Well, we had the snide-ass Special Olypics remark, and the post turtle in chief invited the Special Olympics folks over to the White House to patch things up. "See, I'm really not such a bad guy, after all."
Then we had the snide-ass Cambridge Police Department remark, and the post turtle in chief invited the officers who "acted stupidly" over to the White House for a brewski to patch things up. "See, I'm really not such a bad guy, after all."
Could it only be a matter of time when he makes a snide-ass remark about the Hemlock Society, and inivites the Hemlock Society folks over to the White House for a spot of "tea?" Socrates would be proud.

Sgt. Crowley should not meet Obama and Gates for a beer. Basically he is allowing Obama to push his racist cop idea even further.

If Obama can take his wife to NYC on a date costing taxpayers a bundle, then send Air Force One to buzz NYC for some promotional photos, then he can haul his skinny black ass to Boston to apologize to the police there.
An apology starts with the words 'I'm sorry.....'

Hi,
I am adopted and I had a question regarding the new bill being proposed which states that from now on a Presidential Candidate will have to produce a long term birth certificate.
Adopted children do not have long form birth certificates, we only have adoption certificates. This serves the same purpose as a birth certificate for us as far as identification purposes.
This new bill being proposed would actually make it illegal for kids who were born in America, but were then adopted, to become president.
What do you guys think about this?

Beer... another thing in common with the worst president in history... Carter. Now there's Billy Beer and Bama Beer.
Posted by: IOpian at July 28, 2009 2:42 PM
AK, you're full of crap. I've adopted two kids from foster care, and both were issued official state birth certificates, sealed and embossed, that plainly stated the place of birth. The only change was that I was listed as the father instead of the bio-dad. In every other respect, they are identical to birth certificates issued by the states in which they were born.
Posted by: V the K at July 28, 2009 3:00 PM
Adopted Kid -
I don't think much about your argument, because your premise is false. If it is meant to be a strawman argument for why Obama shouldn't provide his long-form, if he has one, it is pathetically weak. Everyone has a long form birth certificate they can get that was born in this country (except foreigners like Obama, who was born in Kenya). Even adopted kids have them. Your original long-form birth certificate would be registered in the Bureau of Vital Statistics in the city or town where you were born under your biological mother's name, but it may not show who your father was, as some young unwed mothers may leave the space "father" blank or possibly even name another person as the father because they aren't sure who was the father. In some states it may be sealed by court order. In any event, should you decide to run for president, I have no doubt the adoption agency has a record of who your biological mother is (was), even if you haven't met her, and you could obtain this record in such case, even if need by by judicial process. The only interest in the record would be to show that you are a natural-born citizen of the United States, which would be easily identifiable, including the listing of what hospital you were from. I haven't read the proposed bill, but can't imagine that it would make it illegal for an adopted kid to become president. If you can cite us to any specific place in the proposed bill that supports your statement, do so. I am sure that plenty of adopted kids do geneological research and acquire their original long-form certificates all the time. You just have to want to find it, that's all. Every one of my kids had to provide a long-form certificate to register for Little League baseball. It is likely Obama's or his folks refusal to provide the long-form certificate kept him from playing baseball (although since he wants to hide all records of his childhood and past, we'll never know). This fact alone would explain why to this day he throws a baseball like a girl, as shown in the earlier posts today.

OBAMA'S "ORIGINAL" BIRTH CERTIFICATE IS "SUPPOSEDLY" FOUND AMID LOU DOBB'S CALLING FOR ITS PRODUCTION -- HAWAIIAN OFFICIALS SAY THEY'VE SEEN IT, TAKE THEIR WORD FOR IT, BUT WILL NOT MAKE IT PUBLIC.
Here's the link to the latest on this issue Tuesday, July 28, 2009 -- Hawaii officials confirm Obama's original birth certificate still exists
http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/20090728/NEWS01/907280345/Hawaii+officials+confirm+Obama%E2%80%99s+original+birth+certificate+still+exists
Hawaii's Health Department confirmed yesterday that it has President Obama's original Aug. 4, 1961, birth certificate in storage, but the announcement is unlikely to satisfy conspiracy theorists who insist Obama was born in Kenya.
"We don't destroy vital records," Health Department spokeswoman Janice Okubo said. "That's our whole job, to maintain and retain vital records."
(The problem is, they won't show or give it anyone, and Obama certainly won't provide it willingly. Wonder why all of this hoopla over shielding it?)
Interestingly, the article is accurate in that it validates what intelligent folks have said all along that the long-form can be ordered produced for a legal reason established by a court order, which would make Cook's quest all the better.
The story attaches a sample microfilm copy of another long-form birth certificate from 1961, which is what Obama's should look like if it exists, showing the types of information a long-form contains, including, doctor, hospital, race, etc.)
The story also exposes CNN/U.S. President Jon Klein's lie in telling staffers of "Lou Dobbs Tonight" that the issue is a "dead" story, according to a Los Angeles Times report.
In an e-mail, according to the Times, Klein wrote that CNN researchers had determined that Obama's 1961 birth certificate no longer exists because Hawai'i officials had discarded paper documents in 2001 — a claim denied yesterday by Isle health officials.
In 2001, Hawai'i's paper documents were reproduced in electronic format but "any paper data prior to that still exists," Health Department spokeswoman Okubo said.
Okubo would not say where Obama's original birth certificate is, but said "we have backups for all of our backups."
"Our Certificate of Live Birth is the standard form, which was modeled after national standards that are acceptable by federal agencies and organizations," Okubo said. "With that form, you can get your passport or your soccer registration or your driver's license."
{But the story admits that Hawaiian officials did not confirm Obama has a long form}:
"One thing that remains unclear is whether Obama has a copy of the original 1961 Certificate of Live Birth, or if he would even be allowed to see it if he asked. (Yea right, there's no way anyone is going to let the public see it, and they're going to be especially wary because of the previous forged Certification of Live Birth trotted out by Daily KOS).
A congressional resolution introduced yesterday by Rep. Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawai'i, commemorating the 50th anniversary of Island statehood was temporarily postponed because birthers objected to a clause noting Obama was born in Hawai'i, said Dave Helfert, an Abercrombie spokesman.
The line "Whereas the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961;" appeared to be construed by birthers as a thinly veiled attempt to get Congress to affirm Obama's U.S. citizenship, Helfert said.
As the issue came to a vote yesterday, Minnesota Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann rose to object, saying there was not a quorum present.
The House later voted unanimously 378-0 to approve the resolution. Bachmann voted in favor of the resolution.
Michelle should have stuck to her guns.
This story just get's more interesting by the minute. Kind of like Hillary's law firm billing records suddenly appearing on some table in the White House.

There is currently a full court press by most republicans and of course the MSM to marginalize the "Birthers" as fringe elements.
So what now is the standard for fairness?
John McCain, documented war hero, clueless liberal, dullard, born in a Panamanian base, was pushed very hard by the left (and some of the right) to come up with a long form.
Alternatively BO, Marxist, race-hustler and black, is not held to the same standard. In other words, BO gets a pass although his long-form (ostensibly, in a Hawaiian vault) is extant.
How does this strike anyone as equitable, much less a reasonable Constitutional standard to set for any presidential election?
But enough with the birth certificate.
How bout we just degrade the criteria for the office of the presidency enough to say that merely being black is sufficient?
Oh yeah, I guess we've already done that.

BTW the founding fathers used the “natural born citizen” clause to avoid any obvious conflicts by a U.S. president that may result from dual, divided or questionable loyalties to any foreign government or nation.
It seems that BO may have already "bowed out" on that account.

Obama's science czar, a baby doesn't become a human being until it's been "socialized.". I guess that means it can be "retroactively aborted" until such time as the state determines it is sufficiently "socialized" to be considered human.

This just in:
Dr. Chiyome Fukino, director of the Hawaii State Department of Health, has seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawai State Department of Health verifying Barrack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen.
In other words, Dr. Chiyome Fukino guarantees the Constitutional legitimacy of the POTUS.
Man that's a relief.

Fiberal makes a REALLY good point. Has anyone noticed that EVERY time there is a scandal of some kind dozens of people always show up to "get in" on the action, claim they witnessed it, were a part of it, helped resolve whatever it was in some way?
In this modern age where most people find "fame" to be an all consuming drug that they must have WHY... WHY has nobody show up who was there? WHY are there no doctors, nurses, clerks, DMV workers, colledge clerks, etc. climbing all over themselves to come out and "grab" their 15 minutes of fame and adulation by the state run media and the Daily Kos wackos?
I have YET to see ANYTHING reported about his "friends" from school, pre, jr, and high, or even colledge? NOBODY he "helped" in chicogo or worked with for any length of time has been shoved into the spotlight to verify his character or claim they actually knew him growing up. The only thing's I have seen or read are TINY little snippits about his DIRECT family or his wife but THAT'S IT???
As much as he lies it's apparent he really doesn't have any freinds because of it. He has show that he will betray anyone for his own advancement.

“My Mother Hated White People” and Other Revelations about Professor Skippy Gates
It’s said that the nut doesn’t fall far from the tree, meaning the obvious that lots of walnuts and pecans end up on the ground, and sometimes meaning the less obvious about people.
In a 1994 interview about his book, Colored People, Professor Henry Louis Gates freely conceded that “My mother hated white people.”
That’s not to suggest, necessarily, that she passed down those feelings to her sons. Then, again, he was devoted to his mom, who also was a big fan of Black supremicist/White-hater, Malcolm X: http://www.booknotes.org/Transcript/?ProgramID=1220.
Gates also mentions in that interview that his nickname was Skip, that he and his family just loved the old Amos and Andy television series despite its Black stereotypes, and that his first wife was a white girl, Sharon Lynn Adams, which relationship all but brought about WWIII in the Gates’ household.
Now, what conclusions can we reasonably draw from those tidbits about Prof. Gates as they relate to his contretemps 15 years later with Sgt. James Crowley?
We can draw absolutely no conclusions, or we can conclude quite a number of things depending on our capacity for tidbit interpretation.
If Prof. Gates has learned anything in his nearly 59 years, from his mammy or from reality, it has been to keep his mouth shut when to open it would display his true, bigoted racial attitudes. Some have termed such attitudes, “blackitude,” referring to the ‘tude shown when blacks are feeling most repressed.
Prof. Gates vividly demonstrated his blackitude when a protective but white, Cambridge cop tried to do his duty after a report of possible burglary at Gates’ home. His charges of racism and racial profiling were both unfounded and reactionary, very possibly a reaction based on his mom’s detestation of all things white.
None of this is new news among dedicated and professionally “repressed” minorities in America.
What those professionals will think of the now-confirmed Obama scheme to turn down the volume of the racial uproar he pumped up with his infamous “stupidly” remark by staging a White House Obama-Gates-Crowley beer detente is unknown.
Another unknown is their reaction to the most recent revelation that Crowley and Gates are “cousins.”
Yep, it’s true, according to Gates. He discovered his personal Kunta Kinte of Roots fame in, of all places, the wee country, the Olde Sod, Ireland: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=8195564&page=1.
If true, since he doesn’t look very Irish, it’s apropos that the erudite, nutty professor found his roots in the Land of Saints and Scholars. Now he and Sgt. Crowley, who does look Irish, will have something to gab about over that beer with their fellow part-Irishman, Barack Obama.
Gates’ late mom must be rolling over in her grave . . .

Worse than Jimmy Carter? Carter was a piker compared to Obama. As bad as Jimmy Carter was, he was and is nothing but a fool. Obama and Carter aren't in the same league of bad. Obama is calculated bad. From all the duplicitous lies that Obama has told in order to get the so-called stimulus bill and now the health care debacle he's trying to force on us, to his foreign policy of siding with and appeasing the enemies of freedom throughout the world, I would say that Obama is worse than Benedict Arnold. We're in for some horrible shit.
