Breaking!! Obama at prayer breakfast says can question his policies, but not his citizenship.
politico ^ | 2/4/2010 | p

Posted on 02/04/2010 6:43:03 AM PST by milwguy

Speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast, President appeals for a return to "civility" in politics. "You can question my policies without questioning my faith -- or for that fact, my citizenship," he says, a reference to those who insist Obama wasn't born in Hawaii.

the citizenship comment was read off the Teleprompter. This was no off the cuff joke, it was deliberate White House strategy.

have been thinking about your comment since this AM....What strategy would it enhance? Is there an Alinsky method that it would fit into? Is there something in the courts that would trigger this comment? Nothing seems to fit in my mind.

We HAVE to get law and order back, and accountability to the people. That is even more important, in my humble opinion, than what happens to Obama. I believe you are correct, but don't expect a simple surrender. It will be a major propaganda battle unlike any we've ever seen.

Is something about to break? Maybe that is why he told people not to listen to the news anymore.

0bamas’ hidden records: Why are these off limits?

1 Certified copy of original birth certificate
2 Columbia University transcripts
3 Columbia thesis paper
4 Campaign donor analysis requested by 7 major watchdog groups
5 Harvard University transcripts
6 Illinois State Senate records
7 Illinois State Senate schedule
8 Law practice client list and billing records/summary
9 Locations and names of all half-siblings and step-mother
10 Medical records (only the one page summary released so far)
11 Occidental College Transcripts
12 Parent’s marriage Certificate
13 Record of baptism
14 Selective Service registration records
(Did Obama Actually Register for Selective Service?
This supposed revelation of 0's SS records has been debunked here and here.)
15 Schedules for trips outside of the United States before 2007
16 Passport records for all passports
17 Scholarly articles
18 SAT and LSAT test scores
19 Access to his grandmother in Kenya
20 List of all campaign workers that are lobbyists
21 Punahou grade school records
22 Noelani Kindergarten records are oddly missing from the the State of Hawaii Department of Education.
23 Page 11 of Stanley Ann Dunham's divorce decree.
24 Why did Barack Obama resign from the Illinois bar and where are all of the relevant documents?
25 Why did Michelle Obama resign from the Illinois bar after only about four years of practice and where are all of the relevant documents?

Anyone who cares about their country would be very concerned that a POTUS had hidden every scrap of information of his life that he possibly could.

There’s a possibility he isn’t even an American citizen at all.

I think he sort of let the cat out of the bag there.

I think Obama uses this citizenship thing as a tactic to demean his opponents as crazy, and also as a warning to 'mainstream' political and media types to stay away from this subject. When was the last time the media talked about the crazy 'birther' movement? Ask yourself why Obama would now bring that topic up if the furor has died down?

Exactly. He loves the birther rumors because it distracts people from looking at his socialist, statist, agenda.

HI Attorney General’s office refuses to corroborate Obama’s HI Birth

THE POST AND EMAIL ^ | Feb. 2, 2010 | John Charlton
While political momentum is building within the Democratic Party from coast to coast to make the issue of Obama’s claims to be born in Hawaii a litmus test for its political opponents in the 2010 general elections for Congress, a key component in such a strategy has been undermined by the Hawaii Attorney General’s Office. In correspondence with The Post & Email, Jill T. Nagamine, Deputy Attorney General for the State of Hawaii, has made it clear that her office will not corroborate or back in any way the July 27, 2009 Statement of Dr. Chiyome Fukino, Director of the...

Chrysler bankruptcy lawyers raise eligibility question

WorldNetDaily ^ | February 3, 2010 | Bob Unruh
Lawyers defending the government-orchestrated deal by which Chrysler was purchased by Fiat and hundreds of dealers were thrown out of the network have raised President Barack Obama’s eligibility for office as a possible issue in the dispute. In a footnote in their latest court filing, attorneys representing the old car company at the firm of Jones Day have cited a “scheme” purportedly on the part of the lawyers for the former Chrysler dealers – the plaintiffs in the case. “Although the debtors have no independent knowledge of these matters, the debtors have taken note of certain public statements connecting the...

Why protest about ? Why demonize the opposition about it ? Why send out talking points about it when ? there is no " there, THERE " ?

Because it is part of the Dem's political strategy of distract, divide, and attack. They will try to make the opposition appear to be the lunatic fringe, i.e., birthers and deniers. It has nothing to do with Obama's policies. Rather it has to do with his citizenship and his race. The MSM will be his lap dogs in framing the issue that way in much the same way they have perpetuated the myth of manmade global warming. The overwhelming majority of Americans believe that Obama was born in Hawaii. And they are not aware of such distinctions as natural born when it comes to being born of a parent who is a citizen of another country.

Here is the Dem strategy memo.

"The memo urges Democratic candidates to force their opponents to answer a series of questions on health care, taxes and some of the favorite causes of the far right:

“Do you believe that Barack Obama is a U.S. citizen? Do you think the 10th Amendment bars Congress from issuing regulations like minimum health care coverage standards? Do you think programs like Social Security and Medicare represent socialism and should never have been created in the first place? Do you think President Obama is a socialist? Do you think America should return to a gold standard?”

"If a Republican candidate says no to any of the questions, the memo says Democrats should “make their primary opponent or conservative activists know it. This will cause them to take heat from their primary opponents and could likely provoke a flip-flop, as it already has several times with Mark Kirk in Illinois.”

He wants to bring it up before it’s forcibly brought up. A simple defensive tactic.

Yes, you’re absolutely right. And they’ve got the communications czar doing whatever he wants with our communications, Obama’s lawyer threatening the major media heads, a judicial system which says none of us has standing as we watch our country go to pot, ACORN registering dead voters, all the productive money going to the unions so they can keep their masses ignorant...

You better believe it’s going to be the propaganda battle of our lives. Obama made a swipe at bloggers - telling fellow dems to stop listening to cable news and the blogs - because he knows that this is where he is losing.

We’re all sort of like the “Who’s” in “Horton Hears a Who”. We’re all saying “Yop” and it never is loud enough to make an impact. But who knows which of us will be the “Yop” that blows the whole thing open? That’s why we have to keep informing each other. Eventually everybody will know the Emperor is naked but he won’t know we know. And that’s when the fun begins.

We need to keep making the facts known and eventually there will be no place left for them to hide. It’s tiring but I’ll keep plugging away...

AT this juncture I’d say it’s a very good possibility.

He’s really stupid then because even people who embrace socialism and that garbage don’t exactly appreciate being lied to and screwed. Government corruption is despicable to everyone except the ones doing it. I think Scott Brown got elected in large part because the dems have been screwing the whole process and people don’t like that. Play hard but play by the rules or get out.

And this really is a law enforcement issue. Obama and his people have been committing crimes to cover for him on this. See http://butterdezillion.wordpress.com/2010/01/11/red-flags-in-hawaii-2/

For a while the American people may be cynical, but eventually when they realize that their kids’ futures are toast all the mama and papa bears will give up their cynicism and come out with claws swinging.

I think Obama is midjudging the American people. Either that, or the American spirit is already dead.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yeah! Why would he do this now?

Also, a few days ago there was the Democratic Party memo encouraging Dems candidates to pin down their Republican opponents on their stand on Obama’s eligibility.

There was a recent Mother Jones article.

Today, Obama himself brings the subject up.
