Presidential Accountability
How many of us are aware of what is currently taking place in the State of Georgia? I have a fair idea since our media has remained mum on the entire affair. Accounts from a NBC affiliate, WLTZ 38 News, located in Columbus Georgia report that a hearing concluded on January 26th which aimed at establishing whether President Obama can be on the 2012 Georgia Presidential ballot.
Seems that a complaint challenged the President’s citizenship; not based upon his birth certificate but rather questioning whether he meets the Constitution’s “natural born citizen” qualification. It seems that his father was never an American citizen and as such, disqualifies Obama from that State’s Presidential ballot in 2012. As a matter of fact, this should disqualify Obama period!
Immediately, questions arise from all quarters. Why now? Who or what authorized his 2008 candidacy? Where were the media snoop dogs? Considering that they found their way to far off Alaska, why was a sitting Senator’s resume so difficult to ascertain? And of course, with all this never ending furor over his birth certs, how did these “no stone left unturned” sleuths miss such a fundamental question? And of course today’s query; where is the media?
This lack of coverage or should I say this total blackout, smacks of government control and media pandering. While all agencies are busy with this Romney “landslide,” the November election might be faced with a huge overhaul from a democratic perspective. I came across this news on Friday, the 27th and I felt compelled to share it with the American people.
On the heels of that news shocker, the shock being that this issue of “natural born” actually made it into a courtroom, how about the follow up headline, OBAMA ELIGIBILITY CHALLENGES SPREAD TO 6 STATES? Folks, this is not an inconsequential news bit. This should be blasting off the airwaves and it isn’t! This is indisputable proof that our media shares with the public what subject matter it deems proper for public consumption. From an information standpoint, we are being led to the slaughter because of our ignorance.
Consider this; the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision from its 1875 Minor v Happersett defined a “natural born citizen” as being born from parents who were both American citizens at the time of the birth. Our own U.S. State Dept. confirms that Obama himself has admitted that his father was not an American citizen. Case closed.
In addition to Georgia, this issue is gaining attention in Alabama, Tennessee, Arizona, New Hampshire and of all places, Illinois.
If in fact Obama is not permitted on the Georgia ballot, I would think that would pose serious questions as to his current legitimacy, let alone his re-election bid. It may also present a very serious challenge to all his major policies since his Presidency would come under legal scrutiny.
In closing, I still am amazed at the audacity of Obama’s circus. He, above all others, knew from the start that he was not qualified yet he bamboozled and schmoozed his way through the campaign and three years in office. Talk about a sting! Now, I for one can understand the grandiose vacations and elaborate festivities. It appears now as nothing more than an extravagant roller coaster ride which came close to fundamentally changing America.
One note of caution. I hope I am not putting the cart in front of the horse. Its been said, “never say never” but the facts in this case seem irrefutable. There can only be one conclusion. Still, I hope since “seeing is believing!”
