Obama Trial on 26 January 2010

This is an update to the post that was published on 06 September 2009, entitled Sept 8, Obama Eligibility Hearing.

Shocker! Judge orders trial on eligibility issue

A California judge today tentatively scheduled a trial for Jan. 26, 2010, for a case that challenges Barack Obama’s eligibility to be president based on questions over his qualifications under the requirements of the U.S. Constitution.

If the case actually goes to arguments before U.S. District Judge David Carter, it will be the first time the merits of the dispute have been argued in open court, according to one of the attorneys working on the issue.

In a highly anticipated hearing today before Carter, several motions were heard, including a resolution to long-standing questions about whether attorney Orly Taitz properly served notice on the defendants, which she had.

In a second ruling, Carter ordered that attorney Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation can be added to the case to represent plaintiffs Wiley Drake and Markham Robinson, who had been removed by an earlier court order. Drake, the vice presidential candidate for the American Independent Party, and Robinson, the party’s chairman, also were restored to the case.

But the judge did not immediately rule on Taitz’ motion to be granted discovery – that is the right to see the president’s still-concealed records. Nor did Carter rule immediately on a motion to dismiss the case, submitted by the U.S. government, following discussion over Taitz’ challenge to the work of a magistrate in the case.

The judge did comment that if there are legitimate constitutional questions regarding Obama’s eligibility, they need to be addressed and resolved.

Carter ordered a hearing Oct. 5 on the motion to dismiss and ordered arguments submitted on the issue of discovery.

If the case survives that challenge, a pretrial hearing has been scheduled for Jan. 11 and the trial for two weeks later.

The case would be the first time, according to Kreep, that the actual merits of the dispute will have been heard in open court. A multitude of such disputes have been rejected out of hand by various state and federal courts. Even the U.S. Supreme Court repeatedly has rejected urgent appeals to hear the evidence.

The suit alleges Obama is actually a citizen of Indonesia and “possibly still citizen of Kenya, usurping the position of the president of the United States of America and the commander-in-chief.”

Obama on TV too much?

I like science-fiction movies. I didn’t always, but it’s grown on me. Today, I don’t watch a lot of TV. In fact, while I have a TV, I don’t watch TV, I watch movies. But, there are plenty of TVs all over the place – work, stores, gym, etc. I can’t help but notice how much I see Obama on TV. Always getting on there and saying how he doesn’t want to increase the size of the government and then saying what the government is going to do for us. Ya know, whatever with that.

With the science fiction… a lot of the times there are screens all over the place with commercials or the head-hancho getting on there and reminding people of how happy they are and how good things are. Think, Blade Runner. Think, Aeon Flux. Think, Equilibrium. (Maybe even The Fifth Element). And I am sure more… The amount that I see Obama on TV kind of makes me wonder when he is going to get on and start telling us to be happy and to take the blue pill that arrived from the Department of…. Agriculture…. that will make us calmer during these hard times. Enter the Matrix!

Maybe it is just me, but I don’t need some President to come on TV to tell me that I am going to survive. Maybe I am biased in saying this, but I don’t remember seeing Bush on tv this much. Even during the times surrounding 9/11 I don’t remember seeing him on TV a lot. He said his piece. He said we were going to get those responsible and then he was gone to make plans to do just that. Forget that he may have been misguided… or lied… (we don’t know what he did or didn’t do/know)… the point is that he didnt feel the need to get on TV every other day and tell us how much he was going to do for us. And you know what? America seemingly recovered pretty quickly from 9/11, and without a massive government intervention.

So why is it that we need to hear from Obama every other day? I think for a couple of reasons. When he appears, he gives the impression to a lot of people that he is “one of us.” When he comes on TV, indirectly he is saying “I am here for you.” Which of course is a bunch of crap, but that is the impression that people get. Secondly, him appearig all the time gives the impression that he is working on the problem. Forget that he may say nothing or have no plan, but the act of getting on TV makes him appear like the problems are being examined and fixed. And lastly, I think that Obama knows that he is a good speaker and a lot of people drool over his oratory skills. Forget what he is actually saying, the guy is charismatic. I hate to compare, but it makes me think of Hitler when he could move crowds to cheer at the idea of erradicating a people due to their religion. I don’t think Obama’s ideas are totally accepted, but if he can keep his public support high then he can probably stay in for a second term and likewise push more of his agenda through. He does this by swooning reporters and crowds that love to hear him speak.

Anyways, just my observations. I could be totally wrong and like I said, I don’t watch TV so much so I might be just catching it at coinscidential times.

Tea Party Spin:The Story Inside The Story

Yesterday, thousands across America celebrated “tax day” by attending tea party protests. The protests were held in opposition to activities-such as the shredding of the Constitution, socialism, out of control spending, fiscal child abuse and etc-being perpetrated by Obama-Lama-Ding-Dong and friends.

I have never seen anything like these massive protests in my life. Forever the romantic, I truly believed myself to be witnessing the media event of the century. WRONG!!! The media-with the exception of Fox News which broadcasted live from various protests-appeared to have only one objective in mind: damage control. Hence they provided minimal coverage. Let’s take a look.

Reporters at the LA Times want you to think that the gatherings were nothing more than hand full of Republicans delivering the same old “they are going to raise your taxes” message.

Reporting from Washington and Santa Ana — Republicans sought to ignite a popular revolt against President Obama on Wednesday by staging “tea party” protests across the nation to demand lower taxes and less government spending — but the tactic carried risk for the party.

“Nothing is as pressing a concern as the economy,” said Republican pollster Whit Ayres, adding that even among Republicans the political salience of taxes is not what it once was.

Uh…Those thousands of angry people hanging out in front of the Alamo in San Antonio, calling for a third party were just Republican spinsters? Riiiigght.

Across the pond at BBC, it is unimaginable that Obama can be anything but “worshiped” in America and they have obviously concluded that the “half dozen or so” people who have an issue with his socialistic agenda must be nuts and sexual deviants as well.

….And in truth, this is not the kind of political movement that really worries governments (least of all recently elected and still-popular governments like Barack Obama’s).

…They seemed undeterred by the fact that the phrase “tea-bagging” (which has a sexual connotation in some circles) is a bit of a gift to their critics on the left, who are inclined to snigger at them.

Was it not the Brits’ bums that America kicked after the original tea party?

I’m sure Arianna Huffington had to take a Valium before bedtime on Wednesday. But never fear my dearies, her flying monkeys were working hard into the night.

Before a crowd that organizers claimed was 15,000 to 20,000, but these experienced ex-advance man’s eyes saw as about 3,000, a parade of right-wing personalities used tax day to decry taxation, government, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and President Barack Obama with a rally outside California’s state Capitol in Sacramento…

Barack Obama, sworn in as president of the United States on January 20th, is Public Enemy Number One of the small but virulent American Tea Party movement….

The NYT: Tea party? What tea party? Blah..Blah…Blah…Guess what? Obama is the greatest and guess what he did today??!!!

With his conservative critics staging “taxpayer tea parties” to protest his fiscal policies, President Obama marked the April 15th tax-filing deadline on Wednesday by delivering a sales pitch for what he called “the most progressive tax cut in American history…..’’

OK. I’m getting bored now. For more examples, just “Google” news listings for “tea party.” You will see pretty much more of the same. It’s quite telling and almost funny how the various news agencies seem most interested in covering up the realities of the event. Is it because the story did not involve six women wearing pink boas or is someone afraid that not all is well in Obamaland? For the Obama PR teams, the latter just won’t do.

The Double Standard Media

Only in America can we allow our mainstream media be so biased. I grieve, litterally, at their biasedness. It is no wonder that I stray so far and fervently from watching MSM anymore.

No, today is far from the watchdog and unbiased news that used to air. Back then, people tuned in to see the media uncover and unfurl any political blunder, regardless or what party that person belonged to. Today, media hosts and anchors (who are honored, followed, and idolized) area allowed to interject their own personal opinions, many times via logical fallacies and power-speaking.

Enter in the MTV Awards – the show that so many young people watch. And lets make any mistake about this, the young crowd is the new battleground for candidates and has proven extremely useful for Presidential hopeful Obama. So what happens during this show, the host, Russell Brand, interjects his very harsh and biased opinion of what it means to disagree and not vote for Obama. Below is his tirade.

BRAND: “Now, as a representative of the global community and a visitor from abroad, I don’t want to come across a little bit biased, but could I please ask of you people of America, to PLEASE ELECT BARACK OBAMA. Please! On behalf of the world. (Camera pans to singers Chris Brown and Britney Spears applauding and cheering.) Some people, I think they’re called racists, say that America is not ready for a black president. But I know America to be a forward-thinking country, right. Because, otherwise, you know, would you have let that retarded cowboy fellow be president for eight years?

We were very impressed. It was nice of you to let him have a go. Because in England, George Bush wouldn’t be trusted with a pair of scissors.

I am obliged by broadcasting law to show some balance in this situation, which means, uh, the Republicans might be alright. Sarah Palin. She’s a VILF! A vice president I’d like to…fumble, fondle, I dunno. I do feel a little bit sorry for her daughter, getting pregnant, poor kid. Is it a boy? Is it a girl? It’s a P.R. stunt. Come on. Be honest.

And I feel most sorry for that poor teenaged father. Boy. One minute, he’s just a teenaged lad in Alaska having joyful, unprotected sex. And the next minute: Get to the Republican convention. I think that is the best safe sex message of all time. Use a condom or become Republican! …That boy will spend the rest of his life masturbating while wearing a condom…

…New music, new president, and brand new America. And you people deserve it after eight years of Bush. I promise you, you deserve it… (emphasis mine)

This is dispicable in my opinion. It is OK to have your opinion.  But really, I could care less what you care about you stupid Brit – you can’t even vote here so buzz off. Now, this is wrong and disgusting because this is what he really said.

“Vote for Obama. Obama is a black man, and if you can’t vote for a black man, you are a racist. After all, half of you voted for a monkey, so you are just as retarded as him. Oh, and don’t mind that all of your senators voted for war, and many of them, including Obama voted to continue to fund the war they hated so much.

But Palin, well, she is just hot. She should remain that way, just some woman that has babies. There is no place for a woman in these politics. Oh and by the way, her baby isn’t real, Palin just made up a human to gain sympathy.”

I know I over exaggerated on my “reading between the lines” up there, but damn… Bullshit. I guarantee that if any right leaning station said that, they would be vilified for talking about his skin color and they would have ended their career. Look, many people don’t like Obama, not because they don’t like his skin color, but because they disagree with his policies. Let’s put it this way, if my own brother or father was running on the same political platform as Obama, I wouldn’t vote for him AND I would campaign against him. Me not liking Obama has absolutely nothing to do with his skin color and I am sure that many other people not voting for Obama are in the same boat. But forget that, we are just racist. Bullshit. And what is up with all this Palin talk and how she should just “stay home” and take care of her kids bullshit? The feminist movement strives to make is so that women do not have to choose between children and a career. So Palin comes along and says that she can raise kids, one being born with DS, and be a Vice-President at the same time. How is that not the best thing that can ever happen to feminist movement? Sheesh…. Instead we belittle her and call her child a “PR Stunt.” Again, bullshit.

I seriously don’t know how anyone can flip on the TV and say, with honesty, that the media does not lick Obama’s hairy ass and they pounce on every chance they get to slam McCain. This is bias, folks! The figure I found a week ago (but can’t refind it) is that McCain to Obama negative stories are covered by a ratio of 200:1. Holy crap… Furthermore, you see the stations always covering all the pop stars and their endorsement for Obama. It is like an Obama-orgy out there. I can’t even honestly say that I’ve seen any celeberties interviewed to endorse McCain (and I’m sure they are out there, its just that the media is cherry-picking the Obama supporters).

Edit: I found 4 celebrities that have endorsed McCain: Heidi Montag, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and pitcher Curt Schilling. This is dwarfed by some of the heavy hitters such as Oprah Winfrey*, George Clooney, George Lucas, and the list goes on and on.

*Oprah alone probably overshadows all of McCain’s endoresements combined.

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy.
