A U.S. district court judge on Thursday dismissed a lawsuit involving Orly Taitz seeking to have President Obama removed from office because he is not a natural born citizen of the United States. In his dismissal – which is, despite the legalese, a pretty entertaining read – Judge David O. Carter writes that removal of a sitting president for any reason "is within the province of Congress, not the courts." *snip* "Respecting the constitutional role and jurisdiction of this Court is not unpatriotic," continues Carter. "Quite the contrary, this Court considers commitment to that constitutional role to be the ultimate...

WASHINGTON — “I wish that we had come back with better news from Copenhagen,” President Barack Obama said a few weeks ago after an unsuccessful trip across the ocean to try to snag the 2016 Summer Olympics for Chicago. It wasn’t the kind of happy spin that politicians typically come up with after a failure. Call it a breath of fresh air or a turnoff. Either way, the man in the Oval Office is making a habit of confessing, apologizing, revealing and regretting. Don’t mistake it: Team Obama doesn’t miss many chances to try to put its actions in a...

Barack Obama and the Flying Circus is a perfect term to describe current President of the United States and his prominent cabinet. For the past year and a half every single day was and still is about Barack Obama and his extravaganza. Days just does not go by without hearing about Obama. ...

President Barack Hussein Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize for his contributions to world peace in the two weeks between January 21, 2009, when he was inaugurated into office, and the February 1, 2009 deadline for nominations. Which is to say, nothing. Zero. Nada. Zilch. And nine months into his only term in office, he’s not accomplished a single thing more. With a nod to “Saturday Night Live”:† Has he halted North Korea’s nuclear program? Uh, no.† Has he gotten Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions? Nope.† Has he stopped the genocide in Darfur? Uh-uh.† Has he achieved peace...

Judith Miller, an adjunct fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a FOX News contributor, was given a tour of Gitmo a couple of weeks ago, and reports that ... the detainees get a level of medical care that few Americans can afford - even if they were covered by “Cadillac” health insurance plans, like members of Congress. ...Assuming the 226 detainees all see a healthcare provider the same number of times a year [each makes] 34 visits [to the medical center] per year – without any co-pays or other out-of-pocket fees. And with a 1:2 ratio of healthcare providers to...

In response to Rep. Joe Wilson’s (R-SC) question about whether illegal aliens will be eligible for taxpayer-subsidized health insurance coverage under Dem healthcare “reform” proposals, liberals have answered, “Why shouldn’t they be?” [NOTE: It is a copyright violation to copy and paste this entire post.

The House of Representatives voted along party lines 240 to 179 to issue a symbolic (this is to say, toothless) resolution stating that the august body “disapproves” of Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) interrupting President Barack Hussein Obama’s speech by shouting “You lie!” during the joint session of Congress held on Sept. 9, 2009 ... House guidelines on the rules of debate say it is impermissible to refer to the president as a liar. ... Wilson called the president out for a particular lie about a particular aspect of his health “reform” proposal, and did not suggest that every word out...

Examining President Barack Hussein Obama’s ubiquity – even when your favorite TV show has not been pre-empted yet again by one of his prime time speeches or press conferences, you can still watch his Public Service Announcement (video link) about national service that gets heavy rotation, even on FOX – an unabashedly worshipful article by Jennifer Senior in New York magazine noted: “Since occupying the White House, Barack Obama has hosted fifteen town-hall meetings; appeared in more than 800 images on the White House Flickr photo-stream; and held four prime-time press conferences, the same number held by George W. Bush...

Obama and ACORN: Barack Obama has publicly denied ever working for ACORN in his career as a “community organizer.” In 1992 Obama got one of his first “community organizing” jobs with an outfit called “Project Vote” as its state organizer for Illinois: “Sneed hears a massive voter registration drive on the South and West sides is being conducted by Gary Gardner, president of Soft Sheen products, Joe Gardner, former strategist for Mayor Harold Washington, and Barack Obama, a state director of Project Vote, a national voter registration group.” – Chicago Sun Times, August 2, 1992 So what was “Project Vote”...

Skipping over all the flowery bits at the beginning and end of President Barack Hussein Obama’s 48-minute long address to a joint session of Congress on healthcare, what's left is:* Disingenuousness (“We spend one-and-a-half times more per person on health care than any other country, but we aren't any healthier for it” and “The reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally”); * Obfuscation “The public insurance option would have to be self-sufficient and rely on the premiums it collects,” “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits” and “The plan...

I do not purport to take a stance on the Obama birth certificate controversy, save to say that his refusal to release the full document is suspicious. I do take issue with falsehoods being put up in Obama's defense though. One of those falsehoods is currently being used to "debunk" the rumor that Obama was born in Mombassa, Kenya instead of Hawaii. The false claim is that Mombassa was part of Zanzibar in 1961 when Obama was born, and it is being repeated without scrutiny by the slothful mainstream media. As with so many things about Obama, this claim is...

Is torture un-American? Boston Globe columnist Derrick Jackson lays it on the line: “The more Dick Cheney defends torture, the more we Americans must end our tortured ambivalence. Either we are above using the same interrogation practices that police states use, or we are are not” [sic]. ... Americans have made their feelings on the issue quite clear, but Jackson just can’t handle the truth. He insists that “as Cheney continues to defend the dark side - even without conclusive proof that waterboarding coughed up critical intelligence - he is daring Americans to come out of the shadows to demand...

Though Illinoisans displayed a measure of pride when Barack Obama was elected to the presidency almost a year ago, rising unemployment and his push for a controversial health-care reform package have left fewer than six in 10 voters in his home state approving of the job he has done in the White House, a new Tribune/WGN poll found. The survey of 700 registered voters in Illinois showed 59 percent approved of the job the Democratic president has done in his nearly eight months in the Oval Office, while one-third disapproved of Obama's performance. Eight percent had no opinion in the...

A public that wants to know everything about Barack Obama can thank Lisa Jack for a glimpse of what the future president was like when he was just another college freshman...with a partly unbuttoned Oxford shirt, a big Panama hat and puffs of cigarette smoke as his props of choice for projecting that coveted aura of post-adolescent confidence and cool... The callow kid kicking back on a couch in a living room near L.A.'s Occidental College, where he and Jack were students, may not have been the image the Obama campaign wanted to project. "I'm sure Hillary would have paid...

Back in January, Hendrik Hertzberg, a senior editor at The New Yorker, confidently opined, “Obama’s transition has unspooled in much the same way his campaign did: smoothly, calmly, and on time.” Mind you, this was almost two weeks after the Richardson debacle. Exactly a month after Hertzberg’s assessment, the New York Times observed: “President Obama blasted through all sorts of speed records pushing a $787 billion economic plan through Congress, arguing it was too urgent to wait. But even after signing it into law Tuesday, he faces another problem: virtually no one is in place at his cabinet departments to...

On the fifth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks on the U.S. The Stiletto wondered why President George W. Bush was expanding a program that brought young Saudi men to study in our universities – quintupling the number to 15,000: "The Stiletto doubts that exposing young Saudis to American education and culture will make them more sympathetic to us – it may well have the opposite effect, and reinforce the fundamentalist Muslim view of America as a decadent and immoral society." Well, guess what Khalid Shaikh Mohammed told CIA interrogators about the effect that an American college education...

Americans who remember the 1973 and 1979 oil crises – being allowed to buy gas on alternate days, depending upon whether their license plate ended with an odd or even number, and waiting an hour or more in a line that stretched several blocks until getting to the pump – understand healthcare rationing all too well. They also know that conservation and increased fuel efficiency did little to mitigate gas shortages in 2004 and 2008 – caused in part by government meddling in the free market - nor to slow down the rate of growth in the price of domestic...

On a Facebook post, former Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) puts the lie to The New York Times’ assertion that “the rumor that government-sponsored ‘death panels’ to decide which patients were worthy of living seemed to arise from nowhere." Had Times reporters Jim Rutenberg and Jackie Calmes read her commentary – which was posted the day before their article was published, they would have known that the death panels are real, and where to read up on the details. Palin makes a solid case that healthcare “reform,” as originally envisioned by Democrats, would lead to rationed care and put a price...

A new CNN poll shows that more Americans consider the first six months of President Barack Obama’s administration worse than the same time period of his predecessor, former President George Bush. When asked whether they thought the first six months of Obama’s tenure in office has been a success or a failure, 37 percent responding to the poll released Friday said they believe it was a failure. After Bush’s first six months in office, a similar CNN poll from August of 2001 showed only 32 percent considered it to be a failure. Those who said the first half year of...

(Aug. 6) -- With buzz about the Obama Joker poster still in the air, another reworking of the president's image is causing a stir. The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws has produced a psychedelic, '60s-style poster featuring a photo of college freshman "Barry" Obama smoking. Above his super-bad Panama hat is the slogan: Yes We Cannabis. Artist Sonia Sanchez created the poster for NORML's annual conference using a picture taken at Occidental College in 1980 by the future president's classmate Lisa Jack. In the original photo, Obama is holding a real cigarette to his lips. Sanchez tweaked...

As Dems fan out across the land to try to explain healthcare “reform” and why the legislation must be written and passed at breakneck speed, they are being met by skeptics and dyspeptics ...

Clearly, the White House hoped Obama’s beery bonhomie would induce all of us to put on beer goggles and continue to view him as post-racial. For Crowley and Gates, however, it was an invitation they could not refuse. While Obama and Biden – in shirt sleeves, dressed down to come off as a regular guys – offered their guests a beer, they apparently did not invite the two men to take off the jackets and loosen ties they wore out of deference to the office of the presidency. Just another phony photo op.

Responding to a call from a homeowner, Boonton, NJ, police were forced to arrest a Marmotan-American male ... The Marmota was combative from the moment the officers arrived on the scene ... According to the police report, the Marmota was exhibiting loud and tumultuous behavior, directed at a police officer, and accused the officers of profiling, demanded their names and badge numbers and insulted the mother of one of the officers. It was then that police maced the Marmota and took him into custody. Authorities later euthanized the Marmota, and shipped the carcass to the Department of Health and Senior...

(July 25) -- A farm compound where the Clintons once dined will serve as the Obamas' summer vacation home in Martha's Vineyard late next month, according to a local newspaper. The Vineyard Gazette reported Friday that the first family has leased the Blue Heron Farm, a 28.5-acre spread worth $20 million that offers a pool, golf tee and basketball court, along with a Victorian farm house. A reconstructed Pennsylvania barn and a Vermont shed there date to the 1800s.

At the root of Gates’ encounter with Crowley is not racism, but elitism. Just as elites look down on former AK Gov. Sarah Palin, both Gates and Obama reflexively saw Crowley as “a dumb cop.” ... Gates obviously feels superior to Crowley and his workaday ilk and didn’t have the manners or brains to squelch his hubris, even in a situation that could have potentially gotten him killed.

President Barack Hussein Obama addressed an audience of 2,500 people at Cairo University for 55 minutes, fulfilling a campaign promise to deliver a major address from a Muslim country.Obama’s speech was translated into 13 languages and disseminated by E-mail and Web video worldwide, in “an effort to turn technology, which has been a powerful recruiting tool for radical Islamic terrorists, to a tool of outreach and influence for the U.S.,” notes The Washington Times.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney swung quietly through New York City Tuesday night to watch his daughter, Elizabeth, a former State Department official, argue the conservative side in a debate over American policy toward Iran, and to express his own skepticism of President Obama's promised negotiations. "We fail to recognize the fact that we're alone out there in terms of trying to achieve the objective of forcing the Iranians to give up their nuclear weapons," Cheney said at a dinner following the Intelligence Squared debate, in which Elizabeth Cheney and former Coalition Provisional Authority spokesman Dan Senor debated former diplomat...

I kid the president that my dog's smarter than Bo, his dog....

WASHINGTON (AP) — Someone really is reading those comments left on Barack Obama's Web sites: the president himself. The White House on Monday changed the name of a major office to reflect how much the administration is using the Internet to sell its agenda and communicate directly with voters. For a candidate who harnessed the Internet to win the presidency, the move — announced on the White House Web site, naturally — underscores Obama's understanding of new media's power. "This office will seek to engage as many Americans as possible in the difficult work of changing this country, through meetings...

The president's critics ought to lighten up. We should give him credit for not knowing any better. (He was "finished" and "polished" at Harvard, after all.) Barack Obama is an accident of history, a street hustler from the South Side of Chicago with the gift of gab who landed on the world stage like a whale beached at the whim of a storm, the wrong man at the right time...The masses...eagerly stepped forward to take the pledge of the cult. This wouldn't be one of Dr. Freud's difficult cases. He was born to a mother obsessed with the pursuit of...

AmericanPowerBlog has an article entitled "Barack Obama's European Apology Tour" that does a fine job of cataloging the sheer number of times Barry Hussein sought to point out what a horrible country we've been. I have my own offering focusing on the irony of Obama going to France of all possible places to apologize for American arrogance. At the same event in which Obama took it upon himself to announce to the famously humble French how profoundly sorry he was for America's past arrogance, Barack Obama also shared his vision for "a world without nuclear weapons." This would possibly be...

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama increased pressure on North Korea to halt moves toward a weekend test of a long-range ballistic missile, warning Pyongyang on Friday that a launch would be "provocative" and wouldn't go unpunished. U.S. defense officials said, however, there were no signs North Korea was curtailing its test and was instead making final preparations for the rocket shot, which could come as early as Saturday -- despite intensified diplomacy and increasingly strong objections from Mr. Obama and the U.S.'s Asian allies. Speaking at a joint news conference with French President Nicolas Sarkozy ahead of a North Atlantic...

Relatively few recognize that Obama's politics is the product of years of reflection and, as such, possesses a self-consciousness that invests it with a rigor conspicuously absent from the political mental cast of most of his fellow Democrats. Analyses of Barack Obama continue to proliferate, but from what I have been able to canvass, it appears our current President remains something of a mystery to left- and right-leaning commentators alike. Each person's life is a text, I believe, a work of art, and not unlike any other specimen of art, potentially susceptible to a multiplicity of mutually distinct yet comparably...

You don't have to be an old Washington hand to spot the telltale signs of a presidency and an administration in serious trouble. There's nothing new about these clues. The inability to get their stories straight--that's a hardy perennial of high-level officials caught in the vise of political embarrassment. A president who skips town to avoid the White House press corps and speak directly to the American people--we've sure seen that before. So in a sense the AIG mess has touched off nothing more than business as usual. What goes on in Washington usually comes across as background noise to...

A few days ago I posted about the Obama administration’s plan to rob soldiers of some of their medical benefits. Today the head of the American Legion (the nation’s largest veterans organization) paid a visit to Obama to talk about the issue, and he didn’t leave happy.Normally I am a staunch advocate of limited government and privatization. But in this instance we have troops who served their country, often in awful war zones that left them scarred and maimed, and they did so with the assumption that medical care would be one of the benefits they’d receive as compensation. The...

King Obama I thought America elected a new president. But it is becoming increasing clear that in the minds of some, we have elected a king. Any criticism or disagreement with his policies are met with cries of “Off with their heads”. A professor friend of mine perceives President Obama as almost 'god like'; one who has come to save the world. His scariest comment to date is “God will deal with the Fox News channel for their treatment of Obama”. Is my friend a lone nut case or do many view Obama as divinity? For years political correctness has...

By: LarryFebruary 27, 2009Did you know that the Constitutional requirements to be a U.S. Congressman or U.S. Senator are different than the requirements to be U.S. President or Vice President?

The Constitutional requirements to become a U.S. Senator or Congressman include having been a U.S. Citizen for a certain number of years. And, in order to be President or Vice President, the Constitution requires that one be a Natural Born Citizen and a resident for a certain number of years. Now is it possible that the terms Citizen and...

Despite the troubled economy and plunging stock market, voters have put a tremendous level of trust in President Obama to dig them out of the morass. Two new polls show the public gives Obama high marks for his first month in office, putting him in the rare company of three presidents who started off well and all won second terms. Even with the deepening recession, Obama may have the time he needs to offer his solutions and wait for the economy to rebound, the polls suggest. Obama sits at 68 percent approval, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll, or...

President Obama is putting the finishing touches on an ambitious first budget that seeks to cut the federal deficit in half over the next four years, primarily by raising taxes on business and the wealthy and by slashing spending on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, administration officials said. In addition to tackling a deficit swollen by the $787 billion stimulus package and other efforts to ease the nation's economic crisis, the budget blueprint will press aggressively for progress on the domestic agenda Obama outlined during the presidential campaign. This would include key changes to environmental policies and a major...

WASHINGTON - Barack Obama honored his hero Abraham Lincoln on the 200th anniversary of his birth Thursday, acknowledging his election as American's first African-American president was part of Lincoln's legacy. "I feel a special gratitude to this singular figure who in so many ways made my own story possible, and in so many ways made America's story possible," Obama said. The bipartisan national Lincoln bicentennial celebration was held in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol, which was turned into an Army triage hospital where Union soldiers were treated during the Civil War. Despite the intense negotiations that finally led to...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Labor unions accused Republicans of seizing on questions about unpaid taxes to stall the confirmation of Labor Secretary nominee Hilda Solis because they dislike her policies. The nation's largest labor federation, the AFL-CIO, along with other unions, women's and Hispanic groups, began calling and writing lawmakers Friday, urging them to confirm the California congresswoman. "Enough is enough," AFL-CIO president John Sweeney said, warning GOP senators "to stop obstructing and confirm Rep. Solis now." Bill Samuel, the AFL-CIO's legislative director, said the worsening economic climate demands a strong labor secretary. "We've had terrible employment numbers released today and...

President Obama is heading to Virginia Thursday night for a retreat with House Democrats, as Senate leaders on Capitol Hill continue to wrestle with the president's contentious economic stimulus package. But whether they'll be any closer to an agreement on the more than $900 billion bill by the time he gets back is anyone's guess. A couple of senior Democratic aides told FOX News late Thursday final passage of the current bill is very likely Friday despite the efforts of a group of 18 senators who have been negotiating a compromise package to get more senators on board. The group...
