Justice Roberts forwards elibibility challenge for review - Salt required?
On Wednesday, Chief Justice John Roberts of the Supreme Court scheduled a birther case brought on by Orly Taitz which calls into question Barack Hussein Obama's eligibility to be president of the United States. Dr. Taitz, a lawyer from Santa Margarita, Calif., also made the announcement on her website on Jan. 9.

As of this writing, major news networks such as ABC, Fox News, CBS, and NBC have yet to report on the high court's decision to review Barack Hussein Obama's eligibility to hold political office in the United States or any of its territories. The case is identified as Edward Noonan, et al., v. Deborah Bowen, California Secretary of State.

On Feb. 15, all nine justices will hear arguments on whether Obama used forged government documents and fake identification in order to get elected as commander-in-chief. Edward Noonan, et al., contend that if Obama had been ineligible to run in 2008, other Democratic candidates should have replaced him on the presidential ballot. Additionally, electoral votes from states such as California that went towards Obama should have been deemed null and void.

The Supreme Court's website shows that docket file no. 12A606 was originally denied by Justice Anthony Kennedy, a Reagan appointee, on Dec. 13. On Jan. 9, Chief Justice Roberts sent Dr. Taitz's application to the full court for a review scheduled for Feb. 15.

#5  More likely to find many buried wooden crates holding corroded ruins of aircraft in Burma than to find ANYTHING that will stick to this POS. And Roberts only has PAM and Teflon for his tools.
If he was partisan he'd be the Chief Rino of the court

Lawsuit Alleges Cronyism in Obama Administration “Green Energy” Loan
A lawsuit recently filed in the United States Court of Claims may shed further light on the corruption of the Obama administration’s “green energy” programs. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of XP Vehicles, Inc. and Limnia, Inc., companies that competed for Department of Energy loans under a Congressionally-authorized program. The owners of XP eventually realized that there was no real competition, and that the whole Department of Energy program was a scam intended to funnel money to Obama and Democratic Party campaign contributors and political allies. They allege in addition that DOE misappropriated proprietary technology that they submitted in connection with their loan applications, and gave that technology to Obama administration cronies.

Are the allegations true? I don’t know. They certainly are consistent with what we know about the administration’s green energy programs, and there is no doubt about the fact that companies like Tesla and Fisker, which won out in preference to these plaintiffs, were 1) politically connected, and 2) failures in the marketplace. What we can say for sure is that programs of this sort are destined for disaster. There is no reason why the government should be in the business of favoring some private companies over others; if it does so, either the reality or the appearance of political favoritism is inevitable. It is time to drive a stake through the whole enterprise of government involvement in “green energy.”

Scandals show the Obama administration is corrupt
An article longer than it needs to be, extending the benefit of the doubt to a president in whose administration the Teapot Dome scandal, Billy Sol Estes, and six or seven other scandals wouldn't even have been noticed. Extending that same benefit of the doubt, if the man himself isn't up to his skinny neck in corruption the people around him most certainly are.
[COMMUNITIES.WASHINGTONTIMES] Is President Barack Obama a man of integrity? Or is he corrupt?

These aren't questions that can easily be addressed through the partisan lens. Many Obama supporters worship him not for anything he does, but for what he is, and is not: He is a biracial political liberal, the culmination of liberals' hopes and dreams. He is not a conservative Republican. For many liberals, that suffices. Yet President Obama is not a symbol or race, but a man and the President. He must be judged as a man and a president.

#1  Is the Bammer also RACIST? SEXIST?

To wit,

* NEWSMAX > PRESIDENT OBAMA CRITICIZED FOR ALL-WHITE CABINET, + mainly White Male.

I think I would like to see the reputedly cantankerous US UN Ambassador RICE become SecState just to see iff she would "flip the Bird" at some major foreign Leader, Diplomat, or Delegation on public TV???

#2  We didn't need a Headline to show Obamas corrupt, first he's Democrat,(Thief) second he's from Chicago and third He's a N,(Umm, Racist, Half he says) So he's half corrupt right there.

He's done this and been this for Too long, and won't change now, REGARDLESS of color.

#4  We have right now the worst government in the developed world. Incompetent, corrupt, contemptuous and smug. None of these people would last flipping burgers.

#5  Gasp, this is just shocking I tell you, shocking! Now, if his voters would have been aware of this before the election. There is the other possibility--they were aware; they didn't care and voted for him anyway because of promised stuff.

#7  Steve:

Agree that the competition is tough and the French are perennial favorites (Greece is also a contender) but I'm confident that Benghazi would have toppled a French government.

#8  See the post mmediately before this one.

#9  The article was "softball." George H.W. Bush was tossed out over the "Read my lips; no new taxes" comment and then he raised taxes. Obama lies about everything and gets a pass.

Bill Clinton named 'Father of the Year'
[POLITICO] Former President Bill Clinton is getting props for being a good dad.

Clinton was named the "Father of the Year" by the National Father's Day Council on Wednesday.

The group selected Clinton for his "profound generosity, leadership and tireless dedication to both his public office and many philanthropic organizations," Dan Orwig, chairman of the National Father's Day Committee, said in the announcement.

#4  Wait, ya mean grandpa right? Does Chelsea still need raising, even with obamacare she must be an adult by now.

Or does he have a kid graduating high school this year. If he has lost track you know I have.

#5  I did not have sex with that woman...but I will take the award anyway.

BTW who is the mother of the child to which I am supposed to be father of the year?

#6  Bill Clinton named 'Father of the Year' makes sense if Genghis Khan is considered 'the greatest father in history. Genghis fathered 8,000 children. Bill still has work to do.
