Obama blasts lies, disinformation?!
I wonder if Politico offered this headline with a straight face? They clearly didn’t show any skepticism or journalistic curiosity in Obama blasts lies, disinformation. The comments, mine included, are almost all incredulous at Obama’s audacity to continue spewing disinformation, lies, and legal maneuvering to avoid explaining his past.
Obama’s War of 1,000 Cuts
Yes, Afghanistan is now Obama’s War. It was his since inauguration but make no mistake, from last night’s speech, it is clearly his and we can no longer blame Bush for the mess. Obama has now created the recipe for his own disaster:
- First, the military asked for as much as 60,000 troops, Obama gives them half, and
- Second, while Obama says and repeats that his goal is “defined as disrupting, dismantling, and defeating al Qaeda and its extremist allies”, he spends more time Vietnamizing the war with talk of how he’s going to shift the effort (and responsibility of achieving his goal) to the Karzai’s hapless and corrupt government. As he clearly states “these additionalAmerican and international troops will allow us to accelerate handing over responsibility to Afghan forces, and allow us to begin the transfer of our forces out of Afghanistan in July of 2011.”
What does this mean?
Not So Fast! How about that citizenship “President-elect” Obama? (Updated)
My original November 15, 2008, article is updated here as this is a crucial matter in respect to our Constitution and who we accept in the office of President. It is surreal that Barack Obama has refused to release the records necessary to resolve the matter of his eligibility to be president. Ignoring this will not change the Constitution, nor will those concerned allow the matter to wither away. Either Barack Obama is or is not eligible to be President of the United States.
In the continuing news surrounding Obama’s citizenship is Janet Porter’s claim that Obama did not get his first passport until after becoming a U.S. Senator. This adds weight to his non-U.S. citizenship as his primary or declared citizenship. Did he travel to Pakistan using his Indonesian, Kenyan, or British citizenship? Porter notes that his 1981 travel to Indonesia and Pakistan were after his mother’s 1980 return from Indonesia and divorce from her Indonesian husband. Thus, adding more questions to Obama’s story and credibility as he claimed to have traveled first to see her, then to go on to Pakistan for a three week visit. She also revisits earlier questions about his allegedly forged birth certificate released by the campaign that has been repeatedly called into question.
As I previous wrote…
A new challenge to Senator Barack Obama’s citizenship was filed November 12th in California demanding that the court stop certification of the election results until the state’s secretary of state can ascertain from Senator Obama his legal qualification to be a candidate for President. This 18 page petition is a quick read. It offers a good summary of what is at stake and the questions that surround Senator Obama’s citizenship.
