Texas Democrat

You offer nothing but the same Certificate of Live Birth! That isn't the long form... Where does it name the doctor or midwife who delivered him and his/her signature? Please, answer the following question:

IF this 'certificate' were valid, WHY has Barry spent millions to fight the lawsuits against him? WHY was the first official act he took after his inauguration to sign an executive order SEALING ALL documents? I am convinced that his passport will prove he is an Indonesian citizen... It would have been impossible for him to make his early 80's extended trip to Pakistan had he been an American as we were blocked from travel to Pakistan at that time. He makes ZERO effort to answer those and MANY other questions.

Seriously, you took the time to reply which I presume means that you read the links I provided. IF you care that much, please tell me honestly how you can seriously support this man's policies and unconstitutional acts? IF you love this nation and her Constitution would you continue to support a man in the highest office in the world who has proven himself to be the most secretive, dictatorial, weak, 'leader' (I use that term lightly as Barry hasn't led anyone or anything in his life) in the history of this country? Most importantly how can you support someone who has repeatedly evidenced his unabashed HATRED for this nation? How do you support all the radical Marxist and communists with whom he surrounds himself and has his entire life? Do you love this country?

I'd like to take an opportunity to share my thoughts on the ongoing healthcare debate in Washington. President Obama and the Democratic Leadership in Congress has made it clear that they intend to pass legislation that overhauls the way we obtain health insurance and deliver healthcare. This debate will have consequences that reverberate for generations; it is critical that we get this right.

While I agree with the President's assessment that our healthcare systems need work, I am fundamentally opposed to the vision he has laid out. I am shocked and disappointed by the majority's decision to dramatically expand a system that has become too costly to maintain. The Democrat's plan expands on the worst parts of our current system - a disconnected payment system that shields patients from the cost of their care, unaccountable boards that mandate regulations from Washington, and more government intrusion into the most intimate decisions many of us will ever make - those about life and death.

We must fundamentally rethink the government's involvement in health care. Every year the cost of healthcare rises by 8%, roughly double the historic annual increase in our GDP. Our reform should first seek to contain this cost inflation that is devastating families and strangulating budgets at every level of government.

Throughout August I will be spending time meeting with doctors, hospital administrators, patients, and insurers to talk about what the President got right in his bill and what the glaring deficiencies are. If you have any suggestions or comments, please do not hesitate to call, write, or email me. To keep up with my work in Congress, please visit the 11th District's website at www.conaway.house.gov or my blog at www.conawayblog.com. To see speeches I've given on healthcare and other topics, please visit my YouTube page at www.youtube.com/mikeconaway11.

They will back off when he shows a real long form Birth Certificate as that will show his Father was Kenyan and that precludes him from the Presidency even if he were born on the Capital Steps, Lincoln Bedroom, or the back seat of a 1959 Chevy at a local bar in Washington. He cannot ever be a Natural Born Citizen no matter what he does and that is a requirement from Article 2, Section 1, Paragraph 5, of the U.S. Constitution.

"If Obama does a good job will Conservative get their heads out of Limbaugh's a#$ and admit Obama is the best guy for the job?

I am so sorry for you. I guess you are Another Cool Aide Drinker! That's to bad. Maybe some day, you will wake up from foggy bottom when you are out of a job and Obama has spent your Tax Dollars on Earmarks and Pork, which will put this Nation another 2 to 3 Trillion Dollars deeper in debt.

No matter how long this Nation lasts, Generations of Americans Tax Dollars will never be able to pay off this debt. Obama's special interests groups are more important than the American Citizens. Therefore, the American Citizen is at the bottom of Obama's pecking order for Financial Help.

His priorities are to continue to pay back the people who financed his education at Harvard, his Million Dollar Home in Illinois, and financed his campaign in order to become President. What a Guy!

If it were not for all the illegal financial backing he received from Muslim Nations, and organized crime - Obama would be living in aTent back in Kenya.

I watched President Obama's speech to Congress last night. It was immediately followed by the GOP response, provided by Gov. Bobby Jendal of Louisiana.

The very tone of the way Jendal delivered the response was as if he was addressing a grade school class. I was personally insulted, not only by his tone but by the false statements he made regarding the GOP and its involvement in this economic mess we find ourselves in.

Did you get the same impression?

OBAMAS TWO-WEEK RECAP

1, The American people elect a black president with a total of 42 days experience as a U S Senator from the most politically corrupt state in America whose governor is ousted from office. The President's first official act is to close Gitmo and make sure Terrorists civil rights are not violated.

2, The U.S. Congress rushes to confirm a black Attorney General, Eric Holder, whose law firm we later find out represents seventeen Gitmo Terrorists.

3, The CIA Boss, Leon Penetta with absolutely no experience, has a daughter Linda we find out, that is a true radical anti-American activist who is a supporter of all the Anti-American regimes in the western hemisphere.

4. We got the most corrupt female in America as Secretary of State; bought and paid for.

5. We got a Tax Cheat for Treasury Secretary who files his own taxes.

6. A Commerce Secretary nominee who withdrew due to corruption charges.

7. A Tax cheat nominee for Chief Performance Officer who withdrew under charges.

8. A Labor Sec'y nominee who withdrew under charges of unethical conduct.

9. A Sec'y HHS nominee who withdrew under charges of cheating on his taxes.

And that's just the first two weeks . . . but who's counting.

America is being run by the modern-day Three Stooges ~ Barrack, Nancy , and Harry ~ and they are still trying to define stimulus.

Stimulus is where the government gives a smidgen of your tax dollars back to you making you feel so good about yourself [stimulated] that you want to run out to Wal-Mart and buy a new Chinese-made HDTV and go home and watch Telemundo!

I got this the other day & it would be absolutely hilarious if it weren't true!!!!!!!

My opinion is I disagree with it I think Obama has done a great job, and he will be a great President... He is already 100% better then G.W.B.

I have wireless already, I need to find out how to get my other desktop to get internet.

If President Bush lied about the WMD's. First, what proof do you have that he lied? Of course if he did fully lie about that, that would have been a crime. So since you have evidence that he did lie to the American public and the world instead of working on bad intellegence, could you please produce it for all of us to see. If not, then you are the one comitting a crime by slandering a citizen, let alone the President of the United States.

Valerie Plame was no more a super spy that I am. It was proven time and again that she DID NOT meet the standards of the ACT that covers the identities of our covert agents. Also, have you ever stopped and asked yourself this one question? If it was so important that her identity stay secret, why would she send her husband on such a high profile trip as the one he went on to the Sudan? Does that make any sense to you. Oh, and by the way, after that whole controversy started, several members of the KGB said they knew who she was and what see did.

Now if you feel that President Bush should be tried for torture, then you would agree that President Lincoln should have been tried for the conduct of his troops during the Civil War. The Northern troops did far worse to the populace of the South and the the Souther P.O.W.'s that anything we have done during the war on terror. Also, President Lincoln suspended the writ of habeaus corpus. I'm curious as to your though on that. Also, President Roosevelt's creating of the office that was charged with sensoring the media during World War II.

So, according to your standard President Licoln, President Grant, and President Roosevelt are all war ciminals as well...

to foster a stable region in which Hamas and Israel..

If Yes Why?

If no Why?

The United States and Iran must break the silence and bridge their differences so that millions of people in Israel and Palestine no longer have to live under the threat of war. And why?

About how we can have peace in the middle east?

I think yes. Talks between Iran and the United States are essential to foster a stable region in which Hamas and Israel feel secure enough to lay down their arms and begin peace negotiations

Editor:

I have followed the news reports from Gaza with a heavy heart.

The escalating violence has created a humanitarian crisis and diminished hope for peace.

At a time of hope and renewal in the United States, it is devastating to observe the bloodshed in the Middle East.

But peace could be possible if the United States decides to pursue a rapprochement with Iran. Iran, as a major supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah, is key to peace in Israel and the Middle East at large.

Talks between Iran and the United States are essential to foster a stable region in which Hamas and Israel feel secure enough to lay down their arms and begin peace negotiations.

President Obama and the 111th Congress should draw Iran into efforts to foster peace in Israel and bring relief to Gaza.

The United States and Iran must break the silence and bridge their differences so that millions of people in Israel and Palestine no longer have to live under the threat of war.

By all means, prosecute away. Not to be picky, but precisely which charges do you intend to bring? I don't intend to do defend the Bush Presidency in all its details, my opinion there is closer to Murdock's, but in the arena of criminal charges, one has to be specific. If saying things that are not true is to be a criminal offense in politics, schedule some special elections, that one alone will empty DC and most statehouses.

Acting on poor intelligence and bull-headed pursuit of inept policy? Geez, why is Jimmy Carter runnig around loose?

The idea that "X happened here while this guy was in charge, so he must be personally guilty" doesn't come close to making the cut. In criminal law one must connect the dots. For instance, Blagojevich likely WILL beat the criminal charges as to the Senate seat. All Fitzpatrick has are tapes showing this buffoon talking about a potential crime. Now he will be impeached. Under Illinois law one can impeach and remove for any reason. As long as the votes are there, they can kick him out because his mother dresses him funny and he has a really bad haircut, but that is not a criminal conviction.

The road to criminal prosecution is fraught with problems, but if you truly want to see Obama's first term get derailed into the ultimate political cat-fight on the hill, go for it. It will make Obama's bio short and simple, as absolutely nothing else will happen. And no, that is not a threat, it is an observation of plain political fact.

Again, the problem originated with Fannie and Freddie because of the fact they owned over half of the U.S. mortgage market. It was for this reason that Republicans had been calling for oversight SINCE 2001...each time facing a Democrat filibuster.

And yes, the mortgage banking industry WAS deregulated...by a bill signed into law by President Clinton. Meanwhile, we experienced a BOOM in the housing market fueled by the lowering of interest rates by the FED...not to be confused with the U.S. Government. The ensuing problems were essentially caused by a "perfect storm" of events...none having to do with President Bush.

I don't even know why it matters to you...that is unless it further justifies your animosity toward him. Bottom line...the propaganda was sufficient enough to get your guy elected. We can argue political ideologies until the NEXT election and I doubt very much that either of us will change our views. And that's fine...that's the way it's supposed to be.

As to the Iraq war, I noticed you didn't mention the fact that Saddam Hussein had repeatedly violated 17 U.N. Resolutions placed on him as a result of his invasion of Kuwait. And face it, the Democrat leaders had been calling for action against Saddam Hussein for years before GW became president. Clinton's secretary of state Madeleine Allbright said "Iraq is a long way from here, but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risk that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face". National security advisor Sandy Berger said, "Saddam will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983".
