Uhh, teaching constitutional law at the U. of Chicago is not a “real job” now? Thanks from all of us teachers, shithead. This guy works his ass off. Of course he’s exhausted. He’s been on the campaign trail for two fucking years. What surprises me is that he didn’t simply take three weeks off starting Nov. 5.

I’m not worrying about the community service crap. I figure the Dems will realize how unpopular that would make them and kill the idea.

And if they are stupid enough to pass it, think of the GOP gains in the next elections.

I wonder what the jihadis think about the Israel-Firster Emanuel being chosen as Plastic Jesus’s chief of staff?

Posted by Betty Lou,
“How does he cope, to whom does he talk, how can he comes to terms with the things he will see, and learn? It’s almost like psychological torture, really, when you think of the burden of knowledge and responsibility coupled with the lack of abilty and skill needed to integrate said responsibilty and knowledge into a semblance of sanity — one can only feel sadness.”

Please. No one forced him to run. His crash and burn will be his own doing.

Don’t think I’ll vote again. The media chooses the POTUS anyway.

I think he has far more to fear from his Minister of Silly Signs (MOSS).

Let’s see, first there was the faux presidential seal (remember, before the primaries were over?) and now this, “the Office of President Elect.”

What next?

I can hardly wait!

Perhaps his staff can just carry around one of those giant foam fingers, and every time a difficult, or potentially embarrassing question is asked, a press aide can come out swinging, no more subtlety about it.

What Obama has to respond to is the petition for a writ of Certiorari.. Obama will respond to the Court as to why Obama thinks the Court should not grant the writ.

He doest have to answer the substance of the charge.

ok i read the piece. My initial impression of your comment was that the CIA might try to sabotage Obama… but after reading it, the article is about how the CIA sucks.

I agree with the author. But it’s not the CIA’s fault. It’s the fault of Congress and those elements of our society that dont believe in defending the country and those who live in fantasy worlds that think the US’s defense can be achieved wihtout having to get our hands dirty in very nasty stuff that the public really shouldn’t ever find out about.

Obama would one of those people.

So I did some research on Philip Berg’s efforts to get the US Supreme Court to hear a case to determine if Obama is qualified to be POTUS. Berg asked for injunction to hold off on having the election until the case was heard, Justice Souter denied the injunction. Obama has until Dec. 1 to respond to the case filed by Berg, but no demand per se has been made for him to produce his birth certificate.

As a lawyer, I find it significant that the Court is involved at all. Zillions of cases head to the US Supreme Court every year, and only a tiny amount get heard. So I’m glad the Court is at least interested.

But to have a case heard, a plaintiff must prove legal standing to bring the case. This will be tricky for Berg.

However, as we learned in the 2000 election, the Court can pretty much do whatever they want. The Court’s 2000 decision selecting Bush was legally bogus, had not a single leg to stand on. It was such a bad decision – going against all existing precedent – that it was pretty much considered an embarrassment by many of us in the legal profession.

So if the Court in 2008 wants to rule that Berg has standing to bring the case against Obama, they will find a way to do it.

I haven’t read your link yet.. which I probably should do before responding.. but i’ll respond anyway

I dont think Obama has anything to fear from the CIA.

From what I understand, the long-time staff at the CIA opposed virtually everything Bush tried to do.. that they were interested in maintaining previous Democratic type policies/paradigms/worldviews… if that’s the case, then Obama should have no issues.

Now i’ll read the link and see how i did.

Mr. Johnson, do you know of this person’s work?

Mr. Obama should be wary of the intelligence provided to him by the CIA. He will be walking blindly into the foreign policy crises he will certainly face during the next four years, and history suggests the CIA’s poor performance will be the greatest threat to his presidency.
