The Importance of President Obama's Birth Certificate

Author: Jeffrey R. Camino

There is a great deal of controversy over whether President Obama has the credentials, per the U.S. Constitution, to hold the office of The President of the United States.  On April 27, 2011 (about halfway into his presidency) President Obama produced a Certificate of Live Birth that allegedly validates he was born in Hawaii.  Let's examine this very important issue further...

 

PEOPLE THAT SAY IT IS NOT IMPORTANT

Before I continue, I want to address people that say this is not an important issue, that it just distracts from more important issues, etc.

First, saying that it's a non-issue is demonstrating a complete ignorance about the intent of why that requirement was put into the United States Constitution in the first place.  Keep in mind, we're not talking about some random company policy, we are discussing the highest law in the land: the Constitution of the United States!  Further below I'll discuss why the forefathers included the requirements for the Office of the President, but suffice it to say if we start pushing aside the Constitution, then we are on a very slippery slope indeed.

Many people are claiming that this issue is diverting valuable time away from more important issues, and the President himself said this was becoming a "sideshow".  Frankly, that statement is ludicrous for three main reasons:

1. The only reason there is any attention on this issue at this point in time in the first place is because the President chose not to release the document a long time ago.  He spent over 2 million dollars in legal fees to avoid doing so.  Consequently, much more time, effort, and money has been put into not releasing the document than simply doing so.  That actually should cause any reasonable person to question why it was not released a long time ago.

2. It should not  take up that much time to ask a staff member (or Michelle) to get the document, have it scanned, then hold a 5 minute press conference about it!

3. If President Obama can spend hours on the golf course, basketball court, and fill out a "March Madness" basketball bracket on TV; then surely he can take a few minutes to address the American people and the constitutional requirements of the office he holds.  Saying this is diverting valuable time and that it's the "birthers" to blame is a lame argument by people that either do not see a much bigger issue at hand, or just want to bury their heads in the sand because they also sense there could be more to this than they want to admit.

 

 

AUTHENTICITY OF THE RECENTLY RELEASED DOCUMENT

Substantial questions remain about the authenticity of the birth certificate.  However, anyone that brings this up is immediately labeled as a "birther" that will never be satisfied.  I wonder what similar strategies were used when anyone objected to Hitler's tactics and policies?  Will the American people also let the facts of the matter be squashed because bringing up the issue results in persecution and ridicule?  I fear, for the most part, the answer to that is that most people will.

Though mostly ignored for the aforementioned reasons, experts are presenting compelling evidence suggesting the document is a forgery.  THIS LINK presents some videos that question the authenticity of the document.

In addition to the technical issues, other people point out that President Obama's father is listed to be from "Kenya, East Africa", yet Kenya was not an independent country until 1963 — 2 years after the date of the birth certificate.  Others point out his father's race is listed as "African", yet the term used in the early 60's, when the document was allegedly recorded, was actually "Negro".  They also claim that government agencies that tracked statistics had narrow guidelines of how to record that information so that statistics could be kept.

I am not an expert, so I don't know if perhaps Kenya would still have been a valid option to record on a birth certificate regardless of its official independence and whether or not his father could have been recorded as "African" since he actually was "African".  I would think other birth certificates could be examined and compared to see, though perhaps the odds of finding someone born in Hawaii with a father from Kenya, East Africa are very slim.

 

IS IT A MATTER OF RACE?

This is a good place to interject that this is not a matter of race!  If there were the same questions surrounding anyone — regardless of their color, race, gender, or religion — many people would want to know more.  In fact, though a much lesser issue in terms of the affairs of our nation, recall that President Clinton was under a lot of scrutiny for his affairs with Monica Lewinsky.  George W. Bush was sharply criticized for his behavior during his college years and President Nixon was forced to resign from office for engaging in unlawful behavior that had much less impact on his current presidency than does the issue about President Obama's birth certificate.

There is no doubt that Timothy McVeigh would get equal or more scrutiny if he were president and his policies and credentials were in question.  Indeed it's about a much more important matter: we are really exploring the beliefs, values, and political ideology held by the person holding the most powerful position in the United States and whether or not they are in line with the best interests of the United States!!!

Playing the "race card" about this issue is divisive and only diverts attention where it need not be.  The real attention should be about the Constitution of the United States, whether or not the person holding the highest office in the land is adhering to the law of the land, and the purpose that requirement for being President of the United States is there to begin with...

 

CONSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE PRESIDENT

The founding fathers of the United States did a fantastic job drawing up our Constitution.  It took them a long time to do so as they carefully thought out, debated, and finally agreed to all that its comprised of.  They carefully added many important things: like establishing the three branches of government, wherein a system of "checks and balances" was put into our governmental system; establishing what congress may and may not do; creating the courts and their function; and ensuring U.S. citizens enjoy freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and so on.

Article II of the Constitution establishes the Office of the President and requirements thereof.  Therein we have the law that someone must be a natural born citizen, age 35, have lived in the U.S. for at least 14 years prior, and so on.

Why were those requirements included?  Were the founders just arbitrarily adding some meaningless law to the Constitution?  No, of course not!!!

So, then, what were they thinking?  It's quite clear if you logically think about it: they were recognizing that it would be in the best interest of the U.S. if they could reasonably ensure that the person holding the highest office in the land was absolutely loyal to the U.S.; thus, all of the beliefs, values, political ideology and consequent decisions that person made always had the best interest of the U.S. in mind.  Now whether or not the policies were always right, at least it could be reasonably assured the right intentions were there.

tmp.jpg

That is why it is an important issue.  If the President of the United States has had substantial influence from another nation's ideas or from a religion that is hateful and opposed to the religion that most of the citizens of the U.S. hold, then it is very important to know that.  In essence, it protects us from "enemies, both foreign and domestic", as it helps us avoid having someone that is really a "spy" of sorts making policy not in the best interest of the U.S.  During the campaign President Obama repeatedly said there would be "change", though the question that was not asked is, "Exactly what kind of change?"

 

WHERE HAS THE PRESS BEEN?

What makes that issue difficult to deal with is that the press is readily accepting the document, though we have to seriously question if the press is doing its job!!!  Why this issue was not investigated while President Obama was running for office rather than actually holding the office is astounding.  Where was the press when there was substantial ambiguity about the man running for President of the United States?

The question should be asked, "Why only now release this document that has been asked for time and time again?"  The mainstream press is not asking that very important question!!!  Was it not provided to make some point that we have no right to know or that it should not be a constitutional requirement?  I can't see either of those reasons settling well with most people.  It was either a blatant act of defiance, or there is another reason.  Frankly, I can not think of any good reason nor have I seen one proposed!

Another important consideration about this matter is this: why isn't the press wanting to know about the college papers President Obama wrote?  While not the "all knowing, all telling" indication of one's beliefs, values, and political ideology, I would think they could weigh into the matter at least some.  Put another way, why is President Obama hiding that information?  In fact, it's still ambiguous to me where President Obama went to school, what he was taught, who his friends are/were, what his friends and teachers have to say about him, etc.

Many employers require that one's work history be valid and ask for official college transcripts conditional to employment, and that is a very reasonable request.  Frankly, the "employers" (the American people via the press) did not do their due diligence concerning Barack Obama.  We really know very little about him.  He was ushered in on a popularity contest where speeches and other factors played a larger role than the substance behind the man.

Had the issue of the birth certificate and such been discussed prior to the presidential election, the American people could have, at that time, made the decision at the polls of whether or not it was an issue.  (Though arguably the founding fathers intended for it be a law, not something we vote on based on "popularity".)  We'll never know how it may have played out, because the press did not do its job and, therefore, the issue is still being dealt with now, after the election. 

As for correcting the problem, to do so would require that the press essentially report on itself about how poor of a job it did, which is not likely to happen.  Also, many people in the mainstream media likely voted for President Obama, therefore they have further motives to ignore this issue.  Except for web sites like this, the issue will not likely get any attention.  If you dare to share this blog, then perhaps you can help.

Consequently, there is still a cloud of doubt about whether or not President Obama is actually legally holding the office of President of the United States.  Now, some people are quick (too quick) to say that it should be a non-issue and that anyone discussing the matter is doing so foolishly.  They mention that our economy is in trouble, we have conflicts going on around the world, and that there are otherwise many other issues to be addressed.  It's for exactly those reasons that this is an important issue!  As noted before, the founding fathers of the United States thought it was quite important!

 

WHY DID IT TAKE THIS LONG TO RELEASE THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?

Had the document been released a long time ago, questions of whether or not it is legitimate would have long been dismissed or dealt with; but that is far from the case.  I won't rehash some of the points that reasonably question its legitimacy, but I think the main point is worth asking: what, then, was the motivation behind hiding this document for so long?  Why hide a document substantiating ones legal eligibility to be in office (and pay so much money to do so) only to eventually produce it?

Moreover, all too readily accepting a document that was produced years later and still has a lot of questions about its authenticity is foolish at best, and hints of not wanting to address the deeper issue at hand: who is the man holding the highest office in the nation, what are his values, what is his political ideology, and therefore what is his agenda?

Time will tell how this all plays out, though I'm not sure if it will ever be settled.  Should the Lord tarry, it could go down as one of the most unsolved conspiracy theories ever.  Who shot Kennedy, what happened at Roswell, did President Obama ever legally hold the office of President of the United States... ?

Now you may be asking, "What does this have to do with Bible prophecy?"  It could actually have a lot to do with that, as discussed in a previous article entitled, "Where Is President Obama Leading Us?".

Who's Running for President?

Author: Erin Kent Magee

On April 5th, 2011, I filed my Statement of Candidacy with the Federal Election Commission as the first Republican Presidential Candidate from the State of Florida.

Thereafter, I contacted editors of local and national media, announcing my Candidacy.  There were no acknowledgements.

I then opened a Facebook account.  I made my announcement and began making posts through the GOP portal.

Friends were surprised, and one even asked:  "When are you planning to go public?"

When all we hear in the media is how 'so and so' declared his or her candidacy, 'so and so' is as yet undeclared, and 'so and so' is ahead of 'so and so' in the polls, what are voters to think?  Naturally, they'll assume there are no other candidates.

What they don't know is:  The presumed lead of these candidates is based on paid advertising.  Through paid political announcements, these candidates manipulate the masses and give the impression that they are the 'major' candidates, if not the 'only candidates'.

How do the others contend with this media onlslaught?

I tried posting on Wikipedia under heading such as: Republican Presidential Candidates, 2012.  My posts were deleted with the comment:  "Please don't post information on an unnotable candidate on the same page with notable candidates".

Wikipedia then proceeded to allow a post from another Candidate; a wrestler from the state of Florida who claims to be a vampire. 

I suddenly felt invisible.  I remembered what Lilian Carter said when her son announced he was running for President:  "President of what?", she inquired.

Soon, history would repeat itself.  Though my own mother is no longer with us, when I told a friend -- a woman who is old enough to be my mother -- I am running for President, she, too, replied by asking: "President of what?"

How can voters learn who the candidates are?  Other than the 'social media', such as Facebook and Twitter, there are two major sources.

First, voters can visit the website of the Federal Election Commission.  There they will find a list of the candidates, those who have a media presence and those who do not.  Through this site, they can determine who is running for President (or any other federal office).

Secondly, there is Project Votesmart, whose web address is:  http://www.votesmart.org

Among Votesmart's founding members are:  Former President Jimmy Carter, Former President Gerald Ford and George McGovern, a former U.S. Senator.

The Votesmart site not only offers a full listing of Presidential Candidates, which is broken down by state, but offers candidates a chance to post their positions on major issues.

Positions are posted through what is known as the "Political Courage Test". The test is designed to measure the candidate's response to one central question:

"Are you willing to tell citizens where you stand on the issues you may face if elected?"

Though our nation's founders felt such information was essential in our struggle to govern ourselves, many candidates are now heeding the advice of their party leaders not to provide such information.

The Political Courage Test offered by Project Votesmart is not only an opportunity for candidates to be recognized for their political courage, but an opportunity for voters to know who the candidates are and what they stand for before they cast their votes.

President Obama, Massachusetts Election a Beacon of hope for your easily Achievable success and objectives

Author: Anthony Tharpe

 

President Obama work for the people as you have pledged. Don’t let your agenda be driven by special interest for special interest groups. The results of a vote taken in one state does not represent the sentiments of the entire nation. Others in your administration and across the opposing isle have already accepted defeat and find an execuse in this election result not to progress and therefore have overtly as well as possibly covertly pledged a lack of action. Further are you to lead the rest of the country based on what a very small number of votes have decided may be best for them and their state? That concept is certainly not what democracy is all about. Health care reform must be continued and pushed even faster as the threat is evident from detractors that they will kill the bill in favor of political mileage.

 

Mr. President, it didn’t take a genus to see this coming. I don’t know why you insist on being guided my misnomers pushed by your advisors who are obviously not in touch with the sentiments of the majority of the people who elected you to make dramatic change to a system which simply does no longer represent the aspirations for success and empowerment demanded by an intellectually developed nation. The People and citizens of this country are not interested in political games, they want to see results which favor their empowerment and subsequently improve their quality of life. The prognosis from those of us who don’t get paid to give an opinion is that you are headed for continual defeat simply because you are losing perspective of what you promised and have not delivered. This is something you can easily correct or fix! Act with stealth in implementing real change.

 

 When the nation sees a reneging on the pledges you have made on very simply doable items and subjects matter Mr. President; inaction which affect the rights and welfare of the people; uncalled for delays and decision arcane in making and destructive in terms of national unity; when simple decisions doable by merely the will of the President does not get done in a more than timely manner, it bears serious political consequence. There are absolutely no intellectually civilized reasons for your lack of action on simple matters which deserve no debate. The electorate gave you a mandate Mr. President., carry it through in a more timely manner and you will be rewarded. Continue along the path of deliberate delays and giving uncontrolled power to disruptive elected officials in your own party, who simply abuse the people’s demands in pursuit of their own selfish, self-centered agenda, which is in effect self-serving, will result in severe punishment for you and your party, especially for a president who knows he is being judged by a much higher standards.

 

Mr. President, people don’t believe there is any logic in putting off the necessary and needed decision; followed by effective actions, which would establish an administration, committed to integrity, transparancy and truth. No longer are people willing to accept waiting decades for things that can be implemented immediately, again and especially in light that the delays will cause catastrophic hurt and pain for the majority of Americans while serving to benefit the greedy minority interest. You Mr. President, must NOW begin to ask yourself a very simply question; Why am I functioning in “Snail mail mode”, when your electorate is operating on the internet in real time and attitude?

 

  • Why have I allowed the continued lack of transparancy in military and other affairs of the nation, claiming its serves no real purpose to do so. Denying the very rights guaranteed to all in the USA by the very constitution which allowed me to be in office? Your administration has continually blocked the release of information which makes no logical sense to block. Except of course Mr. President; and I truly don’t believe so, if you are amongst those who would like to hide their actions until they are long dead and gone and out of reach of justice. More damaging Mr. President, is that you are actively involved in blocking the ruling of the courts, which has ruled that the information must be released in accordance to Federal laws. If your actions to block the release of information is founded in thinking, “well it will fuel increased actions of terrorist”, Mr. President, you awe-to also have been advised that the terrorists already have the information and are blowing it out of proportion, using it and your administrations’ cover up to further their agenda. Releasing information to intellectually able people can only allow them the tools to become more understanding of the problems of the work you need to do effectively justifying necessary actions, needed and taken.  It’s not doing you or this nation any favors or good; only fueling distrust of our government. By the practice of the many overt cover-ups like the now policy; a carry over from the previous administration, you serve only to alienate yourself from the trust of the people whom have vested as well as invested their trust in your pledged promises.  This is a policy inherited but One which you have now made your own. And one which is bound to haunt you in any future elections. Its simply foolish to be frank Mr. President to be even associated with any of the aforementioned concerns of the people. You need to rethink these actions which simply make no intelligible sense. If the terrorist already know and have the information from first hand experiences with what went on in the back offices of the interrogators, then really, who are you denying an understanding of the problem? Certainly not them!
  • Why have I not signed off on simple promises to eliminate the “Don’t ask don’t tell” in the military, when in fact it’s not about just the military? It’s about the larger society which views a lack of doable action as indecision without any logical reason or foundation to justify the delays. There is none Mr. President. And if the advise you are getting is to do it later so it will help in your reelection bid, well Mr. President bad advise. People don’t like to be played or used. People don’t forget either. You are receiving and therefore relying on bad advice. Why are you delaying the inevitable Mr. President? I am assuming merely to satisfy a few who continue to think violating the constitutional rights of the people can be delayed simply because they feel it should? Or when its convenient to reelection bids. If simple changes like the aforementioned remind shelved for convenience, there will be no reelection of Barack Obama. This end result will satisfy quite a lot of the people who continue to do all they can to ensure a failed presidency. You Mr. President will become another David Dinkins if you continue along this path. Whether you like it or not President Obama, your failure will have consequential effect for future “so called”, minority presidents! Do as much as you can now and let reelection worry about itself Mr. President. The longer you take to show leadership and strength in getting things done, giving the world the feeling that you are not event in charge of your own party, the lower your chances for a second term. Ride the wave of successful stealthy effected changes made by your administration into the reelection, not the other way around President Obama. Tomorrow is promised no one Mr. President; live and govern today, as though this is your last day to make the United States the very best country in the universe. And I did specify Universe with deliberate intent.
  • Why am I taking the path of the people who practiced JIM CROW, putting off what is simply the right thing to do, for years at a time before becoming OF value to the people; e.g. of past actions which equate to the actions you are now taking or rather not talking; the delaying of the rights of blacks as was done in the past, to cast their vote after emancipation. Claiming the population was not ready, law makes deliberately delayed their and these very rights guaranteed under the constitution. Those consequential actions of delaying what the people would have accepted regardless if made into law, equates to delaying the benefits of healthcare reform until 2015 and beyond; or equal to the deliberate delayed action you have chosen to take as it relates to the housing sector crises now being faced and to be faced by millions of American homeowners; or the delayed actions on issues, which again you know will be and must be done to satisfy the civil rights of the Gay community. The arrogance and ignorance of the statuesque and people in power of past eras, which kept people in less than equitably humane sociopolitical existence, practices now rejected by the majority in this country as well as Countries globally, things we have now accepted as being critical to living in a civilized society if and when lacking, are not quit gone, but your actions, taken swiftly, will help to kill once and for all. The aforementioned represents very much  the same way, you, your advisors and your elected party officials; including those from both the Senate and the House of Representatives, are now claiming and taking under the guise that the nation is not capable of or ready to handle certain information and or changes if and when done quickly. As stated before Mr. President, things may not be perfect, but we; the majority, certainly don’t think that way again, or believe we should postpone what is good, decent and necessary for maintaining this civil society. Americans have very short tolerance for unnecessary academic debate and delays, in light of needed and necessary demands.
  • Why have I not given the people what they want in the Health bill? There is more than enough evidence to give you the data about our demands. Don’t ever forget that you are representing the demands of a democratic nation, where the majority decision rules. Or so it should. You cannot preach democracy and then allow your advisors to guide you towards a practice of dictatorship Mr. President. Your advisors are leading you along a path of constitutional challenges in volition of the rights of the people, and frankly simply put Mr. President, doing the right thing in a timely manner is constitutionally the correct thing to do! The people wanted the public option and not a commitment from your administration to increase insurance companies profits by penalizing people for their freedom of choice. Forcing anyone to buy any product is a vagrant breach of constitutional laws. This is something you know and it should not be put in any bill more so a healthcare policy, thus causing needed  but necessary legal challenges; if included, to protect the people you are working to help from the very program you are working to implement; healthcare reform. Healthcare reform should be in active service of the people not seated in legal battles. The healthcare reform has been too long in debate by unconscionable politicians who seem energetically too objective to care about the human suffering, to finally pass a bill only to have it locked in lengthy legal litigation.
  • Why was my team caught sleeping at the wheel? evidenced by the results of the Massachusetts elections results? When you find that answers Mr. President you will also find why you are constantly getting bad advice. Your team is out of touch, lack the fighting skills and will continue to think keeping silent on the issues will bring truth. The more the word is spoken the more believable it becomes especially when there are no challenges. Your opposition knows and has proven this fact. If the attitude of your team is that; the people will come when President Obama speaks, then your team simply needs to take a refresher course in understanding the nature of man. “We want, what we want, when we want it”. That's never going to change in the demand for the changes you were elected to effect. This is something you must do President Obama, there are no options if you expect to have the support of not just Americans here at home but throughout the world. Implement reform and change, you don’t need to wait!
  • Why do I insist on following a path of trying to sit and delay progress for the entire nation simply because of some misguided advise that  giving unwanted inclusion in the decision making process by and with those Politian’s defeated at the poles; those rejected by the electorate, the opportunity to ruin success? Who will be held accountable Mr. President for the continued rejection of your hand to be bipartisan? You may not know this Mr. President but, when you do this unnecessary outreach, some people may say you are trying to be bipartisan, others; the majority, are going to say you just don’t know when to and when not to. The reality for the majority of people IN THIS COUNTRY is that you are leading a weak majority; repeat VERY WEAK Majority, who and which are just plain afraid to make big decisions. They cannot make decision on their own for fear of what the other side may say or do or preach.  Mr. President the very essence of a democracy is that the team that gets defeated and becomes the minority, becomes merely a watch dogs in the process. Not the participants in obstructive actions defeating progress merely to score political points. In short Mr. President, it also makes you seem to be a weak administrator, even when we know you are not. Perception however becomes reality in the real world. That is not a good place to be for any leader of industry or government, much more so the President of the greatest economy on the planet. In a democracy, the majority rule, not the other way around. Mr. President you must know what that means! Stop empowering these people who believe the demise of the very people they represent is noble political warfare, merely to defeat your agenda and any of the promises you have made. But then again Mr. President, this is something you have been told time and time again by the very majority that elected you to office. The poles have said it clearly. Use your office and the elected majority which you have to find strategy to implement the programs you sold to the American electorate as well as the world using a majority vote. This bipartisan foolhardiness will not be seen or taken as a satisfying excuse for your failure. The former administration made policy and implement their programs using what tools  given to them under the constitution. There was no reaching across the isle. There was no excuse that we don’t have the support of the opposition. They implemented their policies and that is what you must do. So why are you listing to advisors who are constantly telling you, you need to have the support of the minority party to effect good policy? Your supporters keep asking the same questions Mr. President. The people you are giving power to disrupt the changes the American people voted for, are in the minority, and you are not. You have been placed in the highest office in the land because the people gave you the power to effect change. They wanted you there for that reason and that reason only. Good programs and good policy will not be defeated whether passed by a majority of 51 vote or sixty. There are no valid excuses for the many months of delays involving the Democrats using all sort of anachronistic operational policy to demean the progress needed to save this nation a world of future pain from civil unrest if specific needs are not met in a timely manner. DO you think the American people would sit idly by and allow the Republicans to change a new healthcare plan that provides them with options, and lowers cost even if passed by 51 votes? I don’t think so Mr. President. The very most they can do when in the driving seat is to try to improve on it so they can claim some credit. So this excuse of waiting is self-imposed delays, which is merely an unjustifiable excuse. An excuse is just that; an excuse! What makes it really bad for you Mr. President is that these excuses are coming from the Democrats when it comes to passing this reform. The Republicans cannot pass a bill. So why are we even having this conversation Mr. President.

 

The defeat in Massachusetts  is a massage that THE PEOPLE ARE DEMANDING THE CHANGES YOU PROMISED, and that your are no longer willing to wait on polite articulate excuses from other democrats, some who have sold their souls to leading industry. Modern America and the World are way past that kind of thinking Mr. President. Thinking which is continually shoved down the throats of the citizens of this country, choking intelligent people with a dead  unacceptable strategy, that they don’t know what they want, or that they are not intellectually ready for change that benefits them and the majority of people. That foolish argument was defeated at the poles with your election to office President Obama. Mr. President, the biggest irony is that you and your presidency; who and which respectively, are  products and beneficiary of the demanded change guaranteed under the constitution, when made by the people in a democratic election, by your action or inaction are now the vanguard of its defeat. By also allowing the same  inaction on the part of elected representatives of the people, who claim they are acting in the best interest of the people by not acting  or voting in the very people’s best interest is definite sign of failure. Party politics at the expense of the people and reelection ambitions of selfish politicians seem to be the prime objective of quiet a few politicians in the US government. To be elected is more important than taking  necessary actions even when it means preventing the hurting of the very people of the United States whom they expect to vote them in office. Listen to the people Mr. President, get rid of advisors and party stalwarts, whom have been a part of the establishment and loving every minute of the games of the statuesque. Old dogs can’t be taught new tricks; why? because they simply refuse to learn.

 

  • Why have I tolerated the delays of needed actions to help homeowners, the very people whose tax dollars were used to bail out Wall Street? Theses are the issues Mr. President. And why have my administration simply ignored plans submitted to my offices that will serve to solve the housing crisis and create millions of jobs, even when the programs were submitted month ago? Mr. President if you dont have the information you need to find why is it that your team has kept it from you. Creating Jobs; providing a permanent solution which will not cost the federal government a hemorrhage in revenue and providing small businesses with capital not at the expense of the tax payers, must be at the top of the agenda in tandem with healthcare reform. Not pushed to the side. Again plans for these beneficial programs are probably buried in the many submissions you have received.
  •  Why am I focused on a second term instead of putting all my plans into effect during my first? And WHY Mr. President are you taking advise to secure a second term, by delaying the passage into law of things promised and demanded by the American population to a more advantageous time, if that’s the case? These are changes not just demanded by the people and evidences in the  poles and surveys but constitutionally to what they are entitled.

 

In closing Mr. President; you need to take charge; fire a few of the old guards not necessarily by chronological order of age, but evidenced in habit, attitudes and practice. The American people are not willing to tolerate the old way of doing business. Their impatience is justifiable. This is not the 14th Century. Information, exposure to national, international and global politics is easily available. We no longer live in the Dark Ages guided by blind loyalty and trust in corruptible political leadership and administrations and what they say. We now have the capability to research, see, verify and judge for ourselves. Your Platform Mr. President was to effect change consistent with bringing a more equitable society in which every American resident and citizen will have the ability to grow to their fullest potential, all this being done in a global environment of understanding and improved relationship with the rest of the world. You are being held and judge by a higher standard Mr. President since you committed your integrity to effecting the needed changes. We are people who want to live in that improved world of change and not hope it will only be for our future generations. Sharing it with them; our future generations, seems a much more welcoming prospect. It’s doable President Obama, forget the second term, make it happen now. Ride the wave of success into your second.

Why Barack Obama is the Worst President

Author: Tom

It's not hard to choose our worst president, for me it's Barack Obama no question. There have been others who were in contention but no one quite measured up like Obama. My first president was Herbert Hoover he took office in 1929 the same year the stock market crashed and the great depression began. I don't recall President Hoover blaming it on Calvin Coolidge. I wasn't born until 1931 but I grew up hearing how the depression was all Hoovers fault, this sounds like Obama right? Franklin Roosevelt took office in 1933 he came in much like Obama did he was going to remake America into a utopia overnight. It took 9 years and a war for President Roosevelt to finally declare an end to the depression. Only two previous presidents were more self promotion than FDR, Andrew Jackson and Teddy Roosevelt. In my opinion that puts Roosevelt on the bad list but not quite the worst list. Over the years mediocrity seems to have been the mainstay of presidents with a few exceptions.

The war ended in victory for America and its allies. The allies were faced with the same problem they faced in 1918 at the end of World War One. Should they seek retribution from the countries they fought or should the Allies help rebuild them. President Harry Truman stepped up to the plate and offered Americas help in putting Europe and Japan back on their feet. As a president Truman is in the top three or four.

Things went well until Jimmy Carter replaced Gerald Ford who replaced the self disposed Richard Nixon. The country was recovering from the Vietnam War and it was suffering from the embarrassment of the resignation of the first ever discredited president. Jimmy Carter was probably the most inept and stupid president this country has ever had, his blunders were nothing short of monumental. Carter turning his back on the Shah of Iran and the 52 hostages held by Iranian militants then allowing draft dodgers to return home from Canada without consequences was perhaps his most inhuman act. He kept American Olympic athletes from competing in the Moscow competition over a stupid human rights disagreement. Carter's biggest blunder that cost America billions of dollars was when he gave America's interest in the Panama Canal away instead of negotiating a new partnership with Panama to expand the canal to accommodate modern maritime traffic. Today China and Panama are in a partnership rebuilding the canal. All that future income is lost to the United States forever.

In my opinion Jimmy Carter should be stripped of his American citizenship deported and never allowed to return to this country. Jimmy Carter continues to be an embarrassment to this country.

The next president worthy of recognition was Ronald Reagan he was able to bring the country out of the doldrums Carter created. Within days of taking office the captive's from Iran were on their way home. Ronald Reagan let the world know there was a new sheriff in town. Within months the economic climate had reversed and America was once again on the move. The communist ideology around the world began to crumble, capitalism was making a comeback. The stupidity of political correctness practiced by the Carter administration was at least temporarily put on hold and Americans felt good about themselves again.

Bill Clinton was the first Democratic president elected in the years after Carter. Clinton was a pragmatist he knew without the support of congress he wasn't going to get much in the way of his progressive legislation accomplished. Clinton had another problem that dogged him throughout his eight year as president, his libido worked overtime. Charges of sexual misconduct districted energy from the Clinton presidency and kept him otherwise occupied.

George W. Bush our 43rd president was a far more effective leader than he is given credit for being. Bush was convinced he was dealing with honorable men / women in congress, something that would haunt his presidency for eight years. Congress found a scapegoat in Bush and used him to cover years of inept practices. Bush was fighting three wars at the same time the third being the lies being told by congress and the mainstream media. According to media reports they left the impression everyone of the laws passed during the Bush administration were by executive order and of course that wasn't the case. The laws were passed by congress then demonized and blamed on Bush. George Bush left the presidency knowing he had done his best, far better than his predecessor and far better than his successor would do. Bush left knowing for those who count the facts speak for themselves.
