Berg — a self-avowed supporter of Hillary Clinton — alleges that Barack Obama was born in Kenya and is thus “ineligible” to run for president of the United States. It demands that Obama’s lawyers produce a copy of his original birth certificate to prove that he is a natural-born U.S. citizen. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Berg's suit and allegations have set off a wave of Internet buzz and rumors, though Obama could easily have put the matter to rest by providing the federal court with the basic documentation proving he is eligible to take the oath of a president. But Obama has apparently decided to deny the court and the public that documentation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;The Constitution provides that any U.S. citizen is eligible to become president if the person is 35 years of age or older and is a natural-born citizen; that is, born in the territorial United States. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;By failing to respond to the Request for Admissions and Request for the Production of Documents within 30 days, Obama has “admitted” that he was born in Kenya, Berg stated this week in new court filings. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Berg released a long list of “admissions” he submitted to Obama’s lawyers on Sept. 15, and asked that they produce documents relating to Obama’s place of birth and citizenship. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Instead of responding, lawyers for Obama and the DNC asked the court to dismiss the case. But Judge R. Barclay Surrick of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania has issued no ruling in the case that would have given Obama’s lawyers more time. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;“There are lots of legal ways to stonewall,” a well-placed Republican attorney told Newsmax, who was not authorized to comment officially on the case. “But failing to respond is not one of them.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;“The first thing they teach you in law school,” he added, “is don’t put a complaint like this in a drawer. That’s how a nuisance case can become a problem.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;The 30-day deadline for defendants to comply with a discovery request is set forth in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;“It all comes down to the fact that there's nothing from the other side,” Berg said after he filed a motion on Thursday for summary judgment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;“The admissions are there. By not filing the answers or objections, the defense has admitted everything. [Obama] admits he was born in Kenya. He admits he was adopted in Indonesia. He admits that the documentation posted online is a phony. And he admits that he is constitutionally ineligible to serve as president of the United States.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;In a contentious case, lawyers on both sides will haggle over the production of documents, and will frequently go beyond the deadlines, several lawyers told Newsmax. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;“The rules are more often complied with in the breech rather than the observance,” a senior trial attorney who has close ties to the Democrat Party, but is not involved in the current case, told Newsmax. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;“Lawyers frequently do not return telephone calls or meet discovery deadlines because of sheer inadvertence. Therefore, we do not consider a failure to respond as a ‘violation,’” he said. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Allegations surrounding Obama’s place of birth have been swirling for months. Earlier this year, the Obama campaign sought to put down the rumors by making available a computer-generated Certification of Live Birth, issued in 2007 by the State of Hawaii. [See the Certification of Live Birth — &lt;a href="http://fightthesmears.com/articles/5/birthcertificate" target="”_new”"&gt;Click Here.&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Respected conservative blogger Ed Morrissey called the Berg lawsuit a “conspiracy theory” that had been put to rest by the Obama campaign over the summer but ”has arisen like a zombie yet again to suck the credibility out of the conservative blogosphere.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;However, the 2007 document produced by the Obama campaign omits key information that normally appears on birth certificates in the United States, including the name of the hospital where he was born, the size and weight of the baby, and sometimes the name of the doctor who delivered him. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;In addition, the critics of the 2007 document note that Obama's father is described as “African,” a term used today. The formal language in official documents at the time — 1961 — would have identified his race as “Negro” or “Colored.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;The Web site snarkybytes.com has produced a vault copy of a Hawaii Certificate of Live Birth from 1963, issued by the Hawaii Department of Health. [See the vault copy — &lt;a href="http://snarkybytes.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/hawaii-birth-certificate-1963.jpg" target="”_new”"&gt;Click Here.&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;In addition to naming the hospital and more details about the baby, the 1963 vault copy also includes the “usual residence of the mother,” and the “usual occupation” of the father. None of this information appears on the 2007 Live Birth certificate produced by the Obama campaign. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Berg has been a perennial political candidate in Pennsylvania, having run in Democrat primaries for attorney general, lieutenant governor, governor, and other offices without success. He served as deputy attorney general of the State of Pennsylvania from 1972-1980. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;His credibility was tarnished by work he did for the far-left “9/11 for the Truth” campaign, which alleged in a federal lawsuit that the collapse of the twin towers in New York was caused by “controlled demolition” ordered by the president of the United States. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Nevertheless, in recent weeks, lawsuits have been filed in seven additional states demanding that Barack Obama produce an original vault copy of his birth certificate, to dispel the rumors that he is not a natural-born United States citizen. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;The latest suits have been filed in state and federal courts in Hawaii, Washington, California, Florida, Georgia, New York, and Connecticut to compel Obama to release his birth records. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Lawsuits in Washington and Georgia are seeking state superior courts to force the states’ secretary of state, as the chief state elections officer, to require Obama to produce original birth records from Hawaii, or else decertify him as a candidate for the presidency. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;       &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Ironically, Obama mentions his birth certificate in passing on Page 26 of his 1995 memoir, “Dreams of My Father.” “I discovered this article, folded away among my birth certificate and old vaccination forms, when I was in high school,” he wrote. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Lawyers for Obama and the DNC did not return calls for comment on the current status of the case, or explain why the Obama campaign did not simply put to rest the whole controversy by releasing the birth certificate that Obama apparently cherished as a teenager. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;In the past, questions about Sen. John McCain's legal status have arisen. McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone at a U.S. Army hospital. McCain had legal experts vet his constitutional qualifications, and he also disclosed a copy of his birth certificate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Lets see how the MSM handles this!

We would like to know the rest of the truth. He can not lie about it anymore because the paper trails are coming forward showing that Obama was a Muslim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Summarized, available evidence suggests Obama was born a Muslim to a non-practicing Muslim father and for some years had a reasonably Muslim upbringing under the auspices of his Indonesian step-father. At some point, he converted to Christianity. It appears false to state, as Obama does, "I've always been a Christian" and "I've never practiced Islam." The campaign appears to be either ignorant or fabricating when it states that "Obama never prayed in a mosque."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why does Obama keep lieing about his past. Seems this man is more of something else then what he claims to be.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7356730061915673962-484486606065451489?l=thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com/feeds/484486606065451489/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7356730061915673962&amp;postID=484486606065451489&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7356730061915673962/posts/default/484486606065451489'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7356730061915673962/posts/default/484486606065451489'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/obama-says-he-was-muslim.html' title='Obama says he was a Muslim!'/><author><name>We The People</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09874541607641106894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356730061915673962.post-5035001417091842990</id><published>2008-09-07T18:31:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2008-09-07T18:46:29.080-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Ahmadinejad Hoping for ‘Muslim’ Obama Victory!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PbHUXIosAQg/SMRXZ7_55xI/AAAAAAAAAE0/zU2XPKvUouc/s1600-h/Iran2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PbHUXIosAQg/SMRXZ7_55xI/AAAAAAAAAE0/zU2XPKvUouc/s400/Iran2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243411969280173842" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 51, 51); font-style: italic;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:180%;"  &gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/snL1vGBC2fQ&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/snL1vGBC2fQ&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Iran’s leadership has expressed “great pleasure” at the prospect of a Barack Obama victory in November, according to Menashe Amir, the Iranian-born head of Radio Israel’s Persian language service. &lt;/p&gt;                       &lt;p&gt;But Iranian President Ahmadinejad has said he doubts that the American establishment “will allow” Obama to win. &lt;/p&gt;                       &lt;p&gt;“One of the Iranian religious leaders said if Obama will enter the White House, then Islam will conquer the heart of the American nation,” Amir told Isracast.com. &lt;/p&gt;                       &lt;p&gt;The Iranian leadership likes Obama “mainly because he is a Muslim,” according to Amir. His first name, Barack, comes from “al-baraq,” which is the name of the horse that Muslims believe Muhammad rode on his way to paradise. &lt;/p&gt;                       &lt;p&gt;His middle name Hussein is also a Muslim name, and he was “born in a Muslim family,” said Amir. &lt;/p&gt;                       &lt;p&gt;In fact, Obama is a Christian. His deceased father was a Muslim, and though Obama attended a Muslim school in Indonesia, he never pursued the Muslim faith of his early childhood. While some commentators have suggested that this qualifies him as an apostate — a “crime” punishable by death according to Islamic sharia law — Menashe Amir disagreed. &lt;/p&gt;                       &lt;p&gt;“If he wins the election, Muslims will be very proud of such a conquest, such a win. He didn’t convert [to Christianity] after he was 18. It happened much, much before,” so the sharia law judgment does not apply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 51, 51); font-style: italic;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:180%;"  &gt;&lt;p style="font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;We can not let America became another countries playground for them to test there weapons.

They have chosen to lie about the Republican VP Sarah Palin and her family with lies. The US Weekly Magazine published a bunch of lies about Palin and published a Cinderella story about Obama. It should have been fair and balanced so the American people can draw there own conclusions from the stories. Now stuff like only happens in countries like IRAN, CHINA etc... to control an election by the government. But the MSM is supposed to report the news not the one sided news as MSNBC does everyday. At the end of Palins Speech last night i flipped over to MSNBC just to see what they would say. And it was clear they were in the tank for OBAMA. They started to cut Palin as soon as she was done. Chris Mathews said she belittled Obama. And that Mathews said that it was not right on the attacks on OBAMA. Then Obermen said that Palins attacks where pointed at Michele Obama. And that Palin appeared as a male side kick. Every person reporting for MSNBC last night after Palins Speech was indeed pissed off that her speach was such a hit. It was like watching a bunch of liberals looking for ways to cut her down. It was shocking to watch. You could see the anger in there faces that this women was better at making a speech then there own OBAMA. The left wing Media is trying to control this election and it’s not going to happen! The truth about Obama is going to get to the American people and the ratings for these biased media outlets are just going to keep falling of the charts. Right now MSNBC is so low in the ratings that the righting on the toilet paper has better ratings then MSNBC! They was indeed pissed off that her speech was such a hit.

I mean, it’s absolute madness.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;“I mean, the only group of people that I know who weren’t weeping for the next several weeks [after 9/11] were the people who were busy typing legislation into their computers,” Ayers continued.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;When asked about some Palestinians who had been captured on videotape dancing in the streets after the attacks, Ayers said coverage of those individuals had been “overwrought” in the U.S. media, and added: “[E]verybody in the world knows that Americans are geographically challenged and historically challenged. We don’t have a sense of who we are or where we are. So I think every American that I know was weeping over the next several weeks, and devastated and shocked. Was that an act of pure terror? It absolutely was.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;“And there are many other acts of terror carried out by our government, even recently, that, that are comparable. And there are other acts of terror that have gone on in places like Bosnia that we forgot to notice.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Explaining how he became a leader of the radical 1960s antiwar group, the Weathermen (and its subsequent fugitive incarnation, the Weather Underground), Ayers was unrepentant about the group’s planting of bombs in the Capitol, the Pentagon, and other sites. “I think I was on the side of justice and ultimately it will be seen that way,” Ayers said. “I don’t think our move was so much towards violence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;“I think that what we did was to look at this situation of 2,000 people a day being murdered [in Vietnam] and try to figure out a couple of things. One is, how can we effectively resist the war, when we thought our charge was to convince the majority of the American people to oppose it. We did. And still the war went on, and still the murder went on. So what do you do?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;“And in that moment, SDS [Students for a Democratic Society] and every other organization came unglued, and people went different ways. Some people joined the Democratic Party, tried to build a peace wing within it; some people went to factories; some people went to Europe; some people ran away to the hills of California. What we did was try to build the capacity to survive what we saw was an impending American fascism.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;“We didn’t want to &lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt;—&lt;/span&gt; we looked at the conspiracy trial [of the Chicago Seven], which we were very close to, and we didn’t want to spend two years defending ourselves. That seemed like a complete waste of energy and time. And so we said to ourselves, ‘What are we going to do?’… We saw the movement either being targeted like [Black Panther leader] Fred Hampton and shot in the head, or targeted like the Chicago Seven, dragged into federal court, where they had to spend zillions of resources and energy and people-hours defending themselves against this completely corrupt government and this completely corrupt Justice Department on this completely corrupt charge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;“So, yeah, we, we found that an appalling alternative. And so we set about building a clandestine organization. And the whole point was to survive them and then possibly to take the fight to them against the war and against, against empire, generally … I think we were moving in a direction that said demonstrations &lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt;— &lt;/span&gt;you know, we’ve tried to demonstrate. We’ve tried to petition our government. We’ve gone door to door and knocked on doors. We’ve talked to our neighbors. We’ve talked to, you know, our parents, our Republican parents. And everybody agrees with us; but we can’t stop the war. So what do we do?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Yet Ayers rejected the notion, advanced in a 2002 documentary about the Weather Underground, that he and his fugitive comrades &lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt;—&lt;/span&gt; including his wife, Bernardine Dohrn &lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt;—&lt;/span&gt; were animated solely by rage over their inability to stop the Vietnam War. “I don’t buy that even a little,” Ayers said. “I think that we were driven by hope and love and aspiration as much as we were driven by despair.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;A Marxist offshoot of the progressive SDS, the Weathermen took their name from Bob Dylan’s 1965 alienated-youth anthem “Subterranean Homesick Blues” (with the line “You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows”), and initially demonstrated their resistance to “Amerikan” imperialism through armed street clashes with police.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Soon, however, the group’s members assumed clandestine identities, changed their collective name to the Weather Underground, and began detonating bombs at courthouses, correctional facilities, police stations, the Capitol and the Pentagon. Between October 1969 and September 1973, the Weather Underground claimed credit for some twenty bombings across the country, in which no one was harmed &lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt;— &lt;/span&gt;save the three cell members who perished in a Greenwich Village townhouse in March 1970, when one of their creations detonated prematurely.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Ayers claimed the fact that no other individuals were killed as a result of the Weathermen’s actions was “by design.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;In his autobiography, &lt;em&gt;Fugitive Days: A Memoir&lt;/em&gt;, Ayers recalled, he posed the question: “How far are you willing to take that step into what I consider the abyss of violence? And we really never did, except for that moment in the townhouse.… I actually think destroying property in the face of that kind of catastrophe is so &lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt;—&lt;/span&gt; restrained. And I don’t see it as a big deal. I mean, the Catholic Left, when the Berrigan Brothers climb into nuclear silos and hammer on the warheads, is that terrible terrorism and violence? I don’t, I don’t get it. I don’t see what the equivalency is. Yes, they’re crossing a line; yes, they’re breaking the law; yes, they’re using weapons. But they’re also not hurting anybody; they’re not killing anybody. Meanwhile, in the background, 2,000 people are being lined up at a pit and shot. And [laughs] where those things become equivalent just boggles my mind.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;While Ayers denounced Stalinism as a “poisonous, dogmatic mind-breaking kind of logic,” he lamented that “we examine less in this country … the way the ideology of anti-communism wreaks the same results.” Speaking from his home in Hyde Park, in Chicago, Ayers accused President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld of “murdering innocents … humiliating people … [and] devastating a country” in the invasion of Iraq.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;“[Y]ou know, it’s easy, sitting in America, with all of our wealth and privilege, and layers and layers of denial, it’s easy to say, to point to all the evil out there in the world and say, ‘But we’re good people, we’re good people,’” Ayers said. “[T]he problem there is that we fail to actually look at our history and our impact on the world. So if you say something &lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt;— &lt;/span&gt;if you point out what’s happened in the last two weeks [a reference to the Abu Ghraib scandal], ‘Oh, that’s an aberration.’ That’s the face&lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt; — &lt;/span&gt;that’s &lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt;— &lt;/span&gt;‘and un-American.’ I love that! Donald Rumsfeld says it’s un-American! When this began, George Bush said we’re going to shock and awe. What the hell is shock and awe? It’s murdering innocents; it’s humiliating people; it’s devastating a country. So we’re doing it now up close and personal.” Asked about President Bush’s ability to connect with voters, Ayers said: “Well, he’s very charming, and charm does get you pretty far in American politics. It’s kind of frightening.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7356730061915673962-5141090928612041936?l=thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com/feeds/5141090928612041936/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7356730061915673962&amp;postID=5141090928612041936&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7356730061915673962/posts/default/5141090928612041936'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7356730061915673962/posts/default/5141090928612041936'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com/2008/08/obamas-weatherman-connection.html' title='Obama&apos;s &apos;Weatherman&apos; Connection &amp; ties to Rashid Khalidi'/><author><name>We The People</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09874541607641106894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PbHUXIosAQg/SLTLPuGgzxI/AAAAAAAAAC4/eBsuUGvUV2Q/s72-c/qwilliam.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356730061915673962.post-5840799327544231917</id><published>2008-08-22T07:33:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-22T07:39:07.149-04:00</updated><title type='text'>OBAMA Constitutionally Ineligible for the Presidency</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PbHUXIosAQg/SK6lF6dZJkI/AAAAAAAAACw/kJcBvKnVfb8/s1600-h/constitution-01.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PbHUXIosAQg/SK6lF6dZJkI/AAAAAAAAACw/kJcBvKnVfb8/s200/constitution-01.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237304937688933954" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;A prominent Philadelphia attorney and Hillary Clinton supporter filed suit this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee. The action seeks an injunction preventing the senator from continuing his candidacy and a court order enjoining the DNC from nominating him next week, all on grounds that Sen. Obama is constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the office of President of the United States. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Phillip Berg, the filing attorney, is a former gubernatorial and senatorial candidate, former chair of the Democratic Party in Montgomery (PA) County, former member of the Democratic State Committee, and former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania. According to Berg, he filed the suit–just days before the DNC is to hold its nominating convention in Denver–for the health of the Democratic Party. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;“I filed this action at this time,” Berg stated, “to avoid the obvious problems that will occur when the Republican Party raises these issues after Obama is nominated.”. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Berg cited a number of unanswered questions regarding the Illinois senator’s background, and in today’s lawsuit maintained that Sen. Obama is not a natural born U.S. citizen or that, if he ever was, he lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia. Berg also cites what he calls “dual loyalties” due to his citizenship and ties with Kenya and Indonesia. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Even if Sen. Obama can prove his U.S. citizenship, Berg stated, citing the senator’s use of a birth certificate from the state of Hawaii verified as a forgery by three independent document forensic experts, the issue of “multi-citizenship with responsibilities owed to and allegiance to other countries” remains on the table. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;In the lawsuit, Berg states that Sen. Obama was born in Kenya, and not in Hawaii as the senator maintains. Before giving birth, according to the lawsuit, Obama’s mother traveled to Kenya with his father but was prevented from flying back to Hawaii because of the late stage of her pregnancy, “apparently a normal restriction to avoid births during a flight.” As Sen. Obama’s own paternal grandmother, half-brother and half-sister have also claimed, Berg maintains that Stanley Ann Dunham–Obama’s mother–gave birth to little Barack in Kenya and subsequently flew to Hawaii to register the birth. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Berg cites inconsistent accounts of Sen. Obama’s birth, including reports that he was born at two separate hospitals–Kapiolani Hospital and Queens Hospital–in Honolulu, as well a profound lack of birthing records for Stanley Ann Dunham, though simple “registry of birth” records for Barack Obama are available in a Hawaiian public records office. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Should Sen. Obama truly have been born in Kenya, Berg writes, the laws on the books at the time of his birth hold that U.S. citizenship may only pass to a child born overseas to a U.S. citizen parent and non-citizen parent if the former was at least 19 years of age. Sen. Obama’s mother was only 18 at the time. Therefore, because U.S. citizenship could not legally be passed on to him, Obama could not be registered as a “natural born” citizen and would therefore be ineligible to seek the presidency pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Moreover, even if Sen. Obama could have somehow been deemed “natural born,” that citizenship was lost in or around 1967 when he and his mother took up residency in Indonesia, where Stanley Ann Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian citizen. Berg also states that he possesses copies of Sen. Obama’s registration to Fransiskus Assisi School In Jakarta, Indonesia which clearly show that he was registered under the name “Barry Soetoro” and his citizenship listed as Indonesian.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7356730061915673962-5840799327544231917?l=thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.americasright.com/2008/08/obama-sued-in-philadelphia-federal.html' title='OBAMA Constitutionally Ineligible for the Presidency'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com/feeds/5840799327544231917/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7356730061915673962&amp;postID=5840799327544231917&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7356730061915673962/posts/default/5840799327544231917'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7356730061915673962/posts/default/5840799327544231917'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com/2008/08/obama-constitutionally-ineligible-for.html' title='OBAMA Constitutionally Ineligible for the Presidency'/><author><name>We The People</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09874541607641106894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PbHUXIosAQg/SK6lF6dZJkI/AAAAAAAAACw/kJcBvKnVfb8/s72-c/constitution-01.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356730061915673962.post-3574526346307836127</id><published>2008-08-21T21:03:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-21T21:13:29.816-04:00</updated><title type='text'>OBAMA AUDIO ON HOW HE FEELS ABOUT ABORTION!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PbHUXIosAQg/SK4SBhHBEwI/AAAAAAAAACo/Vsxefq0Jaus/s1600-h/9517.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PbHUXIosAQg/SK4SBhHBEwI/AAAAAAAAACo/Vsxefq0Jaus/s200/9517.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237143233955435266" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;"&gt;THIS IS OBAMA IN HIS OWN WORDS,  HOW HE FEELS ABOUT ABORTION!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;em&gt;In this audio Obama coldly claims two doctors helping a baby born alive after a botched abortion would be a burden for the aborting mother when he is arguing against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act at the Illinois state legislature April 2002 &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ypDwNpgIUQc&amp;amp;color1=11645361&amp;amp;color2=13619151&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ypDwNpgIUQc&amp;amp;color1=11645361&amp;amp;color2=13619151&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;SO LIFE IS A BURDEN TO OBAMA!

Obama’s legislative actions in 2003 - denying effective protection even to babies born alive during abortions - were contrary to the position taken on the same language by even the most liberal members of Congress. The bill Obama killed was virtually identical to the federal bill that even NARAL ultimately did not oppose.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="role_document0"&gt;&lt;span id="role_document"  style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;

While cleared of conspiracy he was convicted on multiple counts of material support for terrorism. Legal groups &lt;a href="http://www.stoptheaclu.com/archives/2008/08/06/aclu-crying-about-osamas-drivers-conviction/"&gt;like the ACLU&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href="http://ccrjustice.org/newsroom/press-releases/ccr-statement-hamdan-decision"&gt;Center for Constitutional Rights&lt;/a&gt; quickly criticized the ruling. Certain media elements were not far behind. Much of the criticism was understandable, and much was &lt;a href="http://www.stoptheaclu.com/archives/2008/08/07/here-we-go-the-msm-lines-up-against-usa-in-hamdan-case/"&gt;distorted through the lens of bias.&lt;/a&gt; Most of the criticism ended up being deflated after a &lt;a href="http://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/wireStory?id=5534430"&gt;surprisingly lenient sentence&lt;/a&gt; of five and a half years, including five years and a month already served. This sentence fell short of the thirty years to life the prosecutors wanted. Even one of Salim's defense attorneys admitted the &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/08/washington/08gitmo.html?_r=1&amp;amp;adxnnl=1&amp;amp;oref=slogin&amp;amp;adxnnlx=1218388047-1P5j5nIp8kt9nheYawmXOQ"&gt;verdict was fair and just.&lt;/a&gt; However, a fair outcome doesn't necessarily reflect a fair process. So, are the military tribunals for the Guantanamo detainees fair? To answer this question we must critically look at both sides of the argument, the details of the process itself, and understand how we arrived at this point.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;When war has been declared the United States has made use of military tribunals to try captured enemies outside the scope of conventional civil and criminal matters, historically providing a trial for combatants acting in violation to the Rules of War. The Geneva Conventions established what most countries have adopted as the international standard regarding such rules.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The perception pushed by some is that combatants held at Guantanamo deserve protection under the provisions provided by the Geneva Convention. Others argued that the essence of the Convention is the distinction between lawful combatants and civilians and that terrorists violate this by being non-uniformed, negating this distinction and endangering innocent civilians. This argument applies that Prisoner of War status and the rights that come with that should not extend to those that violate its rules&lt;a href="http://counterterrorismblog.org/2006/06/prediction_bush_congress_will.php#ping-7798"&gt;. The Supreme Court settled this argument in 2006&lt;/a&gt; in favor of extending many of these rights to captured combatants held at Guantanamo. This decision was &lt;a href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/05-184.ZS.html"&gt;Hamdan vs. Rumsfeld&lt;/a&gt; which extended certain rights to the detainees and placed limits on the authority of the executive branch. This decision was the catalyst for Congress to pass the &lt;a href="http://www.loc.gov/rr/frd/Military_Law/pdf/PL-109-366.pdf"&gt;Military Commissions Act of 2006&lt;/a&gt; authorizing the establishment of military commissions within the parameters set by the Supreme Court.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The 5-4 ruling in &lt;a href="http://www.supremecourtus.gov/opinions/07pdf/06-1195.pdf"&gt;Boumediene vs. Bush&lt;/a&gt; threw another wrench into the efforts to prosecute prisoners at Guantanamo by determining that habeas corpus rights extend to these prisoners and that the Military Commissions Act unconstitutionally suspended those rights. Defense lawyers used this ruling in an attempt to delay the military trial of Salim Hamdan, but were unsuccessful in their argument that the procedures violated certain constitutional rights. District Judge James Robertson ruled against delaying the trial on the grounds that these arguments could be raised on appeal after the completion of the trial. How this ruling's precedent will affect future proceedings against Guantanamo detainees is yet to be seen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Determining whether the military commission process is fair requires looking at several factors. Hamdan's trial served as a test case for the government prosecutors and the detainee defense lawyers. Behind Hamdan there are around 80 other Guantanamo detainees, including five alleged September 11th plotters, the Pentagon intends to try before the commissions. It is important to observe Hamdan's case to determine the probability of fairness in future military commissions because of the precedents it has set.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Most of the key criticisms in Hamdan's case were addressed. The concern that evidence obtained through coercive interrogation would be used was alleviated when the judge excluded statements obtained from Hamdan prior to his arrival at Guantanamo. Concerns remained over allowed statements obtained after his arrival due to defense allegations they were obtained through abusive procedures. However, no convincing evidence was presented to prove these allegations. Defense attorneys were also given adequate opportunity and access to challenge secret evidence. Many other points exist in &lt;a href="http://sanityinjection.wordpress.com/2008/08/06/are-us-military-tribunals-fair/"&gt;favor of the fairness&lt;/a&gt; in this trial including the fact that Hamdan's conviction is automatically appealed to a military appellate court. That court can reduce, but cannot increase, his sentence. Hamdan can then appeal to U.S. civilian courts as well. However, &lt;a href="http://www.reason.com/blog/show/128004.html"&gt;many legal concerns remain&lt;/a&gt; such as the question of whether his prosecution violated the Constitution's prohibition of ex post facto laws. Concerns addressed in Hamdan's case do not guarantee future trials will be addressed similarly, but recognized respect of precedent makes it probable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;In my opinion, Salim Hamdan received a fair trial and a lenient but just sentencing. The system in place for future military trials is still not perfect, but provides more protections and rights for captured enemy combatants than ever provided in history. Certain elements definitely need to be addressed while others are yet to be determined. The legal journey to refine the process has only begun.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7356730061915673962-8920255683006072102?l=thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.stoptheaclu.com/archives/2008/08/14/are-military-tribunals-fair/' title='Are Military Tribunals Fair?

During that time, I do not recall a single member of Congress canceling a visit with the troops despite being just a few hours away, but Senator Obama seems to have been more concerned with how the visit would affect him than how it would affect the soldiers recovering from wounds received in the service of their country." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7356730061915673962-926099254600108896?l=thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/obama_cancels_visit/2008/07/31/117945.html?s=al&amp;promo_code=6704-1' title='Hospital Doctor Slams Obama, Canceled Visit'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com/feeds/926099254600108896/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7356730061915673962&amp;postID=926099254600108896&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7356730061915673962/posts/default/926099254600108896'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7356730061915673962/posts/default/926099254600108896'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/hospital-doctor-slams-obama-canceled.html' title='Hospital Doctor Slams Obama, Canceled Visit'/><author><name>We The People</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09874541607641106894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PbHUXIosAQg/SJJwpOMRN4I/AAAAAAAAACM/7W31PFuAlZU/s72-c/americasupport.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356730061915673962.post-7821168819380111558</id><published>2008-07-31T21:48:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2008-12-13T07:45:25.310-05:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PbHUXIosAQg/SJJrtzG4SiI/AAAAAAAAACE/rPVnTdFGcmc/s1600-h/Carter.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 406px; height: 278px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PbHUXIosAQg/SJJrtzG4SiI/AAAAAAAAACE/rPVnTdFGcmc/s400/Carter.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229360551887915554" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;OBAMA is half white and half black.

He refuses one on one debates with anyone because Clinton showed how he does not know anything with out his talking points in front of him! The man thinks there are 57 states in America.

Barack Obama scrapped plans to visit wounded members of the armed forces in Germany as part of his overseas trip, a decision his campaign said was made because the Democratic presidential candidate thought it would be inappropriate on a campaign-funded journey. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A campaign adviser said the U.S. military saw the visit as a campaign stop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"We learned from the Pentagon last night that the visit would be viewed instead as a campaign event," the adviser, retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Scott Gration, said in a statement. "Senator Obama did not want to have a trip to see our wounded warriors perveived as a campaign event when his visit was to show his appreciation for our troops and decided instead not to go." &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign immediately criticized the move. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Barack Obama is wrong. It is never inappropriate to visit our men and women in the military," said Brian Rogers, a spokesman for the Republican contender. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obama's decision raised a number of questions because the visit, which had been scheduled for Friday, never appeared on the schedule of events distributed to reporters who are accompanying him on his travels. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first word from the campaign about its existence was a statement from Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obama had been planning to go to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany before a flight to Paris. Gibbs said the stop was canceled because Obama decided "it would be inappropriate to make a stop to visit troops at a U.S. military facility as part of a trip funded by the campaign."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So Obama has time to play basketball but no time to visit are injured troops. Seems playing ball is more important to Obama then the injured troops are. Just shows how much the troops are on Obama's mind or shall i say whats on Obama's mind is making a 3 pointer basket!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He downs the troops in the past and shows today they are on the back burner!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7356730061915673962-4904188687426149113?l=thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com/feeds/4904188687426149113/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7356730061915673962&amp;postID=4904188687426149113&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7356730061915673962/posts/default/4904188687426149113'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7356730061915673962/posts/default/4904188687426149113'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/obama-scraps-visit-to-wounded-us-troops.html' title='Obama Scraps Visit to Wounded U.S. Troops'/><author><name>We The People</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09874541607641106894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356730061915673962.post-7201651223541135470</id><published>2008-07-24T18:24:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2008-12-13T07:45:25.464-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Obama Flipping and Floundering in Middle East</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PbHUXIosAQg/SIkCItMqhxI/AAAAAAAAAB0/adLPWbPAcc4/s1600-h/obama.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PbHUXIosAQg/SIkCItMqhxI/AAAAAAAAAB0/adLPWbPAcc4/s400/obama.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226711191135094546" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Everything seemed planned for the future campaign commercials — at least, that’s how it seemed to a U.S. Air Force captain when Sen. Barack Obama and his entourage swooped into Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan for an hour-long visit last Saturday at the start of a week-long foreign tour. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“He got off the plane and got into a bullet proof vehicle” without pausing to acknowledge the U.S. troops who had been waiting all day just for the opportunity to meet him, the officer told the Blackfive pro-military blog. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As the soldiers lined up to shake his hand, the Illinois senator “blew them off and didn’t say a word,” ducking into the conference room to meet the general. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then the armored vehicles took him to where “he could take his publicity pictures playing basketball. He again shunned the opportunity to talk to soldiers to thank them for their service,” the captain wrote. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“As you know, I am not a very political person. I just wanted to share with you what happened” during Obama’s visit, the captain related. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“I swear, we got more thanks from the NBA basketball players or the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders than from Senator Obama,” he added. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Illinois senator used his first-ever trip to Afghanistan to drive home his campaign message that the Bush administration — and by inference, his Republican rival, Sen. John McCain — have squandered resources in Iraq while ignoring the “central front” in the war on terror, which Obama insists is Afghanistan. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Traveling onward to Iraq, Obama met with U.S. commanders and with Iraqi leaders, who briefed him on the dramatic progress in decreasing violence that has been made since the U.S. troop surge began last year. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And yet, Obama told ABC News that he still would not have supported the surge, even knowing how things worked out. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Hypotheticals are always difficult,” he said. “Hindsight is 20-20.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although U.S. casualties in Iraq dropped from 76 for the month of July 2007 to just five so far for July 2008, the Illinois senator said that President Bush’s policy was “just something I disagreed with.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of course, should he become president, Obama will be faced with similar situations where he will be required to make difficult decisions based on the “hypotheticals” of uncertain intelligence, inferences, and murky political forecasts of cause and effect. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;CBS News anchor Katie Couric uncharacteristically grilled Obama on his unwillingness to acknowledge that the surge had been a success in a separate interview on Tuesday taped while Obama was in Jordan. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“You raised a lot of eyebrows on this trip saying even knowing what you know now, you still would not have supported the surge. People may be scratching their heads and saying why,” she said. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When Obama tried to avoid a direct answer, Couric came back to the charge repeatedly, asking him if the additional troops had helped to reduce the violence. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Katie, as you’ve asked me three different times, and I have said repeatedly that there is no doubt that our troops helped reduce violence [in iraq]. There’s no doubt.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite this, he said he continued to oppose the surge, prompting Couric to ask him again if the current reduced level of violence could have occurred without the troop increase ordered by Bush and supported by McCain. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Katie, I have no idea what would have happened had we applied my approach, which was to put more pressure on the Iraqis to arrive at a political reconciliation,” Obama said. “So this is all hypotheticals.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It was the type of comment that has allowed the McCain adviser Kori Schake to accuse Obama of “not understanding the consequences of his policy choices.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In opposing the surge in January 2007, Obama stated that it would not “make a significant dent in the sectarian violence that’s taking place” in Iraq, and that it would “not prove to be the one [strategy] that changes the dynamics significantly.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of course, events have proved just the opposite. As the Washington Times pointed out recently in an editorial, if Obama’s initial policy of withdrawing all U.S. troops by March 2008 had been put into action, it “would have meant leaving the mission incomplete and leaving Iraq in defeat.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Moving on to a carefully choreographed trip to Israel — only the second time he has ever visited the Jewish state — Obama immediately pledged that if elected he would tackle the issue of Middle East peace negotiations “right away.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That elicited skepticism even from the traveling press corps, which for the most part has fawned over Obama from the start. “What fresh strategies would you bring?” he was asked. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the world of marketing, Obama’s response would have been called a repackaging job. “A U.S. administration has to put its weight behind a process,” he said, “recognizing that it’s not going to happen immediately.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The United States has been pushing a peace “process” between Arabs and Israelis since the administration of Jimmy Carter in the late 1970s. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During that time, Israel has been forced to fight two wars in Lebanon, put down two Palestinian uprisings, endure Iraqi missile strikes and waves of suicide bombers, and most recently suffer two thousand rocket attacks from neighboring Gaza. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obama said his role in the “process” would not be “to dictate to either of the parties what this deal should be, but hopefully to be able to facilitate and promote a meaningful, realistic, pragmatic, concrete strategy.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That prompted Hishem Melhem, the Washington, D.C., correspondent for the Al Arabiya satellite television network to politely scoff. “To begin with, the next American president will be forced, regardless of his intentions, to be focusing on the old so-called arc of crisis: Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan. If he’s going to focus on the Arab-Israeli conflict, he’s going to find an arid landscape.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yesterday, Obama sparred with reporters during a brief press conference in the Israeli town of Sderot, which has born the brunt of Palestinian rocket attacks over the past two years, over his offer to hold unconditional talks with Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“A year ago, you said you would meet in your first year as president” with Ahmadinejad and other leaders of rogue nations, “Is there anything you’ve heard today in your discussions with Israeli leaders to make you rethink that pledge, or are you standing by that?” a reporter asked. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The reporter was referring to a moment in the CNN/YouTube Democratic debate in Charleston, S.C., on July 23, 2007, when Obama was asked if he would be ”willing to meet separately, without pre-condition, during the first year of your administration, in Washington or anywhere else, with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, in order to bridge the gap that divies our countries.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the time, Obama answered, “I would.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Wednesday, however, he attempted to shift ground. “I think you have to look at what the question was in South Carolina and how I responded . . . I think that what I said in response was that I would, at my time and choosing, be willing to meet with any leader if I thought it would promote the national security interests of the United States of America. And, Dan, that continues to be my position.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a hastily-organized conference call with reporters just one hour after Obama made those remarks, McCain foreign policy adviser Randy Scheunemann accused Obama of “trying to rewrite history . . . I guess for Senator Obama, words matter — except when they pose an inconvenient truth.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sen. Obama’s goal throughout this rare overseas visit has been to generate the impression of foreign policy experience, and to win the confidence of American Jewish voters, who so far have responded lukewarmly to his candidacy. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A recent Gallup Poll shows that fully one-third of Jewish voters favor McCain, a dramatic increase in Republican support from previous elections. In 2004, Sen. John Kerry won 74 percent of the Jewish vote. In 2000, Al Gore won 79 percent. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While Jews make up just 3 percent of the U.S. electorate, campaign strategists in both camps believe that their vote could determine the outcome in key swing states such as Florida, Ohio, Nevada, and possibly in Pennsylvania and New Jersey as well. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In June, Obama made what appeared to be a firm pledge to support Jerusalem remaining the “undivided” capital of Israel in a speech before the American Israel Public Affairs committee (AIPAC). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Those comments won him a standing ovation from some 6,000 people in the Washington, D.C., convention center. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But just days later, Obama said he needed to “correct” that statement, that had been “poorly worded” by speech writers. Yesterday, he told reporters that the fate of Jerusalem was “a final status issue,” meaning that in fact it could be divided by mutual accord. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After the Obama press conference, McCain told reporters traveling with his campaign that it was hard to say how his administration would differ from an Obama administration on Israel. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I don't know because I never know exactly what his position is," McCain said, citing Obama's Jerusalem comments. "I know the issues. I've been there time and time again."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7356730061915673962-7201651223541135470?l=thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com/feeds/7201651223541135470/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7356730061915673962&amp;postID=7201651223541135470&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7356730061915673962/posts/default/7201651223541135470'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7356730061915673962/posts/default/7201651223541135470'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/obama-flipping-and-floundering-in.html' title='Obama Flipping and Floundering in Middle East'/><author><name>We The People</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09874541607641106894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PbHUXIosAQg/SIkCItMqhxI/AAAAAAAAAB0/adLPWbPAcc4/s72-c/obama.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356730061915673962.post-5546959792443141642</id><published>2008-07-24T08:59:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-07-24T09:00:45.100-04:00</updated><title type='text'>The McCain Op-Ed The New York Times Wouldn’t Publish</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;By Sen. John McCain&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In January 2007, when General David Petraeus took command in Iraq, he called the situation “hard” but not “hopeless.” Today, 18 months later, violence has fallen by up to 80 percent to the lowest levels in four years, and Sunni and Shiite terrorists are reeling from a string of defeats. The situation now is full of hope, but considerable hard work remains to consolidate our fragile gains.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Progress has been due primarily to an increase in the number of troops and a change in their strategy. I was an early advocate of the surge at a time when it had few supporters in Washington. Senator Barack Obama was an equally vocal opponent. “I am not persuaded that 20,000 additional troops in Iraq is going to solve the sectarian violence there,” he said on January 10, 2007. “In fact, I think it will do the reverse.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Now Senator Obama has been forced to acknowledge that “our troops have performed brilliantly in lowering the level of violence.” But he still denies that any political progress has resulted.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Perhaps he is unaware that the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad has recently certified that, as one news article put it, “Iraq has met all but three of 18 original benchmarks set by Congress last year to measure security, political and economic progress.” Even more heartening has been progress that’s not measured by the benchmarks. More than 90,000 Iraqis, many of them Sunnis who once fought against the government, have signed up as Sons of Iraq to fight against the terrorists. Nor do they measure Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki’s new-found willingness to crack down on Shiite extremists in Basra and Sadr City — actions that have done much to dispel suspicions of sectarianism.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The success of the surge has not changed Senator Obama’s determination to pull out all of our combat troops. All that has changed is his rationale. In a New York Times op-ed and a speech this week, he offered his “plan for Iraq” in advance of his first “fact finding” trip to that country in more than three years. It consisted of the same old proposal to pull all of our troops out within 16 months. In 2007 he wanted to withdraw because he thought the war was lost. If we had taken his advice, it would have been. Now he wants to withdraw because he thinks Iraqis no longer need our assistance.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;To make this point, he mangles the evidence. He makes it sound as if Prime Minister Maliki has endorsed the Obama timetable, when all he has said is that he would like a plan for the eventual withdrawal of U.S. troops at some unspecified point in the future.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Senator Obama is also misleading on the Iraqi military’s readiness. The Iraqi Army will be equipped and trained by the middle of next year, but this does not, as Senator Obama suggests, mean that they will then be ready to secure their country without a good deal of help. The Iraqi Air Force, for one, still lags behind, and no modern army can operate without air cover. The Iraqis are also still learning how to conduct planning, logistics, command and control, communications, and other complicated functions needed to support frontline troops.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;No one favors a permanent U.S. presence, as Senator Obama charges. A partial withdrawal has already occurred with the departure of five “surge” brigades, and more withdrawals can take place as the security situation improves. As we draw down in Iraq, we can beef up our presence on other battlefields, such as Afghanistan, without fear of leaving a failed state behind. I have said that I expect to welcome home most of our troops from Iraq by the end of my first term in office, in 2013.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;But I have also said that any draw-downs must be based on a realistic assessment of conditions on the ground, not on an artificial timetable crafted for domestic political reasons. This is the crux of my disagreement with Senator Obama.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Senator Obama has said that he would consult our commanders on the ground and Iraqi leaders, but he did no such thing before releasing his “plan for Iraq.” Perhaps that’s because he doesn’t want to hear what they have to say. During the course of eight visits to Iraq, I have heard many times from our troops what Major General Jeffrey Hammond, commander of coalition forces in Baghdad, recently said: that leaving based on a timetable would be “very dangerous.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The danger is that extremists supported by Al Qaeda and Iran could stage a comeback, as they have in the past when we’ve had too few troops in Iraq. Senator Obama seems to have learned nothing from recent history. I find it ironic that he is emulating the worst mistake of the Bush administration by waving the “Mission Accomplished” banner prematurely.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I am also dismayed that he never talks about winning the war — only of ending it. But if we don’t win the war, our enemies will. A triumph for the terrorists would be a disaster for us. That is something I will not allow to happen as president. Instead I will continue implementing a proven counterinsurgency strategy not only in Iraq but also in Afghanistan with the goal of creating stable, secure, self-sustaining democratic allies.&lt;/p&gt;                            &lt;span class="commentslink"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7356730061915673962-5546959792443141642?l=thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com/feeds/5546959792443141642/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7356730061915673962&amp;postID=5546959792443141642&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7356730061915673962/posts/default/5546959792443141642'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7356730061915673962/posts/default/5546959792443141642'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/mccain-op-ed-new-york-times-wouldnt.html' title='The McCain Op-Ed The New York Times Wouldn’t Publish'/><author><name>We The People</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09874541607641106894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356730061915673962.post-1999237185104944273</id><published>2008-07-24T08:41:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2008-07-24T08:41:56.220-04:00</updated><title type='text'>OBAMA IS A CONFUSED MAN!</title><content type='html'>Obama is saying that in his 10 year term as the president of the United States.  Wait I think Obama needs to read the 22nd amendment. Also Obama says he has campaigned in 57 states. Makes one wonder where this man head is. Seems Obama opens his mouth before he thinks and that is what’s going to get him in trouble when its time for one on one debates. He has no clue to the world policies.&lt;br /&gt;obama is upset that troops watch fox news in Iraq. Well maybe because Fox News gives the true story unlike the rest of the MSM who is in the tank with Obama!&lt;br /&gt;Barack Obama has questioned, implicitly, the value of English as a primary language.   Why shouldn’t the rest of us learn to speak Spanish?  What is so “special” about English?&lt;br /&gt;When Obama announced he was going to “refine” his position on Iraq last week, not surprisingly many of his supporters were in a snit. It’s hard to blame them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama campaigned on a promise to begin withdrawing troops from Iraq immediately, at the rate of a brigade or two a month, effectively removing the U.S. presence within 16 months of him assuming office. To bolster his antiwar credentials when jumping into the primary, in January of 2007 he introduced legislation in the Senate to have all of the troops out of Iraq by March of this year. And during the primary, he reminded anyone with a microphone that he was the only major candidate who had opposed the Iraq war from the beginning. If Obama were to refine his positions such that he were no longer explicitly in favor of ending the Iraq war promptly, it could represent a significant blow to his credibility among party activists and longtime supporters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other words, Obama will get the U.S. out of Iraq when it appears prudent to do so. That is, as far as anyone can tell, also the Bush administration’s position. Those on the left hanging their hopes on Obama ending the war swiftly might be in for a rude awakening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama’s word means nothing anymore because you don’t know when he is telling the truth. This man can not be trusted with his word. He is no better then the Dictator who rules in IRAN!&lt;br /&gt;It should make you think why the terrorists want Obama to win. Obama is supported by all Terrorists. THAT IS SCARY! Come to think of it his close friends are terrorists. They know more about bombs then Obama does.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7356730061915673962-1999237185104944273?l=thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com/feeds/1999237185104944273/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7356730061915673962&amp;postID=1999237185104944273&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7356730061915673962/posts/default/1999237185104944273'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7356730061915673962/posts/default/1999237185104944273'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/obama-is-confused-man.html' title='OBAMA IS A CONFUSED MAN!'/><author><name>We The People</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09874541607641106894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356730061915673962.post-4558981946080814490</id><published>2007-10-25T18:52:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2008-12-13T07:45:25.643-05:00</updated><title type='text'>In Honor of  Lt.

Sources close to the background check, which has not yet been released, said Mr. Obama, 45, spent at least four years in a so-called Madrassa, or Muslim seminary, in Indonesia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;"He was a Muslim, but he concealed it," the source said.

The sources said the Clinton camp concluded the Illinois Democrat concealed his prior Muslim faith and education.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"The background investigation will provide major ammunition to his &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;opponents," the source said.

Mr. Obama’s mother, the daughter of a farmer, came from Wichita, Kansas. Mr. Obama's parents divorced when he was two years old. His father returned to Kenya.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Later, Mr. Obama's mother married an Indonesian student and the family moved to Jakarta. Mr. Obama returned to Hawaii when he was 10 to live with his maternal grandparents.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;The sources said the background check concerned Mr. Obama's years in Jakarta. In Indonesia, the young Obama was enrolled in a Madrassa and was raised and educated as a Muslim. Although Indonesia is regarded as a moderate Muslim state, the U.S. intelligence community has determined that today most of these schools are financed by the Saudi Arabian government and they teach a Wahhabi doctrine that denies the rights of non-Muslims.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;"Obama's education began a life-long relationship with Islam as a faith and Muslims as a community," the source said. "This has been a relationship that contains numerous question marks."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;The sources said Mr. Obama spent at least four years in a Muslim school in Indonesia. They said when Mr. Obama was 10, his mother and her second husband separated. She and her son returned to Hawaii.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Mr. Obama says his father was "raised a Muslim, but by the time he met my mother he was a confirmed atheist...." Mr. Obama also describes his father as largely absent from his life. He says his Indonesian stepfather was "skeptical" about religion and "saw religion as not particularly useful in the practical business of making one's way in the world ...."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Seems to show by his disrespect the his muslim friends must have said something to him because out of n where he starts a show of disrespect for this country and really could care less what anyone says.

But, it won’t be long before they regroup, begin their                    own "Surge" in this decades-long "War On America." We won’t                    stand by quietly when they do; &lt;a href="http://news.newsmax.com/?fUXajtgA-WBSRWQHVb0guGPBkQf&amp;amp;http://www.vvlf.org/er.php?76"&gt;nor,                    should you&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;My fellow POWs and I have long known the contempt the                    extreme Left has for our military. We felt the crush of rifle                    butts in our faces, beatings and unspeakable torture in the                    Hanoi Hilton Prison when we refused to kowtow to American                    traitors who traveled to these countries for propaganda                    "photo-ops" with our Communist jailors.&lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://news.newsmax.com/images/4915/vet_10-09.jpg" align="right" border="0" hspace="10" vspace="10" /&gt;The so-called "anti-war                    movement," lead by the likes of Lt. John Kerry and his mentor,                    Sen. Ted Kennedy, also said they "supported the troops". What                    they didn’t say is whose "troops."&lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;We knew the answer then, we were witnesses and victims.                    It’s the same today. They "support" America’s enemies, any                    Communist Regime, Dictator or Terrorists that vow to kill and                    maim American soldiers and innocent civilians. &lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;American soldiers in Vietnam were falsely accused of being                    a "barbarian horde," "rapists," "murderers," "drug addicts"                    and "baby killers."&lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;Today, their sons, daughters and grandchildren serving in                    uniform stand accused of being "terrorists," "Nazis,"                    "cold-blooded murderers," people who wantonly conduct "air                    raids on villages" bombing and killing civilians. &lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;Every one of those spurious accusations were spewed from                    the Halls of Congress, most often by the same men and women                    who voted to send America’s youth to war, only to denounce,                    vilify and abandon them later, when the opportunity for                    personal, political advantage presented itself.&lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;When I and my fellow veterans — POWs, Soldiers, Airmen,                    Marines and Navy Swift Boat combat veterans alike — attempted                    to warn America about one of the most notorious turncoats from                    the Vietnam era, we were initially ignored by the mainstream                    media.&lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;When the press and TV networks could no longer cover-up for                    John Kerry’s very public treasonous conduct, we were accused                    of being "serial liars," shouted down by Leftist political                    campaign operatives disguised as "journalists." All the while                    the networks kept the film evidence of Lt. Kerry’s betrayal                    under lock and key, where it remains hidden from the American                    public even today.&lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;The recent treatment accorded Gen. Petraeus by the same                    radicals in Congress and the media was strikingly similar to                    our experiences in 2004. Before he uttered a single word, this                    highly decorated combat veteran, a man of great honor who has                    risked his life many times in the defense of our country,                    stood accused, disparaged and berated by a pack of                    power-hungry shirkers and slackers unworthy to polish his                    combat medals. &lt;a href="http://news.newsmax.com/?fUXajtgA-WBSRWQHVb0guGPBkQf&amp;amp;http://www.vvlf.org/er.php?76"&gt;Contribute&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;Veterans who attempted to expose Sen. Kerry in 2004 were                    treated no better. But, Kerry and his band of Leftist comrades                    had something special in store for me and my fellow POWs and                    their wives. We were sued repeatedly for three long years,                    forced to spend $1 million just to defend ourselves in several                    frivolous lawsuits.&lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;What did we do to cause such a prolonged, vindictive                    assault? We told the truth no Mainstream Media news operation                    wanted the American public to know, then or now.&lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;Dozens of my fellow POWs and their wives participated in a                    documentary, "Stolen Honor: Wounds that Never Heal." In that                    film we said Kerry and his anti-war followers were liars and                    frauds working on behalf of our brutal Communists captors.                    Their collaboration with the enemy prolonged our captivity and                    the Vietnam War itself by years. Their vicious lies accusing                    us and all U.S. servicemen of being "war criminals" put our                    lives and the lives of Americans still fighting on the                    battlefield in grave danger.&lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;Worse of all, Kerry’s self-aggrandizing, false accusations                    against American soldiers who had born the brunt of the                    bleeding and dying in Vietnam, spawned the myths our young men                    and women in Iraq today are forced to defend against, even as                    they fight for their lives on the battlefield each and every                    day.&lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;You can draw a straight line from the deceitful Leftist                    tactics used to bring America’s defeat and dishonor in Vietnam                    to Iraq today.&lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;America’s military didn’t lose the Vietnam War. Congress                    declared defeat, voted to abandon South Vietnam nearly two                    years after our last combat troops left. That sell-out, not                    only of our South Vietnam ally, but the nearly 60,000                    Americans who gave their lives on the battlefield, ignited a                    genocidal holocaust throughout Southeast Asia that can still                    only be measured in the millions, an estimated three to five                    million innocent civilians brutally murdered.&lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;We cannot let that happen again. We will not let that                    happen. You can stand shoulder to shoulder with us to &lt;a href="http://news.newsmax.com/?fUXajtgA-WBSRWQHVb0guGPBkQf&amp;amp;http://www.vvlf.org/er.php?76"&gt;prevent                    that from happening&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;Three years ago, I and my fellow POWs and Vietnam combat                    veterans created a non-profit organization, "&lt;a href="http://news.newsmax.com/?kWX7Gta1KYD2RUQYwb-gQnUBDXk&amp;amp;http://www.vvlf.org/er.php?77"&gt;The                    Vietnam Veterans Legacy Foundation&lt;/a&gt;". Our mission was                    simple, to set the record straight about the Vietnam War and                    those who served and fought there. Little did we know then                    we’d be slapped with multiple lawsuits for daring to uncover                    the layer upon layer of lies that constitute the false Vietnam                    History.&lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;Nor, could we know then the Left’s plans to use the same                    Vietnam blueprint for defeat in Iraq. Little wonder Kerry and                    his followers wanted to sue us into silence! But, we                    prevailed. We successfully defended against each of those                    lawsuits, all have now been withdrawn. And, we will not remain                    silent any longer.&lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;Our research into the Vietnam War, most especially, those                    individuals and organizations responsible for creating the                    completely false history of Vietnam, is voluminous, factual                    and compelling. We have amassed a virtual library of records,                    documents and eyewitness testimony that proves, conclusively,                    the popular history of Vietnam is pure bunk, propaganda.&lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;But, to show that, to prove that and to reach the widest                    public audience with our findings, we need your help. Three                    years of litigation and research has put us deeply in debt,                    $250,000 in legal fees alone. We do not have MoveOn.Org’s deep                    pockets, nor will we get a discount from The New York                    Times.&lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;Anything you can afford to help us complete our mission, to                    set the record straight about Vietnam and, now, Iraq, is                    desperately needed and greatly appreciated. But, time is                    running short. (&lt;a href="http://news.newsmax.com/?fUXajtgA-WBSRWQHVb0guGPBkQf&amp;amp;http://www.vvlf.org/er.php?76"&gt;Please go                    here to stand with us&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;The "War On America" is just heating up again. What we do                    now will dictate America’s future, whether it is one of                    victory over terrorism, or, decades more of defeat,                    humiliation in a lost, but noble cause.&lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;God Bless You and America,&lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;Col.

At such a point, continuing to keep &lt;st2:sn st="on"&gt;Berger&lt;/st2:sn&gt; on board as a key advisor, where he might have access to sensitive material, would be beyond incomprehensible.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st2:sn st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;Clinton&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;/st2:sn&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; campaign declined to comment.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;st2:sn st="on"&gt;Berger&lt;/st2:sn&gt; has admitted stealing documents from the National Archives in advance of the 9/11 Commission hearings in 2003. The documents, written by White House counterterrorism czar &lt;st1:personname st="on"&gt;&lt;st2:givenname st="on"&gt;Richard&lt;/st2:givenname&gt; &lt;st2:sn st="on"&gt;Clarke&lt;/st2:sn&gt;&lt;/st1:personname&gt;, were a “tough review” of the &lt;st2:sn st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Clinton&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;/st2:sn&gt; administration’s shortcomings in dealing with terrorism, &lt;st2:sn st="on"&gt;Clarke&lt;/st2:sn&gt;’s lawyer told the Washington Post.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;On several occasions, &lt;st2:sn st="on"&gt;Berger&lt;/st2:sn&gt; stuffed highly classified documents into his pants and socks before spiriting them out of the Archives building in &lt;st2:sn st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Washington&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt;&lt;/st2:sn&gt;, according to investigators. On one occasion, upon reaching the street, he hid documents under a construction trailer after checking the windows of the Archives and Justice Department buildings to make sure he was not being watched.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;st2:sn st="on"&gt;Berger&lt;/st2:sn&gt; came back later and retrieved the documents, taking them home and cutting them up with scissors. Two days later, he was informed by Archive employees that his removal of documents had been detected.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;“&lt;st2:sn st="on"&gt;Berger&lt;/st2:sn&gt; panicked because he realized he was caught,” said a report by the National Archives inspector general, which also recounted his initial reaction. “&lt;st2:sn st="on"&gt;Berger&lt;/st2:sn&gt; lied.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;st2:sn st="on"&gt;Berger&lt;/st2:sn&gt; also lied to the public, telling reporters he made an “honest mistake” by “inadvertently” taking the documents, which he blamed on his own “sloppiness.” &lt;st1:personname st="on"&gt;&lt;st2:givenname st="on"&gt;Bill&lt;/st2:givenname&gt;  &lt;st2:sn st="on"&gt;Clinton&lt;/st2:sn&gt;&lt;/st1:personname&gt; vouched for the explanation for &lt;st2:sn st="on"&gt;Berger&lt;/st2:sn&gt;, who served as his national security adviser.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;st2:sn st="on"&gt;Berger&lt;/st2:sn&gt; later conceded: “I was giving a benign explanation for what was not benign.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The Justice Department initially said &lt;st2:sn st="on"&gt;Berger&lt;/st2:sn&gt; stole only copies of classified documents and not originals. But the House Government Reform Committee later revealed that an unsupervised &lt;st2:sn st="on"&gt;Berger&lt;/st2:sn&gt; had been given access to classified files of original, uncopied, uninventoried documents on terrorism. Several Archives officials acknowledged that &lt;st2:sn st="on"&gt;Berger&lt;/st2:sn&gt; could have stolen any number of items and they “would never know what, if any, original documents were missing.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;At his sentencing in September 2005, &lt;st2:sn st="on"&gt;Berger&lt;/st2:sn&gt; was fined $50,000, placed on probation for two years and stripped of his security clearance for three years. What a joke of justice this was! This just shows how the &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st2:sn st="on"&gt;Clintons&lt;/st2:sn&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; work above the law. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7356730061915673962-5846466556841881406?l=thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com/feeds/5846466556841881406/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7356730061915673962&amp;postID=5846466556841881406&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7356730061915673962/posts/default/5846466556841881406'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7356730061915673962/posts/default/5846466556841881406'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com/2007/10/sandy-burglar-back-in-sadle-again-with.html' title='Sandy Burglar back in the sadle again with the Clintons!'/><author><name>We The People</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09874541607641106894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PbHUXIosAQg/Rwpu5PUzcpI/AAAAAAAAAAk/HVJaj_M1byA/s72-c/2_61_berger_samuel.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356730061915673962.post-7647178026644810418</id><published>2007-10-07T04:16:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-12-13T07:45:26.933-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Atlantic City Mayor (D) Robert Levy  Under federal investigation</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PbHUXIosAQg/RwiXD_UzcmI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Zva1ljO1vvE/s1600-h/aaaaaa.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PbHUXIosAQg/RwiXD_UzcmI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Zva1ljO1vvE/s320/aaaaaa.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5118507071300661858" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;p&gt;BREAKING NEWS - Democrat in scandal; party affiliation not mentioned in news accounts.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;When Republicans are in scandal (like &lt;st2:personname st="on"&gt;Sen. &lt;st1:sn st="on"&gt;Craig&lt;/st1:sn&gt;&lt;/st2:personname&gt;), their party affiliation is prominently mentioned in the first paragraph.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The Democrat mayor of &lt;st2:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st2:place st="on"&gt;Atlantic City&lt;/st2:place&gt;&lt;/st2:city&gt; has... disappeared.

(Oct. 6) -- Under federal investigation for embellishing his Army service in Vietnam, a groggy-sounding Mayor Robert Levy called in sick at City Hall, climbed into his city-issued Dodge Durango and seemingly dropped off the face of the Earth.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;!--[if gte vml 1]&gt;&lt;v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600" spt="75" preferrelative="t" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f"&gt;  &lt;v:stroke joinstyle="miter"&gt;  &lt;v:formulas&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"&gt;  &lt;/v:formulas&gt;  &lt;v:path extrusionok="f" gradientshapeok="t" connecttype="rect"&gt;  &lt;o:lock ext="edit" aspectratio="t"&gt; &lt;/v:shapetype&gt;&lt;v:shape id="Picture_x0020_1" spid="_x0000_i1025" type="#_x0000_t75" style="'width:301.5pt;height:201pt;visibility:visible;mso-wrap-style:square'"&gt;  &lt;v:imagedata src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\BLACKB~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_image001.png" title=""&gt; &lt;/v:shape&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;!--[if !vml]--&gt;&lt;img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/BLACKB%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image002.jpg" shapes="Picture_x0020_1" height="268" width="402" /&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;A spokesman issued a 36-word statement saying the mayor was going on indefinite medical leave. That was a week and a half ago. Aides say he is in a hospital, but they won't say where, why or for how long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mystery and the gathering scandal over Levy 's military record have worried civic leaders in this seaside casino resort, which has a long history of corruption, with four of the last eight mayors busted on graft charges and one-third of last year's nine-member City Council in prison or under house arrest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It's a national embarrassment," said City Councilman Bruce Ward, who asked a judge Friday to declare the mayor's seat officially vacant and clear the way for the council to name a replacement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We have entertainment companies that are considering investing billions of dollars in &lt;st2:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st2:place st="on"&gt;Atlantic City&lt;/st2:place&gt;&lt;/st2:city&gt;. They need to know there is stability in &lt;st2:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st2:place st="on"&gt;Atlantic   City&lt;/st2:place&gt;&lt;/st2:city&gt;. And we have 40,000 residents here who need to be protected."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last fall, The Press of Atlantic City investigated Levy 's accounts of his wartime service and used military records to verify that Levy was a 20-year Army veteran with two Bronze Stars and two tours of duty in &lt;st2:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st2:place st="on"&gt;Vietnam&lt;/st2:place&gt;&lt;/st2:country-region&gt;. But the newspaper found he was not a member of the storied Green Berets, as he had claimed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shortly afterward, Levy , former head of &lt;st2:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st2:place st="on"&gt;Atlantic   City&lt;/st2:place&gt;&lt;/st2:city&gt;'s lifeguards, admitted misrepresenting his record.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'm sorry for having this happen at all," Levy told The Associated Press in November. "It's something I should have corrected 40 years ago. It is what it is, and I apologize for the embarrassment I've created for myself and my family."&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;But now, federal authorities are looking into whether the 64-year-old Levy made the false claims with the intention of bumping up his veteran's benefit payments, an official with knowledge of the investigation said Thursday, speaking on condition of anonymity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Specifically, investigators want to know whether Levy was properly awarded a Combat Infantryman's Badge that was used to obtain about $25,000 (euro17,685) more in military benefits than he otherwise would have been entitled to, the official said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Levy spokesman &lt;st1:givenname st="on"&gt;Nicholas&lt;/st1:givenname&gt; &lt;st1:sn st="on"&gt;Morici&lt;/st1:sn&gt; and the mayor's attorney, &lt;st2:personname st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:givenname st="on"&gt;Edwin&lt;/st1:givenname&gt;  &lt;st1:sn st="on"&gt;Jacobs&lt;/st1:sn&gt;&lt;/st2:personname&gt;, did not return messages over the past few days. Aides will not say anything about the mayor's condition, citing medical privacy laws. But close aide &lt;st2:personname st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:givenname st="on"&gt;Domenic&lt;/st1:givenname&gt; &lt;st1:sn st="on"&gt;Cappella&lt;/st1:sn&gt;&lt;/st2:personname&gt; said Levy will remain on sick leave for the next few weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About two dozen demonstrators gathered outside City Hall on Friday afternoon to protest the stalemate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even before word of his embellishments became known, Levy was frequently absent from City Hall. Levy , who took office more than a year and a half ago and makes about $100,000 a year, took a leave several months ago because of what he said were back problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before his disappearance, political opponents had begun gathering signatures to force a recall election, in part because of his sporadic attendance, along with his political affiliation with disgraced former City Council president &lt;st2:personname st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:givenname st="on"&gt;Craig&lt;/st1:givenname&gt; &lt;st1:sn st="on"&gt;Callaway&lt;/st1:sn&gt;&lt;/st2:personname&gt;, who is serving a nearly 3 1/2-year federal prison term for bribery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for other &lt;st2:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st2:place st="on"&gt;Atlantic City&lt;/st2:place&gt;&lt;/st2:city&gt; politicians, one councilman is under indictment on charges of helping to set up another councilman who was lured to a motel room and filmed having sex with a prostitute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still another councilman is facing charges he drunkenly drove his city-owned car across the Boardwalk and onto the beach in the wee hours.

So now the Democratic Congress supports these left wing groups just read this email from Sent. Harry Reid below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thursday, October 4, 2007 4:35 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has sent out a mass e-mail Thursday  asking recipients to demand that Clear Channel CEO Mark Mays order talk  show host Rush Limbaugh to apologize for his remarks about “phony  soldiers.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As he did earlier this week on the Senate floor, Reid said Limbaugh’s  “phony soldiers” were men and women in uniform who oppose the war in Iraq.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When is the Democrat Liberals going to be accountable for there lies!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is Reid’s e-mail, sent out under the banner of the Democratic  Senatorial Campaign Committee:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I normally ignore Rush Limbaugh, but his comments last Wednesday went  too far for me to remain silent. It's one thing to call me "Dingy Harry"  - it's another to insult our men and women in uniform, calling those who  oppose the war "phony soldiers" as Rush did during his Sept. 26 broadcast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, Rush continued his tirade Monday by denying he had said  anything wrong and attacking John Murtha, who served 37 years in the  Marines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week, 41 Democrats signed a letter to Clear Channel CEO Mark Mays,  demanding that Rush apologize.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can send your own letter to Mays by clicking here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In December 2006, a poll run by the Military Times found that only 35  percent of service members approved of President Bush's handling of the  war in Iraq. Would Rush consider every other Soldier, Sailor, Airman and  Marine to be phony? What about General John Batiste who retired from  active duty in order to speak out against this war?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rush has the courage to sit behind a microphone and lash out at those  who oppose George Bush's misadventure in Iraq - yet when it was his time  to serve, he received a deferment and has never worn a uniform.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Limbaugh's show is broadcast on Armed Forces Radio, and therefore  service members around the world heard his insults. It's time for Clear  Channel to make Rush apologize.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Demand that Clear Channel CEO Mark Mays take action by clicking here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rush certainly has the right to say whatever he wants - but we have an  obligation to speak out when he goes too far.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harry Reid&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seems that since Harry Reid has nothing better to do with his time in congress then to write emails to support a left wing group. Is this the kind of Leaders we need in are congress today. I think not i ask that Harry Reid be removed from congress because of his personal views are getting in the way of real problems not being addressed in the democratic congress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank You&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mike&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7356730061915673962-5451854181250932153?l=thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com/feeds/5451854181250932153/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7356730061915673962&amp;postID=5451854181250932153&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7356730061915673962/posts/default/5451854181250932153'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7356730061915673962/posts/default/5451854181250932153'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepeoplespeakoutblog.blogspot.com/2007/10/sent-harry-ried-do-some-real-work.html' title='Sent.
