GREAT MERCIFUL ZEUS: Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie admits there is no birth certificate for “Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.” — which is because his post-adoption birth certificate actually says “Barry Soetoro” on it
Just listen.
Neil Abercrombie admits to his friend, a radio host, that there is no birth certificate with the name “Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.” on it.
That is because his birth certificate says “Barry Soetoro” on it.
That is what his birth certificate says since he was adopted by Lolo Soetoro in the 1970s. Once a child is adopted, the original birth certificate is sealed and the adopted parents and the child’s new adopted name appear on the birth certificate.
There is a “Barry Soetoro” birth certificate on file in Hawaii…but there is none for “Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.”.
New HillBuzz site update — any day now, but definitely by the first week of February or so
I am very excited to announce something that’s been in the works for almost two years now, but was always stymied by some crisis that arose. We are finally moving to our own server, with a new site that will be able to do a lot more things that we’ve tried to hardscrabble as best we could on WordPress.
The number one goal of the new site will be to be a place where people don’t just come to read about the news or to chit chat. There are plenty of news sites, and then there are great conservative political sites like MichelleMalkin.com, AnnCoulter.com, Redstate.com, and AceofSpades where people write about what’s going on in politics. But it’s still a bunch of reading and writing, and the sitting on butts drinking Pepsi all that involves.
HillBuzz long ago took over my entire life as a volunteer effort that has consumed me in every way possible. I started this site with friends on the Hillary Clinton 2008 campaign, anonymously, because someone needed to get the truth out about Obama and what the media was doing to 86 Hillary’s campaign…and the site just kept growing beyond anything we could have imagined the day we started. Since then, friends have come and gone, new ones were made and lost, and it’s been a nonstop wild ride here at Buzzquarters, under daily fire from the Left and Cocktail Party GOP establishment alike these days.
I made a commitment and promise to keep this site going through the 2012 elections, but with the personal condition that it not just be an entertaining look at the news every day. I want this site to be about getting YOU off that couch and doing something to stop the Left.
I am not a teacher, a parent, or a coach so there are days when I don’t push hard enough on something and other days when I push too hard and make a lot of people mad at me. There are essays I honestly spend weeks thinking about that ultimately no one cares a lick for, and other things I dash off in under fifteen minutes that get read on Rush Limbaugh or forwarded to a million people. Somehow, this little amateur effort here in Boystown has now become the 11,000th most popular site in the country…besting people like TammyBruce.com and TaylorMarsh.com, who were two of my role models when we first fired up HB (with Tammy Bruce still being a huge hero of mine, and not so much with the Taylor Marsh once she drank her Kool-Aid).
What I hear constantly from people is that they are afraid of what’s happening to the country, but they don’t know what they can personally do. They are scared to get involved because they see what the Left does to others and they don’t want to take the risk those thugs could come banging on their door too. My boyfriend Justin, a guy I love so much I think I’ll one day civil-union, didn’t want to date me at first because he was afraid getting too close to the HillBuzz guy would make him a target of the Left as well, the way some of my other friends have been targeted by various crazy people and stalkers who’ve read this site and become fixated on us in various ways. So, believe me, I get that the Left is scary, and that not everyone can be front and center in all of this.
So, through the new HB 3.0 that’s to launch soon, the daily mission is going to be to give you some adventure you can choose to help take down the Left and gear up for the 2012 election. I will respect the fact that everyone has their own individual and familial limits, and that not everyone is up to phonebanking, canvassing, or spending their Saturdays doing volunteer work or campaigning. So, the task at hand is to set the new site up as an Action Center that has plenty of great things to do for the cause ready and able to be accessed by anyone who wants to pull out the phone, grand some postcards and a pen to write, or sit down at the computer on the Internet to help out with research or blogging or writing letters to the editor.
I don’t see anyone in the conservative ranks doing this, but I wish they would as well, because together all of us can make a real difference in 2012. The Left will forever have union goons and other thugs at their disposal doing this stuff. All we have is each other. But, if we work hard every day and never stop learning, improving, and honing our skills, we will win because collectively we love this country more than the Left wants to destroy it.
I’m thrilled to call so many of you out there friends, and flattered to have so many ruffled-feather haters. It’s cliche, but true, that if you’re taking flak from all sides, you are indeed over the target.
With the new site, we hope to have a wider range of impact than ever. We’re closing in on 15 million hits for this little Hillary campaign site that evolved and grew into so much more. The new site, when launched, will ultimately be fully ad-supported so we’ll finally be able to fund the site’s permanent maintenance and functionalities, as well as adequately prep our 2012 ground game.
I’m fortunate enough to have assembled a Charlie’s Angels-grade technical support team all across the country that will enable us to hit twice as hard at the Left and Cocktail Party GOP establishment as we do now. If you like us, you’re going to love the new site. If you hate us, or just me personally, then I’m delighted to say you’ll hate us more than ever very soon. And most likely be jealous of our super snazzy new logo.
Please keep this in mind in the next few weeks that if suddenly one day the site’s acting funny or you can’t load something, it’s just because the transfer to the new site has begun. It could take up to three days for things to be back to normal, and everything might look weird for a while. We might not have a chance to give you a heads-up to what’s going on before it suddenly happens, so just be patient and pardon our dust while the new site launches.
It will be the site I wish we would have had back in 2007 to stop Obama from ever becoming president, but at least we’ll be up to speed and running on all cylinders here in 2011 to do all we can to prevent this man from having a second term in which to ruin our country.
As always, thank you for your readership and all of your support, particularly those who send Ground Reports in because they are truly my most favorite thing to ever see in the in-box. I hope to make those an even larger part of the new site as we all learn new way we can work together in real time to take down the Left in the little ways we can individually contribute.
Five states working on legislation to require long form birth certificate for candidate to be on presidential ballot in 2012
Here’s an interesting article from World News Daily about Arizona, Montana, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Texas all crafting legislation that would require presidential candidates to produce their long form birth certificates for them to be eligible to appear on the 2012 ballots.
I honestly don’t know why this is not already on the books in every state.
As things stand, the Constitution makes certain requirements about who can be elected President of the United States, but does not provide for any mechanism to ensure these requirements are met.
It’s just always been assumed no one would run for president without being actually eligible to hold the office, with all the correct documentation in order to prove it.
But, there’s no agency in place to ask for that documentation, and no procedure for making sure those documents are valid.
The current president refuses to produce his original long form birth certificate because the name that’s on this document does not match the name he uses currently. This is because his official Hawaiian birth certificate was changed in the 1970s when he was adopted by Lolo Soetoro in Indonesia. At that time, his name was changed to “Barry Soetoro”. When a child is adopted, that child’s original birth certificate is permanently sealed and sent down the Memory Hole. The new birth certificate, with the adoptive parents on it, becomes that child’s official birth certificate.
Obama made the choice in college to become “Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.” because being the son of a Kenyan seemed more politically advantageous to him than being the adopted son of an Indonesian man, with his Indonesian surname. Obama never bothered to legally change his name BACK to Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. after his adoption. If he had, there would be a record of that name change, both in the Hawaiian Hall of Records and in newspaper announcements noting the name change (as required by law).
Those announcements do not exist.
His name was never changed back to Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.
So that’s why he won’t produce his birth certificate.
If he did, he’d probably have to legally appear on the ballot as “Barry Soetoro” when he runs for re-election.
Or, would that be “election”, since he has never appeared on a ballot as his legal name?
All of this is like a cartoon I once saw where, through massive tragedy and bizarre twists and turns, a duck became the King of England, since no other living human heirs were eligible.
Unfortunately, we don’t live in a cartoon. If we did, we’d all be riding around on those unicorns Obama promised us.
We actually live in a world where the President of the United States won’t produce his birth certificate, his college records, his legal career’s documentation, his records as a state senator, or anything else that’s left a paper trail in his life. Just because he doesn’t want to.
Or, he’s hiding something terrible that he knows would destroy him.
In 2008, there was no legal mechanism in place, apparently, to demand Obama produce any of these documents…and the media enable this situation by implying anyone asking him to produce these documents was either racist, crazy, paranoid, or all of the above.
In a history class I had once dealing with the Vietnam War, the professor noted that the public turned permanently against the White House when Walter Conkrite said on the air that the Vietnam War was lost. That’s what it took for the country to have enough with the war. For someone respected and familiar to them to say what so many of them were thinking.
THAT is what’s needed right now in terms of Obama’s mythical, mysterious birth certificate. We need someone respected, beyond reproach, and highly familiar to all Americans to say outloud “Why won’t he just show his damn long form birth certificate and be done with it already?”.
I don’t know who that person is, or even if there is such a person alive. Who’s so beloved, believable, and beyond reproach that if he or she said, “He needs to turn over his birth certificate tomorrow” that the White House would be compelled to do so?
Maybe it’s not one person. Maybe it’s the various state governments following the five mentioned above who are preparing for the 2012 election by requiring all presidential candidates to submit their birth certificates as part of their paperwork for appearing on the ballots.
All it takes is for ONE state to require this for a person who refuses to produce his birth certificate to be ineligible to run for president, because a candidate must be on ALL 50 of the state ballots to become our Chief Executive.
You can’t be president if you are only elected by 49 states, with your name not appearing on that 50th ballot. You could win all the electoral college votes in those other states, but because the people of the 50th state didn’t vote for or against you, then you cannot be the President of the United States…which is a union of 50 states, not 49…and not 57 like Obama claims there are.
Interesting notion at HotAir: Were we better off with Olbermann on the air?
In another year, they both won't have jobs and these two can do this all day.
HotAir has a very thought-provoking take on the demise of Keith Olbermann, almost lamenting his absence because he was just so unapologetically Leftist.
He didn’t try to hide either his bias or his intense stupidity.
Unlike, HotAir notes, Newsweek…which is also Leftist propaganda, but disguised as objective journalism…so rational people are often duped by its attacks on conservatives because they falsely believe Newsweek is unbiased.
With Olbermann, everyone knew who and what he was, and whom he was working for.
This is the same thing I say when conservatives get upset that people like Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, James Clyburn, John Lewis, and other horrible Democrats remain in office. These people are caricatures of all the bad things the Left does…living, breathing, talking, and sometimes quacking political cartoons. There’s a reason SNL skits are often so spot-on when parodying these people, and it’s not because anyone even remotely talented or funny has worked at Saturday Night Live since before I was born. It’s just because the Left’s standard bearers are so ridiculous they are walking parodies of themselves and what insanity they believe in.
Olbermann is very much in this bunch, as is Chris Matthews, who is still on the air. It remains to be seen if Rachel Maddow will step up to the plate and become more crazy to fill the void Olbermann has left.
While it’s great seeing him fired because it was a firing long coming, strategically it indeed would have been better for the conservative cause if he had remained on the air, saying stupid things, and discrediting MSNBC through the next election. With him gone, the network can claim it cleaned house and is now unbiased, and many foolish people will believe that.
Which is a crying shame, because Olbermann might be gone, but the climate that bred and advanced him remains.
The most wonderful thing that could possibly ever happen: Left wants to draft Keith Olbermann to run for the Senate
Could you imagine if BOTH of these fools could have been maneuvered into the Democrat Senate ranks, in states where Republicans never win seats? They would be gifts that just keep giving.
Kind of like Al Franken...in this totally NOT photoshopped image. Which is honest to goodness a real photo of Franken. Seriously.
Here’s something that would be absolutely wonderful if it happened, even better than Democrats electing Nancy Pelosi to be Minority Leader in the House: the Left wants to push Keith Olbermann to run for retiring Joe Leiberman’s Senate seat.
There are so many insane things he’s said on television through the years that the campaign itself would be interesting, as would the final result — if the people of Connecticut really sent this man to Washington to represent them, then that would prove once and for all what mental problems they have.
It would also do a few more interesting things, like further underscore just how in bed with the Democrat Party the media really is. Having Olbermann run for the Senate, like Chris Matthews tried to do last year in Pennsylvania (but was stymied because a poll he did on his potential candidacy proved too many people hated him and thought he was a pig), would perfectly ring a wakeup call to many Americans who still kid themselves that the media in this country ISN’T just an arm of the Democrat Party.
And, if he would actually win, could you just imagine the damage this man would do to the Democrats for six years, while he’d sit in the Senate and embarrass himself and his party.
He just can’t help it. He’s embarrassing, and quite possibly mentally ill.
Sometimes, I don’t think conservatives see the value in allowing Democrats to have high profile insane people representing them. It’s actually a good thing that Harry Reid is still in the Senate as Majority Leader, that Nancy Pelosi is Minority Leader in the House, and that people like Barney Frank are Congressmen.
Keep the high profile loons and let them give Democrats a bad national reputation, while working to defeat the less interesting but more terrible Democrats in the Senate, such as Claire McCaskill, Ben Nelson, and Democrats with (Rs) after their names such as Lindsey Graham and the Weird Sisters of Maine.
Sometimes, taking a step back and letting the Left push someone whackadoodle for a seat actually provides more longterm strategic benefit to conservatives than it does defeating this person outright.
Arizona does it again.
from Veritas&Libertas
Fox News is reporting that the Arizona House has approved a bill that would require all presidential candidates to produce a birth certificate before their name can be placed on the ballot. The bill still has to pass the Senate but rumor has it that this will happen. This may be a dumb question but…what does this mean for Obama? How will he get around this one?
Once again…all eyes are on Arizona.
**********************************
UPDATE: Keep this fact in mind, that only ONE state has to require a birth certificate for Obama to be on a ballot for Obama to be required to either give up his long-hidden mystery birth certificate, or not seek another term.
WHY?
Because to run for President of the United States a candidate must be on the ballot in ALL 50 STATES. If that person is on the ballot in 49 states, he or she cannot be elected president because that 50th state did not have a say on his or her candidacy.
Otherwise, people would just not even bother being on the ballot in states they know they are going to lose. Democrats would not campaign in the deep south. Republicans would skip California and New York. It would save a lot of money on both sides, but the elections would not be national ones without all 50 states having cast ballots for or against that person.
What’s interesting is the karma involved in all this: the White House was flat-out evil to both the state of Arizona and to Governor Jan Brewer personally. So it will be ironic that Brewer will sign into law a bill that require Obama to either turn over his long-hidden birth certificate, or decide he has “health issues” (such as his suddenly revealed Parkinson’s) that prevent him from seeking a second term.
Rumor has it Arizona won’t be the only state to do this, either.
But, remember, all we need is ONE STATE to require the full long form birth certificate and Obama must finally produce it.
The White House has known this was in the works for some time…that’s what all the weird kabuki about this birth certificate as of late has been about.
“Rahm’s name has to be on the ballot because the ballots are already filled out and locked in precinct boxes”
Click to embiggen
On another thread about Rahm Emanuel’s appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court to remain on the Chicago Mayoral ballot, commenter Newt Love said the above, which first made me laugh but then made me realize what an unfunny joke Chicago is to the rest of the country.
It’s not the least bit shocking that elections in this city are rigged, or that laws are trampled on and ripped to shreds when Democrats here want to do that.
Voter fraud is rampant here. Dead people vote. Early and often! Democrats endeavor as much as possible to boot living Republicans from voter rolls while keeping Democrats on long after their change of address to the cemetery.
The Cocktail Party establishment here doesn’t say anything about any of it because they do not want to be called “big meanies” or “RAAACISTS!” by the Leftist media.
Everyone knows this.
Just as everyone knows that Rahm Emanuel was not a resident of Chicago, as the law requires, for a full year before next month’s Mayoral election.
But, because it’s Chicago, and the Left controls this city, the Left acts like the law does not apply to them.
You hear stories about how things ran in Chicago when Al Capone controlled the city, and it makes you shudder to think what it will be like with Rahm Emanuel in the Mayor’s office. Say what you will about Mayor Daley, but the man knew restraint. He never sent dead fish to anyone or stabbed a piece of steak while shouting his enemies’ names.
Rahm Emanuel has really done this.
And the Daley Machine wants to make him the next Mayor.
And our only hope is that the rival Madigan Machine in Springfield will stop him.
It’s like being a tiny bystander in a Japanese monster movie watching the city you live in being torn about by behemoths no one can control.
Certainly not any laws.
[Shudder]

UPDATE: Because, admit it, when you think of ‘The Supremes’, you want to hear this too:
I know I’m not the only one who thinks Michelle Antoinette Obama would look fabulous in some of The Supremes gowns. Instead of trying to invent her own weird style, she should look at what worked for Diana Ross and friends at their most glamorous, and what works for glamorous women like Vanessa L. Williams (on both Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives).
This has nothing to do with Rahm Emanuel, aside from the fact that he, too, might want to look fabulous in these gowns but just doesn’t know how.
Governor Christie is actively courting Illinois businesses to move to New Jersey (and he is not the only Governor to take advantage of Pat Quinn’s chronic stupidity)
Chris Christie: as Governor, he's poaching Illinois' businesses by offering them lower taxes and the ability to actually make profits. His secret? Really old computers.
Megan Fox ran a great column yesterday on Governor Chris Christie very smartly taking advantage of Illinois’ suicidal tendencies regarding tax increases — he, and other Governors of states across the country, is actively courting Illinois’ businesses to abandon the high taxes and hyper regulation of Illinois’ union thug environment and pack up to move to New Jersey.
If you live in an overtaxed, hyper-regulated, Democrat-controlled blue state can you chime in with any reports you have on this happening near you, too?
Here’s some of what Governor Christie is saying to businesses in his direct marketing plea to get them to abandon Illinois for the Garden State:
The job creators of our country are mobile, and they are looking for a climate that provides the certainty and stability that comes with a fiscally responsible government that manages its budgets accordingly,” Christie said. “In New Jersey, we mean business.”
Fox said Illinois’ slogan should be “In Illinois, chasing business away is our business”.
I’ll add that being myopic, greedy, and foolish is Governor Pat Quinn’s apparent business.
Do you know of any other really prominent efforts by smarter governors across the country to poach either Illinois’ or another blue states’ businesses, as these companies seek havens to escape aggressively high taxes forever being ramped up to cover the Democrat entitlement programs?
QUESTION: What do you honestly think of “remembrance ribbons” and when did this trend start?
Did you instantly know what Paul Ryan's ribbon stood for?
Last night, Congressman Paul Ryan wore a black and white ribbon in remembrance of the victims of the Tucson shootings earlier this month, including his colleague Gabrielle Giffords, who is still recovering from her wounds.
I’ve never heard of black and white ribbons signifying the victims of violence, and I daily pray for Giffords’ speedy recovery, but I am thinking this morning about whether or not there are too many different “remembrance ribbons” out there and if the net effect of that surfeit is to diminish the impact of all ribbons in general.
Before the red AIDS ribbon that was de rigueur in gay circles until just recently (it’s now seen as cliche and tacky, and is most often replaced by either the HRC blue/yellow equality pin or another pin from an AIDS charity or other gay organization the person supports. Pins are the new ribbons, though ribbon pins are still newly gauche), the only ribbons I’m aware of people wearing were the yellow ribbons for people who were missing, usually in a war.
Today, there’s a ribbon for almost everything, and people often wear them on their lapels the way gay men in the 70s wore hankies in their back pockets signifying what they liked to do sexually. There was a hanky color and code for just about everything under the sun, and it mattered whether you had your hanky in your right or left pocket (left meant you are Alpha, and right meant you are submissive). The older bars here in Boystown sometimes have nostalgic “hanky parties” where they put the complex hanky charts up on the walls and hand out the appropriate colors to people who ask for them, but no one under 50 has any idea what colors, patterns, and pockets mean what.
The whole thing is ridiculous to me. For a complete chart of the “handkerchief code”, click here.
Just for curiosity's sake, see if you can figure out what hidden message Bruce Springsteen sent with the hanky-fied cover of Born in the USA. Bet you won't look at The Boss the same way ever again.
I think the ribbons are tacky, too, but I know why people are compelled to wear them. They want to show respect and support for something they believe in, or they want to express grief in a tragic moment…but I think they’ve been overdone. When you need a chart this complex to figure out what ribbon is what, then maybe this well-intentioned practice has reached a point of over-saturation.
I don’t have a ready alternative for them that would serve the same purpose but seem more original, though, and I know these things aren’t going away and will get more complex and cause-specific as more organizations use them for branding, fundraising, and promotion.
But, it really is getting to the point where you need a “ribbons color wheel” much like the gay hanky code to figure out what someone is ribboned for.
If you had not been aware of the Tucson shooting and instead just saw a picture of Ryan with his black and white ribbon, would you have known what it meant?
I’d love your honest take on the ribbons.
How would you approach the issue of respecting everyone’s desire to have a ribbon representing their personal cause, but yet limiting the number of ribbons so people could instantly know what they represent (which is the purpose of the ribbons to begin with, but that’s diluted when every color, pattern, and shape imaginable is being used for umpteen causes)?
QUESTION: Where did Rahm Emanuel tell the US Census he lived when they came knocking at the door in 2010?
What Emanuel does to the voters of Chicago
Here’s an excellent question, without an easy to find answer. Perhaps you can help.
Where did Rahm Emanuel tell the US Census he lived when census workers came knocking on doors in 2010?
Did he complete the Census saying he lived in Washinton, DC or did he say he lived in Chicago?
Can anyone find the answer to that?
Would what he said on the Cenus qualify as a sort of testimony from Emanuel as to his intent…in that he knows the Census is once every ten years, so with that in mind, if he really and truly intended to move back to Chicago before that ten year period was up, he should have used his Chicago address on the Census and said his family lived there.
Right?
Wouldn’t that go far to establish his intent to be a Chicagoan instead of the temporary worker in DC that he’s now claiming he was?
I just can’t write about any of this without also mentioning, yet again, that Emanuel’s wife, Amy Rule, refused to come to Chicago to testify that she lived in Chicago with her husband because flying to Chicago from DC would have been too much of a burden for her or her children, who also live in DC, not Chicago.
Wouldn’t you bet any money that the entire Emanuel family listed their residence as DC on the Census…BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN LIVING.
Any ideas on how the Census information for Emanuel was completed?
