Obama delays signing 'urgent' stimulus for Chicago fun
American Thinker ^ | February 15, 2009 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 02/15/2009 4:26:30 PM PST by Joiseydude

After telling the nation it was so urgent to pass the stimulus bill there was no time to even read it, President Obama took off for Chicago with wife Michelle, to dine at a fancy Chicago restaurant and spend the night at home in Hyde Park for Valentine's Day. The Bill will just have to wait for him to sign it next Tuesday.

How to explain this odd behavior? Was this a calculated move? What could be the thinking behind it?

Obama and his advisors are no doubt counting on the press to avoid noticing the contradiction between the alleged urgency and taking time off. This neglect is a necessary precondition for all that follows.

It is so we have a chance to read and then we can tell him if we really want it.

Not even four weeks in office and already he has to take a four day vacation? I wish I had that type of benefits.

Just like grandma, we may not all get a chance to see four years.
Gitmo closing, terrorist being re least, the bankrupting of our country. CRIMINALS running the White House.

If people are unhappy with Obama, they should think about asking Congress to investigate whether he is even a natural born citizen. He may only be a naturalized citizen, if that. But because he has been hiding his original, complete birth certificate (nobody has seen it), we just do not know if he's even a legal president.

If it turns out that The Undocumented One is found to be ineligible to be president according to the Constitution, then everything he does now will be null and void. Everything. Every appointment, every bill, every signature on every document -- all of it will be as if it never happened.

Would you rather this occur now, when the damage can still be contained, or do you want to wait three years or two, until the matter is totally unavoidable due to demonstrations by people who are fed up with the cover-ups?

Please ask your state's senators and congressmen to help the people of America learn the truth about the identity of the man living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. He may, in fact, be an impostor.

Don't you want to be sure? Are you really sure now that he's the legal president?

I'm not, and there are millions of us who feel this way, and we will not be silenced.

It wouldn't make any difference since we still have to contend with the three traitors, and they won't change their minds. I'm afraid we're in for a long, long, four years.

My teenage son mentioned the other day that people(in his circle) are already becoming irritated with Obama.

One of my best friends teaches in an almost all black high school, and last week she told me that one of her students said in class, "I'm sick of seeing his face everywhere. I'm getting sick of him already," and other kids did not protest or smack this student down. I thought this was interesting since my friend was previously bombarded, overwhelmed, and disgusted with Obamania at this school.

Good point, hadn’t grasped that one yet.

Obama seems obsessed with the trappings of office. I think he, and probably his wife even more so, think they are making up for every black guy who suffered a slight by parading around this way.

When Pres.Bush took office one of the most important things he had to say, was, OUR ENEMIES ARE WITHIN. Pres.Bush was doing a great job at helping others around the world but unable to fight the war at home. Every day was a day of hell for him, the communist left thru everything at him except the kitchen sink. They also used foreign leaders like Chavez to throw a few punches. Joe Kennedy should have been arrested and put in prison for dealing with Chevez. Biden another that belongs in prison for his part in covering up the money trail in Iraq for the Clintons and the Demorats.
One diversion after another, busy rigging elections for the invasion of the RATS, to take over the House and Senate. The only way was to keep up the attacks on Pres.Bush. They also knew they could use Pres.Bush as their fall guy and got on TV saying the only thing McCain can do is distance himself from Pres.Bush and he did, how stupid he was, so I thought. The fact is, I honestly think
McCain went along with the RATS once again thru the election. bozo won nothing, Acorn and McCain won, both
election fraud.
I feel really bad that Sarah Palin was used and thrown to
the wolves.
Can anyone name one Demorat that has run for President in the last six years that has had no criminal record?

"If Obama is doing it, there must be a good reason for it."

Therein is the delusion of the world.

It is much better to ruled than governed, isn't it?

We the Sheeple, in order to form a more perfect Socialist Utopia, give all our assets, responsibilities and free will to a pencil necked Commie with a Napoleon complex, an Empty Headed Bimbo and an old guy with Dementia from Searchlight Nevada.

The REAL Obama is starting to show. (As if he hadn’t before — just an empty head and an empty suit.)

Oh, did I mention that he has no financial discipline instilled in his character? Not a good choice for President at all.

But we all knew that, right?

Pride goes before the fall.

O has bought in and believes the lie. (Millie Vanilli style)

The standard program is that he will alienate his inner circle and supporters, he will have sex with a woman other than his wife, his arrogance and imperiousness will anger congress and the press, he will tailspin, all his dirty laundry will out and his wife will leave him.

I do not mean to presage events but rather I am predicting the past. This scenario has been played out in history thousands of times on large and small scales.

It always ends the same way.

Even though I know what is gong to happen, there is no way to know what the national or the global impact will be. I suspect it will not be good at least in the short term.

It’s simple: are you as free today as you were yesterday?

The answer is no.

Are those that believe humans are born in servitude to one another winning?

The answer is yes.

Freedom is fragile. Once we lose it we won’t get it back without the deaths, injuries and great sacrifices by millions.

America happened because it was created in a political vacuum. The vacuum is not coming back without a MAJOR catastrophe. Now, we have the close to impossible task of changing an in-place, EXTREMELY powerful government—bloodshed is inevitable.

The conservatives are not taking this seriously enough. There is a tipping point at which it is gone for good—we are very close to this point.

We should be in the streets creating havoc in response to what has been hoisted upon us and many future generations.

Where are the fighting people? Where are the assemblies, the protests, the resistance?

I just don’t understand why you aren’t fighting America.

Is there a good reason for remaining passive and silent?

What will it take to get put you in motion, the most free people on the planet—the ones with the most to lose?

Can anyone tell me why now is not a good time to fight, really fight?
