Requiem for a teleprompter

One of President Obama’s teleprompters met an untimely death today.

R.I.P.

I hear Sheila Jackson-Lee is working on a congressional resolution honoring TOTUS.

The White House has not yet decided on an open- or closed-casket viewing.

    I would think the implications of that would be huge.

    We’ll have to wait and see, BOB, but this very sudden & odd 180 is a sign that somebody wants to avoid having a legal hearing where Obama’s BC is at issue.

    Here’s a few of the “other records” along with Obama’s birth certificate – that are not available, including Obama’s kindergarten records, Punahou school records, Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, passport, medical records, files from his years as an Illinois state senator, Illinois State Bar Association records, any baptism records and his adoption records.

    Not an all encompassing list, but you should get the idea.

    This deveopment – the sudden 180 – is an important milestone even tho the journey is a long one.

    Here’s the deal. If you want people to engage you or take you seriously, check your facts and provide links. Americans for Freedom of Info does not exist. It’s a hoax. There is no article in Daily Mail or AP, and if there is a transcript, no evidence provided that Barry Soetoro = Dear Leader.

    This is a hoax flying around blogs and is less credible than the great Dan Rather Bush TX Air National Guard document drop.

    Stay focused please.

    I posted that, in part, to see if anyone else knew anything about it.
    Even if that organization is a hoax, there still may be something to the claim. Most of Obama’s other important records have been barred from release also, as is noted in some subsequent postings here.

    Actually, I did see the hoax claims before posting that but I’ve found that snopes,urban legends, etc, are not what I would call 100% objective and tend to lean left. I trust the people here more.

    purealchemy – My appologies if you felt beaten up, that was not the point or intent. One reason I follow MM is that when she posts something here it has been fact checked and verified. When I read your post, my first reaction was wow, if true this is huge. At the same time my BS alarm was going off. It took only a few minutes to confirm.

    The real story is Maj. Cook refused to deploy and filed suit in civil court challenging Obama’s eligibility as his commander. His orders to deploy were then recinded. That is verified. Could mean many things, including the administration wanting the issue to go away.

    All the other info (Occidental transctipt etc) is bogus, and if we continue to perpetuate it, the truth and real issue gets burried in the garbage and discredited. I suspect that was the very intent of the hoax. That’s why we need to stay focused.

    I appreciate your contributions here, and really don’t want to discourage you. God knows we need all the help we can get! Thanks!

    Thanks for the response.
    I probably should have prefaced with a question like, “Does anyone know anything about this? Is it totally a hoax or is there some truth in it?”
    Anyway, yes, I agree, that the Major Cook story is much bigger. Especially being terminated from his civilian job.
    Unless than turns out to be misinformation also. Who knows until it gets kicked around for awhile.

    Everything else is becoming Obama’s personal tool. Next thing is no dissent allowed in the military even if it falls in the “Whistleblower” category.

    purealchemy – The problem is that if some of a report proves false, the cridibility of the whole is in question. Here, the “smoking gun” would be the Occidental transcript, and documented proof that Barry Soertoro was actually Obama. Without that, the story is meaningless. If it existed, it would be all over Drudge and Fox in a heartbeat. Some other clues that signal BS in the story:

    1. Quick google check re: Americans for FOI, the group supposedly holding the smoking gun. Bogus.

    2. Always question lots of authoritative sounding sources without links or specifics.

    - AP Washington and Daily Mail = no related story.

    - Scalia and SCOTUS don’t hear cases based on pressure from “groups”, but on the merits of the cases.

    - Gary Kreep of the US Justice Foundation. Things that make you go hmmmm.

    If this transcript happens to turn up and is verified, I will rejoice in eating my words! ‘Till then we need to move on.

    Again, I value your input, and am sorry if I was too abrupt. Lets get Dear Leader out of our mysery!

    Thanks a bunch, Swede!

    I generally concur with your research techniques and I am a Fox Cable news and Drudge junkie.
    For myself, with a background of being a dyed-in-the-wool John Birch Society person, trained on my mother’s knee, I find that even as thrilled as I am that there’s a truly viable conservative media challenge to the MSM, there’s still a level of investigation I’m hoping to find that still isn’t there.
    JBS made a huge breakthrough recently when the Pres. John McManus, made it to Judge Napolitano’s online show by popular vote. Napolitano conceded that growing up the Birch Society was considered “taboo”. That means “nutty”, just like Major Cook was labelled for protesting Obama’s citizenship.
    What the Birch Society has been warning about for decades is coming to fruition.
    This is real. It’s not some UFO stuff.
    As usual, people don’t listen until it is too late.

    Other than JBS, a highly trusted source is Aaron Klein on WorldNetDaily.
    Some of his investigation seems to have filtered to Fox regarding ACORN. Or maybe they got it some other way. Who knows?

    Exactly right! Which is again why we need to stay focused and not propagate rumors unless verifiable. The Birch Society lost credibility by Wilkins et al making some rather radical accusations that could not be backed up, causing even Wm F Buckly to distance himself from them. So their voice is not heard, even though they are right on target.

    People are beginning to listen now. Dear Leader’s job approval is sinking fast, and in some polls already negative. Lets focus on the specifics of why the stimulus in nonsense, Cap and Trade Tax, and the health care nonsense. People are already seeing this swill for what it is and calling fowl.

    BTW, I would put the male/female ratio here at closer to 50/50. And personally, I think the ladies add more depth and style. But don’t tell anyone I said so, I’ll deny it. Kind of interesting that you can usually tell the gender by the writing.
