“The wife of President Obama’s new online response team leader is a top official at Moveon.org and was the promoter of the group’s notorious attacks on Gen. David H. Petraeus.
This week the White House named its online guru, Jesse Lee, to a new position within itscommunications department titled Director of Progressive Media & Online Response.
The Huffington Post reports Lee will be responsible for responding to negative stories as Obama prepares for his reelection bid.
Last April, Lee married Nita Chaudhary, a progressive activist.
Choudhary has led MoveOn’s campaigns on the Iraq War and U.S. Constitution as well as running the group’s fundraising program for MoveOn’s 2008 electoral effort. She is MoveOn’s campaign director for political action.
MoveOn is funded by philanthropist George Soros.
During the period Choudhary led the group’s Iraq campaign, MoveOn was behind a notorious ad accusing Petraeus of “cooking the books for the White House.” The ad also labeled him “General Betray Us.”
Choudhary stood by the Petraeus ad after it created national political controversy.
“It’s unfortunate that they’re concentrating on the headlines instead of the facts in the ad,” said Chaudhary. “We stand by every single fact [in the ad], and we challenge Boehner ... and any other politician to refute those facts.”
At MoveOn, Choudhary advocated against what she called “right wing extremists.”
In an August 2009 email from the organization, Choudhary wrote, “Right-wing extremists have been crashing tons of events and trying to dominate the national debate.”
Continued Choudhary: “But MoveOn members won’t let them succeed-we’re pushing back with Real Voices for Change, an ambitious campaign to show that the overwhelming majority of Americans continue to support President Obama’s plans for change.”
Two months later, she sent out a blast email decrying “big insurance” companies.
“We need to make sure Democrats who side with ‘Big Insurance’ face consequences with the voters back home,” she wrote.
In a dispatch last June, Choudary warned against a “secret cabal” of “conservatives” trying to slash Social Security and Medicare.
Wrote Choudhary: “It sounds like something Glenn Beck would cook up: a powerful cabal of right-wing ideologues hatches a secret plan to force cuts to Social Security and Medicare, and they’re on the verge of succeeding. But it’s true.
“Right now, the stars are aligned for conservatives who’ve spent decades trying to cut Social Security — the heart of the New Deal.
“And instead of articulating a progressive response, Democrats seem frozen, like deer in the headlights,” she wrote.
Choudhary previously was director of online organizing for the Voter Contact Department of the Democratic National Committee.
In 2007, she was a trainer at the MoveOn-created progressive New Organizing Institute boot camp.
The NOI board of directors includes Color of Change, an environmental group founded and run by Van Jones, Obama’s former “green” jobs czar. Jones resigned in September 2009 after it was exposed he founded a communist revolutionary organization and called for “resistance” against the U.S. government.

Note: What follows is the 2007 ABC News article and/or blog post by Jake Tapper that revealed the MoveOn.org Ad that took aim at General Petraeus:
MoveOn.org Ad Takes Aim at Petraeus: “Ad From Liberal Activist Group Takes on Petraeus and the GOP Finds a New Talking Point”-Posted on ABCNews.go.com-By JAKE TAPPER-On September 10, 2007:
“A newspaper ad from the anti-war group MoveOn.org that attacks Gen. David Petraeus has prompted a Republican outcry in Washington, D.C., as supporters of the surge strategy in Iraq change the subject from the progress in Iraq to the rhetoric used by war opponents.
“General Petraeus or General Betray Us?” reads the full-page ad (CLICK HERE), which cost the liberal group MoveOn.org approximately $65,000 and ran in section A of today’s New York Times.
The ad accuses the general of “Cooking the Books for the White House” and asserts “General Petraeus is a military man constantly at war with the facts,” citing optimistic statements the general has made about Iraq in the past.
White House spokesman Tony Snow called it “a boorish, childish, unworthy attack” and called on members of Congress to condemn the ad. By the end of the day, 30 Republican senators and Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., had written to the Democratic Senate Leader, asking him to “join us in making it clear that you do not share the views of Moveon.org, and that you will not join Moveon.org in attacking the character of this fine officer” and House Republicans had introduced a resolution condemning the ad.
A Democratic leadership aide on Capitol Hill told ABC News that the ad was “not helpful” because it allowed Republicans to refocus attention from “what’s happening on the ground in Iraq and the fact that everyone, even Gen. Petraeus, agrees that political progress is lacking.”
In addition to liberal activist groups such as MoveOn.org, Democrats in both the House and Senate have impugned Petraeus’ testimony today, and those tuning in to the House hearing today to hear from Petraeus had to wait longer than scheduled because the general’s microphone was not functioning, prompting a brief recess.
The microphones of his GOP defenders were fully amplified, however. The ranking Republican on the House Armed Services committee, Rep. Duncan Hunter of California, took much of the limited time he had to make remarks at Petraeus’ briefing this afternoon to decry the MoveOn.org ad and other attacks on the general’s credibility, noting that Petraeus had been unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate earlier this year.
“Let us start off this hearing with this stipulation,” Hunter said, Petraeus will offer “a candid independent assessment delivered with integrity.”
The chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., said the ad “is outrageous and it is deplorable” and called upon her “colleagues on both sides of the aisle” to condemn the ad and, somewhat inexplicably, to apologize to the general for the impugning of his integrity.
The GOP presidential candidates added their voices to the chorus as well, with Arizona Sen. John McCain calling the ad a “McCarthyite attack on an American patriot. … No matter where you stand on the war, we should all agree on the character and decency of this exceptional American.”
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, wrote on the National Review blog “The Corner,” that “(l)ike the men he commands, (Petraeus) is risking his life to protect our freedoms here at home. We should not prejudge him or his testimony, or give him anything less than the full respect he deserves.
Outside a South Carolina barbecue joint Monday afternoon, former Sen. Fred Thompson, R-Tenn., called the ad “outrageous” and said, “MoveOn.org has today, in effect, said that the General leading our brave troops in Iraq is betraying his country. This is the group that funds the Democratic Party. all upon the Democratic Party and all of the Democratic candidates for President to repudiate the libel of this patriotic American.”
But Democrats said doing so would be falling into a GOP trap and criticized Republicans for trying to change the subject from the substance of Petraeus’s testimony.
A spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said while the ad gave Republicans “a new talking point,” Reid would not be decrying the ad.
“They have every right to buy an ad in The New York Times,” said Reid spokesman Jim Manley. “The issue isn’t Gen. Petraeus, who’s a good man and a fine soldier. The problem is that he is being brought in during the fourth quarter and the administration is trying to give him ownership of the entire game. They cannot deflect responsibility like this. The American people know how we got to this point and know that it is time to change course.”
Asked if they would condemn the MoveOn.org ad, the Democratic presidential frontrunners all demurred but tellingly, all of them refrained from criticizing Gen. Petraeus personally.
“Sen. Obama’s question is not about General Petraeus’s patriotism,” said Bill Burton, spokesman for Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. “It’s about his logic. There’s no evidence that this surge is producing the political progress needed to resolve the civil war in Iraq, or that it will be accomplished through more of the same.
Phil Singer, spokesman for the campaign of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, said that “America’s troops have done all that has been asked of them and then some, but the reality is that there is no military solution to what is going on in Iraq which is why our focus must remain on getting the president to change course.”
As for the ad, Singer said, “It is unfortunate that Republican presidential candidates are focused on generating a political sideshow instead of discussing the President’s failed war policy. Sen. Clinton is going to keep her focus where it should be, on ending the war.”
Eric Schultz, spokesman for the campaign of former Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., said that “Sen. Edwards honors General Petraeus’s service and patriotism, but the General is wrong to believe that the American people or Congress should give President Bush’s failed Iraq strategy more time. John Edwards believes Congress should stand firm and hold President Bush responsible for changing course with a simple and strong message—no timetable, no funding, no excuses.”
MoveOn.org says it stands by its ad.
“Every major independent study and many major news organizations cast serious doubt on Petraeus’ claims,” said Eli Pariser, executive director of MoveOn.org’s political action committee. Pariser said recent studies by the Government Accountability Office, the National Intelligence Estimate and retired Marine Gen. James Jones contradict any assertions that the surge has been a success.
“Gen. Petraeus’ claims have come under critical scrutiny,” Pariser said. “The facts all point in one direction — the surge isn’t working — and Gen. Petraeus and the White House are pointing in another.”

At WH Request, Newspaper Censors Mildly Negative Sentence About Michelle Obama-Posted on News Busters-By Lachlan Markay-On May 03, 2011:
“This White House faced strikingly little press criticism during the 2008 presidential campaign and through most of its first two years in office. So seldom is this White House meaningfully criticized in fact, that even the most mild jab apparently inspires backlash against the press.
Just last week it was revealed that a San Francisco Chronicle reporter was booted from the White House press pool for the crime of recording an anti-Obama protest with her smartphone. Then today, the Pleasanton Weekly, a small newspaper in Pleasanton, California, revealed that the White House had asked that the paper remove a passage it felt reflected poorly on First Lady Michelle Obama.
And, amazingly, the paper obliged. It removed the passage, saying it didn’t want to make a “fuss.” The White House is grateful for the self-censorship, I’m sure.
The passage in question dared to note that Mrs. Obama hadn’t spoken with the pilots of Marine One in the reporter’s presence, the Daily Caller reported on Tuesday:
“In an email to The Daily Caller, Gina Channell-Allen, president of the Pleasanton Weekly in Pleasanton, California, said that her paper “received a call from the White House asking us to take out part of the story because it reflected poorly on the First Lady.”
The story in question was a soft feature about Marine One titled, “Inside Marine One, President Obama’s helicopter,” that ran in the paper on April 20. Pleasanton staffer Amory Gutierrez “didn’t get to ride in ‘Marine One,’” she wrote in her story, “but I did get the VIP tour and took photographs of the otherwise unseen aircraft.”
She also wrote a sentence that the White House thought made FLOTUS look snooty.
“Basically the reporter said that the First Lady didn’t speak to the pilots but acknowledged them by making eye contact,” Allen wrote in her email.
Allen says she “complied” with the White House’s request “because it was not worth making a fuss over.”
She added, “I thought it was interesting, though, that the [White House] was concerned enough about image to contact a little weekly paper in Pleasanton.”

Posted on The Sun News-By Tim Funk, McClatchy Newspapers-On May. 22, 2011:
“CHARLOTTE, N.C.—As he gives sound bites condemning Islam, promoting top Republicans and raising questions about President Obama’s Christianity, North Carolina’s Franklin Graham is sounding less these days like the next Billy Graham and more like the new Jerry Falwell.
In the younger Graham’s controversial comments - offered recently and over the years on a host of TV news shows - religion scholars, political historians and even some of Graham’s fellow evangelical Christians say they hear strident echoes of the combative Falwell.
Throughout the 1980s, as head of the Moral Majority, Falwell lambasted liberals, forged alliances with the GOP and elevated issues such as abortion, homosexuality and public prayer.
The 58-year-old Graham, who came of age in a more religiously pluralistic America than the one that made his father famous, has spoken out against Islam in a way that American Muslims say encourages prejudice - and worse - against them. And though Billy Graham lost some credibility for promoting Richard Nixon during a time of American discord, his son readily mixes theological commentary with doses of political punditry.
Franklin Graham commands no Moral Majority-like political operation, though he told McClatchy he wouldn’t rule out launching one “if I thought it could save this country” from Washington politicians of both parties “who have wheeled and dealed, spent the money of our grandchildren and put us in a debt hole.”
He does lead two large evangelical organizations - Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. Together, they reach millions of mostly conservative Christians via TV specials, websites, crusade like festivals, a magazine, the Billy Graham Library and more.
And as a Graham, he’s royalty in evangelical circles - a status that offers him a potentially formidable megaphone. He has easy access to everybody from pastors to politicians, from Christian music stars to TV talk show hosts. At Fox News, nighttime host Greta Van Susteren and her camera crew have followed Graham around the world, doing stories on him from North Korea, Haiti and the Operation Christmas Child warehouse in Charlotte.
Graham, who lives in Boone, N.C., with his wife, Jane, is widely lauded for his humanitarian efforts as CEO of Samaritan’s Purse, a Christian charity. And, so far, he appears to have kept the Gospel message center stage at his festivals.
But as the country prepares to move into another presidential election year, Graham has increasingly veered into politics.
The most obvious example involves possible GOP presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
In 2009, he sent a Samaritan’s Purse plane to pick up Palin, then on a book tour, and bring her to Montreat to have dinner with himself and Billy Graham. Late last year, Palin flew to Haiti for a highly publicized inspection, with Graham, of relief efforts by Samaritan’s Purse. And, this year, after pundits criticized Palin for her gun imagery in the wake of the shooting of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, Graham put out a news release defending the former Alaska governor.
Type in “Sarah Palin” on the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association website and up comes a video of “Sarah Palin on Finding Faith” and photos of her cradling babies in Haiti.
The Graham seal of approval.
Will other Republican White House wannabes get similar treatment?
Graham, who’s mastered the art of the photo op and of extending his seal of approval, has spoken highly of a few of them. He told McClatchy that U.S. Rep. Michelle Bachmann, a tea party favorite, is “a class act [who] understands the problem we’re facing,” and that former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty is “a sharp guy.”
He also touted former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who could benefit the most from Graham’s warm words at a time when many evangelical Christians are suspicious of his Mormonism.
“He may be a Mormon, but that doesn’t bother me a bit,” Graham said. “He has a lot of the same values that I hold dear. I’d rather have him than some other people on the Republican and Democratic side because at least he has a moral foundation.”
And Democrat Obama?
The president also has visited with Billy Graham - and his son - at the Montreat homestead in the N.C. mountains. Franklin Graham said Obama is “a very nice man” who inherited a sour economy and bloated budget deficit. But he’s surrounded himself with “ultra-left-wing socialists,” Graham said on Canadian TV. And, he told McClatchy, “his policies are making [things] worse ... It’s going to take new leadership in Washington.”
Graham said he has no plans yet to personally campaign for any candidates - including himself: “God’s called me to a higher calling.”
Still, he frequently offers his opinions - political and otherwise - on the nightly cable TV talkathons and on Sunday morning news shows whose hosts are hungry for headline-making quotes.
“A lot of talk shows used to love to have Falwell or [Pat] Robertson on. They could count on them to go far to the right and give them that sound bite,” said Bill Leonard, former dean of Wake Forest Divinity School and now a professor of church history and religion.
“When Franklin Graham talks like that today, he may be the new Falwell ... the person you go to, to get the money quote.”
Graham doesn’t accept or reject the comparison to Falwell, whom he called “a great man.” But he said that he doesn’t set out to create a storm.
All he’s doing, he said, is answering reporters’ questions, honestly.
“And I have as much right to speak out as a citizen of the United States as anybody else. I mean, the gays and lesbians get involved in politics. How come a Christian can’t? What’s happening is that people are trying to say that Christians - even though we have a voice - shouldn’t speak out. I just don’t agree.”
Evangelicals take sides.
Some of Graham’s recent critics have been Christians who either didn’t like what he said or how he said it.
Still other evangelicals may line up with Graham on theological and political positions, but cringe at his tone.
“This [evangelical] group says: ‘I may agree with what he’s saying, but I wish he’d said it differently,’” said the Rev. David Chadwick, pastor of Charlotte’s Forest Hill Church. “He feels inflammatory and too in-your-face for a group of Christians who believe, as it says in Colossians, that speech is supposed to be seasoned with grace.”
Graham’s pull-no-punches style does have its defenders - including the Rev. Jonathan Falwell, who succeeded his famous father as senior pastor at Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Va.
If preaching against sin brings controversy, so be it, said the son of Jerry Falwell: “Dad said God never called him to be popular.”
‘Seems to relish controversy’
Some of the same observers who note the similarities between Graham and Jerry Falwell also point to the contrasts between Franklin Graham and Billy Graham - especially in their rhetoric.
The father turned away from his fundamentalist roots, and for most of his career, took pains to be diplomatic and inclusive. The son is a straight shooter who dismisses Islam as “wicked” and told the Observer that evangelical pastor Rob Bell is a “a heretic” and compared him to Satan for suggesting in a new book that non-Christians may have a place in heaven.
Billy Graham cozied up to presidents of both parties, but later regretted “sometimes crossing the line,” as he put it in a January interview with Christianity Today.
Franklin Graham says he’s never voted to put a Democrat in the White House and is unapologetic about his GOP leanings - including his friendship with Palin and his enthusiasm for several likely 2012 challengers to Obama.
When Falwell was at his politically active peak, Billy Graham kept his distance. When Falwell died, Franklin Graham spoke at his funeral.
And while Billy Graham, 92, is beloved - his recent hospital stay brought the kind of daily news updates usually reserved for ex-presidents - his son has become a divisive figure who, last year, saw his invitation to a Pentagon prayer service withdrawn because of his past comments about Islam.
“Had Billy Graham been dis-invited to such a national event, people would have been at the Pentagon with pitchforks,” said Leonard. “He was the nation’s chaplain.”
Added Randall Balmer, author of “God in the White House”: Billy Graham “was allergic to controversy. He ran from it. He hated conflict. Franklin seems to relish controversy.”
Ask and he answers.
Has Graham ever thought about following his father’s late-in-life advice for clergy to steer clear of politics? Maybe decline to comment when asked about the race for the White House?
“First of all, I’m not my father,” he said.
Graham said he’s only giving his opinions when asked, not out giving speeches.
“I’m not out fighting Muslims. And you’ve never heard me go out and speak against gay people,” he said.
“Just because I happen to have opinions about our country, I get criticized.”
With Donald Trump out of the race, and Obama’s long-form birth certificate now public, Graham’s last controversial comments have begun to fade.
“But I’m sure there will be other stories in the future, on this or that,” he said. “And I’m not going to dodge” any questions about them.
And he won’t rule out endorsing somebody for president in 2012.
Said Graham: “This might be the most critical election of our life.”

Ava Indiana My show, "Stop Look & Listen Issues at hand" on "AVA Indiana" is airing 05/26/2011 on BlogTalkRadio. See the details and set a reminder athttp://tobtr.com/s/1917115. RSVP to my facebook event:
Posted on WND.com-On May 25, 2011:
“Billionaire businessman Donald Trump, who staged a weeks-long public campaign questioning Barack Obama’s eligibility to be president during March and April – and rose to the top of the pool of potential candidates for the 2012 GOP nomination then as a result – says he believes the “birth certificate” released by the White House is forged.
His comments came yesterday in a telephone call to WND senior reporter Jerome Corsi, Ph.D., who is appearing on wall-to-wall radio programs – between 10 and 20 per day – to respond to questions about his latest best-seller, “Where’s the Birth Certificate? The Case That Barack Obama is Not Eligible to be President.”
Trump asked Corsi about the book, its evidence and what is happening next in the effort to document whether Obama is, in fact, constitutionally qualified for the presidency under Article 2, Section 1’s “natural born citizen” requirement.
Trump said his period of almost-complete silence on the issue following the release by the White House on April 27 of the image of a “Certificate of Live Birth” from the state of Hawaii was not because he was satisfied with the document.
“I always said I wanted to know if it was real,” Trump told Corsi.
The image has been challenged by a number of experts in the field, and the original, of course, has yet to be seen, much less analyzed.
The state of Hawaii said it inserted “safety paper” into a copy machine and copied onto the new paper the original image from its state records. However, state officials were unwilling to confirm to WND after the image was released that what was issued by the White House was, in fact, an accurate representation of their original records.
During their conversation, Trump told Corsi his own computer expert told him at the release that it was a computer-generated document.
That opinion has been repeated many times, and WND has reported on a few of the objections that have been raised by various experts:
- Ivan Zatkovich, of Tampa-based eComp Consultants, for example, analyzed the various layers in the PDF file released by the White House, and concluded: “The content clearly indicates that the document was knowingly and explicitly edited and modified before it was placed on the web.”
The image that was released, described by the White House as “proof positive” of Obama’s Hawaiian birth:
{…}
Zatkovich, with 28 years experience in computer science and document management and for more than 10 years an expert witness providing testimony in federal court in both criminal and civil litigation, said the multiple PDF document layers are unusual.
“When a paper document is scanned on a scanner and saved as a PDF file it normally contains only a single layer of graphical information. The PDF that appears on the White House website however, contains multiple layers of graphic information. Multiple layers usually appear in a document like this when it is being edited or modified in some fashion.
“It is possible to take a single layer PDF and inadvertently create multiple layers, without changing the image in any fashion. But that does not appear to be the case here. The multiple layers in the PDF document are a result of changes made to the image,” his report said.
Among the various items that were separated into different layers include the main text, the mother’s occupation, the dates accepted, the stamp and signature of the state registrar and the time stamp of the state registrar:
{…}
The background layer – with all of the additional layers removed – essentially has the text removed except some random portions of signatures and a white border where the text appears on other layers:
{…}
Also, the main layer of text reveals most of the wording on the document, with strange exceptions such as the first part of Stanley Ann Dunham Obama’s signature. The main text layer has only “unham Obama.” Likewise, “Kenya” is spelled “enya” and “Barack” is spelled Ba ack.”
{…}
- Secondly, Karl Denninger, the former of CEO of MCSNet, a Chicago networking and Internet company, said the presence of “kerning” in the text confirms manipulation.
Denninger posted a series of reports online, including on YouTube, where he explains his concerns, which focus around the lettering as it appears on the document that reportedly is a photocopy on green “safety paper” of the original record in Hawaii.
He explains that the type on the birth document show evidence of “kerning,” the squeezing of letters into a line so that they intrude into adjacent letter spaces. Kerning is routine since the advent of word processors and computers, but impossible with a typewriter.
“This process, of course, requires that you know what the next letter is. With a computer this is pretty easy, since the computer can retroactively go back and adjust, and it also can typeset the current letter with the knowledge of what the previous one was,” he reported. “A typewriter, on the other hand, is a mechanical device. It does not know what the next letter is that you will type, nor does it know what the last letter was that you typed. It thus has a typeface that alwaysleaves physical space between the boundary of each character.”
His full explanation is on video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eOfYwYyS_c&feature=player_embedded
“To refute this point you must come up with a typewriter that contains a flux capacitor and thus is capable of accurately predicting the future,” he said. “This document has been assembled by somebody on a computer.”
- Then there was a YouTube poster, who identified himself as orangegold1, and posted a video that claimed the White House either was ignorant in posting the document, or was submarined by someone inside the walls who wanted people to suspect the document.{…}
Perhaps most significant unresolved issues is that two weeks before Obama finally released his “long-form birth certificate,” Hawaii’s former Health Department chief Chiyome Fukino – the one official who claimed to have examined Obama’s original birth document – was interviewed by NBC News’ national investigative correspondent Michael Isikoff, who reported that Fukino told him she had seen the original birth certificate and that it was “half typed and half handwritten.”
However, the document released by the White House was entirely typed. Only the signatures and two dates at the very bottom were “handwritten.” What Fukino described is apparently a different document from what Obama released to the public.
Among other questions that remain about the document:
- The objectivity of “experts” cited by the mainstream media to verify the birth certificate is suspect, including that of Fox News Channel’s Jean-Claude Tremblay, who assured America they “should not be suspicious” of the document, but who, WND discovered, had heralded Obama’s election victory in an online post.
- Obama’s posted birth certificate contains the same anomalies as a well-known forgery that claimed he was born in Kenya, suggesting the anomalous markings came from the same source. “How could Obama’s ‘real’ birth certificate share these unique characteristics with an obvious forgery?” asks Farah. “For the life of me, I can’t figure out an answer other than they were created by the same person or persons.”
- The birth certificate’s reported delivering physician, Dr. David Sinclair, differs from previously published reportsand even the myth-busting Snopes.com’s original entry, which named Dr. Rodney T. West as the doctor of record.
- Obama’s purported birth certificate contains over a dozen differences in form from the verified, Hawaii copy of the birth certificate issued to the Nordyke twins, born the next day at the same reported hospital.
- The local registrar listed in the Nordyke twins’ birth certificate is notably different than the local registrar on the Obama birth certificate.
- Though Obama was born before the Nordyke twins, and though his birth was filed with the registrar three days before the twins’ birth, Obama’s purported birth certificate has a higher registration number.
- The age of Obama’s father, as listed on the document, conflicts with previously discovered documents about Barack Obama Sr.
- There are no notations on the document indicating Obama’s adoption by his Indonesian stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, as are often made – even replacing the name of the birth parents – when a child in the U.S. is adopted.
In addition, the SmokingGun.com website notes several irregularities with the Obama birth certificate that do not appear on the Nordyke twin’s birth certificates:
- In Box 3, “This Birth,” there are two “Xs” above “Twin” and “Triplet” – why are these “Xs” here and what do they signify?
{…}
- What is the meaning of the smudges in the Obama birth certificate in the box containing the name of the attending physician?
{…}
- What is the significance of the numbers, seen vertically, on the right side of the Obama birth certificate?
{…}
There are those Obama critics, too, who says that the document released by the White House, if authentic, actually proves Obama’s ineligibility. They cite the indication that Barack Obama Sr. was listed as the father, but he never was a U.S. citizen. They contend those who wrote the requirement for presidents to be a “natural born citizen” disqualified dual citizens at birth, such as Obama.
Obama Jr. himself even seemed to hold that position, suggesting in a resolution he co-sponsored to address Sen. John McCain’s status as a “natural born Citizen” that the status requires “American citizen” parents.
Listen to Corsi’s account of the conversation with Trump:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcvYsKKuwEM&feature=player_embedded
“I told him he needs to publicly say that the document in the vault, the original long-form birth certificate, needs to be exposed and examined independently,” Corsi said. “The doctor’s records, the Kapiolani records of Ann Dunham to corroborate she was in that hospital.”
“I told him if you don’t press these issues you can’t be surprised if there are those who think you’re working with Barack Obama [on the dispute],” Corsi added.
During much of April Trump made regular appearances on talk shows and news broadcasts, and almost every time either he or the interviewer raised questions about Obama’s eligibility. At the same time, he regularly was in conversation with Corsi and others who helped Corsi investigate the Obama eligibility dispute about the evidence that exists.
As a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll demonstrated, by raising questions about Obama’s eligibility repeatedly, going as far as suggesting Obama’s tenure might be illegal, Trump rose in popularity among GOP voters.
In that poll, 19 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents said they’d likely support Trump for the 2012 GOP nomination.
His support rose from only 10 percent just a month earlier.
WND has reported on Trump’s statements regarding Obama’s eligibility:
“There’s something fishy about the whole thing,” Trump has said of Obama’s background, birth story and constant refusal to release a wide range of documents that would reveal information about his heritage and upbringing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUKvoA-DbA4&feature=player_embedded
Trump has also been skeptical regarding the oft-cited 1961 Honolulu newspaper notices.
“I see so much fraud in this world, an ad like that could have been staged. I see so many fraudulent things going on that would be like the least of it,” Trump said.
He suggested it was incredible that no doctor, nurse or other person has come forward to recall the birth of such a famous person.
Trump told Fox News host Bill O’Reilly the significance of the dispute isn’t clear to many people.
Trump also was on MSNBC, where he was asked whether it was a serious issue:
{…}
“There is certainly a chance that he was not born in this country. Now if he was not born in this country, that means he can’t be president. It’s very simple,” Trump explained.”

Some confused people state that the entire world hates the U.S. If that is the case why are so many people trying to get in and so few are trying to get out? Or is that the propaganda of the left, the mentally challenged, the confused, the progressives who in actuality are regressives, or the immoral who do not know right from wrong and don't want to be confused by the facts since they have their minds made up. It seems that common sense has been replaced by confusion and confusion is the result of a profound lack of humility and obedience to the laws of God and an inability or disability to give Him love, praise and adoration.

By now most of us realize how Obamacare is designed to take control of healthcare decisions away from individuals and place them in the hands of bureaucrats. After all, Obama, Pelosi, and Reid understood that as government gains more control over healthcare, the politicians have even greater powers to “sell” favors by granting exceptions, waivers and special rules that favor their friends and those who will donate to their campaigns. This became all the more evident recently when 38 additional Obamacare waivers were granted to businesses in Nancy Pelosi’s district.
Unfortunately this level of institutionalized corruption in our Federal government has become commonplace. What isn’t as apparent is how Obamacare is designed to take money out of all of our wallets by enacting additional taxes and penalties. These taxes include increased Medicare taxes, penalties on plans the government feels offer to good of coverage, penalties on those who chose to not buy insurance and an excise tax on pharmaceutical companies.
1) Beginning in 2013, payroll taxes from Medicare will increase by 62% for households that the government has decided are “higher income”.
2) Similarly, Obamacare created a new 3.8% Medicare Tax on interest, dividends, royalties, rental income, capital gains, and annuities.

Had to have a 1st black President. Makes no difference what he stood for. Nobody cared.
Just had to prove we could have a 1/2 black President.
What would be have done if we had to vote for 1st female President. Elect her, why not?
Makes no difference what she believes in or how she will effect out lives.
How about the 1st Tranvestite President. Gott haveone of those.
And 1st Gay President. Gotta have a gay male gay President .
But if we have a male gay President, then we have to have the 1st female Lesbian President.
How about a 1/2 Black and 1/2 Spanish President. Would he/she be a "Blacktino" President.How about 1/2 White and 1/2 Black (Negro) Would that be a Wigro? Issues don't matter as long as we elect every mainstream or perverted group President.
!/2 White and 1/2 Donkey = Honkey!
Let's me more Political Correct! Nothing ever can offend anybody for any reason.
The Tea Party is a target for every left-wing, nutcase out there! Because we are winning the argument the liberal cabal will try to discredit, destroy or derail any and all of us. Liberal Rats sneak in as disguised Patriots only to loot and plunder.
However, remember, our Founding Fathers were hunted down and hung, shot and their families killed. Their farms burned and their fortunes spoiled.... and all we get is a few pieces of spam!?
If we weren't effective then why would the socialists waste their time on us?
So I suggest if you can't take the heat get the HELL out of the kitchen!
Suck it up and be a Patriot not a complaining loser. It is a 'fearful attitude' that got America in the trouble it is in now. Citizens afraid of being called racists, or getting spammed or lied about too often turn into cowards.
I've stood guard on the U.S./Mexican border many times, been shot at, my name dragged through the mud, a member of the Eichler family was killed by terrorists in the Twin Towers. My dear friend was murdered by an illegal alien when he was passing out Bibles in L.A. ...and all you got was a piece of sexual oriented spam and it shook you up?
You poor little weak citizen, go home to mama and hide under your bed.
So, if you don't have any guts, then please delete your page, crawl away and hide under a rock making room for the rest of us to Fight against such trash.

Posted on The Heritage Foundation-On May 21, 2011:
“Recently, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov stated that Russia might withdraw from New START—the strategic arms control agreement between the Russian Federation and the United States that entered into force on February 4—if the United States does not provide Moscow with a legally binding guarantee that the European Phased Adaptive Approach (the Obama Administration’s plan for protection of Europe) will not be targeted against Russia.
This is probably not what Lieutenant General Patrick O’Reilly, director of the Missile Defense Agency, had in mindwhen he testified about New START before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee: “There are no limitations in the treaty that affect our plans for developing missile defense,” he said. Indeed, Heritage’s research revealed numerous practical limitations of the U.S. missile defense options, including test target missiles and the conversion of ICBM silos into missile defense launchers.
The Russian approach defies logic. The missile defense system in Europe would intercept and destroy ballistic missiles already launched toward its victims. If the Russians believe that U.S. and allied operation of a missile defense system will pose a threat to them, they likely think they need to threaten both with a missile attack. If this is the basis of Russian thinking, then this negotiation is about anything but cooperation.
Additionally, the Russian Duma’s New START ratification law contains provisions that are diametrically opposed to those adopted by the United States. The Senate’s resolution of ratification states that the treaty imposes no limits on missile defense deployments (outside a narrow provision in Article V) and that the language on missile defense in the treaty’s preamble is not legally binding. It is clear that there is no meeting of the minds on missile defense between the parties to this treaty.
The treaty is clearly becoming another means to escalate the tension between the two countries, emphasize the differences between their strategic postures, restrict U.S. ballistic missile defense plans, and prevent further cooperation. The Russian bellicose statements do not give much hope for a “reset” in the relationship.
It is also essential not to buckle to Russian demands for operational control of the missile defense system. Any agreement to do so would only perpetuate U.S. and allied vulnerability to missile attack, because it appears that the Russians are making this demand in order to block effective operation of the system, not to enhance cooperative missile defense capabilities.
Genuine cooperation in the realm of missile defense is about the United States, its allies, and Russia standing together to oppose aggression by rogue states through the use of ballistic missiles.”

Top 10 Obama Foreign Policy Flubs!-Posted on Human Events-By Human Events-On May 21, 2011:
“Barack Obama brought to the presidency the foreign policy experience of a community organizer, that is to say, none. And it shows. If there is such a thing as an Obama Doctrine, it might be this: React slowly to a foreign crisis and, in a conflict, pick a side hostile to U.S. interests. Here are the Top 10 Obama Foreign Policy Flubs:
1. Libya: NATO’s Obama-backed Libyan excursion is entering its third month with no end in sight, as Muammar Gaddafi and the ill-trained and ill-equipped rebel forces battle to a stalemate. Without the U.S. taking the dominant military lead, NATO’s feeble effort is exposing a shocking weakness in the military alliance. And Obama still hasn’t explained why Gaddafi’s troops shooting into crowds warrants retribution, while Syrian President Bashar al-Assad can do the same with impunity. What an ill-conceived effort, with no real leadership and no clear goals.
2. Iran: In 2009, when Tehran protesters looked to Washington for help, Obama offered little support as he held on to the dream that his magical words could sway Iran’s Islamist leaders. His naive stance snubbed the masses of people hoping for democratic reform while ensuring that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will continue his march to make Iran a nuclear power.
3. Egypt: First, Vice President Joe Biden says longtime U.S. ally Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is not a dictator, then the administration calls for him to step aside. By withdrawing support for Mubarak, Obama sent shock waves to other U.S. allies in the Middle East—including oil-rich Saudi Arabia and Bahrain—and gave an opening for the Muslim Brotherhood to rise to power.
4. The Dollar: Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke’s policy of qualitative easing is eroding the dollar while encouraging inflation. International holders of U.S. dollars are not pleased to see the drop, spurring talk of a different currency to dominate the world’s financial system. Along with the Obama deficits, America’s creditworthiness is in question.
5. Israel: Obama’s speech seeking a return to Israel’s 1967 borders undercut America’s only reliable ally in the region. His attempt to broker any kind of accord between Israel and the Palestinians is in disarray. His special envoy George Mitchell just resigned and Israel is rightfully concerned with Obama’s hard-line on Israeli borders and his fondness for the Arab world. And with the “Arab Spring” possibly sweeping Islamists into power, Israel will be further isolated in the region.
6. Global organizations: By ceding power to the United Nations, International Monetary Fund and other international organizations, Obama is undermining America’s sovereignty. The Libyan military action is a case in point, approved by the UN and not by Congress. And with the IMF funneling billions of U.S. tax dollars to bail out debt-ridden countries, one wonders if the idea of a One World Government is becoming a reality.
7. Brazil oil: It was bad enough when Obama pulled the plug on oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. But after oil companies sent their drilling rigs to Brazil, Obama said, “We want to be one of your best customers,” and announced plans to lend billions to the state-owned oil company to drill off the coast of Brazil. Memo to President Obama: There are plenty of oil resources in the United States that, if tapped, could create jobs and lessen dependence on foreign oil.
8. Pakistan: This supposed U.S. ally has consistently undermined U.S. anti-terror efforts, as its intelligence service seemingly is supportive of anti-American jihadists. Pakistan either allowed safe harbor for Osama bin Laden or was totally incompetent despite billions of dollars of U.S. aid. The mixed signals from the Obama administration following the Osama bin Laden raid only further damaged the relationship with Pakistan.
9. Russia: Obama’s clumsy attempt to push the reset button with Russia had the U.S. making concessions on missile defense and nuclear arms without gaining anything in return. Instead of moving closer to the U.S., Russia is aligning with China, Brazil, India and other developing nations on key issues.
10. Apologizing: Obama’s apology tour shortly after taking office sent the message that he didn’t really think all that highly about America. Not only wasn’t America exceptional, but it was guilty of heinous offenses. No thank you, Mr. President, for your apologies. As Memorial Day approaches and we honor those who died for our country, we can be proud of the causes they served.”

WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!
The following is Jim Cramer's, of the Mad Money TV Show, wish list for a stock market rally which translates into a healthier economy for the next several years.
Certain things need to be done for the stock market to rally, Cramer said Monday. So the “Mad Money” host created a “wish list” that he believes will pull the market out of its slump.
First, Cramer wishes Greece would default. He thinks its debt troubles are impeding the world's economic recovery. The Band-Aid approach isn't working, he complained. “It’s time for Europe to take the medicine and get with the program," he said.
Second, Cramer would like the U.S. government to force the exchanges to raise the margin requirements on oil, which could immediately send oil prices down.
Third, Cramer wants China to recognize that inflation isn’t as important as the slowdown that’s being
engineered by its central bank, he said.
Fourth, Cramer hopes the U.S. government would take advantage of the low long-term interest rates and
refinance its debt.
Fifth, Cramer said the U.S. government should recognize that the glut in natural gas is a great opportunity.
By forcing trucks to switch from diesel fuel to liquefied natural gas, the government could effectively choke off OPEC.
Sixth, Cramer wishes stocks would trade to levels that their values suggest. If that were to happen, stocks could again become accidental high-yielders. Most stocks have further to fall, though. And what about the social media bubble that began last week? Cramer would like the underwriters who under-priced
LinkedIn [LNKD 95.45 
7.15 (+8.1%) to be castigated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Eighth, Cramer wants people to stop trashing Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, who he believes is
single-handedly keeping the U.S. economy afloat.
Ninth, Cramer would like stocks that are now trading in the triple digits to split. This would make them more stable and accessible to home gamers.
Finally, Cramer wishes President Obama would tell Congress there is no recess until it raises the debt ceiling
and agrees on spending cuts. If that debt agreement is reached, Cramer said, “The world is ours to win."
WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!
After hearing Obama say he supported the Muslim Brotherhood’s position of Israel giving back the last of the occupied territory they took in the 6 day war with Islam (they already gave back to Egypt the biggest part of what they won in the war), and hearing Netanyahu, Israel’s head honcho say, “it isn’t going to happen,” I’m forced to ask the religious, since you cannot possibly know a supernatural god, how do you determine what God wants? It appears that Barack Hussein wants what his Kenyan father wanted. At any rate, no other American president has wanted what Barack wants for America, which brings me to ask what America wants.
People of all faiths live in peace in Israel. They don’t want a change. Why should Americans want a change? The conflict in which Obama has taken sides, religious and based on a supernatural god that can be anything the perpetrators want God to be, for instance, Obama’s god, for collective salvation, which happens to be what the Muslim Brotherhood wants—they can argue about their differences after their common enemy, Israel, is gone—after the United States of America is gone, too; after the world is a “global village,” one big social welfare state sharing and sharing alike, under the force of Sharia law. Wonderful! I’m so happy to know that we will all be sharing equally in hopeless poverty while Barack Hussein jets around the world showing toothy smiles, throwing lavish parties, and plays golf.
How do you like, Barack’s idea of going back in time, worshiping a supernatural god you cannot possibly know, who commands through special earthbound representatives with great power. The prophet Mohammad was one. He forced a nine year-old girl to marry him. In the United States, we call it pedophilia. As if it were God’s will, Muslim men still practice pedophilia. To the majority of Muslim men, women have few if any rights, and yet dare to call the United States “the Great Satin.”
If God created man with reason and logic, why would man act in such disgraceful, inhuman ways? Clearly, it is because the supernatural god can be anything man says god is. And we the people are on the Yellow Brick Road. It amazes me. The world, either believing in no god or in a supernatural god, is consistenely being led into war by egomaniacs like Obama. How could the masses be so bewitched?
The cutting edge of science has smuggled God into physics, has scientifically proven God, yet less than one-tenth or one percent of the world’s population knows what science has now proven about God. In In The Physics of Consciousness by quantum physicist Evan Harris Walker, we read that the independence of matter and the absoluteness of space is false dogma. Last night on the History Channel backing this notion, I was informed that science has optically observed that the entire universe is a connected fabric. The astonishing fact is that the same exists in the microcosmic. Science has developed its own creed, thus tormenting the religious orthodoxy.
Too bad about the fact that science is proving beyond question that we exist as something more than matter. On the History Channel, we learned last night that not only is Earth in the right location in the solar system for life as we know it to exist, but also in our galaxy in the right location. Life as we know it is something uncommon. So why waste it?
The tests of Bell’s theorem have shown us that objective reality does not exist. So what’s that you say, Obama? What this means is that science has proven Marxism is unnatural, has never, and can never succeed. The observer interacts with matter. Science now has the instruments to fit the universe into a tapestry of reality, reminding me that in James Allen’s As a Man Thinketh—“As a being of power, Intelligence and Love, and the lord of his own thoughts, man holds the key to every situation, and contains within himself that transforming and regenerative agency by which may make himself what he wills”—science has now proven man’s will is the fundamental reason we are here.
To Christians I would point out that in the Gospel According to St. Matthew, Chapter 2, beginning with the Visit of the Magi, “came wise men from the east,” Persian astrologers following the Star of Bethlehem to worship the “King of the Jews”—mind you, not the religion, no way—Jesus had a problem with the religion, he turned over the money changers’ tables, the source of the priests’ wealth. Unbelievably, a murderer, Barabbas, was turned lose, we find. Jesus took his place on the cross. Why? The priests, no question about it, were responsible for the torture and death of Jesus. So what else is new? They turn it around and make us feel guilty.
To continue, turning to Chapter 6 in Matthew, we learn that in his Sermon on the Mount Jesus said, “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kindom come. Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven.” Jesus said, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God. . .” Where is heaven? We assume he meant the kingdom of God, distinguished from the kingdom of heaven, is internal. We assume that while “in earth and in heaven,” our souls immortal, we better look within if we know what’s good for us. For who knows better, Obama, the priesthood, or you and I? I’ll take scientific proof. As a matter of fact, scientific proof matches what ancient Persian and Indian sages said: so is the microcosmic, so is the macrocosmic.
After thinking on all of the above, and acting, if my life could be any better, I don’t know how. I assume that my thoughts are what brought me my good life. I’m finding that many agree with me. What did I say? There is no such thing as objectivity. You don’t look to the orthodoxy, my friends. You look within for God and guidance.

“JERUSALEM – In his major address on the Middle East last week, did President Obama quote from the centerpiece of radical community organizer Saul Alinsky’s defining work?
While hailing the Arab uprisings sweeping the Middle East and North Africa, Obama laid out his foreign policy using terminology strikingly similar to Alinsky’s mantra.
“There must be no doubt that the United States of America welcomes change that advances self-determination and opportunity,” Obama stated. “Yes, there will be perils that accompany this moment of promise. But after decades of accepting the world as it is in the region, we have a chance to pursue the world as it should be.”
One of Alinsky’s major themes was contrasting how the world “is” and how “it should be.”
In his defining work, “Rules for Radicals,” which he dedicated to “the first rebel,” Lucifer, Alinsky used those words to lay out his main agenda – that radical change must be brought about by working within a system instead of attacking a system from the outside.
“It is necessary to begin where the world is if we are going to change it to what we think it should be. That means working in the system,” wrote Alinsky.
This is not the first time Obama used that phraseology.
In an April 2009 talk to a London girl’s school, the First Lady recalled that, on her first date with Barack Obama, he took her to a “community meeting” and taught her about the world “as it is” and “as it should be.”
“As he talked to the residents in that community center, he talked about two concepts,” she stated. “He talked about ‘the world as it is’ and ‘the world as it should be.’ And I talked about this throughout the entire campaign.”
Alinsky’s ideology is not foreign to Obama. The politician started his career as an Alinsky-style community organizer in Chicago.
WND first reported the executive director of an activist organization that taught Alinsky’s tactics of direct action, confrontation and intimidation was part of the team that developed volunteers for President Obama’s 2008 campaign.
Jackie Kendall, executive director of the Midwest Academy, was on the team that developed and delivered the first Camp Obama training for volunteers aiding Obama’s campaign through the 2008 Iowa Caucuses.
Camp Obama was a two-to-four day intensive course run in conjunction with Obama’s campaign aimed at training volunteers to become activists to help Obama win the presidential election.
WND also reported The Woods Fund, a nonprofit on which Obama served as paid director from 1999 to December 2002, provided capital to the Midwest Academy.
Obama sat on the Woods Fund board alongside William Ayers, founder of the Weather Underground domestic terrorist organization.
Also, in 1998, Obama participated on a panel discussion praising Alinsky alongside Midwest Academy’s founder Heather Booth, an organizer and dedicated disciple of Alinsky.
The panel discussion following the opening performance in Chicago of the play “The Love Song of Saul Alinsky,” a work described by the Chicago Sun-Times as “bringing to life one of America’s greatest community organizers.”
Obama participated in the discussion alongside other Alinskyites, including Booth, political analyst Aaron Freeman, Don Turner of the Chicago Federation of Labor and Northwestern University history professor Charles Paine.
“Alinsky had so much fire burning within,” stated local actor Gary Houston, who portrayed Alinsky in the play. “There was a lot of complexity to him. Yet he was a really cool character.”
In a letter to the editor of the Boston Globe, Alinsky’s son praised Obama for stirring up the masses at the 2008 Democratic National Convention “Saul Alinsky style,” saying, “Obama learned his lesson well.”
The letter, signed L. David Alinsky, closed with, “I am proud to see that my father’s model for organizing is being applied successfully.”
‘Communist fellow traveler’:
Former 1960s radical and FrontPageMagazine Editor David Horowitz describes Alinsky as the “communist/Marxist fellow-traveler who helped establish the dual political tactics of confrontation and infiltration that characterized the 1960s and have remained central to all subsequent revolutionary movements in the United States.”
Horowitz writes in his 2009 pamphlet “Barack Obama’s Rules for Revolution. The Alinsky Model”: “The strategy of working within the system until you can accumulate enough power to destroy it was what ‘60s radicals called ‘boring from within.’ … Like termites, they set about to eat away at the foundations of the building in expectation that one day they could cause it to collapse.”
