Perhaps Obama can show compassion and pardon LtC. Lakin after conviction and sentencing, but there is no way that the President of the United States should personally intervene in the Court Martial of a field officer for refusing to report to his commanding officer and refusing to get on planes and fly to Charlotte, North Carolina and Ft. Campbell, Kentucky.
The Military Judge already ruled that no discovery, evidence or testimony regarding Barack Obama will be introduced in the Court Martial.
This proceeding is about missing movement and failure to report, period.

Thank you for stating the true facts, as confirmed by several former military men I have asked about this.

There are ways to protest political issues, but LtC. Lakin picked the wrong one.

As an officer he is also fully aware of UCMJ and how his actions would be dealt with. This has nothing to do with Obama’s eligibility; it is a court martial for violation of military rules as you aptly stated. People on FR need to educate themselves about the military before making this guy a martyr of some kind.

No, this hearing is about intimidating other Officers into cowering away from this issue. This "commander in chief" is costing us a lot of valuable leadership up and down the military ranks.

Please God help us.

In the court of public opinion, Obama has already lost this.

When even the liberal/Marxist comedians are making nasty jokes about his natural born status, we know that Obama is being flushed. Big time!

This is crap. “Failure to Repair” is the easiest damn charge in the miltary to prosecute. Hell,I could charge every NCO, every EM, and even every damn officer including myself in a year with being late.

PURE BS.
