President Barack Obama could not pass a background check if he was applying for a gun permit or a job. Why has this man been allowed to remain in office or take the oath for a second time?
During the 2008 campaign, it was known that:
His official, long form birth records were SEALED.His Occidental College records were SEALED.His Columbia College records were SEALED.His Harvard College records were SEALED.His College thesis – SEALED.His Harvard Law Review articles – SEALED.His Indonesian adoption records – SEALED.His passport file – SEALED.His medical records – UnavailableHis baptism records – UnavailableHis papers from his service in the Illinois legislature – UnavailableHis Illinois State Bar Association records - Unavailable
The birth certificate that the White House released is reputed by document experts to be false.
The Social Security number he has used was issued to someone else. He could not pass an E-Verify test. The first three numbers of his Social Security ID are reserved for applicants with Connecticut addresses, 040-049. The number was issued between 1977 and 1979. Obama’s earliest employment reportedly was in 1975 at a Baskin-Robbins in Oahu, Hawaii.
Many of the “facts” he cited in his two memoirs have turned out to be questionable, if not outright lies; particularly as regards his birth father, a citizen of Kenya at the time of his birth.
A job applicant with Obama’s paper trail would not even pass the smell test, but this man was elected and reelected. The role of journalism is to vet the credentials of anyone running for public office, let alone the highest office in the land. Instead, he has been protected against all inquiries and those making them have been called “birthers” or simply ignored.
Obama so routinely lies that keeping track of them would require a team of full-time archivists.
In August 2009 he said, “I have not said I was a single-payer supporter”, but in June 2003, as an Illinois state senator, he said, “I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer universal health care system.”
In March 2006, he said “Leadership means the buck stops here…I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.” He is now into his second political battle to raise the debt limit. In July 2011, he said “It is not acceptable for us not to raise the debt ceiling and to allow the U.S. government to default.”
In response to a 1996 questionnaire he said “I favor legalizing same-sex marriages and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages, but in November 2008 he said, “I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage.”
He spent his first term blaming the nation’s economic ills on his predecessor, George W. Bush, saying in July 2008, that “he added $4 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion in debt that we are going to have to pay back. That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic.” Today, the debt stands at more than $16 trillion because Obama added more to the debt than all previous presidents combined. For the first time in U.S. history, our credit rating was reduced and rating services are warning they will reduce it again.
He has a record of using executive orders to bypass the constitutional powers and duties of Congress. His most recent effort was 23 such orders regarding gun control at the same time Americans are buying guns as fast as they can, fearing the loss of the right to own and bear arms. This is the same President who just signed a law granting him and his family lifetime Secret Service protection.
He used “executive privilege” to cover-up the “Fast and Furious” scandal in which guns were allowed to be purchased and transported for use by Mexican drug cartel members.
He lied about the attack in Benghazi, Libya that killed a U.S. ambassador and encouraged members of his staff to spread the lie that it was “spontaneous” and the result of a video no one has seen.
He and the Democratic Party imposed “Obamacare” on the nation and its passage is already undermining the provision of healthcare services, driving up the cost of health insurance, and causing physicians and the providers of testing and other services to leave the profession and close their doors.
He no longer can blame President Bush, so now he blames the Republican Party that has offered solutions to the nation’s economic crisis that has worsened every day he has been in office. His foreign policy has consisted of apologizing for America and standing aside while one nation after another in the Middle East and northern Africa has fallen under the control of Islamist radicals. He is doing nothing to avoid the sequestration cuts that would harm national defense and a range of other government functions.
He has failed us. Congress has failed us.
It has taken four years for a case challenging his right to hold office and the Supreme Court has scheduled a “conference” in February that might decide to ignore a current case.
The mainstream media has failed us and we only hope the courts will not fail us.
He should not be administered the oath of office for a second time.

Comment by Sam Lowry on January 19, 2013 at 8:56am No, Edward Plitt. Sad as it is to say, the majority of the military does not hate Obama's guts. Quite the opposite, in fact. Obama got twice as many cash donations to his campaign from the military as R.... They love him because he got them out of Iraq and is getting them out of Afghanistan and home to their families. They didn't like Mitt's plan to send hundreds of thousands of troops to invade Iran. Would that it were otherwise, huh?
Comment by Pat McMahon on January 19, 2013 at 8:41am the media is too busy going after Tiger & his women & now this football player with the make believe girlfriend, why in heavens name would we expect them to check out the President who is in charge of our money? They are far too busy going after the trash while the true trash gets a free ride with no background check. God save America please

Comment by Edward Plitt on January 18, 2013 at 5:50pm One major factor in this incredible mess that the "Low-information" voters have given us is the military. On one hand, Obama is "Commander-In-Cheif", and no one in the military can speak against him in public. But we know the majority of the military, in reality, hates his guts. This is not the 1700's when the only guns the British or the revolutionaries had were muskets and flint lock guns. Today, even if hundreds of thousands of citizens took up arms, even so-called "assault weapons", we would be no match for even one Apache helicopter or who knows what other high tech weaponry used by the military. BUT, the fact is, Obama is a traitor by violating his oath to "Preserve, Protect, and Defend" the Constitution. Each and every member of the military takes that same oath followed by "from all enemies, Foreign and DOMESTIC! Therefore, the military could decide not to obey the traitor-in-chief and join with the people in a revolution. That would be a real game changer. It now becomes clear why a couple years ago, Obama ordered 300 MILLION rounds of hollow point ammunition for the DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, and since the first of the year has added another order for 75 million more.
Comment by Sam Lowry on January 18, 2013 at 3:42pm Linny, what section of the Constitution says that a group of people who haven't been elected or appointed to any office at all can arrest, try, and sentence the President? Are you talking about mob vigilante justice? Sorry, you can leave me out. I intend to abide by the Constitution, even if the judges and Congress don't.
Comment by Billy Bowlegs on January 18, 2013 at 2:41pm Looks like he cannot pass a burger king either.
Comment by Cracker on January 18, 2013 at 2:39pm Comment by Linny Redd on January 18, 2013 at 2:26pm We must not wait upon OR depend upon Congress to do the RIGHT thing! We know that dog and pony show will keep circling the wagons!
We CAN, however, have him treated as what he IS! A FOREIGN criminal guilty of High Crimes! He CAN be
arrested, tried and sentenced that way WITHOUT any "impeachment" protocol!
Let us get on with what is the ONLY proper thing to do while it is still possible!
