GREETINGS on a Thursday night as I watch the final moments of the NFL season-opener featuring my Washington Redskins up against the Super Bowl Champion New York Giants. Up next John McCain gives his long-awaited acceptance speech as the Republican National Convention comes to a close.
TOMORROW on the big blog be sure to check out my special report on how Hurricane Ike actually got its name. We’ve never had an ‘Ike’ before. Why is that ? Then stick around for another fresh new ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’ featuring my favourite blog entries of this past week.
If you were looking for the ‘Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame’ earlier tonight then look no further. After 31 editions over the past 31 weeks it’s taking a well-deserved break. That’s right. The most successful weekly series here on this blog (by far) is now on temporary hiatus. Look for it to return at a later date.
That’s all for tonight. I’ll see you tomorrow – or the next day – or whenever. Until then REMEMBER THIS !
I’m currently watching the 2ND night of the Republican National Convention. I tried watching it on MSNBC (my favourite cable news network), but there was too much commentary on there so I flipped it over to C-SPAN and now I’m getting the real deal – the convention uninterrupted – with intermission videos and all. I’ll stick with C-SPAN for the duration of the party. President Bush, Fred Thompson, and Joe Lieberman will be speaking later tonight. I’m looking forward to it. They just showed ‘Bush 41’ and ‘Barb’ at the convention LIVE and in-person. That was cool !
TOMORROW on the big blog I’ll be presenting my weekly NFL game picks for this upcoming season-opening weekend. Normally I’ll be doing it on Saturday nights between now and the end of December, but since the season officially kicks-off this Thursday night on NBC-TV I need to do it early this week. Be sure to check that out tomorrow night. You won’t regret it pal.
Have a peaceful and quiet Tuesday night everyone, and REMEMBER THIS !
This is an Internet hoax:
CAN OBAMA BE PRESIDENT ?
It seems that Barack Obama is not qualified to be president after all for the following reason:
Barack Obama is not legally a U.S. natural-born citizen according to the law on the books at the time of his birth, which falls between December 24, 1952 to November 13, 1986.
Presidential office requires a natural-born citizen if the child was not born to two U.S. citizen parents, which of course is what exempts John McCain though he was born in the Panama Canal. U.S. Law very clearly stipulates: “If only one parent was a U.S. citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least ten years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16.” Barack Obama’s father was not a U.S. citizen and Obama’s mother was only 18 when Obama was born, which means though she had been a U.S. citizen for 10 years, (or citizen perhaps because of Hawaii being a territory) the mother fails the test for being so for at least 5 years **prior to** Barack Obama’s birth, but *after* age 16. It doesn’t matter *after*.
In essence, she was not old enough to qualify her son for automatic U.S. citizenship. At most, there were only 2 years elapsed since his mother turned 16 at the time of Barack Obama’s birth when she was 18 in Hawaii. His mother would have needed to have been 16+5= 21 years old, at the time of Barack Obama’s birth for him to have been a natural-born citizen. As aformentioned, she was a young college student at the time and was not. Barack Obama was already 3 years old at that time his mother would have needed to have waited to have him as the only U.S. Cizen parent. Obama instead should have been naturalized, but even then, that would still disqualify him from holding the office.
*** Naturalized citizens are ineligible to hold the office of President. ***
Though Barack Obama was sent back to Hawaii at age 10, all the other info does not matter because his mother is the one who needed to have been a U.S. citzen for 10 years prior to his birth on August 4, 1961, with 5 of those years being after age 16. Further, Obama may have had to have remained in the country for some time to protect any citizenship he would have had, rather than living in Indonesia.
Now you can see why Obama’s aides stopped his speech about how we technically have more than 50 states, because it would have led to this discovery. This is very clear cut and a blaring violation of U.S. election law. I think the Gov. of California would be very insterested in knowing this if Obama were elected President without being a natural-born U.S. citizen, and it would set precedence. Stay tuned to your TV sets because I suspect some of this information will be leaking through over the next several days.
