rush Limbaugh if You Want to Get Things Done&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*)...&lt;b&gt;Obama Officials Confirm He Will Fund Foreign Abortions Starting Wednesday&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SX-2Ea7FjEI/AAAAAAAADGA/x1t0o9QA5lY/s1600-h/baraobam29.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 187px; height: 188px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SX-2Ea7FjEI/AAAAAAAADGA/x1t0o9QA5lY/s400/baraobam29.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296151873873873986" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;W&lt;/b&gt;TF? Ok now this is going to damn far! We have been bailing out everyone known to man and this Moron want's to spend OUR Money to fund Foreign Abortions? Where are we suppose to get the money for this? Obama say's we are broke, and he want's to pull this shit? It's not enough that Obama already overturned the ban on Federally funded abortions here at home but to pay for Mary's abortion in Kenya? There goes more of our paycheck's for thing's most of us not only dont believe in but have no intention of paying for. I think we need a "Line Item Tax Form"! How about WE get to pick and choose what WE want to pay for? This is an outrage!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lifenews.com/nat4757.html"&gt;Obama Officials Confirm He Will Fund Foreign Abortions Starting Wednesday&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*)...&lt;b&gt;And Obama's Stimulus, Bailout, Welfare, Full Of Pork Program&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SX-6C5zvRTI/AAAAAAAADGI/Z4Bnl71_WyQ/s1600-h/SaddlePig2WeeksNursDSCF3456-767083.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SX-6C5zvRTI/AAAAAAAADGI/Z4Bnl71_WyQ/s400/SaddlePig2WeeksNursDSCF3456-767083.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296156245851325746" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*snip*&lt;i&gt;House GOP leader John Boehner’s office reports that the left-wing voter fraud/illegal alien/housing entitlement racketeers at ACORN “could get billions” more in federal taxpayer funding from the Democrats’ stimulus bill.&lt;/i&gt;*snip*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;N&lt;/b&gt;ow this really takes the cake, litterally! This welfare program of Obama's wont see any stimulus in this package for years to come. In this beauty of a program there is funding for &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.acorn.org/"&gt;A.C.O.R.N.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Remember the Non-Partison Group who were registering people repeatedly and were caught on You Tube pushing voters for Obama? You know the ones next to the Drive By Media who helped get Obama elected? We covered Global Abortions already, that's in there. Re-Decorating Bathrooms, a Mob Museum etc... Just how in the hell is this suppose to save/and/or create 3 million jobs? Out Of $825 Billion only $26 Billion will be spent this year and the rest spread out over years. How is this a "Jolt" to the economy? $8 Hundred and Twenty Five Billion with a "B" dollars, shot to hell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2009/01/26/acorn-watch-left-wing-fraudsters-could-get-billions-in-stimulus-money/"&gt;ACORN Watch: Left-wing fraudsters “could get billions” in stimulus money&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://appropriations.house.gov/pdf/PressSummary01-15-09.pdf"&gt;Obama Stimulus Package PDF File&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SWJm-EYag6I/AAAAAAAADBA/NNwxN0fpusw/s1600-h/Obamabrain.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 334px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SWJm-EYag6I/AAAAAAAADBA/NNwxN0fpusw/s400/Obamabrain.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287902129000448930" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Obama ran on "Hope And Change"!

Bush are all wrong. The liberal line is that Bush dangerously weakened America's position in the world and rushed to the aid of the rich and powerful as income inequality worsened. That is twaddle. Conservatives--okay, not all of them--have only been a little bit kinder. They give Bush credit for the surge that saved Iraq, but not for much else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SWuDZ2ydWoI/AAAAAAAADC4/NO6NloBloBg/s1600-h/capt_4e34a30831de435298db13b1b8c3403c_bush_dcsa108.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 399px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SWuDZ2ydWoI/AAAAAAAADC4/NO6NloBloBg/s400/capt_4e34a30831de435298db13b1b8c3403c_bush_dcsa108.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290466667503901314" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;He deserves better. His presidency was far more successful than not.&lt;/b&gt; And there's an aspect of his decision-making that merits special recognition: his courage. Time and time again, Bush did what other presidents, even Ronald Reagan, would not have done and for which he was vilified and abused. That--defiantly doing the right thing--is what distinguished his presidency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bush had ten great achievements (and maybe more) in his eight years in the White House, starting with his decision in 2001 to jettison the Kyoto global warming treaty so loved by Al Gore, the environmental lobby, elite opinion, and Europeans. The treaty was a disaster, with India and China exempted and economic decline the certain result. Everyone knew it. But only Bush said so and acted accordingly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SWuDpfqROvI/AAAAAAAADDA/iwNvrYbPwZI/s1600-h/capt_639a3207c08f4f05a909420ec0641bf4_bush_dcsa106.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 295px; height: 345px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SWuDpfqROvI/AAAAAAAADDA/iwNvrYbPwZI/s400/capt_639a3207c08f4f05a909420ec0641bf4_bush_dcsa106.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290466936173443826" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He stood athwart mounting global warming hysteria and yelled, "Stop!" He slowed the movement toward a policy blunder of worldwide impact, providing time for facts to catch up with the dubious claims of alarmists. Thanks in part to Bush, the supposed consensus of scientists on global warming has now collapsed. The skeptics, who point to global cooling over the past decade, are now heard loud and clear. And a rational approach to the theory of manmade global warming is possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, enhanced interrogation of terrorists. Along with use of secret prisons and wireless eavesdropping, this saved American lives. How many thousands of lives? We'll never know. But, as Charles Krauthammer said recently, "Those are precisely the elements which kept us safe and which have prevented a second attack."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Crucial intelligence was obtained from captured al Qaeda leaders, including 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, with the help of waterboarding. Whether this tactic--it creates a drowning sensation--is torture is a matter of debate. John McCain and many Democrats say it is. Bush and Vice President Cheney insist it isn't. In any case, it was necessary. Lincoln once made a similar point in defending his suspension of habeas corpus in direct defiance of Chief Justice Roger Taney. "Are all the laws but one to go unexecuted, and the government itself go to pieces, lest that one be violated?" Lincoln asked. Bush understood the answer in wartime had to be no.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SWuAb66dA5I/AAAAAAAADCo/FRNSHmDJprE/s1600-h/b9dbb184-2e59-457c-aa11-4be53f49aecd.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 295px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SWuAb66dA5I/AAAAAAAADCo/FRNSHmDJprE/s400/b9dbb184-2e59-457c-aa11-4be53f49aecd.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290463404436030354" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bush's Third achievement was the rebuilding of presidential authority, badly degraded in the era of Vietnam, Watergate, and Bill Clinton. He didn't hesitate to conduct wireless surveillance of terrorists without getting a federal judge's okay. He decided on his own how to treat terrorists and where they should be imprisoned. Those were legitimate decisions for which the president, as commander in chief, should feel no need to apologize.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SWuD4ak_h9I/AAAAAAAADDI/HokNU4o4-Bc/s1600-h/r3416467997.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 229px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SWuD4ak_h9I/AAAAAAAADDI/HokNU4o4-Bc/s400/r3416467997.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290467192507172818" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Defending, all the way to the Supreme Court, Cheney's refusal to disclose to Congress the names of people he'd consulted on energy policy was also enormously important. Democratic congressman Henry Waxman demanded the names, but the Court upheld Cheney, 7-2. Last week, Cheney defended his refusal, waspishly noting that Waxman "doesn't call me up and tell me who he's meeting with."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VWhRFrdYi_k&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VWhRFrdYi_k&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/015/986rockt.asp"&gt;Rest Of Story Here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font color="darkred"&gt;Elegant, Brilliant, and so much the Man.

Negroponte and almost 1,000 invited guests looked on as the embassy's Marine security detachment raised the red, white and blue over the largest U.S. Embassy in the world, with the Army's 4th Infantry Division Band playing the U.S. national anthem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The compound, set on 104 acres along the banks of the Tigris River in central Baghdad, includes 27 modern office, housing and support buildings in tones that blend with the desert landscape.

Their tasks and missions run the gamut: supporting local elections, helping to fight corruption, helping develop Iraq's energy and transportation sectors, strengthening the rule of law, providing security training and promoting educational and cultural exchange. In addition, 240 servicemembers assigned to Multinational Force Iraq are based at the embassy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talabani called the new building a sign of how far the U.S.-Iraqi relationship has come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This building is not only a compound for the embassy, but a symbol of the deep friendship between the two peoples of Iraq and America," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Source:&lt;a href="http://www.gatheringofeagles.org/view538163w1671375767.html"&gt;Armed Forces Press Service&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;How many of us ever thought we would see this day?

Obama also has picked retired Navy Admiral Dennis Blair to be director of national intelligence, overseeing all the nation's spy agencies, a Democratic official said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The selection pairs a top military man with a quintessential Washington insider - but that combination appeared to irk some key Senate Democrats, who expressed concern that Panetta does not have an intelligence background. “My position has consistently been that I believe the agency is best-served by having an intelligence professional in charge at this time,” said California Sen. Diane Feinstein, who will oversee Panetta's confirmation as chair of the Select Committee on Intelligence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SWMp3FLwWgI/AAAAAAAADBo/IgVNdhCAiK4/s1600-h/Leon_Panetta,_informal_photo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 277px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SWMp3FLwWgI/AAAAAAAADBo/IgVNdhCAiK4/s400/Leon_Panetta,_informal_photo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288116413724121602" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sen. Kit Bond (R-Mo.), the vice chairman of the committee, also questioned the choice of Panetta. “Job number one at the CIA is to track down and stop terrorists. In a post-9-11 world, intelligence experience would seem to be a prerequisite for the job of CIA Director. While I will reserve final judgment on President-elect Obama’s nomination for the leader of our terror-fighting agency, I will be looking hard at Panetta’s intelligence expertise and qualifications."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0109/17072.html"&gt;Story Here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/feinstein_panetta_pick/2009/01/05/168031.html?s=al&amp;promo_code=7702-1"&gt;Feinstein Furious Over Panetta Pick&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Uh..................Yeah!!! We will all be looking at Leon Panetta as CIA Director because he is NOT the most competant person on the block as far as National/Central Intelligence goes! Maybe Secretary of Commerce now that Bill Richardson is gone because of another Democrat Scandal, but the head of the CIA? C'mon Obama you had a winning team going there and now you are just screwing up and making promises to those that put you in office without thinking what is in the best interest of the Country!

Rod Blagojevich. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said Reid "has led the charge to deny the people of Illinois a voice" in the process. To be sure, Republicans like Cornyn would rather see a special election in Illinois because it would give the GOP a shot at capturing the seat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SWKCdM3dpYI/AAAAAAAADBQ/XuTEzC65ikE/s1600-h/090103_cornyn_isenstadt.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 297px; height: 223px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SWKCdM3dpYI/AAAAAAAADBQ/XuTEzC65ikE/s400/090103_cornyn_isenstadt.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287932350668055938" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to a Chicago Sun-Times report Saturday, Reid called Blagojevich on Dec. 3 and urged him to tap either state Veteran Affairs Director Tammy Duckworth or state Attorney General Lisa Madigan, both Democrats, to fill the seat. Blagojevich was arrested less than a week later on corruption charges that included allegations he was trying to sell the seat to the highest bidder. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The paper also reported that Reid advised the Illinois governor against selecting state Senate President Emil Jones, a mentor of President-elect Barack Obama, or Reps. Jesse Jackson Jr. and Danny Davis —all of whom, Reid reportedly said, would face difficulty holding on to the seat when it is up for election in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"For the last several weeks, Senator Reid has led the charge to deny the people of Illinois a voice in choosing their next U.S. senator in a special election," Cornyn said in a Saturday afternoon statement. "Now we learn that Senator Reid also took the extraordinary step to lobby against two sitting U.S. congressmen and the state senate Majority Leader in Illinois, and instead told Governor Blagojevich that he supported an appointment for an individual [Duckworth] who recently lost a U.S. House election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/R1HMXfuzkyI/AAAAAAAAA4Y/t36doe0RNzw/s1600-R/20071127RZ1AP-BaghdadHarry.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/R1HMXfuzkyI/AAAAAAAAA4Y/EkQE9HEB7IA/s320/20071127RZ1AP-BaghdadHarry.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5139113353833321250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The people of Illinois deserve a simple explanation from Senator Reid: Why does he believe these three Illinois officeholders are 'unelectable' to the U.S. Senate?"

Of Arms At Senate Door!</title><content type='html'>Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said on Sunday that "legal authority" exists under the Constitution to bar embattled Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's pick to fill President-elect Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat, but added there is also room to negotiate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Under the Constitution, Reid said, "We determine who sits in the Senate. And the House (of Representatives) determines who sits in the House. So there's clearly legal authority for us to do whatever we want to do. This goes back for generations."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking on NBC's "Meet the Press," Reid said he plans to meet on Wednesday with Blagojevich's choice for the Senate, Roland Burris, 71, the former Illinois attorney general, a fellow Democrat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/Rp0XshbGa7I/AAAAAAAAAfM/3EZ8-cPzu8s/s1600-h/Secret-Senate--13970.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/Rp0XshbGa7I/AAAAAAAAAfM/3EZ8-cPzu8s/s320/Secret-Senate--13970.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5088249207652248498" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asked if there was room for a possible settlement, Reid said, "I'm an old trial lawyer. There is always room to negotiate."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New members will be sworn in on Tuesday with the opening of the new Congress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reid called Burris a "tainted appointment" because of the governor's alleged misconduct, although he said he did not know of anything wrong with Burris himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blagojevich, who was arrested on December 9 and accused of trying to sell Obama's vacant seat, is facing impeachment in the Illinois legislature in the state capital of Springfield. Blagojevich has denied the corruption charges and has refused demands by Obama and others to resign as governor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reid said he planned to meet on Monday to discuss the matter with Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell. "I hope we can solve this issue on a bipartisan basis," Reid said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/R0MjIl1a18I/AAAAAAAAA0I/nzvWk-AQUSI/s1600-h/binreidImage2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/R0MjIl1a18I/AAAAAAAAA0I/nzvWk-AQUSI/s320/binreidImage2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134986630634592194" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asked if Burris will become a U.S. senator, Reid said, "It will be very difficult for that to occur." But he added, "Anything can happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090104/pl_nm/us_blagojevich_senate"&gt;Story Here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Oh This Is Priceless!

Blagojevich would take the imprudent step of appointing someone to the United States Senate who would serve under a shadow and be plagued by questions of impropriety," Senate Democrats said in a written statement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama sided with the Senate leadership, saying in a written statement that the governor's decision was "disappointing" and that he should resign so a "lawful and appropriate process of succession" can take place.&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I didn't figure this story would still have legs when I came back but it only get's funnier! I am on Blago's side! I think Burris should be seated. Blago has not been impeached, nor indicted, so as far as I can tell he's still legally the Governor of Illinois. Obama should recognise this and the Democrat's and let this guy in the Senate! Cant you see Harry Reid trying to keep the only black man OUT of the Senate?

But New York's 15th District is tailor-made for an entrenched Democratic incumbent to stay in office as long as he wants, so Rangel need not fear the wrath of the voters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only real threat to a congressional lifer like Rangel is internal, from within the ranks of his fellow Democrats in the U.S. House. If they want to strip him of his powerful Ways and Means gavel, they can. And, technically, that is what they are now mulling, with the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct -- otherwise known as the ethics committee -- set to report back on his supposed misdeeds just before the new Congress convenes in early January.

Berg is asking the court to stop state certification of electors to keep the Electoral College from &lt;a href="http://www.americasright.com/2008/08/berg-v-obama-at-americas-right.html"&gt;meeting Dec. 15&lt;/a&gt; and casting votes for Obama. He is also seeking to postpone the official vote count Jan. 6 until the court reaches a decision on his appeal. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=81550"&gt;Where's the proof Barack Obama was born in the U.S. and thus a "natural-born American" as required by Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution?

While the Federal Election Commission waived its right to respond to the complaint Nov. 18, there has been no word from Obama or the DNC. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The parties are not legally required to respond, and Berg said he doesn't expect them to do so. He believes the defendants will argue that he lacks standing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If they were going to respond, I get the feeling that it would have been in there by now," Berg told Schreiber. "The feeling may be that, if they respond, they could hold themselves out for perjury later on when we're successful. That's why, in the lower court, they just relied on a motion to dismiss based on standing. Here, they may not want to file an actual, specific response in the &lt;a href="http://worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=82530#"&gt;Supreme Court&lt;/a&gt; for fear they'll be held to it later." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Berg referenced nationwide efforts to demand Obama produce an original birth certificate.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We're finding that there is a great interest across the United States," Berg said. "I've been on talk show after talk show, and the more the case is discussed, the more people are made aware of it and are disgusted by the fact that Obama just won't simply produce the credentials showing he's qualified. Hopefully, some authority will &lt;b&gt;DEMAND IT.&lt;/b&gt;"&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/STiDB_IYApI/AAAAAAAAC84/kWuRC-2vPQA/s1600-h/SCOTUSVigil.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 91px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/STiDB_IYApI/AAAAAAAAC84/kWuRC-2vPQA/s400/SCOTUSVigil.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276111033614205586" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=81550"&gt;SIGN THE PETITION&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gatheringofeagles.org/view618247w4571329236.html"&gt;Story Here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theobamafile.com/ObamaLatest.htm"&gt;The Obama File&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.therightsideoflife.com/"&gt;The Right Side Of Life&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://f2a.org/"&gt;Obama Forgery.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.plainsradio.com/chat.html"&gt;My Plains Radio&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://investigatingobama.blogspot.com/"&gt;Investigating Obama Blog..("The Natural Born Citizen Challenge")&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font color="darkblue"&gt;I am NOT letting go of this story until we see the Vault Copy of Barack Hussein Obama's Real Birth Certificate!

Donofrio against Nina Wells, the New Jersey secretary of state, and questions whether Obama is a "natural-born citizen" as required by Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If four of the nine justices vote to hear the case in full, oral argument may be scheduled. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would seem a simple matter to resolve. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barack Obama could have put this issue to rest long ago by producing a complete birth certificate from Hawaii. Instead, he has chosen to stonewall the matter, citing a website post of what can only be characterized as a partial representation of a birth certificate – one that has been criticized as a forgery. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether the birth certificate posted on various websites is genuine or not is almost beside the point as to his eligibility. Since Hawaii was known to register foreign births in the 1960s, the portion of the certificate released by the Obama campaign proves nothing, since it does not reveal such details as the hospital in which he was allegedly born. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, some of Obama's own Kenyan relatives claim to have been present at his birth in Mombasa. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This controversy, which some have dismissed as frivolous, is as serious as the literal meaning of the Constitution itself. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I have stated before, I have little doubt a thorough investigation will prove Obama is qualified to serve the office of the presidency as a "natural-born citizen." I don't believe his campaign would ever have been successful with the specter of legal ineligibility hanging over his head. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless, I think it is imperative to be faithful to the Constitution and to offer the American people full disclosure on such a fundamentally important matter. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearly, Obama doesn't think so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what about our U.S. Supreme Court? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do the justices have the courage to face up to this question? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe they will be much more likely to do so – to take this matter seriously – if they see real demonstrations of public interest. I know of no better way for you to show that interest than to sign &lt;a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=81550"&gt;WND's petition.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=81585"&gt;This petition was launched just over a week ago and now boasts more than 120,000 names.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All those signing it are receiving updates on controversy. The names will be delivered to the U.S. Supreme Court in time for its review Friday. This week will represent your last chance to impact that review. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php/index.php?pageId=81865"&gt;The day this petition campaign was launched, a judge in Hawaii dismissed one challenge to produce the birth certificate stating he did not believe there was sufficient public interest demonstrated.&lt;/a&gt; Let's be sure the same is not the case with the Supreme Court review. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you will join me in this fight for truth, justice and the American way by &lt;a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=81550"&gt;signing the petition.&lt;/a&gt; Help me spread the word. Let's turn up the heat. Send this column and the petition far and wide. Share it with your neighbors. Honor the Constitution. Save this country's most vital institutions and its honor. Seek the truth. Demand accountability. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time is running out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Electoral College is due to convene Dec. 15 – in less than a month. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barack Obama is to be sworn in as the next president Jan. 20 – less than two months from now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you believe the American people have a right to know for certain their next president is constitutionally eligible for the job? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without a chance to inspect that birth certificate for themselves, do you think we can ever be certain? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the Constitution is not taken seriously as concerns the eligibility of the president, is it likely to be taken seriously in other matters? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you don't take responsibility and initiative on this issue, I am convinced no one else will. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take your stand for accountability, truth, the rule of law and the Constitution. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=81550"&gt;Sign the petition now.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/?pageId=82370"&gt;Complete Story And Link's Here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SHWubNkSPlI/AAAAAAAABy0/BU5EYvQVD8c/s1600-h/BO_Birth_Certificate.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SHWubNkSPlI/AAAAAAAABy0/BU5EYvQVD8c/s400/BO_Birth_Certificate.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221271125527510610" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="darkred"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Does this look like an authentic Birth Certificate To You?

1&lt;/a&gt;, no one can be sworn into office as president of the United States without being a natural born citizen;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whereas, there is sufficient controversy within the citizenry of the United States as to whether presidential election winner Barack Obama was actually born in Hawaii as he claims;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whereas, Barack Obama has refused repeated calls to release publicly his entire Hawaiian birth certificate, which would include the actual hospital that performed the delivery;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whereas, lawsuits filed in several states seeking only proof of the basic minimal standard of eligibility have been rebuffed;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whereas, Hawaii at the time of Obama's birth allowed births that took place in foreign countries to

the complete birth certificate of Barack Obama, including the actual city and hospital of birth, and make that document available to the American people for

type='html'>&lt;b&gt;Obama Keeps Defense Secretary Robert Gates&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Defense Secretary Robert Gates will keep the top Pentagon job for at least the first year of the Obama administration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was very strong support for Gates among Democrats, said one Democratic source in the Senate whose boss was intimately involved in bringing Obama and Gates together to see if they were compatible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama's decision to keep Gates follows speculation, encouraged before the election by Obama's aides, that Gates would stay on for an interim period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/STBTgiyj-mI/AAAAAAAAC8Y/j69Mo0fYss4/s1600-h/thumbs_up.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

President Bush nominated Gates to replace Donald Rumsfeld after the 2006 midterm elections, when the war in Iraq was descending into chaos and became a political liability for Republicans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gates will continue to preside over two U.S. wars, in Iraq and Afghanistan, that Bush launched as part of the larger war on terror.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are several issues on which Gates and Obama disagree, including missile defense. Gates supports placing a missile defense system in Europe, but Obama already has suggested that he won't sign off on it until the technology has been proven capable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/STBTWr9ITkI/AAAAAAAAC8Q/6CeE7Eig4-E/s1600-h/112608142823_robert-gates_portrait.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 334px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/STBTWr9ITkI/AAAAAAAAC8Q/6CeE7Eig4-E/s400/112608142823_robert-gates_portrait.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273806812872199746" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A formal announcement is expected immediately after the Thanksgiving holiday weekend as part of an unveiling of the new national security team, which is expected to include Sen.

Is he beginning to understand the nature of the danger we face if we do, that the terrorist's will have safe haven's to plot and plan to attack us again? And that we would have to go right back to Iraq should it decend into chaos? Is Obama beginning to see the underlying danger that Iran poses to the United States? I surely hope so. But I do applaud this decision!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8571231-6653773009492452219?l=mariestwocents.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mariestwocents.blogspot.com/feeds/6653773009492452219/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8571231&amp;postID=6653773009492452219' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8571231/posts/default/6653773009492452219'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8571231/posts/default/6653773009492452219'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mariestwocents.blogspot.com/2008/11/score-one-for-obama.html' title='Score One For Obama'/><author><name>Marie's Two Cents</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12024589000490517815</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/210/2132/320/ATT33377691313131313.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/STBTgiyj-mI/AAAAAAAAC8Y/j69Mo0fYss4/s72-c/thumbs_up.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8571231.post-3673279895604134177</id><published>2008-11-26T18:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T15:34:50.562-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Happy Thanksgiving'/><title type='text'>Happy Thanksgiving</title><content type='html'>&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/R0Mjd11a1-I/AAAAAAAAA0Y/tosx7uDXIEM/s1600-h/IndianCorn.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/R0Mjd11a1-I/AAAAAAAAA0Y/tosx7uDXIEM/s320/IndianCorn.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134986995706812386" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/R0MkC11a2AI/AAAAAAAAA0o/bKs1mBWGiwY/s1600-h/ThanksWish.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/R0MkC11a2AI/AAAAAAAAA0o/bKs1mBWGiwY/s320/ThanksWish.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134987631361972226" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/R0Mi311a17I/AAAAAAAAA0A/EhHmH-vhnXQ/s1600-h/BanThanks2.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/R0Mi311a17I/AAAAAAAAA0A/EhHmH-vhnXQ/s320/BanThanks2.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134986342871783346" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SS4IlvbTARI/AAAAAAAAC8I/31zrzIKlMZg/s1600-h/20081126-3_p112608jb-0093-515h.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 308px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SS4IlvbTARI/AAAAAAAAC8I/31zrzIKlMZg/s400/20081126-3_p112608jb-0093-515h.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273161658176569618" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;President George W.

Article II, Section I of the United States Constitution, states, in pertinent part, as follows:&lt;br /&gt;"No Person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the&lt;br /&gt;adoption of this constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President;"&lt;br /&gt;63. Senator Barack H. Obama is a candidate for the Office of the President of the United&lt;br /&gt;States. However, to assume such office, Senator Obama must meet the qualifications specified for the&lt;br /&gt;Office of the President of the United States, which includes that he must be a "natural born" citizen.&lt;br /&gt;Senator Obama has failed to demonstrate that he is a "natural born" citizen. There are other legal&lt;br /&gt;challenges before various state and federal courts regarding aspects of lost or dual citizenship concerning&lt;br /&gt;Senator Obama. Those challenges, in and of themselves, demonstrate Petitioners’ argument that&lt;br /&gt;reasonable doubt exists as to the eligibility of the Democratic Party’s nominee for President.&lt;br /&gt;64. SOS is responsible for ensuring the validity of the State election process by, among other&lt;br /&gt;things, verifying the qualifications of the voters, approving the ballots and the candidates, supervising the&lt;br /&gt;counting of the ballots, and certifying the results. This certification of the vote by SOS, based upon&lt;br /&gt;which Electors received the highest number of votes in the state, is the method provided for in California&lt;br /&gt;8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDATE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;law for ascertaining which Electors are appointed to vote for president (California Elections Code §&lt;br /&gt;15505, 3 U.S.C. § 6). On December 1, or as soon as soon as the election results have been received from&lt;br /&gt;all counties in the state, SOS shall certify the names of the ascertained Electors to the Governor, and then&lt;br /&gt;transmit to each presidential Elector a certificate of election (California Elections Code § 15505). The&lt;br /&gt;Governor then issues and seals a Certificate of Ascertainment which is delivered to the Electors by&lt;br /&gt;December 15 (3 U.S.C. § 6), who then meet to sign the Certificate of Vote (Federal Election Code §&lt;br /&gt;192.006). The office of SOS is intended to be non-biased and to provide the critical sense of fairness and&lt;br /&gt;impartiality necessary for the people to have faith in the fundamental underpinnings of the democratic&lt;br /&gt;basis for our elections.&lt;br /&gt;65. There is a reasonable and common expectation by the voters that to qualify for the ballot,&lt;br /&gt;the individuals running for office must meet minimum qualifications as outlined in the federal and state&lt;br /&gt;Constitutions and statutes, and that compliance with those minimum qualifications has been confirmed by&lt;br /&gt;the officials overseeing the election process. Heretofore, only a signed statement from the candidate&lt;br /&gt;attesting to his or her meeting those qualifications was requested and received by SOS, with no&lt;br /&gt;verification demanded. This practice represents a much lower standard than that demanded of one when&lt;br /&gt;requesting a California driver’s license. Since SOS has, as its core, the mission of certifying and&lt;br /&gt;establishing the validity of the election process, this writ seeks a Court Order barring SOS from certifying&lt;br /&gt;the California Electors until documentary proof that Senator Obama is a “natural born” citizen of the&lt;br /&gt;United States of America is received by her. This proof could include items such as his original birth&lt;br /&gt;certificate, showing the name of the hospital and the name and the signature of the doctor, all of his&lt;br /&gt;passports with immigration stamps, and verification from the governments where the candidate has&lt;br /&gt;resided, verifying that he did not, and does not, hold citizenship of these countries, and any other&lt;br /&gt;documents that certify an individual’s citizenship and/or qualification for office.&lt;br /&gt;66. In the case of individuals seeking the Office of President of the United States, the United&lt;br /&gt;States Constitution provides for a system of Electors, wherein citizens of the respective states have a state&lt;br /&gt;9&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDATE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;controlled election in which Electors representing the interests of the respective candidates for President&lt;br /&gt;on the state ballot are elected to represent the interests of the respective state in the Electoral College.&lt;br /&gt;Thus, there is no federal ballot controlled by the federal government. There is a California State ballot&lt;br /&gt;where voters elect Electors who in turn represent the named candidate for office on the ballot. That is one&lt;br /&gt;more reason why SOS has responsibility for the certification of not just the counts of the ballots cast, but,&lt;br /&gt;also, the propriety of the contents of the ballot. In case Senator Obama cannot present proper&lt;br /&gt;documentation verifying his citizenship, he cannot be elected President of the United States, and SOS has&lt;br /&gt;a duty to bar the casting of votes by California Electors in support of his candidacy.&lt;br /&gt;67. To avert a constitutional crisis which would certainly accrue after the election through&lt;br /&gt;laborious legal challenges, this writ seeks to resolve such complaints. It was incumbent on the candidates&lt;br /&gt;to present the necessary documentation confirming his citizenship, but, to date, Senator Obama has failed&lt;br /&gt;to do so.&lt;br /&gt;68. At this point, Senator Obama has not allowed independent or official access to his vault&lt;br /&gt;(original hospital) birth records and supporting hospital records. Senator Obama’s citizenship status has&lt;br /&gt;been, and is being, challenged in 17 different legal actions in various federal and state courts, which&lt;br /&gt;challenges cast doubt on the validity of the electoral process, regardless of outcome, if not resolved prior&lt;br /&gt;to the certification of the election by the Electors. SOS is specifically charged with certifying and&lt;br /&gt;guaranteeing the validity of official documents and overseeing the elections in California, such that the&lt;br /&gt;people’s confidence in the fundamental aspect of democracy is maintained. To date, in this regard, SOS&lt;br /&gt;has not carried out that fundamental duty.&lt;br /&gt;69. This writ requests a court order barring the SOS from both certifying to the Governor the&lt;br /&gt;names of the California Electors, and from transmitting to each presidential Elector a Certificate of&lt;br /&gt;Election, until such documentary proof is produced and verified showing that is a “natural born” citizen&lt;br /&gt;of the United States and does not hold citizenship in Indonesia, Kenya or Great Britain. In addition, this&lt;br /&gt;writ requests a court order barring the California Electors from signing the Certificate of Vote until such&lt;br /&gt;10&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDATE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;documentary proof is produced and verified showing that Senator Obama is a “natural born” citizen of&lt;br /&gt;the United States and does not hold citizenship in Indonesia, Kenya or Great Britain.&lt;br /&gt;70. Should Senator Obama be discovered, after he takes office, to be ineligible for the Office&lt;br /&gt;of President of the United States of America and, thereby, his election declared void, Petitioners, as well&lt;br /&gt;as other Americans, will suffer irreparable harm in that an usurper will be sitting as the President of the&lt;br /&gt;United States, and none of the treaties, laws, or executive orders signed by him will be valid or legal.&lt;br /&gt;71. 3 United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 8 provides, “The electors shall vote for President&lt;br /&gt;and Vice President, respectively, in the manner directed by the Constitution.” This federal statute confers&lt;br /&gt;upon each elector an affirmative duty to discover whether the candidate for President for which the&lt;br /&gt;elector is seeking election is a “natural born” citizen. Otherwise, the elector would not know if his vote&lt;br /&gt;was being cast in the “manner directed by the Constitution.”&lt;br /&gt;72. Given this constitutionally mandated duty, PETITIONERS have standing to bring this&lt;br /&gt;Writ before this Court.&lt;br /&gt;73. A growing number of questions have arisen in litigation in at least 10 states contesting&lt;br /&gt;whether Senator John McCain or Senator Barack Obama are “natural born” citizens and, therefore,&lt;br /&gt;constitutionally eligible to be entrusted with the Office of President of the United States. In the litigation&lt;br /&gt;against Senator Obama, allegations have been made that his admitted dual citizenship in Indonesia, and&lt;br /&gt;lack of evidence that he renounced the same, caused a loss of his United States Citizenship as a matter of&lt;br /&gt;law. Moreover, evidence released by the Obama campaign purporting to be a “Certification of Live&lt;br /&gt;Birth” on its face appears to be of questionable authenticity. One of the many problems with this&lt;br /&gt;evidence is that the border design differs from the border designs of other Certifications of Live Birth&lt;br /&gt;printed during the same time period. All these questions about both of the candidates are still unresolved.&lt;br /&gt;In the course of those lawsuits, some of which have been dismissed, it has been determined that there&lt;br /&gt;exists no designated official in the federal government, or the government of the states, directly charged&lt;br /&gt;with the responsibility of determining whether any Presidential candidate meets the qualifications of&lt;br /&gt;11&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDATE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article II of the Constitution of the United States. In most states, that responsibility is vested with the&lt;br /&gt;political parties, all of which have a conflict of interest in making any such determination, and none of&lt;br /&gt;which have been forthcoming with information or evidence verifying any candidate’s compliance with&lt;br /&gt;the eligibility requirements.&lt;br /&gt;74. A press release was issued on October 31, 2008, by the Hawaii Department of Health by&lt;br /&gt;its Director, Dr. Chiyome Fukino. Dr. Fukino said that she had “personally seen and verified that the&lt;br /&gt;Hawaii State Department of Health has Senator Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance&lt;br /&gt;with state policies and procedures.” That statement failed to resolve any of the questions being raised by&lt;br /&gt;litigation and press accounts. Being “on record” could mean either that its contents are in the computer&lt;br /&gt;database of the department or there is an actual “vault” original.&lt;br /&gt;75. Further, the report does not say whether the birth certificate in the “record” is a&lt;br /&gt;Certificate of Live Birth or a Certificate of Hawaiian Birth. In Hawaii, a Certificate of Live Birth&lt;br /&gt;resulting from hospital documentation, including a signature of an attending physician, is different from a&lt;br /&gt;Certificate of Hawaiian Birth. For births prior to 1972, a Certificate of Hawaiian Birth was the result of&lt;br /&gt;the uncorroborated testimony of one witness and was not generated by a hospital. Such a Certificate&lt;br /&gt;could be obtained up to one year from the date of the child’s birth. For that reason, its value as prima&lt;br /&gt;facie evidence is limited and could be overcome if any of the allegations of substantial evidence of birth&lt;br /&gt;outside Hawaii can be obtained. The vault (long Version) birth certificate, per Hawaiian Statute 883.176&lt;br /&gt;allows the birth in another State or another country to be registered in Hawaii. Box 7C of the vault&lt;br /&gt;Certificate of Live Birth contains a question, whether the birth was in Hawaii or another State or Country.&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, the only way to verify the exact location of birth is to review a certified copy or the original&lt;br /&gt;vault Certificate of Live Birth and compare the name of the hospital and the name and the signature of the&lt;br /&gt;doctor against the birthing records on file at the hospital noted on the Certificate of the Live Birth.&lt;br /&gt;76. An unprecedented and looming constitutional crisis awaits if a President elected by the&lt;br /&gt;popular vote and the electoral vote does not constitutionally qualify to serve in that capacity. In addition,&lt;br /&gt;12&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDATE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;if Senator Obama is not a “natural born” citizen and not eligible for presidency, Senator Obama will be&lt;br /&gt;subject to the criminal Provisions of the California Elections Code, stating, “Any person who files or&lt;br /&gt;submit for filing a nomination paper or declaration of candidacy knowing that it, or any part of it, has&lt;br /&gt;been made falsely is punishable by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000) or by&lt;br /&gt;imprisonment in the state prison for 16 months or two or three years or by both the fine and&lt;br /&gt;imprisonment” (California Elections Code § 18203). Further, Senator Obama, SOS, the Governor of the&lt;br /&gt;State of California, and all of the California Electors may be subject to the penal provisions of the&lt;br /&gt;California Elections Code which states, “Any person who commits fraud and any person who aids or&lt;br /&gt;abets fraud or attempts to aid or abet fraud, in connection with any vote cast, to be cast, or attempted to be&lt;br /&gt;cast, is guilty of felony, punishable by imprisonment for 16 months or two or three years” (California&lt;br /&gt;Elections Code § 18500 ).&lt;br /&gt;77. The Twentieth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides, “if the President&lt;br /&gt;elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall&lt;br /&gt;have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a&lt;br /&gt;Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or in the manner in&lt;br /&gt;which one who is to act shall be elected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice&lt;br /&gt;President shall have qualified.” Thus, if Senator Obama cannot take office due to his citizenship,&lt;br /&gt;succession to the Presidency is set.&lt;br /&gt;II&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND OF THE CASE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;78. The Office of the Secretary of State of California is the California agency responsible for&lt;br /&gt;certifying candidates for inclusion on the ballot. Historically, California Secretaries of State have&lt;br /&gt;exercised their due diligence by reviewing necessary background documents, verifying that the candidates&lt;br /&gt;that were submitted by the respective political parties as eligible for the ballot were indeed eligible. In&lt;br /&gt;1968, the Peace and Freedom Party submitted the name of Eldridge Cleaver as a qualified candidate for&lt;br /&gt;13&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDATE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President of the United States. The then SOS, Mr. Frank Jordan, found that, according to Mr. Cleaver’s&lt;br /&gt;birth certificate, he was only 34 years old, one year shy of the 35 years of age needed to be on the ballot&lt;br /&gt;as a candidate for President. Using his administrative powers, Mr. Jordan removed Mr. Cleaver from the&lt;br /&gt;ballot. Mr. Cleaver unsuccessfully challenged this decision to the Supreme Court of the State of&lt;br /&gt;California, and, later, to the Supreme Court of the United States. Similarly, in 1984, the Peace and&lt;br /&gt;Freedom Party listed Mr. Larry Holmes as an eligible candidate in the Presidential primary. When the&lt;br /&gt;then SOS checked his eligibility, it was found that Mr. Holmes was similarly not eligible, and Mr.&lt;br /&gt;Holmes was removed from the ballot. Currently, we have a similar situation in that the Democratic Party&lt;br /&gt;has submitted the name of Senator Barack Obama as candidate for President.&lt;br /&gt;79. However, there are a number of separate reasons that would make Senator Obama&lt;br /&gt;ineligible to serve as President of the United States. On August 21, 2008, Mr. Phillip J. Berg, former&lt;br /&gt;Deputy Attorney General of the State of Pennsylvania, filed a legal action against Senator Obama and the&lt;br /&gt;Democratic National Committee. With his action, and in the subsequent appeal to the Supreme Court of&lt;br /&gt;the United States, Mr. Berg provided documents to the effect that Senator Obama was born in what is&lt;br /&gt;now Kenya (the British East African Protectorate of Zanzibar at the time) and that his paternal&lt;br /&gt;grandmother was present at his birth. Senator Obama claims that he was born in Hawaii. According to&lt;br /&gt;statements made by his half-sister, Maya Soetoro Ng, he was born in Kapiolani Hospital in Hawaii.&lt;br /&gt;According to his biography posted on Wikipedia, Senator Obama was born in Queens Hospital in Hawaii.&lt;br /&gt;However, he has never provided the original hospital birth certificate from 1961, with the name of the&lt;br /&gt;hospital and the name and the signature of the doctor in attendance. All that Senator Obama has posted&lt;br /&gt;on his website is a Registry of Live Birth (short version), obtained in 2007, that does not provide the&lt;br /&gt;name of the hospital or the doctor. Clearly, one human being cannot be born in three different places.&lt;br /&gt;Hawaii Revised Statute 338-178 allows registration of birth in Hawaii for a child that was born outside of&lt;br /&gt;Hawaii to parents who, for a year preceding the child’s birth, claimed Hawaii as their place of residence.&lt;br /&gt;The only way to know where Senator Obama was actually born is to view Senator Obama’s original&lt;br /&gt;14&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDATE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;birth certificate from 1961 that shows the name of the hospital and the name and signature of the doctor&lt;br /&gt;that delivered him. From August 21, 2008, for over two months, Senator Obama has refused to provide&lt;br /&gt;his original birth certificate, even though, in his book, Dreams of My Father, page 26, he states, “… I&lt;br /&gt;found the article folded between my birth certificate and old immunization records…” which shows that&lt;br /&gt;he clearly has his birth certificate, or that he lied in his book. Particularly telling is the fact that not one&lt;br /&gt;single person has come forward, not a doctor, not a nurse, not a hospital administrator, nor anyone else, to&lt;br /&gt;state that he or she was present during this birth, except for Obama's paternal grandmother, who affirmed&lt;br /&gt;that she "was in the delivery room in Kenya when he was born Aug. 4, 1961.” Additionally, when Mr.&lt;br /&gt;Berg served subpoenas on the hospitals mentioned above, Senator Obama refused to sign a consent form&lt;br /&gt;that would allow the hospitals to release any of his information. Instead, Senator Obama has hired three&lt;br /&gt;law firms to defend himself, and has challenged the action by Mr. Berg on a technicality, claiming that an&lt;br /&gt;ordinary citizen does not have standing to bring the suit. This matter is currently being reviewed by the&lt;br /&gt;U.S. Supreme Court. The parties in this case have standing to bring this litigation, due to the fact that Dr.&lt;br /&gt;Keyes and Dr. Drake, Sr., are candidates on the California ballot for President and Vice President of the&lt;br /&gt;United States, and Mr. Robinson is an Elector for the Keyes-Drake ticket, and Vice Chairman of&lt;br /&gt;America’s Independent Party, of Fenton, Michigan, which nominated Dr. Keyes for President. He is also&lt;br /&gt;a Chairman of the American Independent Party (California), which nominated Dr. Keyes and Dr. Drake&lt;br /&gt;for President and Vice President, respectively. Based on the foregoing, it is imperative for SOS to be&lt;br /&gt;provided proof that Senator Obama is a “natural born” citizen.&lt;br /&gt;80. If he was born in Hawaii, there are four (4) other obstacles to Senator Obama’s&lt;br /&gt;eligibility. In and about 1967, Senator Obama moved to Indonesia, took the last name of his stepfather,&lt;br /&gt;Soetoro, and went by the name Barry Soetoro. In original legal action filed by Mr. Berg, he presented&lt;br /&gt;Senator Obama’s school registration, showing him registered as Barry Soetoro, Citizenship-Indonesian,&lt;br /&gt;Religion Islam, signed by L. Soetoro. From 1945, Indonesia has not allowed dual citizenship and,&lt;br /&gt;therefore, Ms. Dunham-Obama-Soetoro, Senator Obama’s mother, had to relinquish her son’s U.S.&lt;br /&gt;15&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDATE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;citizenship in order to obtain Indonesian citizenship for him, which would make him ineligible to become&lt;br /&gt;a United States President. Additionally, the United States could not allow dual citizenship with Indonesia&lt;br /&gt;at that time, as Indonesia did not allow dual citizenship, and it was prohibited by the Hague Convention&lt;br /&gt;of 1930, as interfering with the internal affairs of another sovereign Country.&lt;br /&gt;81. In addition, upon return to the United States in and around 1971-1972, Senator Obama&lt;br /&gt;would have been required to go to the then current immigration procedures to regain his U.S. citizenship.&lt;br /&gt;There is no record of him ever doing that. Even if he had done so, he would be considered a naturalized&lt;br /&gt;citizen and not a “natural born” citizen.&lt;br /&gt;82. Additionally, assuming Senator Obama was born in what is now Kenya, at the time of&lt;br /&gt;Senator Obama’s birth in 1961, (now) Kenya was the British Protectorate of Zanzibar and Senator Obama&lt;br /&gt;was automatically accorded a form of British citizenship under Section 32(1) of the British Nationality&lt;br /&gt;Act of 1948, effective date January 28, 1949, based on his father’s citizenship.&lt;br /&gt;83. Finally, in 1981, Senator Obama traveled to Pakistan, when there was a ban for U.S.&lt;br /&gt;citizens to travel to Pakistan. The only logical possibility for him to do so was by using one of his other&lt;br /&gt;passports: Indonesian, Kenyan, or British.&lt;br /&gt;84. Based on all of the above, it is the duty of the SOS to obtain proper documentation of&lt;br /&gt;Senator Obama’s citizenship to confirm his eligibility for the office of the President of the United States.&lt;br /&gt;85. On October 25, 2008, SOS was contacted, via e-mail, by Orly Taitz, Esq., discussing the&lt;br /&gt;issues mentioned above. SOS has acknowledged receipt of said e-mail and sent a response. As of that&lt;br /&gt;time, SOS was on notice and had a duty to act. Ms. Taitz had a subsequent conversation with the election&lt;br /&gt;analyst of SOS Office, Ms. Philly Crosby. Ms. Taitz requested an administrative hearing on the matter in&lt;br /&gt;question. Ms. Crosby stated that she would discuss the matter with Ms. Bowen and SOS’ General&lt;br /&gt;Counsel, Ms. Pam Giarizzo, and that Ms. Giarizzo would telephone Ms. Taitz to discuss the issue. Ms.&lt;br /&gt;Taitz followed this conversation with a second e-mail, confirming all the details of the conversation. As&lt;br /&gt;yet, SOS has taken no steps to request the necessary documents from Senator Obama. It appears that Ms.&lt;br /&gt;16&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDATE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bowen is intending to certify Senator Obama, and to certify his Electors, and not protect the people of the&lt;br /&gt;State of California by enforcing its laws. As a result of SOS declining to act pursuant to the above&lt;br /&gt;described legal obligations, the only remedy is to request relief from the Superior Court of California, and&lt;br /&gt;seek injunctive relief available to bar SOS from certifying the California Electoral votes until such&lt;br /&gt;documentary proof that Senator Obama’s United States citizenship is produced.&lt;br /&gt;III&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;EFFECT OR FAILURE TO GRANT INJUNCTIVE RELIEF&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;86. Failing to officially and publically validate the status of the citizenship claims of Senator&lt;br /&gt;Obama will cast a pall of doubt on the election process and taint the election results themselves. A proper&lt;br /&gt;inquiry into Senator Obama’s eligibility will not constitute a hardship on Senator Obama, and it will not&lt;br /&gt;deny his voters the right to vote for him, since this very right is dependent on his eligibility for the office&lt;br /&gt;as a “natural born” citizen. If Senator Obama is not a “natural born” citizen, and, therefore, not eligible to&lt;br /&gt;serve as President, no hardship on him or any other Respondent can be shown. On the contrary, lack of&lt;br /&gt;the relief that is prayed for will constitute an insurmountable hardship on the voters of the State of&lt;br /&gt;California.&lt;br /&gt;87. Failure to grant the relief sought would allow a potentially corrupted, fraudulent,&lt;br /&gt;nomination and election process to continue. If indeed, Senator Obama knew that he is not eligible for&lt;br /&gt;the presidency, he would be subject to California Election Code Section 18203, which states, “Any person&lt;br /&gt;who files or submits for filing a nomination paper or declaration of candidacy that it or any part of it has&lt;br /&gt;been made falsely is punishable by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) or by&lt;br /&gt;imprisonment in the state prison for 16 months or two or three years or by both fine and imprisonment”.&lt;br /&gt;Additionally, he would be subject to California Elections Code Section 18500 that states, “Any person&lt;br /&gt;who commits fraud and any person who aids or abets fraud or attempts to aid or abet fraud, in connection&lt;br /&gt;with any vote cast, to be cast, or attempted to be cast, is guilty of a felony, punishable by imprisonment&lt;br /&gt;for 16 months or two or three years”. Clearly it is imperative to vet Senator Obama's eligibility for&lt;br /&gt;17&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDATE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;presidency and resolve this issue prior to the certification of the election results by the electors.&lt;br /&gt;88. Failure to grant the relief sought, demanding that SOS be ordered to verify the&lt;br /&gt;constitutionally required qualifications of Senator Obama not only allows, but promotes, an&lt;br /&gt;overwhelming degree of disrespect for our Constitution and for our electoral process, and creates such a&lt;br /&gt;lack of confidence of voters in the primary and electoral process itself, that it would confirm a common&lt;br /&gt;belief that no politician has to obey the laws of this Country, respect our election process, or follow the&lt;br /&gt;United States Constitution.&lt;br /&gt;89. Petitioners Keyes and Drake will be irreparably harmed by being unable to compete in a&lt;br /&gt;fair and unbiased election. Petitioner Robinson will be harmed in that he will not be able to perform his&lt;br /&gt;duties as an Elector in voting for the candidate that is eligible to become the President of the United States&lt;br /&gt;under the law. It is incumbent on SOS to enforce the eligibility requirements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;PRAYER&lt;br /&gt;WHEREFORE, Petitioners respectfully prays:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;90. That the court issue a peremptory writ in the first instance barring Respondent Secretary&lt;br /&gt;of State of California, Ms. Bowen, from both certifying to the Governor the names of the California&lt;br /&gt;Electors, and from transmitting to each presidential Elector a Certificate of Election, until such&lt;br /&gt;documentary proof is produced and verified showing that Senator Obama is a “natural born” citizen of the&lt;br /&gt;United States and does not hold citizenship of Indonesia, Kenya or Great Britain. In addition, this writ&lt;br /&gt;requests that the court issue a peremptory writ barring Respondent California Electors from signing the&lt;br /&gt;Certificate of Vote until such documentary proof is produced and verified showing that Senator Obama is&lt;br /&gt;a “natural born” citizen of the United States and does not hold citizenship of Indonesia, Kenya or Great&lt;br /&gt;Britain.&lt;br /&gt;91. For Petitioners’ attorney’s fees.&lt;br /&gt;// //&lt;br /&gt;// //&lt;br /&gt;18&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDATE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;92. For such costs of this proceeding and fees as are applicable by law; and such further relief&lt;br /&gt;as the Court deems just and proper.&lt;br /&gt;Respectfully submitted on November 12, 2008&lt;br /&gt;___SIGNATURE VIA FAX_______&lt;br /&gt;Gary G. Kreep, Esq.&lt;br /&gt;Attorney for Petitioners&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SHWubNkSPlI/AAAAAAAABy0/BU5EYvQVD8c/s1600-h/BO_Birth_Certificate.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SHWubNkSPlI/AAAAAAAABy0/BU5EYvQVD8c/s400/BO_Birth_Certificate.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221271125527510610" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font color="darkred"&gt;And This Is All We Have Seen&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gee Alan, you question this now? We have been questioning this for 2 years! I bet Obama block's any attempt's to prove his citizenship. Even though his Kenyan Grandmother swears she was in Kenya witnessing the birth of her Grandson Barack, and the Other Grandmother is dead! Hmm it seems all the winesses to Barack's birth are either written off as liars, or dead. Interesting! But good luck Alan, you wont get anywhere, but I would like to see how far they go to shut you up too!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div

Ohio Coal Association (OCA), today issued the following statement in response to just-released remarks from Senator Barack Obama about the nation's coal industry. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Regardless of the timing or method of the release of these remarks, the message from the Democratic candidate for President could not be clearer: the Obama-Biden ticket spells disaster for America's coal industry and the tens of thousands of Americans who work in it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"These undisputed, audio-taped remarks, which include comments from Senator Obama like 'I haven't been some coal booster' and 'if they want to build [coal plants], they can, but it will bankrupt them' are extraordinarily misguided. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It's evident that this campaign has been pandering in states like Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, Indiana and Pennsylvania to attempt to generate votes from coal supporters, while keeping his true agenda hidden from the state's voters. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Senator Obama has revealed himself to be nothing more than a short- sighted, inexperienced politician willing to say anything to get a vote. But today, the nation's coal industry and those who support it have a better understanding of his true mission, to 'bankrupt' our industry, put tens of thousands out of work and cause unprecedented increases in electricity prices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SMwBbl6RoIs&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SMwBbl6RoIs&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In addition to providing an affordable, reliable source of low-cost electricity, domestic coal holds the key to our nation's long-term energy security - a goal that cannot be overlooked during this time of international instability and economic uncertainty. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Few policy areas are more important to our economic future than energy issues. As voters head to the polls tomorrow, it is essential they remember that access to reliable, affordable, domestic energy supplies is essential to economic growth and stability." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Ohio Coal Association (OCA) is a non-profit trade association representing the interests of Ohio's underground and surface coal mining producers. The OCA represents nearly 40 coal producing companies and more than 50 Associate Members, which include suppliers and consultants to the mining industry, coal sales agents and brokers and allied industries. The Ohio Coal Association is committed to advancing the development and utilization of Ohio coal as an abundant, economic and environmentally sound energy source.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=prnw.20081103.CLM078&amp;show_article=1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wvrecord.com/news/215679-coal-official-calls-obama-comments-unbelievable"&gt;Coal Official Calls Obama's Comment's Unbelieveable&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/11/02/politics/fromtheroad/entry4564043.shtml"&gt;Palin Unleashes New Attack Against Obama On Coal&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Can anyone believe this miserable moron?

That will create a market in which whatever technologies are out there that are being presented, whatever power plants that are being built, that they would have to meet the rigors of that market and the ratcheted down caps that are being placed, imposed every year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/p-j-gladnick/2008/11/02/hidden-audio-obama-tells-sf-chronicle-he-will-bankrupt-coal-industry"&gt;Story Here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Can you believe this?

The LA Times newspaper refuses to release the video for thin reasons, journalistically speaking. See the evidence and story below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Rashid Khalidi&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SQiYNY-679I/AAAAAAAAC3g/7izM-H3eFeA/s1600-h/Rashid_Khalidi_LA_Times.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 234px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SQiYNY-679I/AAAAAAAAC3g/7izM-H3eFeA/s400/Rashid_Khalidi_LA_Times.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262623520394506194" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So who is Rashid Khalidi at the center of the Los Angeles Times Obama video firestorm? Nominally he is a 58 year old Professor of Arab Studies at Columbia University intertwined in Palestinian causes. Outside the resume he has advocated and provided a legal argument for Palestinians fighting violent wars in Israeli lands, land which he still terms an occupation, putting him at odds with UN Resolution 181 in 1947/48 which established Israel and was supported by the United States. He has called for “reparations” to Iraqis for the Iraqi War. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is some evidence that Rashid Khalidi served as a de-facto spokesman for Yasser Arafat’s bloody Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), a charge which he denies. Yet whether official spokesman or surrogate, he has done the Palestinians’ bidding over a long career that has impugned Israeli sovereignty at every opportunity, even serving as a Palestinian delegate during the farcical Madrid conference in 1991.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His controversial statements reportedly caused Princeton University to pull back from a tenured position there. So he remains at the most liberal and (subjective assessment) anti-Jewish institute of higher learning in the nation, Columbia University. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LA Times Obama Video&lt;br /&gt;The saga begins way back in April 2008 when the LA Times reported on an event starring exemplary citizens William Ayers and Rashid Khalidi, sitting side by side with Barack Obama. About the video, they mention in passing that Obama toasted the radical Khalidi, but they neglect to report what exactly he said. They do not report the context, the reactions, or the speech by Ayers in which a dutiful Obama presumably sat through nodding and smiling. The LA Times concludes rather cryptically that Palestinians have a “friend” in Obama. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It should be noted that Barack Obama and Rashid Khalidi are close friends, one of the few friends Obama has acknowledged from his life before 2006. His kids go to school with Khalidi’s and he has admitted a full understanding of his views in an earlier interview. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now fast forward to October 2008 where the major media is beginning to ask questions in light of Obama’s known associations with anti-American radicals. Where is the video? Let’s see for ourselves. Even the famously liberal politico.com and their embarrassing Obama-yes-man Ben Smith has “encouraged” the video’s release. That should end the argument. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet suddenly the Los Angeles Times is saying today that the informant gave them the video on condition it not be released. They could write about the contents, but not release it. Anyone believe that excuse? It’s like your best friend giving you a porno tape but making you promise not to watch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What the LA Times did say at the time about the Obama Khalidi video:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The warm embrace Obama gave to Khalidi, and words like those at the professor’s going-away party, have left some Palestinian American leaders believing that Obama is more receptive to their viewpoint than he is willing to say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One speaker likened “Zionist settlers on the West Bank” to Osama bin Laden, saying both had been “blinded by ideology.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Times claims in typical liberal fashion that they have given the full story by, you know, writing about the video. The problem, of course, is they have given us a sanitized version of the encounter, putting the best foot forward. The Los Angeles Times has endorsed Senator Obama for president, so they are hardly to be trusted with damaging information. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think what actually happened here is the publisher is now stuck between loyalty to biased staff and the news. His Democrat staff, putting their best foot forward for Obama, concocted an excuse to hide the tape. Now the poor publisher has to protect the chastity of his staff or acknowledge they are acting like Obama embedded reporters. He knows the video is news. Give him credit for that. The junior reporters and their apologists in the newsroom are to blame for this conspiracy. Conjecture of course, but can you do better?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bMiNJZQCl90&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bMiNJZQCl90&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;LA Times Obama Video (Discussion)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hmmmmmmmmmm What's in that Video?

"It's extraordinary."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SQTTHg_6rNI/AAAAAAAAC3Q/mrBwxzyRM-E/s1600-h/frank.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 120px; height: 137px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SQTTHg_6rNI/AAAAAAAAC3Q/mrBwxzyRM-E/s400/frank.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261562390746148050" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frank also said the post-election stimulus package will focus on spending for building projects, extending unemployment benefits, and further supporting states' healthcare costs. "We'll have to raise taxes ultimately," Frank said. "Not now, but eventually." Frank told the Standard-Times that if Democrats cannot secure the votes they need in November, they will try again in January, when they will likely have stronger majorities in the House and Senate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SQTTRudzhMI/AAAAAAAAC3Y/wjP5fYFskL8/s1600-h/sub-square-barney.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 262px; height: 258px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SQTTRudzhMI/AAAAAAAAC3Y/wjP5fYFskL8/s400/sub-square-barney.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261562566159860930" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frank, the Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, was an instrumental figure in engineering the bailout legislation to the U.S. financial industry, and indicated a new package may seek to ameliorate fears about investing. "The psychological problem is even worse than the real problem," Frank said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SQTS5-8qSMI/AAAAAAAAC3I/sw1tsYdfuDA/s1600-h/barneyix6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 259px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h59ihN_aL3k/SQTS5-8qSMI/AAAAAAAAC3I/sw1tsYdfuDA/s400/barneyix6.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261562158267386050" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://briefingroom.thehill.com/2008/10/24/frank-calls-for-25-percent-cut-in-defense-spending-eventual-tax-hikes/"&gt;Story Here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="300" height="300"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yrfPMa3lONU&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yrfPMa3lONU&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="300" height="300"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Well at least Barney Frank is honest. He just comes right out and say's SCREW THE MILITARY, and WE ARE GOING TO TAKE YOUR MONEY AWAY FROM YOU!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Has anyone ever heard such idiocy? Besides that most Iraqi's WANT us in Iraq to finish this war and secure thier Country. A SMALL Minority want us out yes, but we are going to finish this job so we dont have to return at some future date! In other words get it right the first time.

The numbers are nearly identical among officers and enlisted troops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Military Times, which publishes the Army Times, Navy Times, Marine Corps Times and Air Force Times, polled 80,000 subscribers from Sept 22 to Sept. 29. The non-scientific survey gathered 4,300 respondents -- all of them registered and eligible to vote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.militarytimes.com/static/projects/pages/081003_ep_2pp.pdf"&gt;Map Here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A racial divide was immediately evident among the respondents. Nearly eight in 10 black servicemembers chose Obama, while McCain captured 76 percent of white voters and 63 percent of Hispanic voters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Numbers among men and women respondents were also visibly different. Men overwhelmingly said they would vote for McCain, 70 percent to 22 percent. But among women the margin was much closer: 53 percent support McCain, while 36 percent support Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/210/2132/640/irak.jpg'&gt;&lt;img border='0' style='border:3px solid #000000; margin:2px' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/210/2132/320/irak.jpg'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;U.S. troops also said in the poll that they prefer McCain to handle the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan -- 74 percent said McCain would perform better, while just 19 percent said Obama would.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Four years ago the Iraq War was the single most important issue on which the military voted. But the war now ranks third in importance to these voters. The most important issue among the respondents was character (42 percent), followed by the economy (25 percent) and the Iraq War (16 percent).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a racial divide on these issues, as well. Black servicemembers said the economy was the No. 1 issue that affected their vote, and white troops said character was paramount.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Military Times offered certain caveats for its poll, which was open only to its 80,000 subscribers. Responses were entirely voluntary and were not focused on a representative sample of the public, as scientific polls are. The troops polled were also somewhat older than average enlisted servicemembers and included more officers than is representative of the military as a whole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet judging by the numbers, it appears that the Democratic party has not made many inroads into the traditionally Republican military.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/10/21/poll-troops-support-mccain/"&gt;Story Here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Perhaps this is the only poll we should be paying attention to!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8571231-1431853732143538941?l=mariestwocents.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mariestwocents.blogspot.com/feeds/1431853732143538941/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8571231&amp;postID=1431853732143538941' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8571231/posts/default/1431853732143538941'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8571231/posts/default/1431853732143538941'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mariestwocents.blogspot.com/2008/10/military-prefers-mccain.html' title='Military Prefers McCain'/><author><name>Marie's Two Cents</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12024589000490517815</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/210/2132/320/ATT33377691313131313.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry></feed>
