Restore America! Yes, We Can!
by Colonel Bob Pappas, USMC, Retired
In an interview with Brian Williams of NBC News on Sunday, Obama stated, “I can’t spend all my time with a birth certificate plastered on my forehead” among his other defensive musings. There have been numerous claims that Obama is not eligible for the office he holds and a number of attempted court cases have been filed to ascertain his eligibility. So far, legal maneuvering by his phalanx of lawyers and other impediments have stood in the way of Obama’s pledged transparency.
Unfortunately because of his unwillingness to come clean the issue remains unresolved. Further, recent allegations that Obama is a Muslim with up to 18% of Americans believing that he is have further muddied the already murky water in which Obama swims. Unfortunately, his behavior and policies lend credibility to the latest claim.
Separate from the Muslim issue is a pervasive attitude in the media to the effect that even if he isn’t qualified to hold the office, the majority of Americans voted for him and therefore the squeaking wheel should just stop turning. Huh?!
Since when do Americans allow legitimate questions about qualifications of public officials to go unanswered?
Would it be okay to have a criminal or otherwise totally unqualified person hold the office based on the “right of privacy?”
I think not! For anyone with the integrity and intellectual curiosity of a peanut the Hawaii system at the time of Obama’s purported birth there was highly questionable. That alone should be enough to pursue the issue. One could have been born on Mars, but at the time of Obama’s birth it would have been possible for one to obtain a Certificate of Live Birth from the State of Hawaii.
This is only the tip of the iceberg, it’s time to melt it down to the truth.
No claim is made here that only Obama can satisfy, and we call on him to do so to stop the rising tide of those who for whatever the reason have lost faith. However, his steel-fisted resistance to the very transparency he pledged continues to erode his credibility. During the Johnson Administration that was referred to in the media as the “credibility gap.” What is amazing is his ability to draw any favorability ratings at all, but evidently there are sufficient numbers of uninformed, even mindless Americans that the “empty suit” remains inflated.
It is not even debatable that Americans know less about Obama than any President in history, because they don’t. Despite their efforts to get him elected, the vaunted “mainstream media” has repeatedly admitted as much. But more amazing is that Americans have no legal “standing” to challenge a matter of this magnitude in court that would force release of pertinent records. This President’s breathtaking corruption and lack of transparency is a cancer that is silently metastasizing the heart and soul of political integrity of this nation.
Americans often read about the corruption of foreign governments, what a laugh! If ever there was a corrupt government, it resides in the halls of Congress and the White House. Recent passage of the, Stimulus, Health Care and Financial Reform Bills are prime examples. For too many years Americans have allowed elected officials to do things to this nation that the people did not want but felt helpless to do anything about because they were told that they were powerless to do anything. Oh, Yeah?! At present talk of a Constitutional amendment that would deny citizenship to children born here of illegal immigrants is passed off as not possible. Not possible?! That bit of not-so-subtle propaganda needs to be shoved up their noses. But it can be done only by denying victory to CAREERISTS like the Charlie Crists of the political world. It can only be done by drubbing Harry Reed, taking the gavel away from Nancy Pelosi, and neutering Barrack Obama.
If Obama had not been so eager to “totally change America” into his vision of a socialist utopia by driving the economy from the ditch into an abyss, he might have been somewhat worthy of the accolades that the media and other idiots around the world heaped on him. But he and his administration along with Congressional Democrats have done more to destroy America in two years than any enemy this country has ever faced on the battle field in its history. Iraq and Afghanistan a problem?! B.S.! Congress and this Administration are the problem!
Americans need to divest themselves of both democrat and republican riff raff and reopen America for business. Burgeoning government spending programs is not business, it is an albatross hung around the neck of every American, including the very ones who benefit from government largesse. Once purged of self-serving governmental elected officials and bureaucratic leaches, America can look forward to the best years of its existence. Instead of democrat leadership demonizing and ignoring Americans, mainstream officials are needed who will carry the banner of a bright future and restore real hope for all Americans.
A good start would be to replace any Senator who has served more than two terms and any Representative who has served more than six. A Constitutional Amendment should be enacted that would limit terms of political office. Then at the first opportunity, fire Obama and elect an American who is unapologetically unashamed of and pro-America!
Forget about the smartest person in the room it makes one want to throw up! What America needs are leaders with a modicum of intellect and a wheelbarrow full of common sense!
