   Meanwhile, as I noted last week, the president himself will now join cronies Valerie Jarrett and Michelle Obama to personally lobby in Copenhagen for Chicago’s bid.

   Wow, Obama sure is a multi talented guy, not only is he a President, he also moonlights as a lobbyist.

   Drudge reports that WFLD-TV has been ordered not to broadcast an anti-Olympics segment again.

   I’d like to know who ‘ordered’, and what the consequence would be if WFLD-TV ignored said ‘orders’. Inquiring minds need to know.

   There’s a lot of money to be made, and, with all the corruption, you know the politicians see a gold mine. For the first time, I am against the U.S. winning the olympic games. All it’s going to do is pad the pockets of the corrupt, already there…and Obama’s pockets too. It’s the only interest. That’s why Obama is going to Copenhagen; to help his buddies and his own bank account. No other reason. You would think, with all the problems in the world, he would be targeting those as potus, rather than some Olympic bid. The corruption is obvious.

    Nah…he will be too busy reading the polls and the reviews of his TV appearances, and studying up for his next campaign stop. NO time to, you know, lead this country. He is nothing but a PR shill for Soros and the Chicago mafia. That’s it. Nothing more. And by the way, if he did read up on the strategy, what good would it do? He has no clue about foreign policy or running a war. As for having the Olympics in Chicago…that would be the absolutely worst decision ever!! I hope that more level heads will prevail in the final decision. Obama has no business getting involved in this. He is very quickly using up all his political capital and this is just another one of his bone-headed decisions.

    Daley, his cronies and family members using the Olympics to enrich themselves regardless of the cost is the greatest risk of all.

    This is, of course, a given. Closer scrutiny will show just how many “connected” Democrats stand to gain lucratively…a simple task, since most of those who would make that list are serving the Obama Administration in someway, or have close family members attached to one of the nipples of public funding.

    I am not opposed to making money, but I am opposed to the obvious “pay to play” scenarios that will form, sub-rosa. Central to the plan for the Chicago Olympic bid will be the federal stimulus money offered to create all those jobs Obama promised…his “friends” will all have a heads up in order to facilitate the formation of all the myriad panels, and organizations that will line up for the Benjamins.

    After all, track record ignored, it is the Chicago way.

    Some people seem to think that the president is taking time away from more important things to go to Copenhagen to lobby for Chicago to get the 2016 games. They’re wrong. He is taking time away from more important things to go get the credit for bringing the Olympics to Chicago. Does anyone seriously believe that the president would take a quick trip to Copenhagen with the possibility of coming back empty-handed? If the president is going, it’s because he knows that Chicago has already won. He’s going.

    Nobody on this blog knows anything about Chicago Politics? What do you know about Chicago public works projects? Meigs Field was tore up in the middle of the night because Daley wanted the airport, well located for small airplanes used by business people, closed. Millenium Park opened 4 years late and three times over budget. Sorry, Olympic commitee, we wont be ready until 2020.
    The Olympics are a “Hail Mary” pass for the Daley administration. His poll numbers are way down, especially after the parking meter fiasco. The amount of public works funds would buoy his profile. The rubber stamp City council voted for a taxpayer guarantee of cost overruns, possibly crippling the city even before the Olympics start.

    I guess I am in minority teritory here (not racially, popularity wise). The Olympics in America stimulates our economy where it is needed most- not in government beaucracies, but the vendors, restaurants, services, etc. Will Chicago businesses profit? I hope so as a capitalist. Some of you have to ask if this is simply distaste for the president. I share the distaste for Obama as president but I am for anything that helps Americans and our economy. I do think the president should distance himself from the Olympic Commitee proceedings as it gives the city an unfair advantage over other US cities and he should represent all of them. It just looks bad.

    I actually think Rocketman has the best idea, make our prospective city one in dire need of repair, like Detroit, at least we will get some significant improvements for our tax dollars. Chicago has its faults but is a great US city IMHO.

    OneMonkeysUncle, you sir are delusional if you do not think Daley sees dollar signs when discussing the Olympics. He would not even be a politician if he did not see every decision in terms of money and power. Again, as a capitalist I am fine with profits, just don’t be hypocritical about it.

    Impeachment is for those who legitimately hold an office.

    Impeachment is not appropriate for Obama because he does not legitimately hold the office of President and Commander in Chief.

    Obama is not a “natural born citizen” for at least one, but possibly even two distinct reasons:

    1) He was born a foreigner (born a subject of a foreign nation), due to blood (his father), regardless of the soil (location) where he was born.

    2) He may not have even been born on U.S. soil. He has yet to produce an original long-form birth certificate, and Hawaiian officials are denying the law to conceal “index records” that they are required by law to release. These index records show evidence that Obama’s birth certificate has been amended.

    Not only has Obama waived privacy interests, the state waived them as well. More important is the fact that state law governs that no privacy interest exception applies when the information requested is required to be released under the UIPA at 92F-12.

    The only question is whether Hawaii will obey its own laws.

    I will publish this report late tonight or early tomorrow morning.

    Please repost far and wide.

    Meanwhile, as I noted last week, the president himself will now join cronies Valerie Jarrett and Michelle Obama to personally lobby in Copenhagen for Chicago’s bid.

    I think there will be too much fodder to be able to stuff into the paperback edition. Perhaps a yearly volume would be more in line (and there is no doubt that there would be enough fodder for that endeavor).

    Obama is not a “natural born citizen” for at least one, but possibly even two distinct reasons:

    1) He was born a foreigner (born a subject of a foreign nation), due to blood (his father), regardless of the soil (location) where he was born.

    2) He may not have even been born on U.S. soil. He has yet to produce an original long-form birth certificate, and Hawaiian officials are denying the law to conceal “index records” that they are required by law to release. These index records show evidence that Obama’s birth certificate has been amended.

    Lets not forget he went to Indonesia and changed his name(adopted-SOTERO) and attended a school reserved for legal citizens of Indonesia only. Or his Occidental college records possibly showing he got financial aid for being a foreign student. Lastly, has he ever explained how he went to Pakistan in the 80′s when only an American diplomat could have entered the country legally?

    Impeachment is not appropriate for Obama because he does not legitimately hold the office of President and Commander in Chief.

    Okay, we remove Obama. Hmm. You want Biden as Potus? He’s so lost I doubt he would even recognise the White House. Okay, throw him out too. That leaves Pelosi, and I’m catching the first plane out of the country. Obama got himself covered.

    graysonret,

    Some things to think about…

    1) Obama was NEVER eligible to hold the office, so if/when exposed and removed, I believe the following Constitutional phrase would apply:

    if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified;

    2) John McCain also fails to qualify.

    3) Therefore, the no eligible candidate received even a single Electoral College vote for President.

    4) The Electoral College would need to meet again to cast votes for candidates who are actually eligible to hold the office of President.

    5) “We the People” could contest the choice of Electors in our respective states, because those Electors were selected based on popular votes for ineligible Presidential candidates. I.E., the states have a “do-over” election to choose Presidential Electors.

    6) Those Electors meet, vote for President (and Vice-President, if Biden’s election is deemed illegitimate, too, as the electors were chosen based on ineligible Presidential candidates).

    7) The Electoral College vote is sent to a new joint session of Congress, votes counted, confimed, and a new President (and possibly Vice-President) sworn in.

    If/when Obama is exposed and removed, Pelosi will be found guilty of perjury on the notarized document where she swore that Obama was Constitutionally eligible to hold the office of President. She’s going down, too.

    I was just reading in Isaiah 3:3 and looked at the notes for “eloquent orator” and it shows an alternate Hebrew translation of “skillful enchanter.”

    Boy does that ever fit Obama!

    Uh – not to drop a turd in the punchbowl of daily outrage, but Chicago was awarded final contender status for the 2016 Olympics in April, 2007 – more than two and a half years ago. Faux outrage, rending of hair and gnashing of teeth didn’t begin to be covered here until the announcement of 0bama’s involvement – a couple of days ago. Where was the shrieking about all this over the last couple of years?

    Whine much?

    SixDegrees,

    It was Obama’s Chicago that is attempting to control the press by limiting what they can say about Chicago’s bid. There really was no “outrage” about Chicago’s bid from people outside that city until it came to light that they are following through with the jackbooted tyranny that the left promises.

    BTW – From 2000 until 2008, there was plenty of whining and gnashing of teeth – from the Left. Now that SuperLefty is the boss, it’s illegal to say anything negative (also known as the truth) about him or his buddies.

    I agree that there should be no “outrage” about Obama’s involvement in boosting Chicago’s bid for the games – it’s his hometown.. well, sort of. You can’t blame a guy for helping out in a situation like this. However, deliberately silencing the press and dissent is the EXACT reason and a perfect example of why I have a problem with the Democrats. Socialism can only be successful in a totalitarian environment.

    The first thing that came to mind is…

    If only 6% of the stimulus package has been spent, will some of the rest go toward early preparation for the 2016 Olympics, should Chicago be selected?

    With Obama, everything about him is to force the taxpayer to pay for his crap. Imagine all those jobs created in Chicago! Hocus Pocus Change-O Bam!
