Gen. Colin Powell Offered $15,000 To Meet With Obama Eligibility Experts

Dear Gen. Powell:

It was reported in May of this year that you told South Carolina State University's 400 graduates that you particularly enjoyed a recent event: ". . . when President Obama took out his birth certificate and blew away Donald Trump and all the birthers!"

In light of such a proclamation, and your controversial endorsement in 2008 of then-Senator Obama, the Birther Summit issues the following challenge to you:

We would like to sit down with you and present evidence proving that what Barack Obama used to “blow away Donald Trump and all the birthers” was not actually a valid birth certificate, but a forgery. We would also like to present evidence to you of other dubious information Obama has used to misrepresent himself and his eligibility to hold the office of president, including his use of a Social Security number that appears to have never been assigned to him, and a forged Selective Service registration form.

General Powell, because we value your past and present service to our country, and because we still believe that duty, honor, and country still matter, we affirm that you should be well compensated for your time, and are prepared to offer to you, or to Wings of Hope (or any other charity you may specify), a check in the amount of $15,000.

You see, Gen. Powell, we are not so easily blown away, and we hope that you will consider your place in history, and for what you will be remembered. Will you be likened to Gen. George Washington, or to Gen. Benedict Arnold? Will you be regarded for your honesty and integrity, or will it be for so fearing the facts that you would not even accept $15,000 for three hours of your time to be presented with them?

For $15K, will Powell do a colon scan.

Why bother? Colin Powell has always been as far left as Eric Holder or anybody else in Obama’s administration. He just happened to rise to prominence during the Reagan/Bush years and felt it was more beneficial for his career to claim to be a Republican. He showed his true colors in 2008 when he came out on the eve of the election and endorsed Obama over McCain. So essentially you had a former military man who chose the far left, anti-military Obama, over the slightly left of center War Hero McCain. That tells you that either Powell has always been a far leftist or he's such an amoral opportunist, that he thought his “conversion” on the eve of Obama’s election would guarantee him a place in the administration. If so, this has been a fatal strategic error on his part, because the democrats won't touch him with a ten foot pole after he served under GWB and helped start the Iraqi War and now the Republicans won't give him the time of day because he endorsed Obama over McCain. Powell is now, “the man without a party” (which is why he spends his days giving speeches for cash).

My guess judging by the video posted below the press release General Powell will tell them to get a brain scan.

Circular reasoning...because Powell has earned a lot of money from his government pension and benefits and by speaking for money, and I’m sure invested it well, $15,000 is nothing.

I know the invite said it could be given to a charity of Powell’s choice, but the whole thing sounds so petty when someone has Powell’s means...

[Jim Noble]

Better make it $150K.

Powell gets $15K to take a dump at the Harvard Club or at any big corporation’s HQ.

[Mr. K]

i’ll kick in another grand

[Tom1776]

LMAO No doubt! Here's the link to the video. It says it all! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC7qGMsuWh4

And so Powell sees the evidence. Does anyone think he hasn't seen at least some of it already? Or for that matter, does anyone think that nearly all of the folks in Congress haven't seen at least some of it too? Powell would just say that experts he talked to said all of the anomalies could easily be explained. Period. End of story. Or he could just say nothing at all. "Yeah. I saw it. I wasn't impressed at all."

In 2008, Colin Powell, when offered the choice of supporting a Republican colleague with decades of service to the nation. His colleague was a former POW who served the nation in war and like Powell, was a relatively liberal and media-popular politician. Powell chose to support an inexperienced hard-left politician of the opposing party. Powell supported him because that politician had a black father.
If you were a soldier serving in Powell’s command, would you have confidence in Powell if he might change his support to the enemy’s side because the enemy was partially black?
I believe Powell’s choice defines Powell’s character.

That remark of Powell’s should go right alongside Obama’s saying he was amused by the issue - while a decorated military surgeon sat in jail and lost his entire life savings because he cared about the Constitution. The fact that a supposed CINC would be “amused” by sending a man of honor to jail for simply wanting to keep his oath should have made anybody of honor sick to their stomach.

Those who laugh and mock those who actually care about the oath they have taken and the rule of law stink to high heaven - and at this point that includes pretty much everybody in the establishment.

The fact that Obama finally responded with a very bad forgery doesn’t amuse anybody who cares about the rule of law or the Constitution.

Powell and the other establishment folks who are “amused” rank right up there with the people who were spitting on the only innocent Man the world has ever had the honor of hosting, as He died for the sins of the people who spit on innocence and honor. In both contexts, the jeering at honor says it all.

My guess judging by the video posted below the press release General Powell will tell them to get a brain scan.
Lots of brain scans are needed around America.
If people had made enough noise about the eligibility issue we wouldn't be in the situation we're in right now.
But, alas, naysayers, pundits and plebiscites, one and all, just kept hollering "Sit down and shut up, we'll get him on his policies."
So how is that tactic working? Looks like an "Epic Fail" to me!

So yeah, there are plenty of folks who need their brains scanned.

Do you feel like you need a brain scan too, newbie Tom? Or are you happy with the situation as your reply indicates?

[philman_36]

A newbie with nothing but eligibility threads and replies.
Time will tell.

[Venturer]

Colon Powell was always a token and will always be a token.

He was George Bush’s messenger boy to Norman Schwartzkoff during Desert Storm.

He was partially to blame for the reason we did not get Hussein the first time.

[philman_36]

I saw your thread from the other day "Looking for info on proof of eligibility legislation" and I was puzzled.
A "newbie" gets on FR and immediately posts a vanity feigning ignorance and asks for something that a simple search would provide. proof of eligibility legislation

So pardon my skepticism as to your intent, enjoy your stay and know that I'm really looking forward to your replies.

[Kleon]

Well this is sad. I take it not many people are paying the $39 to register for the Birther Summit.

A friendly tip for Dean Haskins: if you want conservatives to sign up for your shindig in DC, don't invite a 9/11 Truther as one of your featured speakers. Also, say that you'll be serving punch and pie. People love punch and pie.

[Tom1776]

Yes and so?

Is it not an important issue? Or is article II optional? I signed up here mainly to find the latest news on constitutional eligibility legislation. I asked and only one person replied. I did find a lot of great eligibility news and sites in the ‘naturalborncitizen’ area but nothing regarding legislation, that I could see.

Is there a rule that I must comment on other news threads, and not just one topic?

[Tom1776]

“Do you feel like you need a brain scan too, newbie Tom? Or are you happy with the situation as your reply indicates?”

No. My brain is just fine, thanks.

No. I believe you misinterpreted my comment. I’m absolutely disgusted that no person with any authority will take action in regards to Obama’s ineligibility. I honestly believe it is the greatest scandal in American history.
