During the Clinton Administration, the Clintons' engaged in so many shenanigans and underhanded deals, it was hard to keep track of them all. It was Dick Morris, the little genius behind the Clinton's rise to power, who came up with the plan. I got to hand it to Dick Morris, it worked, and the Clintons survived, and therefore Hillary's career would survive. Morris' strategy simple, let Bill get taken to task for Lewinsky, and thereby distract the investigators from the real Clinton crimes. AND the Republicans jumped on that opportunity like a rat on a Cheeto. If the Republicans had not taken the bait, and had stayed the course on other investigations, the Clintons could have been exposed, and dealt with in the courts.
They never had to answer for the missing Rose Law Firm billing records, mysteriously found two years later in Hillary's office. They never had to answer for the firings of the White House Travel Office, nor the nine hundred secret FBI files, found in the White House, of those who opposed Clinton. (Chuck Colson went to jail for ONE file) They never had to answer for Craig Livingstone, Kathleen Willey, Juanita Broderick, Whitewater, and Hillary's mysterious cattle futures trading. Bill never had to explain why he let LORAL Space give the Chinese critical upgrades to their nuclear weapons programs for campaign cash. Bill never had to explain taking money from the Riati group to put Utah's vast clean coal reserves off limits, and on and on.
In the end, by taking the bait, the Republicans blew it, and the Clintons' survived to do further damage to this country.
Rope A Dope.
I bring this up because of the Obama birth certificate issue. Those of us who oppose Hopey Change need to think and act wisely when dealing with this subject.
Considering who is in charge in the Senate and House, it wouldn't matter if Obama was born in Kenya. If Obama were to go on television tonight and admit that he was born in Kenya, it wouldn't matter. The Democrat Party would ignore and trample the Constitution, again, just like they do every day. Why would this be different?
AND, I must tell you, that it appears to me that Hopey Change WAS most likely born in Hawaii. (although, nothing would shock me) So then one has to wonder why Obama hides the actual birth certificate, and plays games with it's release.
Therein my friends, lies the Rope A Dope.
If we spend time going after false issues, or issues that do us no good, then Hopey Changes' real crimes against the United States may go uncovered. Exposing Obama for what he truly is, will be delayed, at an enormous cost to our country.
We must remember who made who. Do not make the mistake of thinking that Hopey Change is leading anything, he is not. Obama is the creation of the wacky religious left, and he will do exactly what he is told to do. Obama will do what he was trained to do by Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, and a pile of Marxist professors no doubt.
It is all the other records that Obama has hidden that are of interest. We may find out who paid for Obama's expensive education, when Obama says he had no money and no job.
You hear from the Hopey Changers how Obama was the President of the Harvard Law Review. Is that like being head towel boy at the bath house? So what? Study how that honor was given out,. Harvard went way out to get more minorites to be able to say they were President of the Law Review, they appoint about forty of these "Presidents".
Try finding any writings from Obama during his college days. They've all disappeared. Along with records on who paid the bills.
Here are just some of Hopey Changes' REAL missing records:
*Occidental College Records
*Columbia College Records
*Columbia Thesis paper
*Harvard College Records
*Selective Service Registration
*Illinois State Senate schedule
*Medical Records (Bush and McCain gave hundreds of pages of medical records)
*Law Practice client list
*Harvard Law Review Articles (he was the prez, shouldn't there be at least one?)
*University Of Chicago scholarly articles
*His Illinois State Senate records
*Dates of church attendance prior to "disowning" Dr. Jeremiah Wright
AND while we are at it we could ask for an accurate accounting of Obama's dealings with Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, a radical ideologue with ties to Saudi Royal Family. It was al-Mansour that worked to get Obama into Harvard.
Did he pay for it as well? The reason I can ask a question like that is because Obama has been so nebulous about it. The Obama's spoken and printed word are in conflict as to Hopey Changes college debt and payment of the alledged debt.
We conservatives have got to be careful about over pursuing the birth certificate issue. Of course, Obama may have given up his citizenship to travel to Indonesia at a time when American Citizens were not allowed to do so, but with this Congress and Media, we will never know, and therefore we are wasting time.
Let us focus on Obama's war against the United States, and his efforts to destroy the Private Sector and end Capitalism. These crimes against America are far more hideous than the 50-50 shot he was born in Kenya.
I give the Obama rope-a-dope theory less than 1% of a chance that it’s correct.
Thoughtful bump.
I don’t buy it completely, but I want to read the responses here.
I have posted before that I wanted to see Obama’s college records because that is where the real secrets are at. But I also want to see Obama’s BC released too.
Sadly, I don’t think any of documents will ever be released to the public. Not if Barry has any say in the matter.
IMHO at some point (and maybe even soon) Dems will "throw Zero under the bus". They pretty much have to do it before his illegitimacy begins to be accepted by those "precious middle ground" voters. Like the UFO crash in Roswell, once people believe it it doesn't matter if it happened or not. People are starting to ask questions and Zero ain't answering them. Everyday more folks that thought he was "Our President" are starting to believe he was born in Kenya and is illegitimate.
The most telling thing he has said the MidStream Media gave him a total pass on. I can't stand to listen to the POS but I was slow on the fast forward the other day and heard him say "those jobs aren't coming back." He eviscerated McCain for saying this. Not even a year later he is saying it himself and the MidStrem Media yawns. Crickets. If I heard it, I am sure others did. His performance is "an unmitigated disaster" as so many of us said it would be last October. As "the precious middle ground" voter starts to wake up to this fact he is done. Zero will be the left's Dick Nixon.
This entire article is Rope-a-Dope. The Clinton scandals were all addressed and either blocked, stopped or succeeded, entirely outside of Monicagate, which was itself a successful impeachment that was then blocked for dismissal by the Senate.
And while all of Obama’s other missing documents are important, surely the most damning of all, requiring no logical deduction over it’s meaning, is his birth certificate. Great effort is being made to dismiss the BC as something irrelevent or non-binding, while lawyers are throwing their bodies across Hawaii to prevent anyone access to it.
That such a brazen fraud is given any credence whatever is utterly absurd - the BC damns him, and it’s obvious to a two year old that the only reason he’d hide it is because showing it would prove he is illegitimate.
Another sign of their ineptitude was the inexplicable rise to Speaker of the invisible Mr. Hastert.
Thus, in frustration, they pounced on Lewinskygate as a consolation prize, thinking that the public would understand sex far more than those other abstruse issues (the Lowest Common Denominator principle).
In the end, the impeachment was just enough of a distraction that heir-apparent Gore barely lost the Presidency. Given the much weaker response that Gore would have had to 9/11, and his likely destruction of the economy through Cap and Tax, we should be thankful that the fall of the Republic was delayed for 8 years.
If the Right were focusing on something else—like the college records, or the Tony Rezko house deal, or the dead bodies scattered around Chicago—somebody would be saying, “Why aren’t you focusing on the birth certificate?”
This has been the warning that I’ve seen from other conservatives and detractors. And while the mocking tone they use is offputting, I do take their warnings into serious consideration just as I will with this article.
The thing is though...if for whatever reason, Obama allowed Hawaii to reveal his birth certificate and there was nothing questionable about it, I wouldn’t be one of the ones who’d be embarrassed.
We have a right to know whether or not the man chosen to be the leader of the free world is elegible for the office. As of this point, he is throwing out smokescreens and allowing both the left and right to use Alinsky style tactics to keep the issue relegated to the “fringe”...at least that’s the perception.
That kind of arrogance only throws out more red flags for me and makes me wonder what he’s hiding. If it turns out he’s not hiding anything, I would walk away happy that at least his feet was held to the fire and he was made accountable to the American people.
I’m sure we’d be ribbed endlessly by those who think we’re freaks...but then that’s happening now anyway. So what’s the difference?
It’s not like I’m devoting my life to finding this out. My time is focused on defeating the leftist agenda of this adminstration to the best of my ability. This issue actually barely registers on my radar unless and until it becomes a story like it is now.
Most in Washington and certainly the far left academics in law school know he is illigitimate. They are watching and ridiculing the focus on hidden birth records and avoiding, or misdirecting questions about Article II Section 1 qualification. McCain was the subject of extensive congressional discussion, attempted laws resulting in non-binding resolutions such as Senate Res 511, because he was not born on US soil. They gave him a pass, which is meaningless, while not noticing that Obama’s father was never a US citizen. They noticed! That may not qualify as “rope-a-dope” but it is criminal.
Bill Clinton fired Dick Morris in August 1996. The Lewinsky scandal didn't break until 1998.
Harvard Law Review is a published public magazine. Anyone can look at it for the two years BHO was on its editorial staff and read the contents.

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — How strongly does Barack Obama believe in unlimited abortions? Strongly enough that the only article he wrote for the Harvard Law Review while he was a law school student talked about how fervently believed in legalized abortion. Obama’s name wasn’t attached to any other legal scholarship during the time.
~snip
Obama’s article is on page 823 of Volume 103 of the Harvard Law Review and would likely be located in larger public libraries and databases that chronicle legal articles in scholarly publications.
“...the only article he wrote...”
That would have been Pakistan, not Indonesia.
This guy's "rope-a-dope" thesis may have some validity, but he needs to get his facts straight if he intends to pursue it. Birthers are way ahead of him on that score.
I believe the only thing he wrote for the Harvard Law Review while being the first black appointed president of said review was an unsigned editorial of a courts decision regarding fetal rights.
His summation was he agreed with the court that a fetus does not have the right to sue a mother for harm during a pregnancy or something to that affect.
Still unpublished and unsigned.
With the major piece of his legacy going down in flames, the only honorable thing for him to do would be to fall on his sword. Maybe his Marine guard could lend him one.
