GOPDD: If It’s Real – Obama’s Foreign Student Columbia ID Surfaces



Barack Obama has long claimed that he attended Columbia University, although you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone from that period knows him or remembers having had a class with him.
Even Wayne Allyn Root, the 2008 Libertarian party’s vice presidential candidate, who would have been Obama’s classmate, had this to say, “If anyone should have questions about Obama’s record at Columbia University, it’s me. We both graduated (according to Obama) Columbia University, Class of ’83. We were both (according to Obama) Pre-Law and Political Science majors. And I thought I knew most everyone at Columbia. I certainly thought I’d heard of all of my fellow Political Science majors. But not Obama (or as he was known then- Barry Soetoro). I never met him. Never saw him. Never even heard of him. And none of the classmates that I knew at Columbia has ever met him, saw him, or heard of him. –
Root’s statement seems pretty explicit, but now, new evidence has surfaced that would indicate Mr. Obama did in fact attend Columbia. Actually, that would be more correctly stated as Mr. Soetoro attending.  A copy of an identification card has been going viral around the internet.
It would seem to put to rest the notion that the American president didn’t attend Columbia. But the card clearly says “Foreign Student” under Mr. Soetoro’s name and photograph.  If Obama is a foreigner, how can he be the American president?
Did another piece of evidence just arise to be added to the reams of documents proving that the current occupant of the White House is a fraud?
Well, this will certainly need to be swept under the nearest rug as quickly as possible. We can’t have any disruption to the socialist agenda happening just prior to the State of the Union Address.
If it is a Photoshop creation, is it less legitimate than the PhotoShopped images created and circulated by the administration? Will Obama aka Soetoro now have to deny he attended Columbia?
What if people learned the guy destroying their country really is a foreigner, just like all those “crazy birthers” have claimed all along? What if rather than a mere dismissal as illegitimate claims, a real investigation was conducted?
Then we’d have a defeat for the gradual implementation of tyranny which is the coup presently underway in America and a victory for the Constitution and patriotic Americans.
Will America stand up? That’s the question.

Here we go, again.
With Barack Obama’s popularity plummeting in the polls, it was only a matter of time before he played the race card – as he has been doing throughout his public life.
This is a guy who twice, for better or worse, was elected president of the United States.
He’s still doing it.
If you don’t like him, you must be a racist. You must just not like the idea of a black president.

“There’s no doubt that there’s some folks who just really dislike me because they don’t like the idea of a black president.”

– Barack Obama in New Yorker interview
Here we go, again.
With Barack Obama’s popularity plummeting in the polls, it was only a matter of time before he played the race card – as he has been doing throughout his public life.
This is a guy who twice, for better or worse, was elected president of the United States.

Experience more of Joseph Farah’s no-nonsense truth-telling in his books, audio and video products, featured in the WND Superstore
It can’t possibly have anything to do with the following:
  • He repeatedly lied frequently, easily, unflinchingly about his signature piece of legislation, Obamacare – proclaiming that Americans would pay less for health insurance, would keep their doctor and could keep their plans.
  • He and his entire administration lied about Benghazi – blaming the unnecessary deaths of four Americans on a YouTube video instead of their own incompetence or negligence.
  • He oversaw the worst political abuse of the Internal Revenue Service in the history of the agency – and is now setting out to change IRS regulations to make the harassment of political adversaries the official policy of the future.
  • The economy is in shambles with more than 90 million Americans out of work.
Of course it doesn’t have anything to do with that.
In his interview with the New Yorker, Obama revealed he is more than a liar and a crook and an incompetent. It turns out he’s delusional.
What do I mean?
Listen to what Obama thinks are his first-term accomplishments:
  • the economic rescue;
  • 44 straight months of job growth;
  • a reduction in carbon emissions;
  • a spike in clean-energy technology;
What does he mean by “economic rescue”? We’re mired in five years of economic decline and a malaise that would make Jimmy Carter flinch. Economic rescue? How about economic arson?
What does 44 straight months of job growth mean? Most people would assume that would mean more people are working, right? But that’s not true. In fact, there hasn’t been one day during the entire Obama presidency when as many Americans were working as on the day George W. Bush left office – which, by the way, was amid an economic crisis.

BrasscheckTV: The battle for the border‏ Living on US-Mexico Border, Native Americans Face Daily Struggles

A visit to the US/Mexican border...
 
What's really going on.

 The reality of the border...

Temperatures exceed 120 degrees in the summer.

“We usually find about six (dead) bodies a week...” And that’s just one stretch of the Arizona/Mexican border.

The Tohono O’odham Nation straddles the US-Mexican border. It’s a “sweet spot” for smugglers, putting the Native People who live there under a state of 24/7 federal occupation and under threat from gangs who use their lands as a way into the US

Maine Newspapers Violations -- Antitrust Laws‏


State and Local Freedom of Information Issues (FOI-L@listserv.syr.edu)
Please suggest references, cites, cases, or informal or unpublished AG opinions -- state and federal and administrative -- on newspapers being the required sole publisher of legal notices in your state or country. Off-- or on--list.


I'm preparing a formal complaint for the U.S. Attorney General, Antitrust Division, against the State of Maine law that requires state and local legal notices to be published in the newspaper for that area or region (excellent speech by Deputy AAG Hesse, "At the Intersection of Antitrust and High Tech: Opportunities for Constructive Engagement",

Jan 22, 2014, Sanford, CA, <http://www.justice.gov/atr/public/speeches/303152.pdf>, prepared for Conference on Competition and IP Policy in High-Technology Industries). 


Given that more people get their news from the net than from newspapers, and given that Maine has provided their students for over 6 years with their own laptop computers and so are computer literate, and given that the First Amendment is still in effect and that a Nash equilibrium and other arguments would strongly suggest, if not prove, that subsidizing newspapers  (especially as their circulations decline) would be harmful to the newspapers, it is also time to file a formal complaint in civil court to block this law.  


We have support at the local town level where advertising for bids is way too expensive so the towns are left with simply calling local providers to get someone to do the work.  Indeed, one Selectman told me at the last board meeting to "pursue this with a passion." Not a single Board member objected to his statement.


We also have data now on five towns on the quality of local newspaper coverage -- and, as predicted by antitrust theory -- the quality of coverage of local government activities by the newspaper, compared to videotapes of the governing board meetings, is unacceptably low.  There are more legal and empirical grounds for demonstrating newspaper antitrust violations, without being in conflict with precedents (Associated Press v. United States; Tribune  Company v. United States; United States v. Associated Press, Citations 326 U.S. 1 (https://supreme.justia.com/us/326/1/case.html), or Noerr-Pennington Doctrine, or the Parker Immunity Doctrine (Parker, Director of Agriculture, et al. v. Brown, 317 U.S. 341 (https://supreme.justia.com/us/317/341/case.html)63 S. Ct. 307; 87 L. Ed. 315; 1943 U.S. LEXIS 1263; 1943 Trade Cas. (CCH) P56,250).

OBAMA RATED 5th BEST PRESIDENT IN OUR HISTORY

From a total of 44 US Presidents Obama is rated as the 5th best President ever! The A&M's Public Relations Office released the following statement, "after only 5 years in office, Americans have rated President Obama the 5th best President ever."
 
The details according to TEXAS A&M
1. Reagan & Lincoln tied for first,
2. Twenty three presidents tied for second,
3. Seventeen other presidents tied for third,
4. Jimmy Carter came in fourth, and
5. Obama came in fifth!
 
 
This appears to be totally reasonable . . . . . .

Once Upon A Time Brooks Misplaced His Glasses...Enjoy The Day!


ENJOY THE DAY!!!
    Misplaced my Glasses.....
     Some seniors are so thoughtful and creative!!

Yesterday my daughter e-mailed me again asking why I didn’t do something useful with my time. 
 
Like sitting around the pool and drinking wine is not a good thing.
Talking about my "doing something useful" seems to be her favorite topic of conversation.

She was "only thinking of me" and suggested I go down to the senior center and hang out with the guys.

I did this and when I got home last night I decided to teach her a lesson about staying out of my business.

I e-mailed her and told her that I had joined a parachute club.
She replied, "Are you nuts? You are about ?3 years old, and now you're going to start jumping out of airplanes?" 

I told her that I even got a membership card and e-mailed a copy to her.

She immediately telephoned me, "Good grief, where are your glasses!

This is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club."
  "Oh man, I'm in trouble again; I really don't know what to do... I signed up for five jumps a week."

The line went quiet and her friend picked up the phone and said that she had fainted.

Life as a senior citizen is not getting any easier but sometimes it can be fun.

During the tenure of Gov. John Lynch (D) and Kelly Ayotte’s (R) tenure as Attorney General, Kelly Ayotte and Lynch covered up official corruption. The corruption and cover up extended to New Jersey, involving Fort Lee and Bergen County Prosecutors office. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (R) is fully aware, as is the Office of Inspector General, US DOJ. View response from OIG.
Is there a connection between Gov. Christie’s “Bridgegate“, US Senator Kelly Ayotte and the US DOJ? Is there political maneuvering behind the scenes?  Regardless, all three have personal knowledge of state and federal crimes committed, cover up, obstruction of justice and malfeasance of office. Documented evidence supports this.

The Wasting Of Time, Information, and Forests By The Sun Journal

           THE LEWISTON SUN JOURNAL – A WASTE OF TIME

It is a pure shame that the Lewiston Sun Journal wastes so much time and money printing only half of a story.  This so called newspaper is destroying trees in order to bring only half of the truth to the people.  A newspapers mission is to provide residents in the local area with events surrounding and involving their readership.  The Sun Journal does not come remotely close to this mission. 

I will provide you with a prime example.  Last Tuesday there was a Town Council meeting in Lisbon which was covered by Mrs. Paula Gibbs, Reporter for the Sun Journal.  On Wednesday, the Sun Journal published an article pertaining to a portion of the meeting.  The information provided in the article from Mrs. Gibbs was for the most part accurate. 




Paula Gibbs
 
But what it did not say was that Mrs. Gibbs left an hour and fifteen minutes before the end of the meeting.  So the remaining portion of the meeting was not covered.  This included a vote on the Separation Agreement for the former town manager.  I think the residents of Lisbon would be very interested in knowing what this agreement is all about.  There were several other items of business on the agenda that were never reported.

The article does not state this was ONLY A PORTION of what took place at the meeting.  Instead it makes it sound like the discussion on the Water Department bill before the Maine legislature was the ONLY item on the agenda.  Subscribers and readers are given only half of the story but paying full price for the Sun Journal.  There is no telling how many more articles are incomplete or do not reflect all the facts.  I am aware of other towns (Livermore, Peru, and Livermore Falls) having the same problem with the Sun Journal.

Why anyone would want to pay full price for half a story is beyond me?

If anyone is concerned about what the Sun Journal is doing to the community, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Judy Meyer, Day Editor of the Sun Journal at 207-689-2902 or jmeyer@sunjournal.com or Mr. Rex Rhodes, Executive Editor, at 207-689-2902 or rrhodes@sunjournal.com .

Recap Town Council Meeting - January 21, 2014

                    RECAP TOWN COUNCIL MEETING – JANUARY 21ST

Last night’s Town Council meeting was once again a tension free meeting.  All personnel in attendance presented their points of view in a very cordial manner.

During Audience Participation, Water Commissioner Bill Bauer, presented two amendments to the current bill before the legislature which were discussed the prior week in a workshop.  This brought on a lengthy discussion about if the Town Council supported changing the Water Department to a Water District.  Today, the legislature was meeting with the Water Department to evaluate if progress had been made on their bill.  The Water Department was looking for a letter of support or at least no objections from the Town Council.  It ended with the Town Council stating they would prepare a letter for the legislature.

Under Council Order, Resolutions & Ordinances the Town Council set the 2014 Delinquent Tax Rate as the same as last year which is 7%.  The Council approved the bid for replacement Backhoe.  And with a surprise action the Council went into Executive Session and when they came back, Chairwoman Ward announced that the Separation Agreement dealt with Stephen G. Eldridge receiving a Separation Agreement.  The following Councilors voted to approve the Separation Agreement:  Chairwoman Ward; Councilor Bickford; Councilor Lunt and Councilor Garrison.  Councilor Pesce; Councilor Brunelle and Councilor Metivier were against a Separation Agreement.  According to Chairwoman Ward once the Separation Agreement was completed she would make the terms available to the people.

Under Other Business – The Finance Director gave her monthly report.  Mr. Dennis Douglas provided an excellent presentation of what occurs in the Code Enforcement Office.  Mrs. Tracey Steuber provided an excellent presentation of what occurs in the Economic Community Development Office.  This was followed by presentation by Jamel Torres from Healthy Androscoggin with the results of the Rural Active Living assessment.  This was followed by Mr. Don Fellows endorsement of the 2014-2015 Capital Improvement Plan.

Finally under Appointments – Dennis Douglas was appointed as ARTC Technical Committee Alternate.

Paula Gibbs, reporter for the Sun Journal, left at approximately 08:05 PM while the Town Council was in Executive Session so the article on the Sun Journal was only half of what happened at the Town Council meeting.

Obama's "Catholic Plan" => Elimination Thru Neutralization

The Catholic Church is a major roadblock in Obama's quest to bring complete Socialism to the U.S. Of A. This video explains why Obama and his minions must "divide and conquer" the Catholic Church.

If you are Catholic, you need to watch it. If you are not Catholic, you should see it anyway. Our Christian churches need to stand united!
