Time for More Obama Silliness
Today in Washington, D.C. - April 27, 2011
Today, President Barack Obama took about seven minutes to release his "supposed' "birth certificate or correctly stated "Certificate of Live Birth." He used "the time" to complain about "not having time" for "this silliness" or "carnival bankers." Obama has found lots of time for "silliness" in his activities while serving as president. It has been clearly documented by the press that he has lots of time for recreation and perpetual campaigning. Addressing the concerns of America because of a constitutional requirement is far from silliness. He could have eliminated this concern long ago.
Unfortunately doubt continues because of his past actions. It is hard to fathom why a President would spend so much money and time preventing American citizens from seeing the certificate. Obama said he would be the most transparent president in history. By not releasing a valid certificate, we see another example of Obama's willingness to waste other people's money to support is own agenda. His other actions to date belie his efforts to claim that he has real concern for America. While Donald Trump may not become a candidate, he showed that he could force a topic to center stage.
Kay Daly on Fresh Ink summed up the Obama "silliness" as follows. "What I find far more interesting than the documents is the reaction from Dear Leader. Did you catch this press briefing? He was sputtering. He wanted to get back to the important business of this nation and he didn't have time for this.....it was quite a rant. And then he got onto Marine One to hop over to Air Force One to appear on Oprah and raise money in Chicago. Cause that is what America needs right now. A fundraiser, a world traveler, someone who knows a good party when he sees it and attends it no matter the distance from home or time away from the office, a heck of a basketball brackets picker, golfer, basketball player and professional vacationer. For four more years, a modern day Nero who fiddles as Rome burns."
The Washington Post reports today, “Republican senators are asking President Obama to drop plans to sign an executive order forcing government contractors to disclose donations to groups participating in political activities, saying the White House shouldn’t use a company’s political history to determine if they’re eligible for government work. A draft proposal on the issue is under review and White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said last week that Obama believes taxpayers deserve to know how contractors are spending money they’ve earned from the government. . . . Many Republicans however believe that the move could allow the White House to muzzle political critics. And now they want to know exactly how Obama would go about reviewing a contractor’s political history.”
“Doing so,” The Post reports, “‘could have a chilling effect on the First Amendment rights of individuals to contribute to the political causes or candidates of their choice,’ according to a letter written by Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and signed by 24 other GOP senators. ‘Political activity would obviously be chilled if prospective contractors have to fear that their livelihood could be threatened if the causes they support are disfavored by the Administration.’
“‘No White House should be able to review your political party affiliation or the causes you support before deciding if you are worthy of a government contract,’ the senators write in a letter set for delivery today. ‘And no Americans should have to worry about whether their political activities or support will affect their ability to get or keep a federal contract or their job.’”
Indeed, The U.S. Chamber of Commerce wrote on its ChamberPost blog last week, “The order doesn’t stop with the business itself; it extends to the political spending of the officers and directors as well. In other words, the Obama Administration believes determining one's political leanings is a prerequisite for determining the qualifications of a company to do business with the government.”
Former FEC Commissioner Hans von Spakovsky summed up well what the White House is doing in his report that broke the news of the proposed executive order last week: “With this proposed Executive Order, the administration is engaging in a back-door maneuver that promotes transparency only in the form of transparent political gamesmanship. It’s an alarming proposal that should raise great concern among members of Congress and the American public.”
As the Chamber of Commerce wrote, “Political litmus tests have no business in determining what companies will most responsibly serve the public interest.”
President Obama, it is time to stop "Your Silliness."

" MAKAHAYAN SAYS "
" LET ME BE THE FIRST TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO ".
MORE THAN 2 YEARS AGO I PREDICTED THAT THE DEMONCRATIC OBOTS WOULD INVENT A PAPER WHICH THEY COULD ATTEMPT TO PASS OFF AS A LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE FOR OBUMMER. NOW YOU HAVE IT ~ THE VERY THING I TOLD YOU ABOUT .
THE INK IS STILL WET ON THIS PIECE OF TOILET PAPER, AND THE PAPER IS SO NEW THAT IT CURLS UP ON THE LEFT END, HIDING SOME OF THE INFORMATION . MISTER TRUMP IS RIGHT~
THIS TOO MUST BE INSPECTED VERY CLOSELY AND PROVEN TO BE ANOTHER FAKE, FRAUD, FORGED, PHOTOSHOPPED ZERO .
You know, it was quite amusing to hear Obama say, "We don't have time for this silliness..." But then, right after that press conference, he jets off to Chicago to tape an Oprah episode.
Dean, Exactly! And the more they play it on the new, The View, etc. - the more obvious it becomes.
