Still Waiting for Those Records…

ABC News’ Kate Snow Reports: Sources inside Governor Palin’s campaign say it’s just taking a little while to pull together years of medical records for the Governor.  Aides suggest that the Governor is not trying to hide anything and they repeat her words to NBC’s Brian Williams the other night– that she is "healthy” and “happy”. 

Asked this morning if they plan to release any medical records today, Governor Palin’s spokeswoman Maria Comella said no.

“The statement I gave you yesterday still applies,” she told ABC News.

That statement was: "At the point where we have info to release regarding her records we’ll let everyone know."

On Wednesday, Governor Palin said she would be “fine” with releasing her records.

She is the only one of the presidential or vice presidential candidates who has not released any health information about herself.

Palin did suggest that releasing her records could be fodder for political attacks of some kind.

“So be it, if that will allow some curiosity seekers, perhaps, to have one more thing that they can either check the box off that they can find something to criticize, perhaps, or find something to rest them assured over.  Fine.  I’m healthy, I’m happy, had five kids.  That is going to be in the medical records.  Never been seriously ill or hurt.  You will see that in the medical records if they’re released,” Palin told Williams.

Obama did not release his medical records. he released a one page summary from a doctor. Get real. Where is the post demanding Obama’s medical records?!

The world is still waiting for Obama to produce his birth certifiate as well. I’d say verification that you are actually eligible to run for president is worth producing.

What is she hiding? An abortion? The fake pregnancy? There are a lot of questions. Obama.. what does he have t hide? He is in perfect health.

Evan;
Well can we at least get something released? She hasn’t provided anything at all. Why would she say that a report would be inviting political attacks? What on there would invite an attack…Just sounds odd.

Yes, we are still waiting for Bill Clinton’s medical records.
And in lieu of records–Obama released a one page note from Doctor Nick Riviera saying that Obama is okey-dokey.
The media is salivating at the thought of more slanderous gutter stories they can start running, based on insignificant details of Palin’s medical history. Alan Colmes already charged her with poor pre-natal care in the birth of her Down’s syndrome baby.

why worry about a 44 year old, 5 kids mom, sports loving, never a drug user or smoker woman’s health? Use common sense!
The following records are far more important, we MUST have those:
1. Obama’s state senate record. This was pressed by Hillary during primary. It’s been so long time, why he doesn’t show? If he doesn’t have, how can he claim he is change agent? What did he change?
2. Obama’s small donors.
3. Obama’s involvement in the legislatives, state legal cases. What cases did he settle? How did he settle? What’s he involved in Tony Rezko’s case?
4. Obama’s health record. He was drug users, smoker. That will hugely affect his health.
The media is so biased.

Posted by: golfgirlusa | October 24, 2008, 11:48 am 11:48 am

And on to real issues:
The Obama website has this cool tax calculator up now. Plus in your particulars – simplified for campaign purposes, of course, we’re not talking TurboTax here – and you’ll see your additional tax cut under both Obama’s and McCain’s plans.
Can someone explain to McCain that there’s more to the economy than taxes?

Posted by: Paul | October 24, 2008, 11:49 am 11:49 am

Apparently, on Obama’s released tax records, he discloses income from speaking fees. The problem? Accepting payment for speaking fees when you’re a legislator is against Illinois state law
Apparently, as an Illinois state legislator through 2004, Barack was prohibited from taking honoraria for speaking under the Illinois Governmental Ethics Act
But what about Barack Obama’s 2000 and 2002 tax returns?
2000: On his 2000 Schedule C-EZ, Barack reported that he received $16,500 as a “Foundation director/Educational speaker.”
2001: On his 2001 Schedule C-EZ, Barack reported $98,158 from a Chicago law firm, Miner, Barnhill, for “Legal services/attorney” (and nothing for speaking)
2002: On his 2002 Schedule C, Barack reported $34,491 for “LEGAL SERVCES / SPEAKING FEES.”
These “speaking fees” are in addition to the amounts that Barack was paid as an employee, a lecturer at the University of Chicago, reported on the first page of his 1040s.
That’s not change we can believe in.
Just to sum up, the media can find Joe the Plumber’s tax woes within 24 hours of his having dared to question The One’s narrative, but they can’t find a clear ethical violation in the released records of a man who has been campaigning for President for two years now.
Another truth-telling moment brought to you by our fair and objective news media.

“Alan Colmes already charged her with poor pre-natal care in the birth of her Down’s syndrome baby.”
I didn’t hear that, but you know there is at least a shred of truth about it. Getting on a plane for a long flight when you’re already in labor is pretty dumb. I guess she wanted the kid to be a naturalized Alaskan citizen, in case they do pull off the secession thing.
Oh, and the way they drag that kid out late at night, in crowded and loud settings, just to use for a political prop…
Sorry, I have a hard time believing a governor and candidate for vice president can’t find a sitter, so the infant doesn’t have to be out past 11 p.m.

Evan: Obama has never had any major issues that required a large medical folder. He did his regular check up and has been fine. There are several of people out there who have small records.
Now, if you are McCain who has cancer, or Palin who has had 5 babies their files would be larger. Much larger.

It was not a today discovered… We have known this from day one he was chosen VP. His doctors told CNN that he is in great health and they have never seen any reason to worry about his aneuryism. In other words his medical team feel he has past any danger zone.

Why does McCain have terrorist friends but no one else can? Why is it ok for Palin to wear $150,000 in clothes when people in GA are living in tent cities and trying to feed their families? Why does McCain call every one “Joe the plumber”? I am not. I find it an insult.

God help us all.(you must be the people who elected GW because he seemed like “a nice guy”) Then, after you saw the first for years of a barely literate man, you elected him again!!! Amazing.
First, about McCain being born in Panama, if your parents are American and you are born on foreign soil, you are American. Second, do you people really think that Obama could be running if there was any doubt whatsoever he was not eligible? And third, if Palin’s medical records are not damning in any way, why not just release them to shut everyone up….it’s just human nature to question the fact that they have not yet been released.

That would be fine with me. Medical records are just doctor’s notes. I don’t think anything more than what Obama submitted is required – the basics of her current condition, labwork, and vitals. The more time the media obsesses over this, the less time they have to discuss the real issues:
The economy. The war on terror. Civil liberties.
You know, all the issues that actually matter where Senator Obama is clearly winning this election.

Posted by: jhw539 | October 24, 2008, 12:07 pm 12:07 pm

Well, if she is fine and in good health, she should have no problems releasing the records. The other three did, so why not her? The only reason she would keep back is that she does have a medical problem that she does not want anyone to know.
BTW, I really can not see the logic in some far-right McCain supporters saying about Obama’s birth records. Give me a break! No one would have had allowed him to run if he was not born American, so why keep bringing this up? Simple, because you people keep spewing out lies to try to confuse anyone who doesn’t have a brain to begin with. Obama was born in Hawaii, thus he is born on American soil and a born national citizen.

I am enjoying everyday that I come to these blogs, and see the republicans flail about in a panic coming up with conspiracy theories about Obama, name calling, making making sh:t up. And then to see the McShame campaign imploding on itself as all of the rats start jumping off of the sinking ship. Since they ran one of the most juvenile campaigns in modern history, who came up with their strategy, a high school student?
So now that we come into the final days of this campaign, it will be interesting to see how low the republicans can go from here. They’re just about at the bottom, so there can’t be too much left.
By the way, what to you republicans call all of the honorable republicans who are backing Obama? The list keeps getting longer and longer.

I can tell you that Palin is healthy and as this election goes on, I can see the mysogyny that is blatant and sad. We need to stop requiring that our women leaders be perfect and the men can be sleaze. Come on ladies…stand up for your own and stop participating in the destuction of our gender.

You are a citizen but don’t meet the constitutional requirements for being president.

This is a lie. Biden provided access to his anuerism records in a similar manner to McCain’s “you have three hours, here are the files” approach to his recent records (his records about broken bones almost half a century ago aren’t as interesting).

If her medical records reveal any abortions, then she lied on her platform that she is pro-life!!! What is this big “IF” that she told NBC yesterday? She said that her medical records will reveal everything “IF” it is released.

Yes, Obama’s med records should be released. But so far Palin is the only candidate that hasn’t released ANY medical information.

‘Course she’s also the only one to not hold a press conference.

She’s also the only one to charge her clothes and stylist to the campaign.

She’s also the only one who has a grown son that is a high school drop-out and a pregnant unmarried daughter.

She’s also the only one who comes from a state that levies a hefty fee on businesses (oil companies) and then gives the money as an annual payment to the citizens of the state – talk about socialism.

So when you talk about Obama getting a pass for his past, think about how much baggage Palin is carrying around that her supporters are able to overlook because they like her, they really like her.

How far will you guys reach? Yeah, Obama had to go to Hawaii, with Secret Service in tow, to personally “buy” a birth certificate that is somehow better than the one that has been shown and inspected by numerous impartial investigators already. Not to mention the microfiche with the copies of the 1961 Honolulu newspaper birth announcement he already planted years ago (this guy really thinks ahead!).
I think your tinfoil hat is a bit tight.

jhw: “The speculation is ridiculous, but the fact is that Bristol missed about 5 months of school around Trig’s birth.”
Actually the fact you even knew that strikes me as bizarre.
The more notable thing to me would be hearing how much school Sarah missed, because she certainly doesn’t present herself as someone who actually has a high school education.

Posted by: Paul | October 24, 2008, 12:20 pm 12:20 pm

well, gee, if her daughters wasn’t out of school for five and a half months at the time trig would have been month 4- 9 gestation, and if she didn’t walk around looking more and more pregnant for the three months before, and if Palin LOOKED pregnant, as she did with hte other four kids, and if Palin didn’t hop on a 12 hour flight supposedly AFTER her water broke sits in her seat and doesn’t mutter a word about being in labor or that her water broke….gee, maybe we’d believe them. ANd the degree of mental illness this women musth have to have LIED to such a EXTREME degree, it’s relevant. She’s a fruit cake.

Posted by: mary in the heartland | October 24, 2008, 12:20 pm 12:20 pm

she will not release them because she has a lot to hide, the republicans should have nothing to fear she is a healthy 40 something, why not release them? maybe because they will show she did not give birth to Trig perhaps it was Bristol.

Obama is not only a smoker but a also a heavy drug user. He says he quit but once you are hooked on drugs you are hooked for life. Cocaine, or crack in his case, is very bad for the body and mind.

Wake up!!! Think about what you are saying you morons!!! Do you REALLY think that Obama would be allowed to run for President if he wasn’t a legal, legitimate U.S. citizen???

Posted by: shawn | October 24, 2008, 12:23 pm 12:23 pm

Who really cares what’s in her medical records. America should be paying more attention to the candidate’s records, who they associate with, their judgements and their ability (or inability)do the job they are running for.
I’m so tired of the media giving Obama a free pass on so many issues, even if I remotely agreed with him, I’m tired of hearing about him and wouldn’t want to vote for him after listening to it all.
The country is in such a poor state right now, but let’s see how much more $$ everyone can throw at him. Give me a break, do some good with all that money and stop these damn ads! I’m in Florida and Obama has really bumped up his ads here, he even has his own channel! And you’re telling me he knows how the middle and lower class is feeling with the economy?

ObiWan: “She’s also the only one who comes from a state that levies a hefty fee on businesses (oil companies) and then gives the money as an annual payment to the citizens of the state – talk about socialism.”
That is an interesting and correct point. Alaska is the most socialistic of the states.
In its defense, it kind of has to be. Alaska’s non-native population base exists to pull natural resources out of the ground. The guys pulling those resources out of the ground benefit from a service infrastructure. The people who comprise that infrastructure put up with harsh weather and high cost of living because of the state’s socialist pay-outs from the resource industry.
Take the socialism away, and those people all move back to Seattle.

Why? When conspiracy nuts actually break down and claim a verifiable fact, I have a tendency to do the research need to check them. And the fact is that Bristol was indeed out of school. But it’s still a stupid theory – faking Bristol being pregnant to cover up that she had a kid last year? Please. These guys need to be whacked with a reality stick.

Where there is smoke, there is probably fire? This could be the reasons why Mayor Palin is constantly on the news about her honesty, penchant for expensive clothes, and unpreparedness for a job she can’t fully describe. There is a saying that “An open mouth catches more flies.” The more she talks, the more she looks foolish.
She and Hasselback surely complement one another. Should not Palin getting the endorsement of a successful politician and not a TV host? Barbara Walters should fire Hasselback from her job. Put somebody there with who has an even temperament and not somebody who explodes over issues. She is not a good example to our children and adults alike to watch on TV. And Palin asked her to join her!!! What an irony!!!

Both parents have to be American if born on foreign soil. Not just one as in Obama’s case.
If was born in Kenya as some think as do his Kenya family, then he isn’t an American.
This question is being carried out in Federal court in PA.
At one point, 2 weeks ago, the judge gave him 3 days to produce what is known as a “full white paper birth certificate”.

She believes the world was created in six days. She believes rape victims should be forced to carry the spawn of their rape to term. Alreayd there are signs that she is not mentally all there. Couple that with being a compulsive liar who is SO unstable and has SUCH poor judgement as to do such a ludicrous charade while in public office.

One time I needed medical records for my insurance company for surgery I needed. I signed my release 2 months before the date surgery was scheduled for. Two days before my surgery the doctors still hadn’t done it. Two seperate doctors & one hospital. I paid & everything. I had to go in person & spend a hole day arguing with people to make them hand them over. Sometimes it just the doctors fault or the medical records departments fault.

Morpheous: ” Palin, on the other hand, has lots of questions to answer about “her” latest child, as most people in Alaska know.”
I think you need to get a grip too. Trig’s parentage is irrelevant to this election. Even as a character study (is she lying?), the trooper gate investigation and information on her tenure as mayor offer more than enough information for a voter to judge her. Petty and pointless rumor mongering about Trig only serves to distract from the important matters. Obama/Biden can win on the issues, they can not win by picking on a baby.

And actually, the fact that Alaska’s non-native population does exist to pull resources from the ground is telling as to how short-sighted the Alaskan secessionists really are.
The resource they currently live for is oil. These knuckleheads want to be their own country because they figure they’ll be an oil-rich country.

Hypocrisy and secrecy don’t tend to play well in battleground states. Or any states. Gov. Palin would do well to remember that before she promises medical records she has no intention of sharing.

This is untrue, and you even detail some of her record in your post. I have not yet heard anything GOOD or impressive in her record – and I always ask Palin supporters to present some factual examples why she is good – but she still has a record. It stinks, and that is what voters should judge her on, not some basement-dwellers mudslinging about her little guy. (Seriously, this is a bad lever to poke at – I’m an honest but rabid Obama supporter but as the parent of a 15 month old nothing gets me into Sarah Palin’s corner faster than jerks going after her baby.)

Those are the issues that concern me and should concern you too. After all, doesnt the economy and the war and other issues depend on this? It must to the GOP as that is all they talk about. Good riddance GOP. Your party is dying. Even the red(neck) states are going for Obama. Even the racists are coming out for Obama.

America has seen the press go after Biden and Obama (and McCain) hard on the exact same issue already. In Biden’s case, his doctor’s course of care has been called into questions (not having as rigorous a follow up imaging program as some dr’s now recommend).
And Americans can see yet another example of the Republican’s persecution complex in your post. Fortunately, whining isn’t having much impact in the polls.

That REALLY bothers me after having a president lie to us for the past 8 years.

I tell you what ABC News, I suggest Palin release a 1 page document from her doctor that she is in excellent health. We still haven’t seen all of Joe Biden’s health records either. Give me a break. Oh, yeah, have you EVER reported about all the lawsuits in 8 states in regarding Obama’s failure to respond to charges of him NOT being an American citizen? On second thought, since Obama and Biden insist on spreading the weatlh, I think they should take out money from their pensions and take away most of their salaries since they’ve only given away less than 1% of their take home pay to charity!

Gotta love cheesy republicans. Instead of defending Palin, they attack Obama. Did you open your eyes & READ what this article is about? It’s about PALIN. Go to the article about OBAMA if you want to comment about him. Freaktard. And stop changing your name every five seconds. It doesn’t convince anybody that millions of people are saying the same thing. It just makes you look psycho.

Where are the medical records for Obama who is running for President? A one page “he is healthy” excuse frm his doctor is not considered medical records. Where are the records related to Biden’s aneurysms? Again ABC acting as an arm of the DNC!

Becky: There is alot of tension between McSame and Palin. Of course he refrets the pick and realizes that she should have been more thoroughly vetted. But it didnt happen. You can see the awkward chemistry between them too. And she wasnt even in the loop on the Michigan pull out. I am sure that we will get the details long after McCain dies…..there will be alot of stories. She is in way over her head on this and she knows it. Did you see her gulp and discomfort when Brian Williams brought up the Powell criticisms of her to McCain. You can see it. You can feel it. She is an anchor.

“Downs is a issue to women who have children after 40.”….Look it up. the majority of Downs babies are born to youngsters. And how do you explain her daughter being out of school for five months during months 5 -9 in pregnancy? and then when trig appears, POOF the daughter is back, anddid you see the preg belly on teh daughter leading up to her disappearing act? it’s not a fat belly, it’s a hard round preg belly. AND who here, after their water broke, would get on a PLANE for a 12 HOUR flight for their FIFTH child???? And after she got off that flight, did she go to the nearest hospital????nope/ Drove ANOTHER hour to get to some small clinic, yes, a clinic, while giving birth to a Downs child that gee, whiz, just happened to have doctors there who were friends of her who could help pull off this gigantic lie. But she should have at least worn a fake stomach whle ‘pregnant’. There are photos of her REALLY pregnant with her others kids and she’s HUGE as most women are. so how do you walk around 9 months rpegnant with your fifth and look normal???

27% tax rate on my income of $175,000 works out to about $47,250 per year. A 15% tax rate on a person’s income of $450,000 is about $67,500 per year. See, too many people don’t understand 5th grade math. Making more money and being in a lower tax bracket does not mean you pay less in taxes. In most cases, you pay much more. That’s why the Democrats are working so hard to get the undereducated behind them, because the gullible will believe just about anything.

Mary in the heartland – you are an idiot if you believe that Track isn’t hers. There was a director who was doing a documentary on her while she was pregnant last March. I’ve been pregnant and you can see her face as she had gained weight. She even showed her belly to the director. Give it a rest, don’t you think you should be worried that your “messiah” isn’t really a U.S. citizen? Why did he travel as an Indonesian in the 1980′s? Hmm, you must have missed that he traveled using a Indonesian passport. That’s probably why he was able to get into Columbia and Harvard.

The thing Obama has to hide is, he was born in Kenya, not in one or any of the United States of America, and therefore is NOT allowed by LAW to be President. What I wanna know is, WHERE IS OBAMA’S CERTIFIED BIRTH CERTIFICATE that states he was born in the US? There isn’t one. He is a dual citizen of two other countries, Kenya and Indonesia. If people would stop listening only to mainstream media, they would find the truth.

laura: “The birth certificate posted on the internet is a photo copy. Obama was ordered by a Federal Judge in PA on October4 to turn over a “certified copy of the long version” birth certificate or the “vault” copy of the certificate, his certificate of citizenship and oath of allegiance”
This is a lie, and in fact Hawaii does not even have a mechanism to provide a copy of the so-called “long version” of the birth certificate. This frivolous lawsuit is going nowhere.

Obama doesnt get a pass. Palin is the one that said she would release them and now they are not released. That is all. I think she can do the 1 page thing like Obama. And if she had an STD, I think she has the right to privacy on this as it is irrelevant to her being able to be a VP. But she is still a moron. That doesnt change.

A while back McCain invited a number of journalists to review a 1000 pages of his medical records for a couple of hours. How many people have a 1000 pages of medical records – does not that in of itself say something of the man who could be president? Do we really want to elect a person with that complicated a medical record?
On Palin – it was obvious from her response to Williams question she was uncomfortable with the thought of releasing her records. There is obviously something in it – that needs to edited. The lawyers are working on it – and I’m sure we will see the Ozzie and Harriet version soon.

I’d LOVE to see Trig’s birth certificate! And Sarah’s medical records from her last pregnancy…
* Missing birth certificate for Trig
* Missing photo of child from day of birth from hospital website.
* Missing explanation for taking the risks Sarah Palin did on the day she flew cross country and flight attendants on the return flight did not realize she was pregnant or in LABOR for the entire flight!
* Missing photos that show a progressively more pregnant Sarah.
* Sarah Palin returning to work 3 days after she supposedly gave birth.
* Picture from March 14 where she does not look pregnant at all.
*Family picture where Bristol looks pregnant has been removed from Governor Palin’s website.
*Pictures from shortly after when she gave birth to Trig where she looks the same as she did in the pictures from March.
*Bristol missed 3 or 4 months of school just before Trig was born–the cause–an extended case of Mono! Wow-that was SOME case of mono!
*Palin’s doctor’s profile has been removed from the Alaska hospital’s website.
My guess is Bristol’s baby will be “late” and land about 9 months after Trig was born. Let’s all see…and there’s that “wedding” to plan…think it’ll happen?
Sarah, take care of your family…go home to Alaska. Please?

Okay, but there’s creationists who believe in Genesis, albeit as a spiritual account rather than an actual timeline.
The Catholic Church, for instance, includes Genesis as part of the Old Testament (as do all Christian denominations I know of), and believes everything in the Bible is divinely inspired, but doesn’t advocate a literal interpretation of everything – like the six days part.
Those who do take the Bible literally I associate with those fringe Christian churches, often not alligned to any established clerical hierarchy. You know, like the southern snake handlers and churches like that.

Just wrong too: We are in this mess because of the democrats and the republicans. It is far worse than Fannie and Freddie. I guess you are unfamiliar with the Phil Gramm led bill to repeal the Glass Steagal act? He was a GOP sentaor and is also a major friend and advisor to McSame. And then Clinton signed the bill into law. Plus the GOP is well known for their contemot of regulation and the advocacy of those “free” markets which are never free for so many reasons. So, whenever I see people like you blaming one side or the other, it is clear that you do not understand that our elected officials have sold us out to Wall Street. We are the United States of Wall Street and as long as they provide jobs (profits for them), then thyy can do what they want. The government lets them as our elected officials trade power for money and access. And it is people like you who make stupid statements that are reflctive of your myopic view of the matter. Get a clue fool.

I don’t understand why she won’t give out her medical records at all but she going to have to and that is a fact.
Obama has not told anybody the truth about himself either he only gave out one page and that is not enough either.
The best part about Obama is that he has not given is real first name either and that is a fact nobody is mentioning and I don’t understand either. Barack is not is given name at all it is BARRY if you don’t believe me look it up yourself on any seach engine I found on cuil.com.
Why haven’t they brought out the fact that is did drugs and dealt in drugs in his high school days. On one of stations interviewed two (2) of the girls that went to school with him and they were so surpised about the fact that he was trying to President. They were scared of him when they went to school with him. Why isn’t that brought out anywhere?
MAY GOD BLESS ALL OF US NOW AND FOREVER IF HE BECOMES PRESIDENT!!!

“I am sick of all the people who state that OBAMA needs to show us his birth certificate. IF there was a problem with this it would have been caught a long time ago.”
Seems the background check to be presidnent isn’t as stringent as the one that the FBI and law enforcement uses. He wouldn’t be able to pass either one of those, because of his associations and his abuse of a class A narcotic.

Oh please. You’re posting as though those moral majority types actually care about morality. We all know they just use that as a political hook.
In reality, they’re a cess pool of perversion.
Look at it this way. They watch Fox, right? And which news channel parades its female anchors in the tightest dresses and sweaters, covers any dead or missing cute blonde ad nauseum, and offers continuous loop video of cute celebrities behaving scandalously?
Fox is like soft porn for people who like to pretend they don’t like porn.
The fact that the Palins most likely sleep around a little probably just makes the family more intriguing to Republicans.

Posted by: UnPoliticallyCorrect2008 | October 24, 2008, 1:12 pm 1:12 pm

Obama didn’t release his medical records…but did Obama go on national tv and say he had no problem releasing them and then the next day say he’s not? See there is a pattern here Palin said with regards to “troopergate” she would cooperate any way she could. Then when time came to cooperate she didn’t. She said she would release them and now she’s not.That is called a liar. I just don’t understand how people keep saying what Obama did or didn’t do. If Obama is trying to hide something by not releasing his records then Sarah is also trying to hide something. So why is it okay for Palin but not Obama?

Posted by: Mack | October 24, 2008, 1:14 pm 1:14 pm

Chris, I only mentioned “those” parts because they are the ones that are the most “complicated” with women. The fact that I did not mention others in no way means that there are not others. I am aware of this. But after this, there are limited options for significant difference. You can ask your Ob/Gyn about this. The other part includes the mammary glands which are also under the control of estrogen as well as pituitary hormones. So, it is really not as complicated as you would like to make it out to be. Or can you elaborate and tell me what is so compliated? And that is not the reason she is not releasing her medical records. There is something else in there and she might be entitled to privacy on this matter.

justrighttoo,
You obviously have a TV that only goes to foxnews. Greenspan told a congressional committee yesterday that Freddie and Fannie were not the principle reason that the economy took a dump. He said it was his and the republican economic philosophy that the markets will regulate themselves that was to blame.
He pretty much said that he was wrong. Now if he was wrong, and the republicans have utilized his theory as their economic principles for the last 8 years or so, I guess you can’t blame the democrats for the republicans getting it wrong!

Posted by: Independent realist | October 24, 2008, 1:15 pm 1:15 pm

SHEAMINOR…you are right, Obama did not say he would release something and then not do it.
He is just blatantly refusing to release ANYTHING….which in your world makes it okay? Am I wrong on that assumption?

Posted by: UnPoliticallyCorrect2008 | October 24, 2008, 1:15 pm 1:15 pm

Ok I need to ask a very important question. Palin just said on tv that under a McCain/Palin administration she would ‘reform’ the system to give federal funds for every parent(s) of ‘special needs’ children.
Did i hear her correctly? She wants to take MY tax money to give to parents of retard kids? Isnt that socialism? Why should i be punished just because i havent got retard kids?
I guess I need to raise a retard to be a part of McCain/Palin’s ‘wealth distribution’.
These shadow socialist ‘reforms’ from Palin really scares me.

“Paul, we are in this economic mess BECAUSE of the democrats.Have you ever heard of Fanny, Freddie, Countrywide?”
Objectively not correct.
At most, Fannie/Freddie were side contributors to the what caused this economic crisis. Even Republicans at yesterday’s congressional hearings were forced to acknowledge that, though to any thinking person, the acknowledgement wasn’t necessary.
Think about it this way. You got a bunch of credit-pushing mailers in your mailbox for the last few years, right? How many came from Fannie/Freddie?

And if you want to get into foreign policy and erraticism, I’ll take Obama’s side of that debate any day and twice on Sunday’s.
McCain criticized Obama’s statements on targeting al Qaeda in Pakistan, while almost simultaneously saying he’d follow bin Laden to the gates of hell. If that isn’t erratic – not to mention contradictory – I don’t know what is.
McCain also mistated Obama’s position on targeting al Qaeda in Pakistan. Obama was clearly talking about targeting al Qaeda based on actionable intelligence. McCain knowingly lied by stating Obama wanted to invade Pakistan.
On Russia, McCain emotionally flew off the handle, stating we are all Georgians. Think about that. If we’re all Georgians, then Russian armor attacking Georgians is an act of war against the U.S. There isn’t much doubt where that kind of talk from a commander in chief would lead – which is why commanders in chief or even candidates to be commander in chief don’t talk like that.
And yet almost simultaneously McCain was saying we shouldn’t have another cold war (and presumably also not a hot war) with Russia.
Erratic? You betcha.
McCain is a guy driven by emotions, prone to kneejerk actions, and clearly not possessing the calm, measured personal traits we need in a president.

Guess what? The “free” market would NEVER lend money to those who they determine are not credit worthy. It’s simply bad business practice. It was government who mandated that they begin to lend to deadbeats so that the American Dream of homeownership could be realized by those who didn’t EARN it.
And then, your esteemed Democratic congressmen and women, many of whom are amazingly still in office, vigorously defended the very government mandated lending practices and institutions, who continued to underwrite bad loans at a robust pace. Yes, they defended these institutions from the eeevil and racist Republicans, like John McCain who called for reform and who was quickly smacked down by Barney and Chris. You know, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, two of the biggest recipients of monetary contributions from these housing lenders.

Please check your information before you make these off the cuff comments. Do some checking!!!! Fact: If one or both of your parents were U.S. citzens at the time of your birth and you were not born on U.S. soil, you are still considered a U.S. citzen. So even if McCain or Obama were born in the vast wastelands of Russia, they or anyone else with parents of U.S. citzenship would be a citzen of the U.S. Don’t you think our country is in enough trouble without creating this list of doubts that are off the wall.

ACORN has been and continues to play a central role in Obama’s strategy to win (steal?) this election. That’s why he has not stepped forward to criticize them. If not for ACORN, Hillary Clinton would be the Democratic nominee.

GeniusJoe46 – So, your point is that since it’s been done since the 70′s, that makes it right? You are mixing what is in the Constitution to what men in suits have decided for political purposes to get elected. She hasn’t lied about anything, only Barack Obama has repeatedly.(Wright/Ayers/Rezko/Davis). Remember: Birds of a feather flock together. As for the birth certificate is concerned, the federal court in Philadelphia has a petition from a democrat for Obama to comply and provide a birth certificate. He had 30 days to do it and he let go by. In that case, the court officially recognizes that if a defendant doesn’t answer the charges, that means a guilty plea. Funny how Obama’s grandmother in Hawaii is suddenly ill just after this case on Thursday. For a woman who raised Obama, he didn’t take his wife or kids with him. Funny huh? Not very Christian of him is it? Obama’s grandmother in Kenya told everyone that Obama WAS born in Kenya. He had dual citizenship, Kenya and Indonesia because his step-father adopted him as Barry Soetoro. He traveled as an Indonesian to Pakistan in 1981. Only after he came back to the U.S. was Barry known as Barack Obama. Up untill then, everyone knew him as Barry. (Colleges look at foreigners in a different light on acceptences than U.S. citizens). Other states have pending lawsuits in regarding his birth status, NY,CA,PA,CT,FL are among those. They’ve even asked the states’ Attorney Generals to investigate this so it isn’t just a blog rumor! Obama gave almost $1 million dollars to Odinga in Kenya when he was running for President. There is hard evidence emails came from his Senate office in giving Odinga advice. Only after 1,000 people died and 800 churches were destroyed did Odinga and the President-elect forge a dual power. Odinga was very good friends with Obama’s father. If you have any questions about this, I can certainly direct you to see them.

Dont believe for one minute that Obama’s mystical 250K line is going to stay there when his plans hit the floor of the congress.
Already, them Dems are lining up a plan to take over your 401Ks and replace it with another Government entitlement program.

How about a story on Obama’s cocaine and drug use? We have yet to hear from any of his old drug buddies. Or how about a review of Obama’s Columbia College records? Yeah, that’s a tough one seeing how he has refuse to let them be release. We knew all of Bush’s college grades, drunk driving arrests, old girlfriends, etc prior to the last election. But, ABC News suppresses this information on Obama. Hmmm. I wonder why? Oh, yeah. ABC Reporters have no ethical standards and are an arm of the DNC spin machine.

Why would she bring it up in such an obvious way? Had 5 kids, that’ll be in there. I’m sorry folks, but she just let the cat out of the bag. Even if it is in there it could be easily be forged by the family doctor who she had to fly 10 hours and a 45 min. car ride WHILE IN LABOR to get to. She brought it up and why? Because it’s on her flimsy conscience perhaps? This woman is a pathological liar-and your next Vice President! Yeehaw!

B) Obama released all of his medical records, inluding the results of physicals, blood tests, etc. Attached is a one-page summary saying he is in excellent health and has never had any serious illnesses. It’s a short packet of info because he’s never had anything serious happen.

Posted by: Mike_C | October 24, 2008, 1:55 pm 1:55 pm

What Palin’s records are likely to show, is that she and her husband considered aborting her last child when they found out he would have Down’s syndrome. A true right-to-lifer would NEVER consider an abortion. When the truth is finally revealed, her political life will be over. Of course, she’ll be history in less than two weeks, so it probably won’t matter.

It amazes me how little faith the people here place in both campaign staffs. Do you really believe in this day and age of no privacy that either side could keep a really good secret from the other? If there was any good dirt out there it would have been leaked to the mainstream media long ago and not through some little blog that is only read by like-minded individuals. This is particularly true of Obama. Do you really think that with Bush/Chaney still in office that they wouldn’t have put pressure on the Justice Department, the FBI, and god only knows who else to find anything they could on him?
I’ll make one pure conjecture about Palin’s medical records. I’ve spent decades working with college age individuals. Her pattern of college hopping is consistent with someone who suffered from depression/anxiety. Since most students out grow this as they mature if the Obama camp knows about it they probably don’t think it is worth using.

Personally, I could care less what’s in her medical records. Would you give the keys to your house to someone you’ve only know for seven weeks? Would you leave your small children in the care of someone you’ve only known for seven weeks? Right. Then why on God’s earth would you give someone you’ve only known for seven weeks the keys to the Oval Office?

Independent realist – I watch Joe Scarborough in the morning on MSNBC and watch Hardball. I like to watch the lovefest on MSNBC between Chuckie Todd and Andrea Mitchell and Mika just sing Kum ba Ya. Did you know that NBC is joining up together with ACORN during this election? I guess it’s okay since they both want Obama to win. As for Greenspan, I don’t think he knows anything. He’s NOT a captitalist at all. He’s married to Andrea Mitchell anyways. You didn’t mention the fact that Rep. Barney Frank during a hearing in 2005 said that Fanny and Freddie were sound! Then you have Barack working for ACORN (and trained them in Project Vote, I guess they are having good results from that) and goes in front of banks and pickets to force them to make bad loans. And who made Fanny and Freddie? Why, a DEMOCRAT! Who made the Community Reinvestment Act in 1977? Who got it renewed in 1995? Who tried to get more oversight of Fanny and Freddie in 2005? There were 4 republicans in the Senate who co-sponsored this bill. I didn’t see a SINGLE democrat on this. You better watch out, the democrats are eagerly waiting to have full power so they can not only tax small businesses and success, they will tax your 401K’s! Of course, with universal healthcare, we will be a full socialist country. The founding fathers will be turning over in their graves!

The Cleveland Leader
Lawsuit Filed Against Obama Claims He’s Not Eligible for the Presidency
Philip J. Berg, Esquire, of Pennsylvania filed a lawsuit on Thursday seeking a Declaratory Judgement and Injunction that Barack Obama does not meet the qualifications to become President of the United States. In the lawsuit Berg alleges that Obama is not eligible for the presidency because he is not a naturalized citizen, and/or lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia, and/or has duel citizenship with Kenya and Indonesia.
Berg said that he has filed the suit on behalf of the Democratic Party and citizens of the United States for their best interests. Berg, an attorney with offices in Montgomery County, PA and an active practice in Philadelphia, filed the lawsuit, Berg vs. Obama, Civil Action No. 08-cv-4083, in Federal Court.
In the filing Berg says:
There have been numerous questions raised about Obama’s background with no satisfactory answers. The questions that I have addressed include, but are not limited to:
1. Where was Obama born? Hawaii; an island off of Hawaii; Kenya; Canada; or ?
2. Was he a citizen of Kenya, Indonesia and/or Canada?
3. What was the early childhood of Obama in Hawaii; in Kenya; in Indonesia when he was adopted; and later, back to Hawaii?
4. An explanation as to the various names utilized by Obama that include: Barack Hussein Obama; Barry Soetoro; Barry Obama; Barack Dunham; and Barry Dunham.
5. Illinois Bar Application – Obama fails to acknowledge use of names other than Barack Hussein Obama, a blatant lie.
If Obama can prove U.S. citizenship, we still have the issue of muti-citizenship with responsibilities owed to and allegance to other countries.
Berg goes on to make very direct accusations against Obama, stating that he “lied and cheated his way into a fraudulent candidacy and cheated legitimately eligible natural born citizens from competing in a fair process.”
Interestingly, Obama isn’t the only one who’s citizenship has been questioned in this election. John McCain’s citizenship was also questioned because he was born on a military base in the Panama Canal Zone, which is not a US territory.
The full court filings and claims can be found at ObamaCrimes.com, Berg’s website. Philip J. Berg is the former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania, former candidate for Govenor and US Senate in Democratic Primaries, former Chair of the Democratic Party in Montgomery County, and former member of the Democratic State Commitee.
This filing comes less than two weeks after an AP photo was revealed of the school register of a child then known as Barry Soetoro, now known as Barack Hussein Obama, whose citizenship was listed as “Indonesian” and whose religion was listed as “Islam.” the photo strongly contradicts the Obama camp’s claim that he was not a Muslim, and is said to confirm he is a national of at least one other country. The AP has confirmed the authenticity of the photograph.

Nice job explaining the intention of the IL “Present” vote procedure but you might like to try leaving out the personal attacks next time.
Now, let’s fully understand the process:
Voting “Present” is also routinely used by legislators in the IL Senate to avoid responsibility for taking definitive positions on controversial issues. Additionally, it’s used in cases where a state legislator is not familiar enough with a bill as to make a final determination on its merits when the bill is brought up for a vote.
You’re welcome.

I love how everyone in the Media is on McCain and Palin about certain things but yet Obama and Friends get a free pass. To the person who said McCain isn’t “technically” eligible to be President, there is no such thing as an in-between. Have you ever heard of a U.S. Citizen born abroad? He comes from a military family.
Just because a female soldier or wife of a soldier in the military has a child at a base overseas does not make them a citizen of that country. The ignorance of the American public is so scary. So many people take for what they hear someone else say as the complete and absolute truth without doing their own research. I’m very proud to see so many more people speaking out against ABC and their one way reporting! Keep it up guys!

I would have to agree with Mike. Many people have mental health conditions that can be completely controlled and would not affect how one performs as president/VP. While I personally support Obama, I would not want for Palin to lose support because of a dx of clinical depression or something similar.

Instead of worrying about Medical Records that mean nothing…(FDR, JFK, etc), why not focus on what is in the works by the liberals who may have complete and unfettered control of the government.

A) Obama did release his birth certificate. It’s been posted on hundreds of sites and published in LA Times
B) Obama released all of his medical records, inluding the results of physicals, blood tests, etc. Attached is a one-page summary saying he is in excellent health and has never had any serious illnesses. It’s a short packet of info because he’s never had anything serious happen.

TOM: YOU ARE AN IDIOT!
Where the heck is Obama’s COMPLETE medical record, hah?
The only thing that he has released is an one page “Doctor’s Note” like the ones kids bring to school when they are out sick. It basically says that he is in good health!
Why is the freaking media so interested in Palin’s medical records and in Obama’s WHO IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT! The media witches – Catie Curic and Campbell Brown(ose) and their male colleagues – those male sexist pigs at CNN and MSNBC are just looking for reasons to change the subject of the news from “Joe The Plumber” to Palin’s $150,000 louzy dollars wardrobe (I am sure Obama’s designer suits, ties, shoes, and Swiss watches have costed a heck of a lot more) and to her medical records.
Suddenly, the economy is not such a big issue – Palin’s medical records are – and in their twisted brains Palin’s medical records are more importamt thna Obama’s!
Why is Obama not releasing his? Is he hiding some mental illness perhaps? Hah?
Has he had frequent visits to “therapists” and for what reason? Can we see ALL his drug abuse related records? Once an addict, someone is considered an addict all their life even if they are “clean” for years. Th possibility od relapse is always there. Why he is NOT telling us the facts?
Is this is why he has drives of people voting for him early so they will not be able tochange their mind once some more facts come to light?
SHAME ON THE BIASED PARTISAN MEDIA MORONS ESPECIALLY JOHN CLOWN – AS IN JOHN KLEIN – PRESIDENT OF CNN – AS HE HAS RUINED CNN. TO THE OTHER CLOWN – THE PRESIDENT OF NBC/MSNBC NBC – JEFF ZUCKER – I SAY THAT HE IS MORE PATHETIC THAN THE HIS IDIOTS KEITH OLBERMANN AND CHRIS MATHEWS.

Palin has been given no time – zero – to produce those records. Obama has had months for his medical records and longer to produce proof of US Citizenship (by birth) and has failed to do so. Let’s use the same yardstick on everybody!

Laura: I am not convinced that Obama was born in Hawaii. I believe he was born in Kenya, brought back to Hawaii and his birth certificate was back dated. Since Obama’s father was known as a schemer its possible that Kenya didn’t register him there. Money talks and BS walks and its known in the Obama camp. Why didn’t the news media produce a record showing the name of the hospital he was born in.

My 2 cents: It is very sad the way America is been thorn apart. Dear Republican friends, the Medical records are important because McCain is quite old and therefore Palin will probably be acting President even if he doesn’t die, in case McCain becomes disabled temporarily due to any of his many medical conditions. When people ask me if we really believe America put a man in the Moon, my answer is: If you lived in the 60′s you know that the Soviets were constantly finding any mistake or contradiction in anything America would do to further their Propaganda interest. If the Soviets did not find any shred of evidence against the Lunar landing, that’s the best proof it happened. The moral of the story is: If the Clinton’s didn’t find any real issue to sink B.H.O., you can bet money that all those rumors spread by Fox are baseless. Dear Democrat friends: Please follow the example of your candidate and keep this discussions civilized.

Credentials of someone who CLAIMS THE “CERTIFICATE OF LIVE BIRTH” IS A BAD FORGERY! AND YOU LIBS CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THE LA TIMES AND SNOPES.COM…
Techdude delivers a final report that exceeds my wildest expectations. It is irrefutable, empirical evidence – Obama’s birth certificate is a forgery. Why? Why a COLB (certificate of live birth) forgery? That is the question.
My deepest thanks and appreciation for Techdude’s unwavering commitment to the truth despite the threats and harassment, the slashed tires and the dead animal on his porch.
Insofar as “techdude’s” credentials, he is an active member of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, American College of Forensic Examiners, The International Society of Forensic Computer Examiners, International Information Systems Forensics Association – the list goes on. He also a board certified as a forensic computer examiner, a certificated legal investigator, and a licensed private investigator. He has been performing computer based forensic investigations since 1993 (although back then it did not even have a formal name yet) and he has performed countless investigations since then.

Back to experience for a moment. Do yourself a favor. Make a list of the five presidents you consider the best ever, and a list of the five presidents you consider the worst ever. And look at the two lists in terms of which group had the more experience when taking office. You might be surprised.

The bottom line, PoliticallyIncorrect, is that McCain has demonstrated the traits that not only don’t I want in a president but I actually would be concerned about with him as president.
I’d rather have Palin as president, and that’s not an endorsement of Palin – strictly an argument that John McCain does not have the temperament to be president.
In 2000, his Senate colleagues tried to tell us that. It was mostly disregarded by independents and Democrats as just part of the Bush’s negative campaign against him. Now, its blatantly clear what those Republican senators were talking about.

If you hate this coutry so much, go move to Iran or Cuba with Michael Moore and his lot. People like Becky and others really are pathetic ingrates. To bad we cannot ship such pea brains to France, Germany, etc. The idea that Obama will unite all parties is a joke. Mark my words, he will divide this country far more than Bush ever did and one day, this country will engage in another bloody civil war because they left, blame America first crowd simply are unable to think clearly and are unable to tolerate any opinion but their own. The left and their party of death turn on Palin merely because she has five kids and opposes abortion. Sick. They are more worried about saving the lives of terrorists and evil people than viable fetus’, many of whom had the sad misfortune of being conceived by trashy people who are too stupid to use some form of protection to prevent unwanted children. Yet the party of death and low morals is about to rule this country. Good luck protecting this once great country because the weak minded left and their annointed leader could never have fought and won WWII because they don’t have to stomach or guts to fight terrorists who want to kill us and worry about the creeps in prison in Cuba but have no problem aborting tens of thousands of poor souls every year. Sick, pathetic and shameful is the only way to describe the left.

Let me guess – she’s either bipolar or that rumor that the baby is actually her daughter’s is what’s holding her up right? Apparently, she was only out for two weeks during the last pregnancy. Ironically, her daughter (the one that’s pregnant now?) was taken out of school for five months leading up to the pregnancy because she “contracted mono” You do the math!

barackobama: I am sure with the heavy drugs and booze he was taking for years he might have caught something because he had to be shacking up with various women. Obama is very good at trying to hide his younger years associates but it all came out in the wash. And everything will come out again about him. I stated before is his grandmother that ill or is it a fake to get votes from republican’s.

Why is she foot dragging on this? She clearly looks healthy. My guess is that there is some minor cosmetic procedure that would tarnish her image as a down-home hockey mom… Wouldn’t be a shock considering this story from the Times:
Who was the highest paid individual in Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign during the first half of October as it headed down the homestretch?
Not Randy Scheunemann, Mr. McCain’s chief foreign policy adviser; not Nicolle Wallace, his senior communications staffer. It was Amy Strozzi, who was identified by the Washington Post this week as Gov. Sarah Palin’s traveling makeup artist, according to a new filing with the Federal Election Commission on Thursday night.

Bzzzt…this one is for you and the rest of the “sheep” that follow “God’s Gift to America” as Bella Pelosi refers to Big 0!
*******************
Barack Obama Couldn’t Pass a Routine Background Investigation
October 10, 2008
A while back, radio talk show host Michael Savage brought up the notion that Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama couldn’t pass a background investigation to become an FBI special agent.
He doesn’t know how right he is.
Sen. Barack Obama wouldn’t pass a routine government background investigation, not only to become an FBI agent, but a police officer as well. If he were a soldier, his background would preclude him from obtaining a security clearance. He wouldn’t even qualify to be a support person in a federal agency, such as secretary, for that matter. His past cocaine usage disqualifies him from being a DEA agent.
There’s another big problem Sen. Obama has: His association and business relationship with Weatherman Underground founder William Ayers, a former domestic terrorist who is still unrepentant for his bombings on U.S. landmarks and police stations. Usually, the company you keep reveals who you really are. Ayers felt then, as he does now, that America is the evil of the world and needs punishing for past and current bad acts. Not many federal agencies would want someone with that kind of chip on his shoulder working for it.
Also, Sen. Obama’s association with Tony Rezko and the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) come to mind. Rezko was just convicted of promoting corruption among Chicago politicians. He helped in the purchase of the senator’s home and was a campaign fundraiser for Obama. ACORN is being investigated by the feds for systematic voter registration fraud. Not good things.
Let’s not forget about Sen. Obama’s pastor and mentor for 20 years, America-hater Rev. Jeremiah Wright. When first questioned about his membership in Wright’s black theology church, Sen. Obama first denied knowing Rev. Wright harbored such negative feelings about the U.S., but after being further pressed, he dismissed the reverend’s conduct as like a “crazy uncle” who lived in the basement. He finally decided that he couldn’t politically afford to stay in the church, and dropped his membership.
To keep job applicants honest, many government agencies such as DEA, FBI, CIA and others require them to take a polygraph examination. Do you think Sen. Obama could pass a polygraph when he approves an ad that mocks Sen. John McCain for being unable to send e-mails without mentioning his poorly mended broken arms while in custody of the North Vietnamese which prevents him from manipulating the computer keyboard? He’s not computer illiterate, he’s handicapped!
Would you want a police officer in your city associating with such people? Not likely. But Obama supporters ignore these associations because they are desperate for a Democrat in the White House.
A federal government full-field background investigation would also look for prior inconsistencies, exaggerations and outright lies on an application for employment.
I once conducted a background check for an applicant to become a secretary for DEA. She had previously worked for a large police department as a secretary, and left the job to have a child. She was ready to re-enter the workforce and wanted to work for DEA. She seemed perfect for the job until the background investigation revealed that she lied on her application. She claimed to have 30-semester hours of college in office management, when in reality she attended one day of one class and then dropped out. The fact that she lied was sufficient justification to consider her application no further. After all, if she would lie about that, what else has she lied about? Obviously the woman lacked integrity, which is a vital qualification for any position within the federal government, even a DEA secretary who would have access to all investigative reports.
I’d like to conduct Sen. Obama’s background investigation. I’d review his application for the Illinois state bar and see if he mentioned the drug usage that he disclosed in one of his books. If the question about drugs was asked, and he denied it at the time, his integrity is immediately put into question. He revealed it in his book to float a balloon to test his potential as a viable presidential candidate. Admitting it prevented his political opponents from attacking him about it. In fact, in the eyes of many Sen. Obama supporters, using drugs enhances his resume. It’s something they can relate to.
Personally I like my presidents to not associate with known criminals, be drug-free for a lifetime, have unquestioned integrity and be able to pass a simple background investigation.

I didnt believe the rumor that Gov Palin’s young boy is not hers, like I did not believe the rumor that Sen Obama is not the father of his two daughters, an is Gay. If we had the type of Press that they have in England, we would only get the facts, the names of those who claim something, an the ability to file lawsuits. Un-named sources would be a thing of the past. When you have the Hollywood elite, what they control, the MSM in the pocket of Sen Obama, along with MSNBC,CBS, ABC an CNN, does anyone really think that Sen McCain has any possible chance of winning??

I guess I would rather have a president who has previously done drugs than a president who can’t answer a question. McCain is constantly side stepping the questions thrown at him. If he can’t answer a question on national television, how is he supposed to answer the woes of the American people? Who cares if Obama did drugs when he was younger. It doesn’t make him less of a person today. He’s obviously cleaned up and made something of himself. Better than what some drug abusers can say!

First off, yes I am an Obama supporter, BUT I also am quite sick of the argument over either candidate being eligible. Obama has been proven, if not McCain would be all over this like an ant at a picnic. The McCain issue needs to be ruled on now, in his favor by the SCOTUS. I believe it is an issue the Founding Father’s had not foreseen nor intended.
FactCheck.org on birth of McCain and Obama:
McCain’s Birth Issues:
“This is not the first time the question has been broached in a presidential election. Fellow Arizonian Barry Goldwater was born in the Arizona territory before it was a state. And Mitt Romney’s father, George, ran for president in 1968, though he was born in Mexico. Like McCain, both were born to U.S. citizens and, therefore, considered to be American citizens.
However, both of those candidates were unsuccessful in their bids – and so a smidgen of uncertainty remains. If McCain wins the presidency, the constitutionality of these congressional statutes could be challenged in the courts. Members of Congress have expressed this fear and proposed a more explicit law, or even a Constitutional amendment. Neither has been adopted.”
There is more to the story, namely a law not enacted until the year after McCain’s birth. That was the basis of the three lawsuits filed to block McCain’s candidacy. All were tossed because the filer had no standing to bring suit. Issue addressed by Senate in April, unanimous non-binding resolution, but it is not a law. Constitutional scholars and attorneys say there is still window. Only someone with standing can bring the suit. Who that would be, I don’t know. The language must be clarified by the SCOUS to prevent this problem again. We have so many good people born overseas.
Obama birth:
“Recently FactCheck representatives got a chance to spend some time with the birth certificate, and we can attest to the fact that it is real and three-dimensional and resides at the Obama headquarters in Chicago. We can assure readers that the certificate does bear a raised seal, and that it’s stamped on the back by Hawaii state registrar Alvin T. Onaka (who uses a signature stamp rather than signing individual birth certificates).”
If you want to go the silly place and claim that FactCheck if biased to Obama,
remember this when you read about the origins of FactCheck
LEONORE ANNENBERG, FORMER CHIEF OF PROTOCOL 1981-1982 (WIFE OF WALTER ANNENBERG FORMER AMBASSADOR UNDER REAGAN, EXTREMELY CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN) HAS ENDORSED MCCAIN FOR PRESIDENT. SHE IS THE CHAIRMAN AND PRESIDENT OF THE ANNENBERG FOUNDATION.
So please, tell me how this woman of upstanding character and long affiliation would allow her FactCheck organization to be biased against the candidate she endorses????????????
“The Annenberg Political Fact Check is a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania. The APPC was established by publisher and philanthropist Walter Annenberg in 1994 to create a community of scholars within the University of Pennsylvania that would address public policy issues at the local, state and federal levels.
The APPC accepts NO funding from business corporations, labor unions, political parties, lobbying organizations or individuals. It is funded primarily by the Annenberg Foundation.”

sarenhawk, have you ever seen a certified copy of a birth certificate? My copy, that I used for a passport application, was issued by a different state but had nearly the exact same information on it. (I don’t think the certified copy I had included the name of the hospital.)
laura, and all of you folowing the case file by Berg–in this country, anyone can try to sue anyone else for almost anything. The filing of the suit is not proof of anything. The FALSE rumor that Judge Surrick had ruled on the case and asked Senator Obama for a certified copy of his birth certificate was started by Jon Dryer. On October 7, 2008, Judge Surrick’s clerk confirmed that no decision was made on the case. (see http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/o/obama-ordered-by-judge.htm)
It might help to understand these issues if you did elementary research into the issue from a variety of sources rather than continue to parrot rumors started by a couple of people. (Berg and Andy Martin)

It’s either Palin had an abortion, or there is no record of her being pregnant the year the downs baby was born (as many have speculated, the baby is not Palin’s, but is her daughter’s first child). Either way, Palin is a liar in every aspect of her life and she is unfit to serve.

The “Straight talk express bus” on the road:
*BUMP*…
Bus driver: “What was that???”
Palin: “Oh that was just a minor bump in the road, Trig. Keep driving.”
“As the Wall Street Journal reported, John McCain’s own health care plan would actually cut $1.3 trillion from Medicare and Medicaid that children with disabilities truly depend on, which makes this attack especially hypocritical.”

I guess that we should cut Miss Teen South Carolina some slack for her response after hearing Sarah Palin’s rambling, incoherent answers to almost every spontaneous question she has been asked by the media. I,for one, am completely baffled as to why Kate Snow didn’t look Ms Palin in the eye and say “Excuse me, what did you just say” It’s not being polite. It’s overlooking a frightening inability to speak like an intelligent adult.

Lawsuit Filed Against Obama Claims He’s Not Eligible for the Presidency
Philip J. Berg, Esquire, of Pennsylvania filed a lawsuit on Thursday seeking a Declaratory Judgement and Injunction that Barack Obama does not meet the qualifications to become President of the United States. In the lawsuit Berg alleges that Obama is not eligible for the presidency because he is not a naturalized citizen, and/or lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia, and/or has duel citizenship with Kenya and Indonesia.
Berg said that he has filed the suit on behalf of the Democratic Party and citizens of the United States for their best interests. Berg, an attorney with offices in Montgomery County, PA and an active practice in Philadelphia, filed the lawsuit, Berg vs. Obama, Civil Action No. 08-cv-4083, in Federal Court.
In the filing Berg says:
There have been numerous questions raised about Obama’s background with no satisfactory answers. The questions that I have addressed include, but are not limited to:
1. Where was Obama born? Hawaii; an island off of Hawaii; Kenya; Canada; or ?
2. Was he a citizen of Kenya, Indonesia and/or Canada?
3. What was the early childhood of Obama in Hawaii; in Kenya; in Indonesia when he was adopted; and later, back to Hawaii?
4. An explanation as to the various names utilized by Obama that include: Barack Hussein Obama; Barry Soetoro; Barry Obama; Barack Dunham; and Barry Dunham.
5. Illinois Bar Application – Obama fails to acknowledge use of names other than Barack Hussein Obama, a blatant lie.
If Obama can prove U.S. citizenship, we still have the issue of muti-citizenship with responsibilities owed to and allegance to other countries.
Berg goes on to make very direct accusations against Obama, stating that he “lied and cheated his way into a fraudulent candidacy and cheated legitimately eligible natural born citizens from competing in a fair process.”
Interestingly, Obama isn’t the only one who’s citizenship has been questioned in this election. John McCain’s citizenship was also questioned because he was born on a military base in the Panama Canal Zone, which is not a US territory.
The full court filings and claims can be found at ObamaCrimes.com, Berg’s website. Philip J. Berg is the former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania, former candidate for Govenor and US Senate in Democratic Primaries, former Chair of the Democratic Party in Montgomery County, and former member of the Democratic State Commitee.
This filing comes less than two weeks after an AP photo was revealed of the school register of a child then known as Barry Soetoro, now known as Barack Hussein Obama, whose citizenship was listed as “Indonesian” and whose religion was listed as “Islam.” the photo strongly contradicts the Obama camp’s claim that he was not a Muslim, and is said to confirm he is a national of at least one other country. The AP has confirmed the authenticity of the photograph.

Where the heck is Obama’s COMPLETE medical record, hah?
The only thing that he has released is an one page “Doctor’s Note” like the ones kids bring to school when they are out sick. It basically says that he is in good health!
Why is the freaking media so interested in Palin’s medical records and in Obama’s WHO IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT! The media witches – Catie Curic and Campbell Brownose and their male colleagues – those male sexist pigs at CNN and MSNBC are just looking for reasons to change the subject of the news from “Joe The Plumber” to Palin’s $150,000 louzy dollars wardrobe (I am sure Obama’s designer suits, ties, shoes, and Swiss watches have costed a heck of a lot more) and to her medical records.
Suddenly, the economy is not such a big issue – Palin’s medical records are – and in their twisted brains Palin’s medical records are more importamt thna Obama’s!
Why is Obama not releasing his? Is he hiding some mental illness perhaps? Hah?
Has he had frequent visits to “therapists” and for what reason? Can we see ALL his drug abuse related records? Once an addict, someone is considered an addict all their life even if they are “clean” for years. Th possibility od relapse is always there. Why he is NOT telling us the facts?
Is this is why he has drives of people voting for him early so they will not be able tochange their mind once some more facts come to light?
SHAME ON THE BIASED PARTISAN MEDIA MORONS ESPECIALLY JOHN CLOWN – AS IN JOHN KLEIN – PRESIDENT OF CNN – AS HE HAS RUINED CNN. TO THE OTHER CLOWN – THE PRESIDENT OF NBC/MSNBC NBC – JEFF ZUCKER – I SAY THAT HE IS MORE PATHETIC THAN THE HIS IDIOTS KEITH OLBERMANN AND CHRIS MATHEWS.

I was born in the south just west of Appomattox. There are more McCain Palin signs around my city then ants in a sugar bowl. So I suppose the GOP would consider that real America. But I guess they will still call me anti-American. But I guess do them George Washington was anti-American too. I mean GW’s farewell address was flooded with stuff like “a place for liberalism in a free society” and “political parties have their purposes but ultimately lead to a failed government”. I am just summarizing here (after all it was a long address) but I think the GOP’s should go back and look at where our founding fathers stood on issue. You might find the GOP calling them anti-American too.

Guys with no experience with carrying babies should keep their ignorance to themselves. At 8 months, if your water did break, you think it’s just pressure on your bladder. (Imagine a turkey stuffed inside your belly, Paul, and maybe you’ll have half an inkling of that pressure!) Labor pains? Or is it false labor–which I had the whole last month with all my children.

The “Certificate of Live Birth” on the Obama site is NOT a birth certificate. He could have been born in Kenya, been flown to Hawaii a few days later and then filed in Hawaii for the Certificate of live birth and also had the notice of birth listed in the Hawaiian newspaper. All they need to do is show proof that the birth occurred in Hawaii via an actual birth certificate and/or Hawaii hospital records. There can be only one reason why they have not done so. This could be big…the October surprise

Does Obama have NPD?
September 30, 2008
The 2008 presidential election in America is the most crucial election in this country’s history, not because the issues are that critical but because of Sen. Barack Obama. The Democratic presidential candidate’s language, posture and demeanor suggest that he may suffer from narcissistic personality disorder, or NPD. NPD is a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration and a lack of empathy. The following are some of the symptoms of NPD that can be seen in Sen. Obama:
He subtly misrepresents facts, opportunistically shifts positions, ignores data that conflict with his fantasy world, is overly confident and acts presidential despite commensurate merits and his modest life achievements, considers himself above the law, talks about himself in the third person, has a messianic vision of himself and his “mission,” displays false modesty while often evincing haughtiness, sublimates aggression, holds grudges and behaves as an eternal adolescent. These are narcissistic traits as seen in Sen. Obama by Dr. Sam Vaknin. The author of “The Malignant Self Love,” Vaknin states, “Barack Obama appears to be a narcissist.”
NPD is the prime disorder experienced by all the madmen of history – from Hitler to Stalin, Mao, Kim, Pol Pot, Osama, Khomeini, Saddam and Idi Amin. These men wreaked havoc and killed millions. They looked normal. Few suspected their insanity until it was too late.
Obama shares something else with these infamous narcissists: a chaotic childhood. One determining factor in the development of NPD is childhood abuse, such as the neglecting of his or her emotional needs.
Pathological narcissism is not run-of-the-mill narcissism – someone with a hedonistic or self-centered sense of self – but rather someone with a very weak sense of self. A child who feels inferior, due to real or perceived social rejection, will try to compensate his feeling of inferiority by a subconscious neurotic mechanism, which the pioneering psychiatrist Alfred Adler coined “Superiority Complex.”
Such a person compensates his devalued and injured self with puffery, pomposity and by projecting a false image of majesty and authority. He retreats into a bubble universe of fantasy, in which he is loved, respected and omnipotent. All children create such a fantasy world. Narcissists simply don’t leave it. Since, due to their extreme feeling of inferiority, they don’t fit in the real world, they refuge into this bubble world of fantasy and never get out. This world of pretence becomes to them as real as the real world, to the point that they can’t tell the difference. When Obama acts presidential, he is simply acting out his childhood fantasy of omnipotence and grandeur. Emotionally, he is still a hurt little boy neglected and unloved, in the body and mind of a grown up man.
Narcissists have the emotional maturity of a child, or even an animal, but the intellect of a man. They feel like a beast, but think like a human. What makes narcissists dangerous is their lack of conscience, combined with their superior intelligence and their superb performance ability that fool many. They are predators that outsmart you.
To a narcissist, reality and fantasy are intertwined. He does not just pretend to be omnipotent, omniscient and superior to others; he actually believes it to be so. His delusions of grandiosity are real to him. That is why Obama acts presidential, despite his nugatory life achievements, lack of experience and complete ignorance in economic, political and military matters, as his flip-flopping shows. Obama is a cipher, but in his mind and those of his worshipers, such as Oprah Winfrey, he is “the One,” the messiah who holds the key to all human sufferings.
Narcissism is not just a character flaw, but a mental disorder. Pathological narcissists are dangerous because they look normal and they are intelligent, when in reality they live in a bubble world of fantasy. It is this incoherence, this disjunction between reality and fantasy that makes them overly confident, self-assured and authoritative.
Narcissists disguise their feeling of inferiority by projecting unusual calmness, confidence, assertiveness, dominance and focus, and almost always possess superb thespian, communication and oratorical skills. These are traits that make one charismatic and attract a stampede of votaries like flies to sugar. Narcissists are needy people who crave attention. They develop these skills and act them out with regal exquisiteness to attract love, respect and admiration. They are performers, actors, slick chameleons.
Sadly, all the grace, exuberance, equanimity, charm, positive energy and magnetism that narcissists project, are pretence. They have the same function that the Styrofoam Greek columns at the Democratic National Convention had – to impress. The world of the narcissist is the magical world of smoke and mirrors. He is an illusionist.
NPD, and people’s lack of understanding of it, has made it possible for many insane individuals to rise to the pinnacles of power. It is to this disorder that we owe most of the carnage of history.
When the Bible describes Satan, it gives a textbook definition of narcissism. Narcissists are charming, charismatic, intelligent, persuasive, but deceitful and ruthless. They can seduce multitudes.
When World War II ended and its horrors became known, the world said, “Never Again.” “Never Again” can only work if we choose our leaders wisely. Once a madman is in power, it is already too late.
In an article entitled “Understanding Obama: The Making of a Fuhrer,” I have shown many narcissistic traits that can be observed in Sen. Obama. Should the senator have NPD, all issues in this election would pale in comparison to what is at stake.
Imagine someone with the mindset of Hitler, Khomeini or Kim Jong-il in the White House, with Congress and Senate at his feet. Can you think of a more dreadful scenario?
In the case of Hitler, the only issue that really mattered was his sanity. Instead, the Germans were hoodwinked by his charisma, his oratorical skill and his vacuous promises of change. They paid a hefty price for their negligence. Shouldn’t we learn from their mistakes?
It makes no sense that cops and pilots should be required to take psychiatric evaluation prior to being trusted with a gun or an aircraft, whereas there is no such requirement for those aspiring to run a country and be commander in chief, in charge of weapons of mass destruction.
It is time for the people of the world to demand that those who want to become head of any country submit to rigorous mental checkups. Millions of lives depend on the sanity of these leaders. If the physical health of presidential candidates is important, how much more important is their mental health?
There is no basis upon which to assume Obama would become a murderous tyrant, but there are a number of disturbing traits he shares with murderous world leaders that are worrisome. He can dispel our fears by submitting to a mental checkup.
In the spirit of fairness, I am asking all candidates to submit to this test. Psychiatric evaluation for leaders seeking positions of authority must become mandatory in all countries. Without it we are playing Russian roulette with war and our lives. Imagine how many millions of lives would have been spared only in the last century if aspiring leaders were screened and madmen barred from gaining power.
If you agree this is a vital issue, which transcends all other issues, whatever your political affiliation, I urge you to please sign this petition (follow link below) and invite others to do the same. If enough people become concerned about Sen. Obama’s mental health, they may think twice before casting their votes for him.
Knowledge is Power. Power be with you.

Snorting cocaine, especially just before exams helped him graduate from Harvard.
Barack Hussein Obama’s brain is permanently damaged because of his cocaine addiction.
It is interesting that the left-wing-liberal media clowns spoke so much in the past about President Bush’s alcohol abuse but they are downplaying Barack Hussein’s cocaine addiction.
AMERICA DO NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA – COCAINE AND OTHER DRUGS HAVE FRIED HIS BRAIN!
(still waiting for Obama’s complete medical records)
OBAMA HAS NOT RELEASED HIS COMPLETE MEDICAL RECORDS. HE HAS ONLY RELEASED AN ONE PAGE “DOCTOR’S REPORT”…
I WONDER WHY? MENTAL ILNESS? DRUG ADDICTION? (WE KNOW HE WAS ABUSING DRUGS BUT NOT FOR HOW LONG, ETC)

Partial CNN transcipt regarding Obama’s medical records (for the complete CNN trancript follow URL below).
GUPTA: In May, the Obama campaign released a statement from his doctor of 21 years. It was a one-page summary of his medical records.
Here’s what it said, “Senator Obama has been in excellent health. He has been seen regularly for medical check ups and various minor problems like upper respiratory infections, skin rashes and minor injuries.”
Dr. Ellis says there is no reason to doubt the official statement.

Hmmm, TS clearance background checks and various investigations are on-going…If Obama is elected and the

*****************
Barack Obama Couldn’t Pass a Routine Background Investigation
By Gregory D. Lee
Retired DEA Supervisory Special Agent.
October 10, 2008
A while back, radio talk show host Michael Savage brought up the notion that Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama couldn’t pass a background investigation to become an FBI special agent.
He doesn’t know how right he is.
Sen. Barack Obama wouldn’t pass a routine government background investigation, not only to become an FBI agent, but a police officer as well. If he were a soldier, his background would preclude him from obtaining a security clearance. He wouldn’t even qualify to be a support person in a federal agency, such as secretary, for that matter. His past cocaine usage disqualifies him from being a DEA agent.
There’s another big problem Sen. Obama has: His association and business relationship with Weatherman Underground founder William Ayers, a former domestic terrorist who is still unrepentant for his bombings on U.S. landmarks and police stations. Usually, the company you keep reveals who you really are. Ayers felt then, as he does now, that America is the evil of the world and needs punishing for past and current bad acts. Not many federal agencies would want someone with that kind of chip on his shoulder working for it.
Also, Sen. Obama’s association with Tony Rezko and the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) come to mind. Rezko was just convicted of promoting corruption among Chicago politicians. He helped in the purchase of the senator’s home and was a campaign fundraiser for Obama. ACORN is being investigated by the feds for systematic voter registration fraud. Not good things.
Let’s not forget about Sen. Obama’s pastor and mentor for 20 years, America-hater Rev. Jeremiah Wright. When first questioned about his membership in Wright’s black theology church, Sen. Obama first denied knowing Rev. Wright harbored such negative feelings about the U.S., but after being further pressed, he dismissed the reverend’s conduct as like a “crazy uncle” who lived in the basement. He finally decided that he couldn’t politically afford to stay in the church, and dropped his membership.
To keep job applicants honest, many government agencies such as DEA, FBI, CIA and others require them to take a polygraph examination. Do you think Sen. Obama could pass a polygraph when he approves an ad that mocks Sen. John McCain for being unable to send e-mails without mentioning his poorly mended broken arms while in custody of the North Vietnamese which prevents him from manipulating the computer keyboard? He’s not computer illiterate, he’s handicapped!
Would you want a police officer in your city associating with such people? Not likely. But Obama supporters ignore these associations because they are desperate for a Democrat in the White House.
A federal government full-field background investigation would also look for prior inconsistencies, exaggerations and outright lies on an application for employment.
I once conducted a background check for an applicant to become a secretary for DEA. She had previously worked for a large police department as a secretary, and left the job to have a child. She was ready to re-enter the workforce and wanted to work for DEA. She seemed perfect for the job until the background investigation revealed that she lied on her application. She claimed to have 30-semester hours of college in office management, when in reality she attended one day of one class and then dropped out. The fact that she lied was sufficient justification to consider her application no further. After all, if she would lie about that, what else has she lied about? Obviously the woman lacked integrity, which is a vital qualification for any position within the federal government, even a DEA secretary who would have access to all investigative reports.
I’d like to conduct Sen. Obama’s background investigation. I’d review his application for the Illinois state bar and see if he mentioned the drug usage that he disclosed in one of his books. If the question about drugs was asked, and he denied it at the time, his integrity is immediately put into question. He revealed it in his book to float a balloon to test his potential as a viable presidential candidate. Admitting it prevented his political opponents from attacking him about it. In fact, in the eyes of many Sen. Obama supporters, using drugs enhances his resume. It’s something they can relate to.
Personally I like my presidents to not associate with known criminals, be drug-free for a lifetime, have unquestioned integrity and be able to pass a simple background investigation.

I don’t know if any of you have ever moved or changed doctors, but it is a royal pain in the neck to get your medical records rounded up!!! If she releases some without all, people will say she’s hiding something. I can’t get an allergist to send a copy of my records to my dentist 2 blocks away! Here she is away from home and trying round this stuff up??? What a waste of time!!!

You do not even know the definition of “democracy” or where it was even born! Go hit some history books, BOZO and then come back here to tell us that a retired war hero – POW, who almost lost his life for our country (regardless if the war he was fighting was right or wrong he was fighting for AMERICA) would cause the end of Democracy.
Hide your freaking face – UN-AMERICAN IDIOT. Your MARXIST Savior of the “masses” (the sheep) will end democracy in America.
Yes, morally sound patriotic American people want a war hero as our President. We do not want “whinners” – Harvard “elitists”, who forgot their brains at Harvard and ended up working with terrorists, drug dealers, and other Chicago criminals (he has the audacity to call it “community organizing”).
Oh! I know…he speaks well!

I have been investigating the situation for some time. Dr. Cathy Baldwin-Johnson, the physician who delivered Trig appears to be an honest and dedicated person. If the medical reports includes Dr. Cathy Baldwin-Johnson’s reports on her medical condition, then I will accept them as truthful. If there is no report by Dr. Baldwin-Johnson, we can be sure that the medical reports involve a cover-up.
This issue should have been covered by the mainstream media as soon as the candidacy was announced. It is shameful that the mainstream media was cowed into submission and refused to investigate the fantastic story of Trig’s birth until now.

Now we are diagnosing mental illness ND.
Because Barack “acts presidential” Give me a break. What about MCcain “I know how to win the war” I know how to find Osama” I,I,I, who has ND? Palin recently misspoke saying “in a Palin McCain administration…” delusions of grandure?
What do Michele Obama’s looks have to do with anything? She is a wonderful woman. McCain is so shallow he left his first wife when she became disfigured. Obama married a woman he loved who is lovely but not up to republican beauty standards.I am praying the lord continues to bless Obama and he has a chance to show all of you he only wants the best for America. Say what you will about Democrats but under Bill Clinton we had NO deficit,low unemployment,great foreign relations and America was working. Fox news is a national joke, fair and balanced only to those who want to hear what they want to hear and never mind the opposing view. McCain showed his disdain for this country when he picked an idiot as a running mate. What a nighmare we would be living under her. She has spent more than the average person makes in two years of tax payers money on clothes in two months and then calls Obama elitist.Please wake up!
THE LAWSUIT ABOUT OBAMA’S BIRTH CERTIFICATE was thrown out.
MICHAEL HINKELMAN
Philadelphia Daily News
October 25, 2008
http://www.infowars.com/...
A federal judge in Philadelphia last night threw out a complaint by a Montgomery County lawyer who claimed that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was not qualified to be president and that his name should be removed from the Nov. 4 ballot.
Philip J. Berg alleged in a complaint filed in federal district court on Aug. 21 against Obama, the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission, that Obama was born in Mombasa, Kenya.
Berg claimed that the Democratic presidential standardbearer is not even an American citizen but a citizen of Indonesia and therefore ineligible to be president.
He alleged that if Obama was permitted to run for president and subsequently found to be ineligible, he and other voters would be disenfranchised.
U.S. District Judge R. Barclay Surrick had denied Berg’s request for a temporary restraining order on Aug. 22 but had not ruled on the merits of the suit until yesterday.
Obama and the Democratic National Committee had asked Surrick to dismiss Berg’s complaint in a court filing on Sept. 24.
They said that Berg’s claims were “ridiculous” and “patently false,” that Berg had “no standing” to challenge the qualifications of a candidate for president because he had not shown the requisite harm to himself.
Surrick agreed.
In a 34-page memorandum and opinion, the judge said Berg’s allegations of harm were “too vague and too attenuated” to confer standing on him or any other voters.
Surrick ruled that Berg’s attempts to use certain laws to gain standing to pursue his claim that Obama was not a natural-born citizen were “frivolous and not worthy of discussion.”
The judge also said the harm Berg alleged did “not constitute an injury in fact” and Berg’s arguments to the contrary “ventured into the unreasonable.”
For example, Berg had claimed that Obama’s nomination deprived citizens of voting for Sen. Hillary Clinton in November.(Berg backed Clinton in the primaries.)
Berg could not be reached for comment last night.
Obama was born in Honolulu on Aug. 4, 1961, and the campaign posted a document issued by Hawaii on its Web site, fight thesmears.com , confirming his birth there.
Berg said in court papers that the image was a forgery.
The nonpartisan Web site FactCheck.org examined the original document and said it was legitimate.
Further, a birth announcement in the Aug. 13, 1961, Honolulu Advertiser listed Obama’s birth there on Aug. 4.
