I believe efforts to disqualify Mitt Romney as a presidential contender because of his Mormon faith are outrageous and unfair. Apparently, a lot of people in the liberal media agree with me. Unfortunately, they are hypocrites. The media are ignoring their own established religious test—against candidates whose evangelical or Catholic faith guides their political beliefs. Having momentarily discovered an appreciation for the Constitution, liberal journalists are reminding conservative Christians who question Romney’s faith that our founders prohibited a religious test as a qualification for elected office. “It was only a matter of time before some bigot drew a bead on...

In this era of tight airport security, the Transportation Safety Administration typically will not allow a passenger to board an airplane if the name printed on the ticket differs from the way it appears on government-issued identification. Now that the White House has released President Obama's purported long-form birth certificate, a question arises as to why the name on that document does not match the name on his State Department passport. This matched how his name was listed on the short-form Certification of Live Birth released during the 2008 presidential campaign, as first presented by DailyKos.com June 12, 2008: Below...

The author of the best-selling "Where's the Birth Certificate? The Case That Barack Obama Is Not Eligible To Be President" charged today the resignation of White House counsel Bob Bauer is the result of his participation in the release of Barack Obama's "Certificate of Live Birth," which he fears would not stand up to the scrutiny of any serious investigation by the FBI, Congress or the media. Corsi believes Bauer "felt compelled" to resign because of the growing substance to worries that the eligibility issue will blow up into a full-scale investigation. "Bauer sent Perkins and Coie attorneys to Honolulu...

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s top lawyer at the White House is resigning to return to private practice and represent Obama as his personal attorney and as general counsel to Obama’s re-election campaign. The move means that Bauer, 59, will still play a central but outside role in advising a president who is seeking re-election in a time of divided government. Bauer has been part of Obama’s circle since Obama was a freshmen senator in Washington, and now returns to the campaign counsel role he had when Obama ran in 2008. He has long been a go-to lawyer for Democrats...

A hilarious video made from Indiana's Aiming Higher PAC radio commercial airing today across the State, urging the Democrat Fleebaggers to return home. Kudos to whoever made this!!

(Robert Bauer-married to former Obama WH Communications Director Anita Dunn, who professed that Mao Tse-Tung was a personal hero--was appointed last year as White Counsel by Obama and had been the lead atty representing Obama in blocking release of any Obama documents). The following information was compiled from the official Federal Elections Commission website for disbursements from the Obama campaign to Robert Bauer's law firm of Perkins Coie, which represents Obama in various eligibility suits.

Oakland County Clerk Ruth Johnson, a candidate for Michigan Secretary of State, says she has evidence of forgery in one of the candidate statements for the "Tea Party" political party. The supposed candidate, Aaron Tyler of Springfield Township, has been in Phoenix, AZ, and told Johnson's office that he did not wish to be a candidate, did not sign his name on candidate statement paperwork, and had no idea his name was in the process of being placed on the ballot. According to the release: "Johnson said the alleged false Tyler paperwork was notarized by a Jason H.Bauer. According to...

At this point I half-hope that all these charges against her are true, just because that’d actually be less depressing than the thought of this many lying scumbags running around South Carolina smearing innocent people. The allegation made Wednesday by lobbyist Larry Marchant is the second leveled at Republican state Rep. Nikki Haley in the past two weeks. Her campaign vehemently denies both allegations. Neither claim has come with proof. Marchant says their one-night stand happened in 2008 during a trip to Utah. He was married then and still is. Funny coincidence one: The author of that AP story is...

White House lawyer Robert Bauer's statement today on the "job offer" to Rep. Joe Sestak carefully explained it was really only an unpaid advisory position that would allow Sestak to stay in his U.S. House seat representing Pennsylvania. But the words did nothing to remove critics' doubts, and one commenter on the blog of conservative columnist Michelle Malkin may have touched a nerve when he wrote, "When you are telling the truth you do not have to prepare a response. The truth does not have to be manipulated. It does not have to be reviewed by attorneys. It does not...

February 23, Gibbs:I was traveling for a couple of days, as you know. I have seen some stuff that he said, but I have not looked into this. March 11, Gibbs:I don’t have anything additional on that. May, 27, President Obama:There will be an official response shortly on the Sestak issue, which I hope will answer your questions. May 28, MEMORANDUM FROM ROBERT F. BAUER: White House staff did not discuss these options with Congressman Sestak. The White House Chief of Staff enlisted the support of former President Clinton who agreed to raise with Congressman Sestak options of service on...

| After three months of zipped lips and feigned ignorance, the Obama White House is finally taking real heat over Pennsylvania Democratic Rep. Joe Sestak's consistent claims that the administration offered him a job to drop his Senate bid. Now it's time to redirect the spotlight where it belongs: on the top counsel behind the Washington stonewall, Bob "The Silencer" Bauer. On Sunday, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs glibly asserted that "lawyers in the White House and others have looked into conversations that were had with Congressman Sestak. And nothing inappropriate happened." With whom were these conversations had? Gibbs won't...

Now that "24" has ended, feel free to offer random thoughts here.

Obama eligibility lawsuits, Update May 22, 2010, Obama attorneys, Perkins Coie You have witnessed the veiled attempts from the mainstream media to cover for Obama. You have heard the irrational responses from rabid Obama supporters, heavy kool aid drinkers. And still, with the help of law firms like Perkins Coie and taxpayer funded government attorneys, Obama continues to hide his birth certificate and college records. Perkins Coie has been busy. How much has the Obama camp spent on private and government attorneys? Who knows. Who cares. The important fact is that he is hiding something. Something big. Obama for America,...

**If you TiVo there are Spoilers** Who are you and what have you done with Jack Bauer? That’s what I wanted to scream at the pod person who starred on “24” last Monday. When the conservative creators of the show left and liberals took over, I was apprehensive. But by and large, the quality of the program kept up. I snorted, of course, when a bad character was threatened with torture by other bad guys. She was hauled into a medieval chamber filled with pincers, hot pokers and iron maidens. Then she was strapped down, a washcloth was draped over...

Gary L. Bauer, Chairman of Campaign for Working Families, one of America’s leading pro-family, pro-life, pro-free enterprise political action committees, announced Monday that CWF is targeting 22 Democrat House Districts and three Democrat Senate seats. “The American people did not get change they could believe in,” said the former presidential candidate. “They got massive tax increases, gluttonous expansion of the federal government and unprecedented takeovers of business and industry. The Democrats’ assault against the ideals of smaller government, free enterprise and traditional values must end. Campaign for Working Families is prepared to commit $2 million to restore balance and common...

The United States remains deeply concerned by the case of three American hikers, Shane Bauer, Josh Fattal, and Sarah Shourd, who have been detained in Iran without charge or access to legal representation since July 2009. While we welcome the decision by the Iranian authorities to allow Shane, Sarah and Josh to receive another Swiss consular visit at long last, we were deeply alarmed to learn from the families today of their physical and emotional state of health. We fear their well-being will suffer even more unless their case is resolved without delay. We strongly believe these urgent developments are...

The most striking aspect of the Tim Tebow Super Bowl ad controversy is that critics of CBS’s decision to run the commercial seem unable to decide exactly why they are so offended. Some are upset that the ad was sponsored by Dr. James Dobson’s Focus on the Family, scourge of cultural liberals. Others are calling it a breach of the so-called separation of politics and Super Bowl. NOW condemned the as-yet-unseen ad as “extraordinarily offensive and demeaning” and “hate masquerading as love.” The Feminist Majority Foundation launched a campaign to get the “anti-choice super bowl ad removed.” But if the...

Margaret Sanger call your office. We'd like to throw you a victory party. Sanger who was very intent on stopping minorities and the poor from breeding, seems to have many disciples. Last year we learned Supreme Court Justice Ruth Vader Ginsburg said: "Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of." Well, just this week South Carolina Republican gubernatorial candidate Andre Bauer had a similarly interesting comment. The AP reports:"My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but...

Bollywood film star Anil Kapoor has revealed that he took inspiration from leaders such as Gandhi and Barack Obama for his role in ‘24’. The ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ star, who plays a Middle Eastern leader in the new season of the show, said that he wanted to base his part on real world leaders. "I re searched all the speeches of all these great leaders -- from Mahatma Gandhi, to Mandela, Martin Luther King, Obama and [Bill] Clinton," the New York Post quoted him as saying.
