“Obama’s approval numbers are up.” “The unemployment rate is going down.” “Consumer confidence is up.” Blah blah blah.
Then there is “Obama leading (fill in the GOP nominee) by (pick a number it doesn’t matter.)” more blah blah blah. Barack Obama has two intractable problems: the rising gas prices and his major mistake in handling the contraceptive mandate to faith based institutions, particularly the Catholic Church.
Yes, Rush, it was a mistake. You Obama and his media may think he has some “super-secret decoder ring” plan for reelection, but that’s just talk. It will turn to ashes as we get closer to Election Day.
It’s just mid-February, and we have already seen national gas prices spike above $3.50 -the earliest in a calendar year this has happened since 1981. In the all-important State of Florida, gas is averaging $3.68 with many stations in South Florida where Obama’s base is supposed to be, a bit higher.
GM aka Government Motors’ sales dropped 6.1% in January, and 2011 was the worst year for new home sales in history – yes in history. Can we please see those rosy poll numbers for Obama again?
Those who are skeptical that these damagingly high gas prices will linger until November ought to take note of the reasons for these price rises. They are twofold and NEITHER one can be overcome by Comrade Obama’s dictatorial fiat.
Europe has clamped down on buying crude from Iran as a way too late reaction to her nuclear weapons program. Nothing Obama does will change that, and as a result, the Muslim Brotherhood (which now controls Egypt and much of the oil producing North African Muslim countries) will extort higher oil prices from the feckless Europeans who will look to us for cheaper gasoline.
Because of this for the first time EVER America is the LEADING EXPORTER of gasoline! This has happened because the Europeans know they can get it cheaper from us and neither they nor Obama care that it drives up prices here on Main Street.
Obama’s rejection of the Keystone pipeline will make this problem still worse.
A new Rasmussen poll shows “Catholics” disapprove of Obama’s job performance at a 59% rate. This number is deceptive. It makes no distinction between real Catholics who make up about 1/3 of the 70 million Catholics in America and the Catholics in name only (CINOs) who are 2/3 of the total. Nevertheless, if 59% overall disapprove of Obama the percentage of real Catholics who voted 54/44 for Republicans in 2010 probably swells to 70% resulting in more than enough votes to offset Obama’s minority support which is sagging as it is.
So give Obama his “edge” in February polls, the one that counts in November will send him packing.

Two things that will keep him from getting re elected are HIMSELF AND MICHELLE.
I needed that laugh, he’s a real tragedy.
Obama must be REMOVED immediately.
America must not wait for an election to remove Obama for he is setting PRECEDENT by not being eligible re/ the constitution. If the constitution means ANYTHING anymore, he must be REMOVED now! Otherwise, (Article 2 section 1 of the American Constitution) is null and void and ANYBODY from ANYWHERE can take the American presidency no matter their allegiance.
According to the Constitution, only Gingrich and Paul are eligible candidates.
You idea has already been attempted in Atlanta, Georgia, with that corrupt POS Judge Malihi at the helm. The problem with getting Obama out of office because he’s ineligible to be president, is like trying to rid yourself of cancer while not pursuing any avenues of a cure or treatment. Obama is like the Teflon Don. Nothing sticks to this punk.
We all know Obama is dirty and not qualified to be president, but, like Sheriff Joe Arpaio said “what if I do find out something about Obama, whose going to do anything about it?” This is the problem. If some how, some way, the citizens of this country could force Obama to physically appear in any court in the land, and he was forced to produce his documents (discovery), he would be exposed and there would be no doubts as to whether he was qualified or not. This is something Obama cannot and will not allow. The Trojan Horse would be exposed and he’d be done!
The House and Senate won’t touch eligibility because they’ll be called racists. That’s the magical code word that gets dragged out and flung about to intimidate any criticism of any kind, not just eligibility. Everyone is so scared of being labeled a racist. And if Obama were proved ineligible, there would probably be rioting, looting and burning from coast to coast. So everyone continues to tiptoe around and look aside.

IT AINT OVER IN GEORGIA !!!!!!!
Georgia Appeal Has Been Filed
(despite roadblocks)
The Georgia Superior Court tried to pull a fast one. They initially refused to file our Petition for Appeal. They claimed that our papers lacked two dollars for the two motions that were included along with our petition. We DID include the $213.50 filing fee for the petition, but they were going to sit on our documents and not file any of them, in part because of the missing $2.
The Superior Court’s clerk’s office made several other excuses as to why our petition couldn’t be filed. I won’t bore you with the details. Suffice to say they tried several excuses, none of which reflect normal operating procedures for any court I’ve heard of. Each time I explained why their reason didn’t make any sense under the law or court rules, they moved on to another excuse. After being transferred, placed on hold, hung up on, and argued with, they finally agreed to file the petition, but still refused to file the motions until they got their $2. In my experience as an attorney, including being temporarily admitted in 4 states outside Tennessee, and admitted to practice at every level of Federal and State courts, this is unheard of.
To top off our little story, the Georgia Superior Court didn’t contact our office to tell us that there was a problem with our filing. They just sat on our petition and emergency motion. Had we not called to verify that our petition was filed we would have missed tomorrow’s filing deadline. (This is why we call to verify filings.) The $2 was personally delivered today and the emergency motions are now filed.
One of those motions is an Emergency Motion for Stay and Preliminary Injunction prohibiting the Georgia Secretary of State from including candidate Barack Obama on the Georgia Presidential Primary ballot. Read the filing on our website. Quoting from the motion,
“should this Court incorrectly deny this motion it would confirm that the judicial branch is now unwilling to enforce the clearest and most basic requirements of the U.S. Constitution. Harm to Petitioner that would result from such incorrect refusal to grant this motion represents nothing less than the loss of our constitutional form of government for all Americans.”
Our 15 page Appeal, available on our website, argues that the decision of the OSAH court:
violated Rules of Constitutional Construction,
misapplied Minor v. Happersett,
ignored the clear definition and precedential status of Natural Born Citizen in Minor,
ignored the Minor Court’s discussion of other categories of citizens,
ignored the Minor Court holding that the 14th Amendment “Did Not Add to the Privileges and Immunities of a Citizen”,
applied dicta from Wong Kim Ark instead of precedent from Minor, and
relied upon the severely flawed Indiana state court ruling, Arkeny v. Governor.
The OSAH decision concludes that any person born within the United States, regardless of the citizenship or legal status of their parents, is a “natural born citizen” under Article II of the United States Constitution. This conclusion runs contrary to common sense, violates venerable rules of Constitutional Construction followed by the U.S. Supreme Court since its inception, and violates the explicit holding of the Supreme Court case relied upon.
Had the drafters of the Constitution intended all people born in the U.S. to be considered natural born citizens, the 14th Amendment would not have been necessary. Had the drafters of the 14th Amendment intended that Amendment to alter the Article II definition of natural born citizen, they would have clearly stated so. Yet the term “natural born citizen” is not found anywhere within the 14th Amendment. The Amendment also makes no reference to Article II. The OSAH ruling, therefore, violates rules of construction that the OSAH had itself relied upon just days earlier in the same litigation. Quoting Judge Malihi,
“When the Court construes a constitutional or statutory provision, the ‘first step…is to examine the plain statutory language.’ [T]his Court is not authorized either to read into or to read out that which would add to or change its meaning.”
The OSAH decision ignores a precedential holding from the U.S. Supreme Court in favor of dicta from a later Supreme Court case. This issue was presented at length to the OSAH at oral arguments and in written submissions, yet the OSAH chose to completely ignore this issue in its decision.
That the OSAH decision relies upon a non-binding opinion from an Indiana State Appellate Court to support its conclusion further illustrates their failure to follow venerable rules of construction and judicial restraint. In Arkeny v. Governor, the Indiana opinion relied upon was litigated by pro-se citizens of Indiana against the Governor of that state. The Indiana court reached its holding via an issue that did not require interpretation of the U.S. Constitution, yet that court then proceeded to construe the U.S. Constitution anyway. The Indiana court‟s decision to construe the U.S. Constitution without need to do so represents an overreaching Judiciary and violates a doctrine of judicial restraint established by the Supreme Court over 150 years ago. The OSAH’s reliance upon the Indiana court’s opinion, rather than follow a precedential holding of the U.S. Supreme Court, further demonstrates the OSAH’s errors of law.
So now our case is in the hands of the Georgia Superior Court. We will continue to pursue the vindication of our Constitution from this outrageous ruling. Thank you for standing with us and supporting Liberty Legal Foundation in this important effort.

Have you noticed how incredibly shy the repubs are in talking about obama? They are good at hammering each other but are just useless at opening up the extortion parts of the health care bill. My god, if only they would talk about the 1% transaction fee in obama’s budget bill. That’s 1% on every deposit and every swipe of our debit and credit cards. There is so much amp to use against obama but do they do it???? I think the entire system is rigged to destroy the middle class soon. Yes, you are correct obama and his gangster commies have to be removed.
Why isn’t Romney eligible ?? both his parents were American citizens at the time of his birth ,and he was born in America,is an American NBC, he is over 35 and has never given up his citizenship , so you need to post why hes not eligible or post you were wrong in your statement
The natural born of two American citizens would also cover Romney (his parents were Mexican) Jindal (India) Rubio, Cuban parents, etc.
As the States join in this will just get bigger until we force an arrest on him.
The man above is correct. I would also include Reid, Pelosi, Wasserman and a few others. And most important Maxine Waters. I guess we should have kep women in the home where they belong and I am a woman.
I just want to know if the unemployment numbers are better, and getting better by the minute, Then why are we passing bills to keep so many people on unemplyment for over a year and a half more. It should be ab about 26 weeks like it was years ago. and It was proven then and now, when people really want to work, just before their unemployment check runs out, they usually find jobs. Also if the economy is getting so much better, then why are more people than ever on the government’s dole.
gwedem5995, the unemployment rate isn’t getting any better. The WH and their Adminstration, have occluded the number of unemployed, who have given up on looking for employment, thereby lowering the denominater (all people looking for work). The numerater, people who are employed, has grown just a bit, especially in Jan. of 2012. And this makes for a roseier picture, w/ a falsely decreased % number of Unemployed, brought to us by deceitfully crafty math!!! What else can Obama and his minions do to paint a better picture, in order to get re-elected?
He wont win an honest election. He wont leave the office either. He is the boss and he plans on staying the boss.
Ern, no he will not win an honest election and as long as this puke is in office we will never have an honest election, not that we have had honest elections in the past. The feeling is he will create a crisis and stop the elections… Anything that comes out of this administration has to be suspect, the unemployment numbers for one. The numbers are closer to 16% but they can fudge the numbers by not counting those who are no longer drawing benefits and not looking for work.
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.
Can you see where this is going? Can you see the current push in these directions? Open your eyes!
DEAR SMITTY,
IF YOU ARE WHO I THINK YOU ARE, PLEASE KEEP UP THE PRESSURE .

What dictator with your site make a decision for all of us what is acceptable. I know that freedom of speech is a right. When will you shoot the offensive commentator and sue him with a liberal lawyer?? I want no part of a site that sets itself up as a god.
Those who have neither the will nor the desire to live free are the first ones to give up their freedoms and liberties for tyranny!
The tree of liberty needs to be watered down from time to time with the blood of tyrants and patriots.
Evil flourishes when good men do nothing.
Which camp are you in?
Extremely accurate assessment. And that is why I contend, and have so for more than 6 mos. now, that massive rioting/anarchy(probably caused by Obama’s daddy Soros)will result in Obama declaring a State of Emergency and all elections will be postponed indefinitely. The Imposter will then declare himself Dictator ad Infinitum. Patriots will rebel, adding to the chaos. The UN/EU will be brought in. Civil War. Welcome to Amerika!
I pray to God every night that this cretin will not be re-elected.
This is all prophecy being fulfilled, whether you believe the Bible or not. “Our” government is all in it together. While in office, these attorneys are being made into multi-millionaires, and do you think they are going to rock the boat? I think not. The stage is being set not for the “aniolation”? of the poor, middle class and euthenasia. We are now seeing the same thing we saw in Germany in pre and during WWII. The US has been killing and experimenting with the disable, handicapped, aged, and the overall useless to society (in their eyes) for years now, and there is enough of it coming out now that it is evident to everyone. The media is now being run by the government, along with healthcare and all else. If this goon (obum) can get in by illegal votes (SS numbers of dead people voting) and after 6 to 8 times of the democrats trying to redefine “american citizen”, the dem’s, rep’s and all else will redefine the new world order while nothing is said or done. FOLLOW the MONEY. There was a time in this country when the constitution read, “if the government is being subversive to the American people, they have the right to abolish that government and establish a new one that will suffice to serve their freedoms of liberty, etc. (paraphrased).
We are all afraid of the government now to the point that everyone is fready to fight to the death for the world our forefathers dreamed of. The us government, because of this, is now afraid of the people to the point they are (and possibly) will, as with lincoln, establish gun prohibition, more “watch” on the people, abolish more and more rights and very soon, establish (as with lincoln) marshall law. I think we’ll see Americans with guns trying to shoot down the 30,000 drones planned for their “people watch” porogram, and more and more hatred of government by the people.
Just an opinion.
And, all of what you said too Joe. Thank you. You’re an awake American. Just imagine for a moment what it would be like to be a ‘useful idiot’ in these trying times. Can you imagine the betrayal, the hurt these people will feel once they realize what’s really going on and what’s at stake.
I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes!
If employment is better as the democrat/media is bragging, why extend the unemployment pay checks.
Or is it still 9.9 plus and its all a media lie, there are still millions out of work, the media is trying to paint a rosy picture for obama’s reelection.
I can’t see anyone wanting him for another 4 years, he has failed, our economy is worst, food and gas has gone up, interest rates are so low, we on retirement that need that to supplement our SS payments are having a hard time making ends meet, try living on $1,50.00 a month, and because of his shredding our Constitution, Bill of Rights, freedom of speech & religion, his policies, regulations, small businesses are suffering, I see many empty buildings, so businesses have closed since he took office.
He has not helped the economy as he promised, and only made it worst.
And making America very un secure in this hostile world.
I have been watching very closely the arguements about Obama not being qualified to be on the ballots, let alone being elected as President again. I think he will be re-elected, his liberal media, blind,deft, dumb, dead and illegal voters will see to it that his is again in office. While our candidates beat up on each other, the left are rolling on the floor laughing at the conservatives. Just yesterday the Washington Post released a story of Obamas appointees who have given out contracts to companies they worked for and had vested interest in. Where is our Congress, at least the SO CALLED CONSERVATIVES who should be on this like flies on dog feces. Our conservative leaders (SO CALLED) are a bunch of wimps and cowards. We deserve the government we elect and the government we fail to question. I get very tired of shaking my head at these listless morons. I have called my reps, given my name, address, and phone number demanding an answer as to why they have done nothing to at least bring attention to illegal, unethical liberal actions. The answer I get so far is NOTHING. In questioning Liberals and showing them what is going on you get the Deer in a headlight respons “Obama is doing a great job, Bush is the reashon things are screwed up. Damn, Forest Gump was right, “you can’t cure stupid”. That also applies to our current crop of Conservatives,,,Just plain STUPID.
Torquedoff,
I agree with you and would like to add that if you count the people dependent on the Federal Government for their income that will vote for him, the union members that will vote for him, and the people that have always voted democrat because that is the way their family has always voted, add in voter fraud, then consider that with the winner take all electoral votes in each state it can take as few as 11 states for him to win.
It gets downright scary.
I see your point Slim. Very true. However, it’s imperative that all anti-Obama voters get registered and MUST go out and vote against him. If there were enough people doing that, I don’t think they can cook the numbers that much. It’s a lot easier to cook the numbers on much smaller counts. Much, much more difficult to try and cover millions of anti-Obama votes.
I would hope these same voters would also vote out all the established elitists in the Congress and Senate.
We change Presidents every 4 to 8 years but these are the people that have the real power in our government and have been instrumental in leading this country into the mess we have today.
If all our elected officials and appointed civil servants would honor their Oath of Office we wouldn’t be in this mess.
.
There is so much corruption in our government at this point that no one person knows the whole truth. So many lies have been told on both sides that confusion reigns. We do know that Obama is constitutionally inelegible to hold office, his national background is highly questionable at best, his political bent is socialist/communist and to add to all that, there are those who believe Obama is not a Christian as he claims, but is actually still a Muslim. Many solid Evangelical Christians who have followed Obama’s actions are convinced that he is not who he says he is based on comments, actions and his “fruit”. Obama has lied repeatedly which has been documented, he has made a nunber of policy decisions that are deemed “traitorous”. He obviously has little concern for the Constitution and is doing everything he can to undermine the basic freedoms and tenets of both that founding document and the Bill of Rights. But . . . don’t count on the citizens to throw him out as he deserves. The moral fiber of this nation has been largely destroyed over the decades. What was called “good” is now called “evil” and what was called “evil” is now called “good”. Bible prophesy says that when this happens, the end is near. Obama and his liberal, progressive associates have contributed more to the demise of America in the last three years than any previous administration, Democrat or Republican. Fiscal policy is important, but that is only a portion of the problem. The current weakness of this nation is seen by many as similar to the terminal weakness in one who is dying. There comes a point beyond which all treatment is useless. We are rapidly approaching that point!
Are you kidding me? This man has a past noone knows anything about, he has nine Social Security Numbers, had to surrender his licence to practice law in Illinois, was not born in the Unietd States, is not legally the President of the Untied States, is a Marxist Communist, has filled out Government with Communist, brought caos to the streets of America AND YOU say the two things that will stop him are gas prices and the contraceptive mandate?
It’s frustrating isn’t it Larry? We must keep this Obama eligibility issue alive, on the front burner. We cannot let this dog go astray. The MSM will of course show no interest. We already know that. No matter what radio show you’re listening to, call in and bring the subject up. Talk about how Judge Malihi in Georgia sold out to Obama. Obama should be held in contempt of court for disregarding the subpoena. But that’s nothing new for Obama. He thinks it’s beneath him to show up in court. He hasn’t got time to obey a subpoena, after all, he’s much too busy doing the people’s work. I just love how these politicians all of a sudden are doing the people’s work when they’re asked to enter the spotlight — like court!
Anyway, call talk shows, talk to your friends and neighbors, write letters to the editors of your local newspapers. Whatever it takes, just keep this out in the open.
I can’t wait to see what Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his Cold Case Posse come up with on March 1. I hope Obama’s sweating and losing sleep over it. I call Obama the Teflon Don, nothing seems to stick to this creep!
I’m wondering if the Georgia judge took the case just so that he could give Obama the “okay” and made a show of accepting the plaintiffs case so as to fake out his real intent?
Hopefully the appeal process will continue and have a better result.
it dont matter…. what does matter is now all the FACTS are on record in a court of ”law” ha ha, but anyway obama and his tin horn lawyer screwed up when this happened …some idiot who calls himself alcum swallower ,said they lied and entered lies at the hearing ….what idiot lawyer would go into a court room and knowingly enter fictitious material as evidence , they entered FACTS and these FACTS are now on the courts record as evidence and the Liberty Legal Foundation will use these facts when they go to the Georgia Supreme Court to get the muslim traitor fraud kicked off the ballot
I think the two tandem points are becoming more clarified that being this uncredentialed being is a hoax from top to bottom and it was a campaign of marketed fraud and deception that allowed him in office and a constant skirting of law that has let him stay this long….the contrivance of a monumental economic collapse is the best crisis weapon in a representative government supported by a free market and it is aimed at the heart of capitalism…
I do not want to sound like a defeatest, but we need to realize Blacks, Democrats, Liberals, big business, Unions and it’s members, college students, especially the young females, Jews, Muslims, people who are recieving entitlements, illegals, Hispanics and the women who vote for the hottie will vote for him.
I firmly believe that if push comes to shove he will do several things like give amnesty to ALL illegals, have a mass swearing in ceremony to make them legal, provide transportation to the polls, furnish food and refreshments for his voters, and have a situation created where he can declare Marshall Law, cancel the election and remain in power until he is discarded, when he is no longer useful.
It is going to be an uphill battle and almost impossible to defeat or bring BHO to justice with the BILLIONS backing him, plus more pledged if needed, but it can be done if enough people wake up and take a hard look and realize we are slowly losing our freedoms and OUR Country!!!
This illegal,phony.lying POTUS will do whatever it takes to win in 2012!!
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million illegal’s – and they vote – then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years. Do your research. Do not listen to the Media!!!

It will be just likie Soro’s stated on CNN a couple of wks. ago: There will be massive rioting in the U.S. soon. And who would know better than him as he’s the one behind the riots. OWS(SEIU sponsored with Soros directing), the Wash. State seaport where 8 sec. ofcrs. were kidnapped and the seaport and nothing nothing was done about it, La Raza riots in L.A., S.F. and other Calif. cities, etc., etc. He has been flexing his political muscle by using threats and intimidation and Congress is afraid to do anything. With his boy Obuma ruling the WH and Reid the Senate, he feels that he can get away with anything. And with our current Congress, he can. And don’t count on the election to change it. Soros has that covered completely! Welcome to Amerika!!
The explosion at the BP refinery in Cherry Point, Washington, will come back to haunt . Gas prices wil climb higher and higher. With not signing the Pipe line bill wil be his downfall in November of 2012.
DEAR FOLKS:
OBAMA IS A ONE-TERMER. ROMNEY WITH A CONSERVATIVE (AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND) WILL DO IT IN NOVEMBER. REGULAR GAS CONTINUED PRICE RISES IN THE NEXT FOUR TO FIVE MONTHS WILL INCINERATE HIS COFFIN. AS SOON AS THE NEW TEAM IS ELECTED, OIL AND GAS PRICE WILL GO DOWN.
PLEASE KEEP THE FAITH!
