It's one week into President Obama's term and his arch nemesis isn't Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), House Minority Leader John Boehner (Ohio) or even one of the myriad candidates interested in challenging him in 2012.

It's conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh.

Limbaugh drew huge coverage in the days leading up to Obama's inauguration when he declared that he hoped the new president would fail -- part of a broader condemnation of liberalism in the country.

Obama upped the ante late last week when in a private meeting with Republicans he referenced Limbaugh's brand of politics as a big reason why major legislation hadn't been passed in years.

Then on Monday, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs offered another sly provocation of Limbaugh; asked to expand on Obama's comments about the talk show host, Gibbs demurred and then added: "Tell [Rush] I said hi."

Not surprisingly, Limbaugh took the bait. Of Obama, he said: "He's obviously more frightened of me than he is Mitch McConnell. He's more frightened of me, then he is of say, John Boehner, which doesn't say much about our party."

All of the back and forth between Limbaugh and Obama comes just days before the members of the Republican National Committee gather in Washington to elect the organization's next chairman -- a race that has been badly overshadowed by the first days of Obama's presidency.

"The party is in transition," said Ed Rogers, a Republican lobbyist and close ally of Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour. "Our leaders have not found their voice or direction....Limbaugh is filling a vacuum in a world that requires a constant media counter-point."

While there is nearly unanimous agreement with Rogers's sentiment that Limbaugh is filling a void left by the departure of former President George W. Bush from the scene, whether that is a good or a bad thing remains a point of considerable contention among party strategists.

"Rush is a double-edged sword, he cuts both ways" said Phil Musser, a Republican consultant and former executive director of the Republican Governors Association. "Sometimes you love him, sometimes you cringe at his impolitic (he'd say honest) fusillados."

John Weaver, a former senior aide to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), said that Republicans must be careful not to allow their Democratic rivals to paint them all with the brush of Limbaugh.

"The Democrats and the far left will do all they can to grab electoral turf," said Weaver. "And one sure way to do it is take some of the most controversial voices on the extreme right -- like Limbaugh and [Alaska Gov. Sarah] Palin -- and try to insist they speak for all members of the center/right movement."

Democrats are even Limbaugh to raise money. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee sent out an email to supporters yesterday urging them to "Stand Strong Against Rush Limbaugh" by donating to the House campaign arm. "Limbaugh's cheap shot at President Obama might be the first by the Republican attack machine this year but we know that it won't be the last," wrote DCCC executive director Brian Wolff.

Whether Limbaugh continues to play as prominent a role as the GOP attack dog against Obama remains to be seen. If history is any guide, he will. Limbaugh -- along with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (Ga.) -- is credited with leading the Republican revolt that brought about the 1994 wave election and his near-constant agitation against former President Bill Clinton is well-known.

Put simply: Limbaugh isn't going anywhere any time soon. And his voice -- and influence -- may well get stronger with the GOP out of power. Is that a good thing or a bad thing for Republicans? Time will tell.

There was a story on the noon news today, it seems a girl working at a Lowe's back east was fired because she was wearing a button that said "It's called Christmas, for Christ's sake".

I emailed them and told them it's a good reason to start shopping at Home Depot.

Shame on Lowe's.

Open Letter - Request to refile Petition Lightfoot v Bowen with chief Justice John Roberts Posted by CalperniaUSA at 12/21/2008 11:30 AM and is filed under SCOTUS

Cover Letter

Request to refile Petition Lightfoot v Bowen with chief Justice John Roberts

 

Dear Justice Roberts,

 

This is an open cover letter and it is being posted on the Internet, you-tube and will be read on a number of radio stations, particularly radio stations around military bases, forwarded to Congress, Senate, Governors of the States and mass media. This legal action, as 20 other actions filed in the past few months is seeking Judicial intervention due to the fact that Mr. Barack Obama, whose father was a Kenyan- British citizen, is not a Natural Born Citizen and is not eligible to be the President of this country. It also states, that Mr. Obama did not prove his citizenship at all, since the state of Hawaii allows issuance of Hawaiian Birth certificates to foreign born children of Hawaiian residents and there is mounting evidence that Mr. Obama was not born in Hawaii, whereby he will not be a citizen at all.  The Plaintiffs in this action are a vice-presidential candidate on the ballot, electors and voters. Majority of the plaintiffs have served years of their lives in the US military and risked their lives, pursuant to their oath to defend the Constitution of this country against all enemies, foreign and domestic. The plaintiffs and other members of the US military are deeply concerned about the fact that none of the cases related to Mr. Obama’s lack of eligibility  was heard on the merits.

 

 

The plaintiffs are also concerned about the following: You have recorded a program “Conversations with Chief Justice Roberts”. Numerous high schools students were flown in to DC and participated in discussion about the Constitution, law and the Supreme Court with you. This program was fully funded by the Annenberg foundation, is it clearly states on the video released, and it appears that as a Chief Justice of the Supreme court you consider Annenberg to be a reputable organization, supporting the Constitution and you support their efforts. The problem with it, is that Annenberg has been employing on their Annenberg Challenge board William Ayers, a non-repentant terrorist that participated in bombing of police headquarters in 1970, Capitol building in 1971 and Pentagon in 1972. As late as 2001, Mr. Ayers stated in NY times interview: “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel I didn’t do enough”.    From 1995 the chairman of Annenberg Challenge was none else, but Mr. Barack Obama. Annenberg has created an offshoot, called Factcheck.org, Annenberg political Fact check, that was supposed to provide unbiased fact check. In reality Annenberg fact check has actively and intentionally defrauded American public in letting them to believe that Mr. Obama is a Natural born citizen and eligible for US presidency. Annenberg fact check intentionally omitted

 

Definition of Law of Nations (Emmerich De Vettel), stating that natural born citizen is one that is born in the country to parents, that are citizens. They omitted statement by John A Bingham, framer of the 14th amendment, stating that a natural born citizen is one that was born in the US territory to parents that don’t owe alliance to any other sovereignty. Due to the fact that Mr. Obama’s father was not a US citizen and owed allegiance to Kenya and Great Britain,  Mr. Obama did not qualify as a natural born citizen and does not qualify for presidency.
Fact check intentionally omitted Hawaii statue 338, that allows foreign born children of Hawaiian residence to obtain a Hawaiian certification of live birth
It omitted the fact that such certification can be obtained based on a statement of one relative only without any corroborating evidence.
It omitted the fact that there was no corroborating evidence of Mr. Obama’s birth from any hospital, nurse or hospital administrator from Hawaii, while there were numerous statements from Mr. Obama’s Kenyan grandmother, Baptist Bishop and ambassador of Kenya about Mr. Obama being born there. If that is the case, Mr. Obama is not a US citizen and will need to go back to Kenya to wait for his Green Card.
 

As of now American public has only information from Annenberg, a political organization, some of whose members have very questionable moral qualities (to say the least).

 

My clients, as well as 300 million American, including thousands of members of the military, that are asked to give their lives to defend the Constitution of this country, would like to know, if the Supreme Court Justices, particularly chief Justice Roberts, (that needs to swear the President on the bible), are willing to give a few hours of their time to hear the Oral Argument in defense of this Constitution. They want to know if the justices believe in the Constitution on which this country was built, whether they are prepared to tear it apart in favor of some new world order, conceived by a few billionaires, Trilateral commission and the Bielderberg Group.

 

Sincerely,

 

 Dr. Orly Taitz, ESQ

I wonder what kind of deal Obama worked out with the Kenyan government to keep his birthplace quiet....

 

What do you make of the Kenyan government banning contact between Obama's family and the press? (1231 votes)

It's further evidence the government of Kenya is cooperating in the cover-up of Obama's true birthplace 85% (1049)

If Obama cherished the God-given liberties behind the First Amendment, he would speak out against this government abuse of his relatives' free speech rights 9% (115)

The Obama clan is losing its freedom to speak because the government sees them as a money maker for the country 2% (23)

This is just a way for corrupt petty bureaucrats to demand bribes 1% (12)

Kenya is a sovereign nation and can do as it pleases 1% (10)

Other 1% (9)

I'm not sure whether it is the "government" or overzealous bureaucrats protecting their turf who imposed this gag order 1% (7)

Obama's victory is a source of pride for Kenya - it's understandable the government would want to end the media's unfounded rumor-mongering 0% (3)

I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding 0% (1)

The government is investing a lot of money in the Obama Cultural Home project and it rightly wants to keep it untarnished by squabbling relatives talking to reporters 0% (1)

This isn't about the Obamas - it's the result of the government's crackdown on the press in general 0% (1)

SAN FRANCISCO —  Some same-sex marriage supporters are urging people to "call in gay" Wednesday to show how much the country relies on gays and lesbians, but others question whether it's wise to encourage skipping work given the nation's economic distress.

Organizers of "Day Without a Gay" — scheduled to coincide with International Human Rights Day and modeled after similar work stoppages by Latino immigrants — also are encouraging people to perform volunteer work and refrain from spending money.

Sean Hetherington, a West Hollywood comedian and personal trainer, dreamed up the idea with his boyfriend, Aaron Hartzler, after reading online that a few angry gay-rights activists were calling for a daylong strike to protest California voters' passage last month of Proposition 8, which reversed this year's state Supreme Court decision allowing gay marriage.

Don't these fools get it that people don't approve of their lifestyle and the smart thing to do would be to keep their mouths shut (pun?)  and quit trying to push their perversion?

Last month, National University of Lesotho scientists released the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer. Men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption. The theory is that beer contains female hormones (hops contain phytoestrogens) and that by drinking enough beer, men turn into women.. 

To test the theory, 100 men drank 8 pints of beer each within a 1 hour period. 

It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects :
1) Argued over nothing.
2) Refused to apologize when obviously wrong.
3) Gained weight.
4) Talked excessively without making sense.
5) Became overly emotional.
6) Couldn't drive.
7) Failed to think rationally.
8) Had to sit down while urinating. 

No further testing was considered necessary

Who here would not just be ecstatic to be paid a million dollars for a year's work, no matter what it was?

Why do these CEO's think they are worth so much?

Why do our elected "leaders" blow the taxpayers money so mindlessly, while they keep raking in the bucks?

Wouldn't a million dollars cure your worries for life?

Looks like Obama's "Pastor" Jeremiah is not only a racist, he's a hypocrit, too. He's been having an affair with a 37 year old woman who was a secretary to one of his "disciples". This ended in her divorce, she was fired when the affair became public.

Oh, and she's white.

The Mexican cartels have given permission for their hit teams to come into the US to take out targets.

What more motivation do our elected "leaders" need to secure our borders? How many innocent Americans need to get killed in the crossfire of these anal orifices does it take to get the attention of our "elected "leaders" (term used loosely)?
