Hail Obama's 100th!

OMFG
UPDATED
AP poll shows independents not sold on Obama
A new Associated Press reveals only 17 percent of self-described political independents think America is  “heading in the right direction” under Barack Obama. It seems higher taxes, higher spending, higher debt and nationalizing industry isn’t winning over independent voters.

The percentage of Americans who believe Elvis is or might still be alive is higher than that of political independents who think Obama has America heading in the right direction ... .

When I saw that Drudge headline I actually yelled WTF?  But with who;e words.  Which earned a "don't talk like that" rebuke from someone in the living room.  But puh-leeze.  Of the three voting pillars  that propped Obama before the election, only the first two could still  manage to wring"greatness" out of the urine soaked mop that is this Administration.  

And I was right.  The Drudge story link goes to Politico's story about how Obama wants people to see him.  April 29 will be the 100th day of Barack Obama’s presidency. White House senior adviser David Axelrod calls the 100th day a “Hallmark holiday,”  so his staff developed talking points to aide the media in delivering a coherent assessment.

  1. Obama is a promise-keeper.
    The White House is pushing back against what it realizes is a dangerous perception ...
  2. Obama is a game-changer.The White House is worried that the public does not sufficiently grasp Obama’s view that his ideas fit together in a coherent strategy ...
  3. Obama is the decider.
    The White House is worried that the public does not sufficiently grasp Obama’s view that his ideas fit together in a coherent strategy ...
  4. Obama’s not in the bubble.Look for more stories about how the president reads 10 letters from ordinary Americans every day
  5. Obama is not FDR.These times are different than the those of the New Deal, they say, and it will take time for Obama’s version of “bold, persistent experimentation” to take root in meaningful ways.
  6. Obama is FDR.Even as they officially distance themselves from it, White House aides make clear they love the New Deal analogies.
  7. Obama is one cool cucumber.
    The White House loves the image of a calmly competent president who never loses his head — or his temper ..

Items rejected include:
  1. Obama is really a natural born citizen
    Why open that can of worms
  2. He's an eloquent speaker without a teleprompter
    quia impossibile
Putz.

Inside The Regime

Overheard at the lounge

First, this BFTP as a moodsetter




Pappy | Uh, how so? Or is that how you're interpreting the whole legalism are-we-gonna-prosecute-or-not deal?

Partly, IMNSHO. The destruction is due to the president revealing the particulars of US interrogation techniques to the US enemies now and potential.

There's been a nearly half-century unspoken promise that CIA agent operations or the national security secrets of a previous administration would be not disclosed for political reasons. That has now happened.

Obama went to Langley, not to boost the morale of the Agency. It was to deliver a band-aid to those who'd just got thrown under the bus by him. Damage control.

When you hear: "I know the last few days have been difficult - you need to know you've got my full support" It's time to start looking for another line of work. Especially since the difficulties have been caused by the guy making that speech to you. And considering that he's already backtracking on his promise not do the prosecution route on the lawyers, the CIA agents can't trust him not to renege on his promise not to prosecute them.

And if I was an Agency or Department depending on the CIA for intel support or clandestine operations, I'd be looking for another source or developing my own.

Deacon Blues | Morning, All. pappy I think Obama was sending the message to the CIA that if they undermined him like they did Bush there would be consequences. I'm interested in how the CIA will play this. With Bush They used Valerie Plame and her worthless Spouse and leaked much stuff to the NYT on interrogation, wiretaps, and money transfers. Is the CIA gonna help him or oppose him?

Who? Me?

The demoralization process in the United States is basically completed already.  ... not even comrade Andropov and all his experts would even dream the tremendous success.  Most of it is done to Americans by Americans, thanks to lack of moral standards.  Exposure to information does not matter anymore.  A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information - that tells nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information - with authentic truth with documents and teachings.  Even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him concentration camps he will refuse to believe it.  Until .. until he receive a kick in his fat bottom.

KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov describes his mission as regards the United States, and KGB methodology.  The good news is that useful idiots Jane Fonda, Michael Moore and Noam Chomsky are slated for execution.

Skyhawker Doug brought to our attention, once again, Ex-KGB Uri Bezmenov talking about  Ideological Indoctrination.  Here's my digested version from 2007.  Back then I hoped that such revelations would shock the populace into an awareness that would have made today's situation an impossibility.   Maybe if people by the millions had watched it ... ? Sigh.  If you can still make your kids do stuff, makem watch this on pain of losing their toys. For the Restoration.

California County Declares Anarchy
Even as government metastasizes at an unprecedented rate, devouring ever more wealth and running up debts that will crush the economy, bureaucrats find they can't afford to perform the basic functions that justify their regrettable existence.

ATTACK!

A Cyber-Attack on an American City

Testing 1-2  ... Testing 1-2-...

Just after midnight on Thursday, April 9, unidentified attackers climbed down four manholes serving the Northern California city of Morgan Hill and cut eight fiber cables in what appears to have been an organized attack on the electronic infrastructure of an American city. Its implications, though startling, have gone almost un-reported.

That attack demonstrated a severe fault in American infrastructure: its centralization. The city of Morgan Hill and parts of three counties lost 911 service, cellular mobile telephone communications, land-line telephone, DSL internet and private networks, central station fire and burglar alarms, ATMs, credit card terminals, and monitoring of critical utilities. In addition, resources that should not have failed, like the local hospital's internal computer network, proved to be dependent on external resources, leaving the hospital with a "paper system" for the day.

In technical terms, the area was partitioned from the surrounding internet. What was the attackers goal? Nothing has been revealed. Robbery? With wires cut, silent alarms were useless. Manipulation of the stock market? Companies, brokerages, and investors in the very wealthy community were cut off. Mayhem, murder, terrorism? But nothing like that seems to have happened. Some theorize unhappy communications workers, given the apparent knowledge of the community's infrastructure necessary for this attack. Or did the attackers simply want to teach us a lesson?

We should also consider whether it might be necessary to harden some of the local infrastructure of our communities. The old Bell System used to arrange cables in a ring around a city, so that a cut in any one location could be routed around. It's not clear how much modern telephone companies have continued that practice. It might not have helped in Morgan Hill, as the attackers apparently even disabled an unused cable that could have been used to recover from the broken connections.

Surprisingly, manholes don't usually have locks. ...  [Bruce Perens continued] - via Thing From Snowy Mountain

Prediction - "Pelosi wants 1.2 Trillion to upgrade sewer security."

Seriously though, it's a good thing we have Team Obama's crack Lawfare specialists at the ready to negotiate and placate, else we might be seriously vulnerable. 

The Party of Hate and Ineptness

If there's a debacle, or congressional graft ..

Emanuel, a foul-mouthed would-be tough guy  ... the hallmark of this administration
“When you're the party of no, when you're the party of never, when you're the party of no new ideas, that's not constructive&hellip. The challenge will be: Will the Republicans come to the table with constructive ideas?”

GM is Becoming a Royal Debacle:  So King Barack the Mild is finding as he tries to dictate the terms of what amounts to an out-of-court bankruptcy for Chrysler and GM. He wants Chrysler's secured lenders to give up their right to nearly full recovery in a bankruptcy in return for 15 cents on the dollar. They'd be crazy to do so, of course, except that these banks also happen to be beholden to the administration for TARP money.

Emanuel's Story Line is Fishy:  On ABC's “This Week” on Sunday, Emanuel had this to say about President Barack Obama's critics on the right: “When you're the party of no, when you're the party of never, when you're the party of no new ideas, that's not constructive&hellip. The challenge will be: Will the Republicans come to the table with constructive ideas?”

Senate Ethics Committee Needs to Investigate Feinstein:  Yesterday, the Washington Times revealed that Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) offered on October 30th, 2008 to secure funds for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) directly on the heels of the agency awarding a three-year contract to CB Richard Ellis (CBRE), a company run by Feinstein's husband, Richard Blum.

An Alarming Trend:  That appears to be the Obama Administration's latest tactic to achieve greater government control over liberty, the economy, and mankind's ability to tread water. And again, it's with phony science. Anxieties were raised last week to the highest levels yet about islands sinking into the sea, the elimination of entire nations, and even the reduction of coastlines to certain U.S. states if, of course, carbon emissions are not immediately reduced.

Lionel -AirHead

Lionel philosophizes on the importance of life.
Mine.
... and yours

This guy Lionel's
Lionel Air Head
radio show was recently added to the most spectacularly unsuccessful network in US history.  Air America.  That's really an unfairly perjorative intro to his Huff Post article What Would You Not Do to Stop a Nuke?,  but what the hell.

The Hypothesis

Assume, arguendo, this hypothetical.

It is Inauguration day. President Obama is about to be sworn is as 44. Virtually everyone in federal office is there. Congressmen, Senators, the Supremes, the new cabinet. Get the picture? You, a federal law enforcement type, have in your custody a man who you reasonably believe knows where a nuclear device is to be detonated nearby. Remember, this isn't just any old nuclear device threat. If this baby is detonated, virtually every aspect and player of and in our government will be vaporized. The device will be detonated within the hour. There's no time to evacuate, no place to run. Any warning will be futile and just inspire mayhem and chaos.

Now, the question. What would you not do to locate that nuclear device?


Horry clap Lionel, way to skew the results!  For our purposes let's assume, arguendo, that the target location is your house. M-kay?

Let's get a few things straight.
Now, let's be axiomatic, shall we? Torture is bad. It's un-American and violates our values and the provisions of the Geneva Conventions. And when you consider that torture was essentially okayed on Bush's watch by his henchmen, especially that snarling Cerberus, Mr. Potter, big Dick Cheney, I mean, it's certainly enough to enrage you. When I think of John Yoo, advocating torture's praxis, parsing what is and isn't torture (organ failure?), I want to waterboard him myself. Why is it that the biggest advocates of war and torture appear to be the biggest wimps.

Well, I reckon his axioms are acceptable if the audience is a pack of Liberal canker-blossoms, and it is. But what's that "... biggest advocates of war [are] the biggest wimps" deal?  Let's not get too carried away with the hyperbole, Lionel.  He  continues blah-blah-blah until finally concluding --

As my Hell's Kitchen buddy says, "All's I'm saying is what if it worked?" I don't think it does. Listen to me, there I go again. The expert. No, I intuitively believe that as actual experts have noted, it doesn't work, [ahem] the results are not trustworthy, it violates international law and tells the world that we haven't a leg to stand on (there's a torture pun somewhere) in complaining when a downed or captured American serviceman is tortured.

Lionel of course is full of liberal crap, and I don't for a minute believe that if his ass was on the line he'd scream bloody murder over any methodology that led to stopping the detonation of a nuke.  But, what if I'm wrong?  So, let me repeat his question this way. What would you not do to Lionel if he was protecting the terrorist from being interrogated about the location of that nuclear device?" 

Our CIC

"BHO (Obama) wouldn't authorize
the DEVGRU/NSWC SEAL teams ..."


This was sent to me by agent rahouey for verification.  It smells like Clinton in Somalia, but I'll wait for verification before going nuts.

Having spoken to some SEALs here in Virginia Beach yesterday and asking why this thing dragged out for 4 days, the following info emerged.

1.  BHO (Obama) wouldn't authorize the DEVGRU/NSWC SEAL teams to the scene for 36 hours going against OSC (on scene commander) recommendation.
2.  Once they arrived, BHO imposed restrictions on their ROE that they couldn't do anything unless the hostage's life was in "imminent" danger.
3.  The first time the hostage jumped, the SEALS had the raggies all sighted in, but could not fire due to ROE restriction.
4.  When the na vy RIB came under fire as it approached with supplies, no fire was returned due to ROE restrictions.  As the raggies were shooting at the RIB, they were exposed and the SEALS had them all dialed in.
5.  BHO specifically denied two rescue plans developed by the Bainbridge CPN and SEAL teams.
6.  Bainbridge CPN and SEAL team CDR finally decide they have the OpArea and OSC authority to solely determine risk to hostage.  4 hours later, 3 dead raggies
7.  BHO immediately claims credit for his "daring and decisive" behaviour.  As usual with him, it's BS.

So per our last email thread, I'm downgrading Oohbaby's performace to D-.  Only reason it's not an F is that the hostage survived.

Read the following accurate account.

Philips’ first leap into the warm, dark water of the Indian Ocean hadn’t worked out as20well. With the Bainbridge in range and a rescue by his country’s Navy possible, Philips threw himself off of his lifeboat prison, enabling Navy shooters onboard the destroyer a clear shot at his captors — and none was taken.

 The guidance from National Command Authority — the president of the United States, Barack Obama — had been clear: a peaceful solution was the only acceptable outcome to this standoff unless the hostage’s life w as in clear, extreme danger.

The next day, a small Navy boat approaching the floating raft was fired on by the Somali pirates — and again no fire was returned and no pirates killed. This was again due to the cautious stance assumed by Navy personnel thanks to the combination of a lack of clear guidance from Washington and a mandate from the commander in chief’s staff not to act until Obama, a man with no background of dealing with such issues and no track record of decisiveness, decided that any outcome other than a “peaceful solution” would be acceptable.

After taking fire from the Somali kidnappers again Saturday night, the on scene commander decided he’d had enough.

 Keeping his authority to act in the case of a clear and present danger to the hostage’s life and having heard nothing from Washington since yet another request to mount a rescue operation had been denied the day before, the Navy officer — unnamed in all media reports to date — deci ded the AK47 one captor had leveled at Philips’ back was a threat to the hostage’s life and ordered the NSWC team to take their shots.

Three rounds downrange later, all three brigands became enemy KIA and Philips was safe.

There is upside, downside, and spinside to the series of events over the last week that culminated in yesterday’s dramatic rescue of an American hostage.

Almost immediately following word of the rescue, the Obama administration and its supporters claimed victory against pirates in the Indian Ocean and [1] declared that the dramatic end to the standoff put paid to questions of the inexperienced president’s toughness and decisiveness.

Despite the Obama administration’s (and its sycophants’) attempt to spin yesterday’s success as a result of bold, decisive leadership by the inexperienced president, the reality is nothing of the sort.

What should have been a standoff lasting only hours — as long as it took the USS Bainbridge and its team of NSWC operators to steam to the location — became an embarrassing four day and counting standoff between a ragtag handful of criminals with rifles and a U.S. Navy warship.

Interrogation

We HAVE a POW!
Let's waterboard him!
Oh, so Scott thinks the people took to the streets to "air respectable views in a most civil fashion," does he? Like the posters with the signs calling President Obama "Chairman Maobama" and labeling him as Hitler, or making pointed references to his race? If that's "respectable," then why are they getting all upset about sly references to teabagging? Oh.... because it's gay. - "Nameless Cynic "

Filthy al-Qaeda fascists

Filthy al-Qaeda fascists
We're all excited here at the Barn Army, because we captured an enemy operative!  Well, okay, nameless cynic [hereafter NC] just walked in the door, but we ain't letting him go until after some water boarding forces him to give up his secrets.  The interrogation so far has been conducted in a cellar way down here, but I'm moving it into the open hall so nobody can accuse Samurai AG of riding him naked, and forcing him to wear funny hats. One of the secrets he knows is what hospital Obama was born in!

Rodger - Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women & Children in Honolulu, Hawaii. Which, incidentally, is in the United States of America (just so you know). [NC]

This is important, because so far nobody I've found can  identify a written statement or interview or recorded statement wherein Obama, himself, identifies which hospital he was born in?    In Dreams Obama said he found his original birth certificate while he was in high school, but has refused to produce it, or even state whether he was born in Queens or Kapi'olani.   NC is about to clear that up, it would appear by the strength of his bluster. Then we can put to rest that and other nagging questions about The Him's legal eligibility, if not his cognitive capabilities.  . Like:

Many reference materials say Obama was born at Kapiolani, including Wikipedia English version under the subject “Barack Obama."
But under the subject “Queens Hospital,” Wikipedia says Obama was born there. And Wikipedia Italian says this:

Barack Obama nacque al Queen’s Medical Center di Honolulu da Barack Hussein Obama Sr….

Wikipedia Geneology says Queens too.

And there’s this reference on Yahoo Answers:

Apparently, examination of the hospitals’ records in Hawaii have shown no birthing records for Ann Dunham Obama even though there is a registry of the birth in the public records office a week after his date of birth it does not show his place of birth.

 Moving on.  You'll understand our reluctance about recognizing any claims made by lefty activists claiming to have had extensive military service, and inside knowledge -- what with the extensive record of phony soldiers you guys have foisted upon us. Anyway, true or no, your supposed service doesn't mean crap in the battle. I do find it disingenuous at best, and cold hearted otherwise, that a husband and father of three would see them murdered by Islamo fascists before using comparatively benign methods like water boarding to make high ranking al Qaeda scum bags reveal details that would forestall that attack. I'm going with disingenuous.

Your angst over Tax Party participants "calling President Obama 'Chairman Maobama' and labeling him as Hitler,"  confirm it.

Finally, this.   "Evading" was what Bush did. (I'm not sure what to call it when you claim an ass-pimple, like Rush did."   You know, it's crap like this that's caused me to despair of making the effort of debating  programmed knuckleheads like you.  "Avoidance," as in avoiding the draft and taxes, is as all-American as apple-pie.  Staying in college and getting deferred is not against the law.  Taking legitimate income tax deductions is not against the law.  Evasion, in both cases, is a felony.  George W. Bush served honorably in the Texas Air National Guard.  Bill Clinton evaded the draft, and is still, apparently, evading paying income tax.   Of course there's that Unprecedented Level of Tax Evasion Among Obama Appointees

Return with us to the thrilling days of yesteryear ..
when pinko democrats screwed the pooch
This 1934 Chicago Tribune political cartoon Merrily laid on me is just precious.  I don't need to add much.  Eight years after FDR took office, the depression was as bad, or worse than when he arrived. But in the process Roosevelt, using a solid Democrat congressional majority, and a less than heroic Supreme Court, had irrevocably put the nation on the road to serfdom.  World War II ended the depression. 

Henry Wallace, shown shoveling OPM into the street, was an ardent communist who would become Roosevelt's VP in 1936. At the end of World War II, as historian Allen Weinstein has revealed, Wallace even arranged a secret meeting with the NKVD's Washington station chief, offering him access to American scientists working on the atomic bomb.  

By a stroke of luck, FDR dumped him in Favor of Truman in 1944, or we'd have had our first communist president 54 years before Obama.

Ickes is the father of Hillary guru Harold Ickes, and all we need  say about that is --  acorn.

She believes al-Qaida was an "obscure group" turned into a massive threat due to U.S. policies.

She's referred to former President Bush as "our torturer in chief" and a "psychotic who need(s) treatment" while comparing Bush's arguments for waging a war on terrorism to Adolf Hitler's use of political propaganda.

These fuckers are a thrill a minute, ain't they? 

Where I explain everything

It is told ... 
Unlike my worthy political opposites, a.k.a. leftwing-arseholes, I have an open mind on any, and every subject.  One of them is space foreigners (CNN tweak).  Habitués know that I've considered the possibility.  That any explanation for what's happened to the United States in the past 50 years must always come down to them.  Space invaders. Yes, evil forces began infiltrating c. 1948, and all of them wear the mark of the beast. (D) This of course corresponds with the Apocalypse, as foretold in the Book of Revelation. 

But wait.  Okay, you're not into religion.  Don't matter.  The same prophecies have been substantively a part of every culture known to man.  As a child I was a follower of a native American,  Chief Thunderthud, and his daughter Princess Summerfall Winterspring.  I quote the Chief from memory:
And then a heap dark evil will descend from the sky, and many of the peanuts (youngsters in Injun lingo) will welcome them because they will promise heap big free wampum and honey.  But soon will begin the killing, and the gnashing, and the noshing, and a great terror will permeate the land.  But then, as if the sun fell  from the sky, the light of 10 mickwmhahas (approx. 3 billion) flaming torches, reflecting from silver swords carried by the avengers will appear.  A  great battle will ensue, and the light shall prevail over the dark, and all who resisted the dark-one will live 10 feet of toes mickwmhaha harvests, swimming in milk and buffalo meat, and have all the nookahommy they desire, and never have a fallen staff. The others; they will burn.  
So, there you have it.  If you travel the fringe radio airwaves in the middle of the night, as I do, you'll have heard a good deal about this.  What's fascinating is that all of them say it will happen this year. The full invasion force of the evil ones. I'm just saying. Kowa-freaking-bonga! How long must I wait for my milk and nookahommy?

Sean Hannity interviews Dick Cheney on the subject




In an interview with FOX News' Sean Hannity aired on "Hannity" Monday night, Cheney questioned the point of releasing the legal decisions behind the interrogations but not the outcome of them. 

"One of the things that I find a little bit disturbing about this recent disclosure is they put out the legal memos, the memos that the CIA got from the Office of Legal Counsel, but they didn't put out the memos that showed the success of the effort," Cheney said. 

Cheney said he's asked that the documents be declassified because he has remained silent on the confidential information, but he knows how successful the interrogation process was and wants the rest of the country to understand. 

"I haven't talked about it, but I know specifically of reports that I read, that I saw, that lay out what we learned through the interrogation process and what the consequences were for the country," Cheney said. "I've now formally asked the CIA to take steps to declassify those memos so we can lay them out there and the American people have a chance to see what we obtained and what we learned and how good the intelligence was."




   The former vice president says the biggest task he had was to protect the nation's security following 9/11 and to ensure such devastation would never happen again.  He says many of the policies he set up are currently being dismantled by the Obama administration.

"There's a great temptation for a new administration to find a problem and blame it on the predecessor.  We did it.  The Obama administration is not the first one to do that," said Cheney.

Since his departure from the White House, Cheney says he's been concerned over the way the U.S. has been presented overseas and finds Obama's apologies to various countries "disturbing." He also feels Obama's "coziness" with America's opponents like Daniel Ortega and Hugo Chavez is not "helpful."

"Since the U.S. provides most leadership in the world,  I don't think we have much to apologize for," said Cheney.

While he feels that a president needs to interact with adversaries, Cheney says it's important to distinguish between the good guys and bad guys.  He says that the world will be quick to take advantage of a situation if they feel like they're dealing with a weak president.

"It's important the U.S. that we don't come off as arrogant -- but also important to not come across as weak, indecisive and apologetic," said Cheney.

He replied, 'Yes - caffeine.'

'Have you ever been in the military service?'
'Yes,' he replied. 'I was in Iraq for two years.'
The interviewer said, 'That will give you 5 extra points toward employment.

Then he asked,'Are you disabled in any way?'
The guy said, Yes....an IED exploded near me and I lost both of my testicles.
The interviewer grimaced and then said,'O.K. You've got enough points for me to hire you right now.
Our normal hours are from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. You can start tomorrow at 10:00 - and plan on starting at 10:00 A.M. . .every day.

The guy was puzzled and asks, 'If the work hours are from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. , why don't you want me to be here until 10:00 A.M. ?

'This is a union job', the interviewer said.

Why do you call them "filthy" Rodge?

Just unbelievable ... 
.. from a state that's mostly unbelievable to begin with.
I'd been at Coalinga a couple of days when Mr Rigby showed me his dormitory. He'd been a high school sports coach before being convicted of molesting some of his students.

He told me he was a great appreciator of the male physical form.

Above his bed were photos of classical statues of male nudes. These gave me pause, since I knew some paedophiles like to justify their proclivities by citing the ancient Greeks' famous enthusiasm for pederasty.

There was also a reproduction of a painting of young male ballet dancers, which had a definite erotic overtone. I asked one of Mr Rigby's social workers, who was standing by, if it was okay for patients to have mildly sexual imagery on their walls, especially since it seemed to me it was in the area of the patient's offences. He said it was - "as long as they're of age". (Cont)


What can I say, except the obvious.  Our House of Representatives is currently controlled by the same people who come up with this crap.  What's our self defense?  The ballot?  Don't make me laugh harder than I already am.  Elections mean nothing anymore.  Okay, maybe I'm wrong.  Raise your hand if you trust voting integrity in the state you live in.  See? But if you raised your hand, and live in one of these states +MN, then ...  well, I have to think you're daft or terminally ignorant.

Thanks to L. O'Grady for the tip.

Who Captured the Beauty?

Stuck on Stupid Eligibility Questions

Clueless in  Seattle  - YIKES!!!
In a  Seattle   Washington  college classroom, they were discussing the qualifications to be President of the  United States . It was pretty simple the candidate must be a natural born citizen of at least 35 years of age.

However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair was the requirement to be a natural born citizen. In short, her opinion was that this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president. The class was taking it in and letting her rant, but everyone's jaw hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating, 'What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by C-section?'

Yep, these are the 18 year olds.  I think we are in deep trouble.
That sent by my son and protégé, which I'll use as a segue into you-know-what.   That's right, Obammy's eligibility.  I've been wondering why Obama would proffer a forged document when it's so easy to get a "legitimate" false COLB from Hawaii?  It only takes an affidavit.

As a prime example “The Father of Modern China” Dr. Sun Yat-Sen was issued a Hawaiian Certificate of Live Birth, by giving false information to the State of Hawaii.

In this Typewritten Certificate of Hawaiian Birth dated March 14, 1904, Dr. Sun Yat-Sen signed an affidavit that he was born in Hawaii on Nov. 24, 1870 (in reality he was born in China in 1866).

Here's a site where I felt I could get some answers.  It led to this summary, which is interesting because it contains documents I hadn't seen before.  Like those John McCain was forced to present to a senate committee inquiring into his eligibility, but never asked of Obama. There is NOT a chance in hell that Obama isn't hiding something, and I will bet money that he is holding his current office illegally. At this point he certainly appears to be "The Father of The United Socialist States."

Today's OMFG!
A Spa for Those Women Concerned About ‘Pelvic Fitness’
Dr. Lauri Romanzi, a gynecologist who performs pelvic reconstruction surgery, said she came up with the idea for the spa one day while walking by an outlet of BriteSmile, the tooth-whitening chain. She liked that the stores cater to people with healthy teeth.......... (SondraK)
Oh my, but it pales in comparson to this  ("You don't get a second chance to make a good first impression") procedure.
