“New analysis of Democrat Party’s official 2008 Certification of Nominations for Obama reveals that reasons for his sudden trip to Hawaii in October, 2008 were to visit more than just his sick grandmother.
Hawaiian election laws, media accounts and post-dated documents reveal he may have attended a private hearing with the Hawaiian Chief Elections Officer regarding his disqualification from the Hawaiian ballot due to lack of certified Constitutional eligibility.”
This is a fairly lengthy report about the cover up of Obama’s records. Pour your favorite iced beverage, settle into your comfy chair, and read this, headlined:
Hawaii Ballot Chief…Grandma, Called Obama To Hawaii In 2008 … to help cover up the birth registration and other document fraud and obfuscations by Hawaiian officials | @ THE DAILY PEN: OCON DOCS

From the Daily Caller:
An aide described as Donald Trump’s “Karl Rove” declined to discuss details of the real estate mogul’s ongoing investigation in Hawaii into President Obama, saying it would be “completely counterproductive” to tip Trump’s hand, allowing Obama to then shield himself from the investigation.
Michael Cohen, Trump’s aide, did not provide any other details about the investigation besides that “people,” plural, are in Hawaii.
[ snip ]
Cohen said revealing details about Trump’s Hawaii investigation could jeopardize it, because it would allow Obama and his lawyers to take moves to thwart it.
The aide at one point cited a report by author Jerome Corsi to buttress a factual point about the circumstances of Obama’s birth.
Corsi has made a crusade of investigating Obama’s birthplace at World Net Daily and in a forthcoming book. But his previous work is controversial. For instance, Corsi has flirted with conspiracy theories that say radical Islamist terrorists did not perpetrate the 9/11 attack.
Although Cohen would not say anything about his investigation in Hawaii, Trump has said on television his investigators “cannot believe what they’re finding.”
In the Atlantic, Joshua Green interviewed an anonymous person who has searched public records in Hawaii for documents relating to Obama’s birth, likely on behalf of one of Obama’s political opponents.
The person described how to find two newspaper announcements of Obama’s birth and records showing the address given for infant Obama was the house of his mother’s parents. Obama’s father was living at another address at the time, the records show.

Nancy Pelosi, disappearing into a gaseous vapor
Charlotte from Hollywood, CA makes a movie analogy:

“The 2012 Senate class includes 23 Democrats and only 10 Republicans, and the stunning imbalance means that Democrats will be on the defensive throughout the cycle unless the political environment shifts dramatically to their party.” — Stuart Rothenberg, Roll Call
***
Many Americans are apparently fascinated with the phenomenon known as Donald Trump. So much so, that many polls have him trailing only Mitt Romney in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. And that’s currently. On Tuesday, most likely in an effort to seem reasonable, Mr. Romney tried to undercut Mr. Trump, saying that Barack Obama’s birthplace is irrelevant because his mother was an American. Ironically, such reasonableness is likely to backfire. Why? A lot of Americans are sick to death of “reasonable” Republicans.First, let me state that I think Donald Trump would make a lousy president. A great king perhaps, but not a great president. This is a critical distinction in that the former is constitutionally constrained, while the latter can do whatever he pleases. Mr. Trump is a shameless self-promoter with a giant ego, and it is hard to imagine the man for whom “you’re fired!” is an integral part of his mindset coping with the inevitable compromises that accompany the job of president. Yet there is something uniquely refreshing abut a man who speaks his mind without worrying about the consequences. Such is what separates him from the typical politician, especially Republican politicians. It is also what makes him enormously attractive to so many Americans.
Even more so when one considers who Mr. Trump would be running against.
Barack Obama is many things, but first and foremost he is a hypocrite. Perhaps the most hypocritical president of the modern era. No other individual occupying the White House has had a verifiable track record of more diametrically opposed positions than Mr. Obama. He was against war in Iraq and took us into Libya without Congressional approval. He wants to cut America’s appetite for imported oil by one third, yet goes to Brazil and promises them that America will be one of their best customers when that country ramps up its own oil production. He is submitting a “deficit reduction” plan less than three months after he submitted the most reckless federal budget ($3.7 trillion with over $1.6 trillion in deficit spending) in the history of the nation. He has completely repudiated his 2006 vote against raising the debt ceiling to $8.9 trillion, which he characterized as a “lack of leadership, even as he proposes to raise it to more than $14 trillion in 2011.
In other words, anyone with the slightest bit of gumption could hammer this president, along with his re-distributionist, America is “just another country” agenda. A real man or woman could take him to task for fiddling with an odious health care bill for over two years while the American economy burned. Someone with a backbone could remind the electorate that free market enterprise isn’t about nationalizing banks, insurance and car companies, and the student loan program.
A strong Republican candidate would tell America that the essence of gangster government is a combination of czars, cabinet departments and agency heads attempting to impose their will on Americans without the input of Congress. A person with genuine convictions could explain that three trillion dollars of stimulus, whether in the form of creating “shovel ready” jobs that didn’t exist (as this president has admitted), Quantitative Easing which is debasing our currency and driving up the price of oil and food, or propping up public sector employment at the expense of taxpayers, is a complete debacle.
Which Republican is that? So far, no one.
Which is why The Donald resonates. And he has done America a great service in one respect: he has demonstrated that the current president is thin-skinned. When Obama campaign advisor David Plouffe referred to Donald Trump’s gyrations regarding the president’s birth certificate as a “sideshow,” such was an indication that the sideshow was front and center in the White House. If it wasn’t, Mr. Plouffe wouldn’t have mentioned it at all. By making Trump visible–instead of irrelevant–Mr. Plouffe has reinforced the notion held by many that Mr. Obama is both insecure and narcissistic, in that he feels it necessary to respond to “baseless” accusations.
Yet the “birther” issue itself reveals one of two things about Mr. Trump as well. If he is not running for president, keeping the issue alive is his way of revealing the hypocrisy of a mainstream media whose incuriosity about Mr. Obama’s entire past borders on scandalous. Even if one subtracts the question of Mr. Obama’s birthplace from the equation completely, the fact that most of his earlier life remains off-limits to the American public is a testament to media bias. It is worth remembering the same media managed to dig up a 24-year-old DUI arrest on George W. Bush five days before the 2004 election, and attempted to pin a bogus extra-marital affair on John McCain during the 2008 campaign–even as a cabal of JournoListers attempted to smear anyone who linked Barack Obama with racial arsonist Rev. Jeremiah Wright, despite the fact that the president attended his church for twenty years. Yet if Mr. Trump is running for president he demonstrates a certain level of naivete. Assuming Mr. Obama has a legitimate birth certificate, he will release it when it is likely to: a) do the most damage to his opponent, b) accrue to his greatest interest, or c) both.
Memo to Mr. Trump: they don’t call them “October surprises” for nothing.
So who is Donald Trump? For a smart Republican presidential candidate, Mr. Trump is a template. He is the antithesis of the Republicans’ last presidential candidate, for whom taking on Barack Obama in no uncertain terms was viewed as undignified or unseemly. The bet here is Americans have had it up to their eyeballs with polite Republicans like John McCain, who refused to engage in anything resembling vigorous debate, perhaps fearful of being labeled racist for daring to do so.
President Obama, who has told his followers “if they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun” on one occasion, and “we’re going to punish our enemies” on another, is hardly deserving of such deferential treatment. This is what Mr. Trump intuitively understands. It is about time other Republicans learned that lesson as well. 2012 is one of the most critical elections in memory, and allowing Democrats and/or their media cheerleaders to frame the parameters of “acceptable” rhetoric is a fool’s errand. The best defense is a good offense. Any Republican presidential candidate incapable of making the president defend his policies is no candidate at all.
Warts and all, Donald Trump calls it like he sees it. Will any other Republican do the same?

Sipping on that oh-so-good nectar of the morning gods (Dunkin Donuts coffee — 19 bucks a 2.5 lb bag @ Costco), I found this in my email from Neil Turner with the Citizens for the Constitution :

Turner said when writer Jim O’Neill saw it, he was inspired to write the article below. Turner had to know about my erudite opinion piece focused like a laser on the phony pony Ann Coulter. Or its a strange coincidence…
I report, you decide.
P.S. LTC Terry Lakin now languishes in Leavenworth – for asking the same question that Trump is asking!
Help Trump Dump the Chump!
- Jim O’Neill Tuesday, April 12, 2011
To give credit where it’s due, the idea for this article’s title came from an email a friend sent me. I like the phrase “Help Trump dump the chump.” What it lacks in sophistication, it more than makes up for with a certain je ne sais quoi. Alliteration seldom sounded so good.
http://www.theobamafile.com/obamacolb.htmBe that as it may—Ann Coulter “roved” herself badly Monday night on Sean Hannity’s show (I’ve coined the term “roved” in honor of Karl Rove, who repeatedly shot himself in the foot supporting a RINO in last year’s Senate race in Delaware).
http://www.businessinsider.com/heres-the-real-reason-karl-rove-flipped-out-on-christine-odonnell-2010-9On Hannity’s show, Coulter (who is often quite sensible) carried on about the question of Obama’s eligibility as if it were a subject that no sensible person would ever dare bring up for risk of looking like some clueless Neanderthal—as if the question of Obama’s eligibility to be POTUS had been ordained by the gods, and carved in granite long, long ago.
http://mediamatters.org/blog/201104120001Coulter’s attitude is representative of the anti-birther “conservatives” who seem oblivious of the tsunami of public opinion headed their way. Conservatives who are not prepared to surf the tsunami are going to be submerged, swept away, and sunk.
http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2009/07/28/conservative_birthersDonald Trump’s attack-dog pursuit of the eligibility issue is going to flush out faux conservatives, controlled opposition, and brain-dead idiots like you would not believe.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsO3ToM_rDY&feature=player_embeddedBefore briefly discussing the birth certificate issue let me stress this point—Obama’s eligibility to be POTUS does not hinge on his birth certificate. There are a whole slew of unanswered questions, nefarious relationships, and outright fabrications surrounding Obama’s past. The question that should be front and center is “Who the h%#@l is this guy?”
http://citizenwells.wordpress.com/2011/04/10/donald-trump-obama-investigation-passport-requirements-clarified-some-short-abstract-versions-of-birth-certificates-may-not-be-acceptable/Be that as it may, the COLB (Certification Of Live Birth) that has been haughtily waved in our face (figuratively speaking) as proof of Obama’s eligibility to be POTUS, does in fact prove nothing. Leaving aside the question of its validity, Hawaiian COLBs are about as hard to come by as a fake ID in Bangkok. I would get one myself to prove it to you, but then I would get arrested for breaking the law.

This absurd Kafkaesque scenario is worthy of a short play by Samuel Beckett:
Customs Inspector: “May I see your passport please?”
Barack Obama: “I will show it to you as soon as you prove that I do not have one.”
The curtain drops—finis. The audience wants their money back.

UPDATED WITH VIDEO

The O’Bloviator’s been spinning on the Factor again, folks. This pompous ass is amazingly sloppy with his facts. Maybe his producers aren’t “watching out for him”? Deliberately feeding him misinformation to make him look even more foolish than he already does? Or…naw! Couldn’t be he’d intentionally lie to YOU, the folks he’s watching out for….
Retired USNR Commander Charles Kerchner, lead plaintiff in the case of Kerchner et al v Obama caught this on Wednesday evening’s “The Spin Stops Here But not Really, O’Reilly” show.
Bill O’Reilly told a big fat whopper and piece of disinformation on the ending email comments segment of his TV show tonight when he said in answer to an email comment about Obama having a SSN from CT, O’Reilly then said that Obama’s father lived for several years in CT and probably got it for his son.
When that CT number was issued circa Mar 1977, Obama’s father was back in Kenya for many years and Obama was age 15 living in Hawaii in the legal custody of his maternal grandparents. There is no way Obama Sr. in Kenya could have requested a SSN for Obama Jr. living in Hawaii and got issued a CT SSN.
It also should be pointed out that Harvard, which is the New England college Obama Sr. attended for a few years in the early 1960s before returning to Kenya, is in Massachusetts, not Connecticut. So O’Reilly is either completely stupid or he is purposely putting out false information to protect Obama.
NOTE: OReilly attended Boston College and took a course or two at Harvard. He knows quite well where both those institutions of higher learning are located.
Is O’Reilly dancing to the tune or Obama’s Homeland Security Department warnings and disinformation to keep Obama’s usurpation a national security secret with fear of violence threats if Obama’s fraud is exposed or is O’Reilly simply a closet progressive and Obama’s lapdog?
Listen to this audio interview of Susan Daniels, Licensed Private Investigator, of the great state of Ohio at about 18 minutes and 25 seconds in where she destroys the above false story that O’Reilly repeated tonight. Listen to the entire audio if you have time. It’s 34 minutes full of good, solid information on the Obama fraudulent use of a CT SSN.
http://www.t-room.us/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/SDInterview.mp3Obama should be charged with criminal felony identity theft for using since at least 1986 someone else’s CT SSN, and criminal felony Selective Service Registration fraud for filing a back-dated SSS registration via his contacts in the Chicago IL regional selective service registration office circa 2007/2008 when he decided to run for President.
The truth must be allowed to come out. It will come out eventually. The longer the grifter and usurper in chief is in the Oval Office and is the commander of our military, the more damage he will do to our nation, republic, and constitution. When will the cowardly Congress and courts act? The Central American country of Honduras had more backbone in dealing with an unconstitutional President than our Congress and Courts do. Obama is making American the laughing stock of the world and is a grave threat to our liberty. He must be removed by Congress as a usurper.
