The Audacity of Cons

When I was a kid, my dad was still a wild child.  For a time he made a living on the pool table via bets.  He had a way of convincing the opponent if he bet a little more money he would get all his losings back.  What he would do is drink hard whiskey.  The unique way this would affect my dad was that he would be so drunk he could barely stand up, but his concentration and velvet touch with the pool cue would actually improve the drunker he got.  Dad was a risk taker.  He knew if he was going to con somebody, he would be better off doing the more outrageous thing and acting as if he were just Joe Schmoe living a normal honest life.  That way the charges sounded more ridiculous and made the guy sounding the alarm look like HE was the dishonest one.

What do we know about Barack Obama?  Ok, we know he is for change.  We know he can give a pretty good speech as long as there is a teleprompter to work from.  But what do we know?  We know that he can take instruction from his campaign advisers.  In my article, 'Obama missed it by that much' I noted his variance with Christian understanding of faith and salvation but this past weekend when asked by Pastor Rick Warren, he had quite another understanding of faith and salvation.

Concrete Bob over at DC Protest Warrior has been working on this for a while with a few other folks.  I've been monitoring their progress for a couple of months now.  Then a couple of weeks ago, this email was sent to one of my colleagues who passed it on to me.  Included are pictures of Obama's family in Kenya, he and his father in his father's one visit to Hawaii, he and his mother, he and his white grandparents, he and his adoptive father, and a couple of pictures from 2006 of him stumping in Kenya for his cousin Odinga.  (A radical Muslim who after losing his bid for the presidency of Kenya, went on to commit heinous crimes in persecution of Kenyan Christians.)  Here is a link to an earlier article I wrote about Obama and his affiliations with radical elements both here in the U.S. and in Kenya.  I wrote about his attempt to subjugate American sovereignty to the corrupt and feckless U.N.  I wrote about the corruption of the U.N.

Now, the question comes up about his birth certificate.  It has been closely examined by professionals in forensics of documents and found to be fake.  Its likely that he holds dual citizenship with Indonesia and may not be an American citizen at all.  Two different hospitals in Hawaii claim he was born within their walls?  Is one or are both sets of records faked?  And Obama will not release his information.   In fact, he has been working to hide much of his personal record.

Who is this guy and how did he manage to run for community organizer much less leader of the free world?  The man has not been vetted.  This just goes to show how irresponsible the Democrat Party really is and how irresponsible the nation has become.  The press are not asking the questions the Dems should have expected.  And now, not even their opposition is willing to ask these basic questions for a man who is running for the highest seat of power in the land.  The audacity of hope?  Its so audacious that professional politicians don't even know how to challenge this invisible man's missing record.  My dad would have been very impressed with Barack's audacity.

UPDATE:  Over at the America's Right blog, Jeff Schreiber is working very hard to keep us all up to date on the latest information available.  His site is recommended by NewsBusters who are featuring the story because you will not hear about the lawsuit in the main stream media but it is all over the blogosphere.  Again it is the blogs that do the real reporting and leave the puff pieces to the news crews' talking heads.  Anyway, Jeff is posting almost hourly as he researches and interviews those involved.  Here's the latest post:

UPDATE on Berg v. Obama Lawsuit

9:35pm

I just got off the phone with Philip Berg, asked some easy questions and some tough ones. I'm no Chris Matthews--for starters, the sight of Barack Obama does not send a chill up my leg--but I think I did a fair job. Keep checking America's Right for the Q&A once I've had a chance to put everything together.
