President Obama on his Birth Certificate Debate

The President has stated the following on the release of his birth certificate, “ Now, normally I would not comment on something like this, because obviously there’s a lot of stuff swirling in the press on at any given day and I've got other things to do. But two weeks ago, when the Republican House had put forward a budget that will have huge consequences potentially to the country, and when I gave a speech about my budget and how I felt that we needed to invest in education and infrastructure and making sure that we had a strong safety net for our seniors even as we were closing the deficit, during that entire week the dominant news story wasn’t about these huge, monumental choices that we're going to have to make as a nation. It was about my birth certificate. And that was true on most of the news outlets that were represented here. And so I just want to make a larger point here. We've got some enormous challenges out there. There are a lot of folks out there who are still looking for work. Everybody is still suffering under high gas prices. We're going to have to make a series of very difficult decisions about how we invest in our future but also get a hold of our deficit and our debt -- how do we do that in a balanced way. And this is going to generate huge and serious debates, important debates. And there are going to be some fierce disagreements -- and that’s good. That’s how democracy is supposed to work. And I am confident that the American people and America’s political leaders can come together in a bipartisan way and solve these problems. We always have. But we’re not going to be able to do it if we are distracted. We’re not going to be able to do it if we spend time vilifying each other. We’re not going to be able to do it if we just make stuff up and pretend that facts are not facts. We’re not going to be able to solve our problems if we get distracted by sideshows and carnival barkers. We live in a serious time right now and we have the potential to deal with the issues that we confront in a way that will make our kids and our grandkids and our great grandkids proud. And I have every confidence that America in the 21st century is going to be able to come out on top just like we always have. But we’re going to have to get serious to do it. ”. In other words my poll numbers are in the toilet because the US voter is to thick and is listening to this crap, poor POTUS he really cant see the woods from the trees can he, he thinks his budget speech didn’t work because the speech didn’t have the right kind of attention. The problem with the speech was that it was dead on arrival on the Republican House. The American left as represented by POTUS thinks that if you just tax the rich more then all the debt will go away, Obama is AMERICAN but from odd place called the extreme American left. At the of the day to fund ObamaCare the working and middle class will have to be taxed, there are not that many rich folks. That’s the lie the American left gets, the taxing rich rubbish is a Trojan horse, once that does not work it will be taxing main street. Depending how the US voter reacts to the above this could be another mistake, the elite left will go with the birth certificate debate, thus make the jump that the rest of the arguments against Obama are wrong. But if you read the above it’s a typical left wing elite view of the voter, they are thick and they should listen to their betters from the Academic left, that being Obama.

President Obama’s Birth Certificate ( PDF)

The White House has released the full birth certificate of President Obama, Click here. I think the Oval has some other more serious issues to deal with, this kind of story used to come up in the August silly season in the UK, this UK political virus has moved to the US.

Was President Obama Born in the US? = YES

The Hill: Reports that the Obama White House has released the full birth certificate of President Obama. Why President Obama is even dealing with this issue is beyond VIEWS, either way it makes Donald Trump look good, it has forced POTUS to release his birth certificate, YES he was born in the US, but that is not the point, it makes Mr Trump look like a leader, a man who forced an arrogant President to deal with an issue that has no importance what so ever, this could fuel the poll ratings for Donald Trump. A silly issue that has been dealt with in a silly way, can we NOW get back to real issues.

Hubert "Hub" Schlafly = Mr Teleprompter

Guardian: Reports on the death of Hubert "Hub" Schlafly the inventor of the teleprompter. Have to admit didn’t know that Mr Schlafly had invented the teleprompter, and this blog should have known, its part of the image of the Presidency these days, you have the Hail to the Chief, the flags, the Presidential symbol on the stand and the teleprompter that allows any President to look good, but even President Obama who has a rather good line in rhetoric found himself repeating the same line twice due to the faulty operation of the prompter. It is that trusted folks, the modern politician in many respects places his/her political future in the prompter, if you not good interacting with the prompter your not for high office, you have to be good on the TV, and part of that deal is following the prompter. Our thoughts are with the Schlafly Family at this time.

Labour UPSET by Blair/Brown SNUB

Daily Mail: Reports Labour MPs are upset that former Leaders, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown have not been invited to the Royal Wedding: Poor Labour, so far no apology from Tony Blair for Iraq, a mild apology abroad from Gordon Brown for nearly bankrupting the Country as Chancellor and PM. I think the Royal Couple can invite who like to THEIR wedding, the Labour Party really don’t get the fact as to why the lost in 2010, if they think that they don’t have any responsibility for Iraq or the banking collapse then they are heading for defeat in 2015.

General Petraeus = Next CIA Chief

BBC News: Reports that the US Commander of NATO Forces in Afghanistan General David Petraeus will be the next head of the Central Intelligence Agency. The present head of the CIA Leon Panetta will take over from US Defence Secretary Robert Gates when he retires this year. One has to say this is smart move by POTUS, he keeps the well respected General Petraeus in national security system of the US government, there for advice over Afghanistan policy but also keeps the General from running against President Obama in 2012. As to Afghanistan Policy the US has a problem, the Obama line is that the US would start withdrawal this year, dependent on the security context in Afghanistan. Lets be clear folks, once you tell the enemy that you are leaving they can either wait you out, of course there is the risk from their side that NATO might have created a firm foundation for Kabul to run a secure Afghanistan, not holding my breath on that folks. On other hand the Taliban/Al Qaeda might want to claim victory for pushing out the Western forces, aka the Soviet Union. If the security in Afghanistan is not secure then the Taliban can move in once the West has left, the Taliban of Pakistan would have a secure base as to attack the Western supported Government of Pakistan. The problem is that Pakistan is a nuclear armed country. When one thinks of Afghanistan and Pakistan and the right policy, one thinks of Vietnam, no good options but lesser evil choices, its that bad folks.
