Ex-Dem guv: Suppose Obama 'not born in U.S.'
WND ^ | May 30, 2012 | Staff

Posted on 05/30/2012 10:17:14 AM PDT by Smokeyblue

Democrat personality David Paterson, former governor of New York and now a talk-radio host on WOR in New York City, has suggested Barack Obama could be ineligible for the Oval Office and “got away” with it.

And Paterson linked Obama’s actions to treason.

On his show yesterday, he was asserting, along with NBC Chief White House Correspondent Chuck Todd, that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney should have distanced himself more from developer Donald Trump and his doubts about Obama’s eligibility.

“Even if he wasn’t born in the United States at this point,” Paterson said. “It’s kind of like he got away with it.”

Before the comments, Paterson and Todd had agreed that Romney was doing his campaign no benefit by not distancing himself from Trump, who just this week blasted CNN for not reporting on the issue more accurately.

The billionaire businessman told lead political anchor Wolf Blitzer the network would improve its dismal viewer ratings if it would only report the issue of Obama’s eligibility to be president “accurately.”

“Obama does not like the issue of where he was born,” he told Blitzer in the interview. “There’s something that bothers Obama very much. I will tell you: It’s not an issue that he likes talking about, so what he does is use reverse psychology on people like you. … He does not like that issue because it’s hitting very close to home. You know it, and he knows it – but you don’t report it accurately.”

“Even if he wasn’t born in the United States at this point,” Paterson said. “It’s kind of like he got away with it.”

Given that Obama's first term is nearly over, yes, I'd have to agree that Paterson's statement is somewhat accurate.

No, he hasn’t “gotten away with it.” If he truly was not born in this country he needs to be ceremoniously thrown in jail and all his signed legislation nullified.

I believe you mean unceremoniously.

Ceremoniously would mean to do it for show. We want the poser locked up for real

Legislation signed by the One will stand as his signature is not necessary; if he does not sign, the legislation becomes law any way.

Actually, IMHO, the legislation signed by the Obama would not stand, because the US Constitution says that every bill must be presented to the president before it can ever become law. If Obama is ineligible for the presidency, then he was never legally president, so if Congress presented legislation to Obama, it would not satisfy the US Constitution's requirement in Article I Sec. 7 that all legislation be presented to the president before it becomes law. Thus any unsigned legislation that would be sent to Obama would not automatically become law without his Obama's signature, because the legislation was never presented to the president as required by the US Constitution.

Unsigned/unvetoed legislation only becomes law without the president's signature, if ten days (excluding Sundays) elapse after it was presented to the president. If Obama is ineligible for the presidency, unsigned legislation would not automatically become law, because it was never presented to the president as required by the Constitution.

US Constitution Article I. Sec.7

shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States;...If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.

What I hear starting is the trope that Romney isn’t distancing himself from Trump’s birthed claims. Romney is most definitely distancing himself and the MSM wants the sheeple to believe otherwise.

Did they ask Obama to distance himself from James Hoffa when he threated violence against the Tea Party?

Did they ask Obama to distance himself from Al Sharpton who lied about thousands of things?

No, so this should be ignored.

"America needs to find out fast because if all these allegations are true, never in modern times have political operatives crossed a line this big."

What? where were you when Clintoon was in office. They had to come up with a special term for things that were happening in Arkansas- Arkancide.

A guy who knows Clinton dies by suicide with two bullet holes in the back of his head? Arkancide.

Clintoon and Janet Reno torch a bunch of children, and the only cops that were killed happen to be both former Clinton bodyguards (and both die from 'friendly fire')

Two boys stumble on a Clinton drug smuggling operation at Mena Airport and then the 'fall asleep' on top of railroad tracks... (not a comfortable place to sleep)

Ron Bron threatens to spill his guts if he gets arrested? His plane goes down in a freak 'accident'. He is later said to have had a bullet hole in the back of his head. A nurse who was on-board too, said Brown was alive, dies from a cut in her femoral artery on the airlift to the hospital- when she originally walked away from the accident almost injury free.

There are many more

The democraps are filled with murderers and thieves

Where every he was born Obama was likely never eligible because his alleged father was not a US citizen. This however would have taken a court challenge before he was on any ballot and the issue was not pressed at the time by weak kneed RINOs.

However, if he was born in Kenya and illegally usurped the presidency he should be tried for treason along with everyone else in the Democratic party who certified his eligibility. This would precipitate the biggest constitutional crisis since the Civil War. Sadly I don't think the truth will be known until Obama is long gone from the political scene or when he is deposed from his Marxist dictatorship should we be dumb enough to re-elect him.

I mean no disrespect, and believe me I’m no spelling nazi, but this statement really cracked me up:

“Is there a statue of limitation on Treason?”

I can only imagine such a statue. Someone should erect one.

PS, Thanks for all you do.

Is that like saying he got away with murder, so lets just move on?

This is treason my friend against millions of people! I do not think anyone should just say, hey lets stop talking about it, he got away with it. Let’s move along!

You have a point. I had not considered the “present to the President” part. If he is not eligible to hold the office, then he is not President and the legislation was not presented. Even a bigger problem. Small wonder that every Marxist and RINO want to stay away from the NBC question.

Ah, but if he "got away with it", then he IS President.

I did not know that. It got a lot of press coverage didn’t it? He must not have made much fanfare of the release.
