Obama's secrets will come out in this Election
The Washington Times ^ | May 20, 2012 | Roger Kimball

Posted on 05/21/2012 4:36:22 AM PDT by no dems

The legacy of the 2008 campaign was the code of omerta enforced by the the legacy media about anything having to do with Obama’s past. Where was he born? Don’t care. What were his college years like? Can’t you move on to something important, like the time Mitt Romney ragged some hippie in high school? Why did Obama say that former Weatherman Bill Ayers was “just a guy in the neighborhood” when he was plainly an important political mentor, if not also the ghostwriter, for the future president?

There are a lot of questions to be asked about Barack Obama. Why are his college records sealed? Why can’t we see a certified copy of his birth certificate? Why are his medical records sealed? I’ve been told that his Social Security registration was issued by Connecticut, which would be odd, but cannot check because that too is sealed. Obama worked as a lawyer, but we don’t know who he worked for because his client list is sealed. Why is it that Michelle Obama can no longer practice as an attorney? We know the fact but not the reason.

General infatuation guaranteed that Obama got more or less a free pass from the legacy media. I suspect there will be much more curiosity as the summer progresses and we get into the campaign. He is no longer the pristine knight come to lower the oceans, fix the economy, and “fundamentally transform” the United States of America into a green paradise where everyone suckles happily at the federal mammary gland except the evil coal producers who are miserable bankrupts. No, I suspect that even The Washington Post, even The New York Times, will have to take a peek or two under the covers of the tale of this international man of mystery.

I’m taking the next day off from work because I’m getting drunk either way: drunk in celebration or drunk in despair.

America will not relect this brainwashed, socialist dupe.

I disagree. We're talking about an American electorate that as a whole is a fairly dim bulb. Voters in general don't view Obama with open eyes as conservatives do. They view him as stymied by political enemies who have caused him to fall short of his own lofty expectations.

It also doesn't help that the GOP voters weren't daring enough to nominate a bold, conservative candidate to go forward.

Put those two together and 0bama will win handily on election day. Yes, it sucks, but he has too many built-in advantages for Romney to overcome.

Am going to start using Obama-born-in-HI to refer to the won. Used often enough if will become as laughable as Kerry-served-in-Vietnam....Then the truth of his service came out.
Wonder what BIG will release this week!

IS HE LYING NOW OR THEN?

I am changing my tagline to: “Re-electing Obama is like the Titanic backing up to hit the iceburg again”

Is BIG the acronym for Barack Ignorant Gay?

I never use the hijacked nice word "Gay," I use "h0m0" or some other colorful ones. Yes, guilty, I'm a racist for saying "colorful!"

I swear, I’m gonna “Arab Street” my celebration. I’m gonna ululate as loud as I can. I even have a bunch of dog-training poppers that I’m gonna use for what’s called ‘celebratory fire’ ala the Arab Street. Hell, I might even make a trip to Alabama and spend about $500 bucks for some fireworks! Then I’m gonna get drunk.

Not a bad idea. I think I'll buy some extra fireworks this summer and put some aside for the night of November 6. I also plan to put the U.S. flag back up in front of my house that I took down in October 2008 (when I realized McCain was going to lose). Actually, I might wait on the flag until noontime on January 20, 2013 - just so my Obama supporting neighbors get the message loud and clear.

Get over it, folks. He got away with it. .....and nobody, absolutely nobody, is both willing and able to do anything about it.

NOT SO! The AZ Sec. of State is NOT putting his name on the ballot in AZ if Hawaii does not present a valid Birth Certificate.

The ‘Legacy Media’ and the Obama/Marxist Axis are one and the same. The Democrat party is merely the political arm of that Axis.

Both papers appear to have decided that they are dying, and that it's more profitable to become shills for the far left than to attempt to investigate or to present news honestly.

How can they 'investigate' ? These papers get all their tips from dems - plus they've cut staff to the bone.

Top editors see themselves as members of the 'liberal elite class' and as such they've sacrificed their newspapers to keep people like themselves in power. Working journalists were thrown under the bus to keep that focus on power for liberal elites. These lowlife top editors would destroy an industry - destroy their newspapers to keep their big fat liberal elite egos massaged.

Yeah! Got Jesus for sure. Just not sure which timetable for him yanking us out of here is correct. I expect to see more “Tribulation” than we’ve been told we’d see.

The secrets can come out ‘til the cows come home, but Americans couldn’t care less.

Sadly, your comment has the ring of truth. I had a family member tell me over the weekend that it "shouldn't matter" whether Obama was born in Kenya or not. When I pointed out that being born in a foreign country made that person constitutionally ineligible to be president, she put her hand on her hip and said "So?". She truly did not seem to have an issue with this!

What I'm trying to say here is that there are many citizens of our country who are incredibly ignorant about the founding of our nation because it's just not taught in schools anymore. To them, the Constitution of the United States means nothing and they couldn't tell you the first thing about it.

Corsi was on Alex Jones last night and said “this coming week, there are going to some shocking revelations”, on WND, and Sheriff Joe has stuff that Obama won’t be able to survive.

Will the republican nominee address these questions? At some point the media is going to ask him/her what his/her opinion is.

BATHHOUSE!! LOL!!!

A largely ignorant self-serving and arrogant majority will vote for Obama regardless
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Not so, my friend. Only 46% of the American Electorate fit the bill you describe; NOT the majority. But, I know people who voted for Obama in ‘08 and now cannot stand him and can’t wait to redeem themsleves on Nov. 6. Be encouraged.

Sometimes I think O’Reilly is secretly pulling for Obama. He was totally enamored with Obama for letting him interview him in ‘08. He acted like a teen girl at a Justin Bieber concert.
