Craig Crawford's Trail Mix

First?

"First?"

Then you better be there at like 2:00 a.m.

The Obama folks would like you to believe the small donors played a big partin getting him elected...IMO from the things I have read, they did not. At least not as a percentage of the total.

Well, it is about time to pack up the computer and head for the airport. I will look forward to reading the threads throughout the next few days.

Flatus, I just remembered I have a congressional reception to go to at about the same time as the parade. No parade for me. Cookies and punch will be much needed by mid-afternoon .

More it Changes - the More it stays the same.... Just different players in the same game.....

And what is wrong with Dem's having a Party that would make a Republcan blush....

safe travels zoey

Thanks Craig. I don't harbor any illusions that anything will go smoothly at this inauguration but I am looking at it as an adventure. I wouldn't miss this spectacle for the world.

Craig,

Unfortunately, you may be right. Of course people who don't think their way through to consequences is a pet peeve.

My favorite story of same was a little intern who had copied with sort a two page documents but had done it backwards so that it resulted in a stack with page two on top of page one and was laboriously resorting from the top until I came along and moved the bottom page on the stack to the top of the stack.

Gordo,

Go take something and sleep through until at least 1/22

Craig, correct me if I'm wrong :0) but isn't every new inauguration the most expensive inauguration? It seems that for at least the last few incoming PEOTUS they have had the "most expensive ever". One needs to take in account the costs of materials and etc and how they change over the years. Like implying that Batman Returns is a better movie than say, Gone with the Wind because it pulled in more money on opening weekend (compare a .25 ticket to a $10.00 one). Can anyone out there with a quick calculator find out how much it cost per person for Obama's inauguration? I bet it won't be so expensive looked at that way!

Love the attorney name in the Gordo cited link:

KREEP

And we are supposed to think this isn't some sort of spoof site?

Does SoetorObama have something to hide?

You Betcha !!!

Dooty -- great article, and I love this line from the song: "I’ve got the knuckle-bleedin’, calf-feedin’, cold as a witch, son of a Carhartt Brown, I’ve got the Browns, the Carhartt Browns."

Jamie, about that "spoof" article...yes, it's one of those things that makes you laugh, then remember that there are some serious nuts out there....

Whew! He'll be alright then!

But, Batman Returns WAS a better movie than Gone With The Wind! You can argue with me all you want about that...but, frankly....I don't give a damn.

I'm kidding, of course. You could look at it in the way that Bush's 1st inauguration was THE highlight of his Presidency.

*teehee* Well, no one can ever accuse Bush of doing things half-assed...wait, that's not funny.

CA Lawyer to Challenge Obama on Every Action, American Thinker: “Birth Certificate Issue is Legitimate”

"... Gary Kreep, chief counsel of Keyes v. Bowen and chief of the United States Justice Foundation, is reportedly going to continuously challenge Barack Obama on his citizenship issue well past inauguration on “every order, every proposal, every piece of paperwork” the to-be President produces.

“Should Senator Obama be discovered, after he takes office, to be ineligible ... his election declared void, Petitioners, as well as other Americans, will suffer irreparable harm in that (a) usurper will be sitting as the President of the United States, and none of the treaties, laws, or executive orders signed by him will be valid or legal,” the action challenges.

Kreep told WND today he’s now working with several groups that could serve as plaintiffs to challenge Obama’s actions, even from the Oval Office, should the issue remain in dispute."

As long as Obama's got the money for the party, nobody probably cares. Besides everybody enjoys a good party.

Edwin Vieira was on a netcast last night for 3 1/2 hours discussing THE USURPER. The lawsuits will use a different approach at getting to the TRUTH about his "hidden" past after the inauguration.

"United States Justice Foundation" sounds like a name that comes from Marvel Comics. I wonder what Kreeps' super-powers enable him to do.

No matter. The Constitution is his kryptonite.

I usually try to skip by this argument, but here's my take.

There are two kinds of US citizens: Natural born and naturalized. If we can agree that Barack Obama is a US citizen, the only remaining question is was he ever naturalized?

I'm guessing that answer is no. Welcome, President Obama.

Rosie, It is split responsibility. The President gets a stipend to redecorate the private apartments but they do have access to all of the historical and artistic holdings of the nation to draw upon that are then returned to storage or exhibit once they are through with them.

The private expenses for food and such for themselves and their guests are paid for by the family, but official entertainment is paid for from the White House budget and other budgets cover the salaries and upkeep or repair of the mansion.

Private donations are often gathered for gifts by the first family to the nation such as when Jackie gathered antique furnishings for the White House and the various sets of China.

The First Lady is the one who usually sets the themes for Christmas. In other words, a lot of things are paid for in a whole variety of ways.

Chef Shiela would know more about such things.

Patriots care -- sheeple don't.

Oh my, I thought I recognized the name. I've met Gary Kreep. He is locked into the California Republican Assembly. If they were more conservative there would be trials for witches held on the White HOuse lawn.

Alan Keys is just a crook who swindles money and expenses from Conservative groups with an identical speech given over the past decade to support his undeserved life style.

Here's more info on him.

"There are two kinds of US citizens: Natural born and naturalized."

WRONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So the family doesn't have a bunch of domestics working for them? Maids, private chef or anything?

Yep, they have a chef....Chef Sheila.

gordo, are you referring to this guy who seemed to have made threatening remarks re a sup st justice?

"Not to be outdone, lawyer-author Edwin Vieira told the gathering that Kennedy should be impeached because his philosophy, evidenced in his opinion striking down an anti-sodomy statute, "upholds Marxist, Leninist, satanic principles drawn from foreign law."

Ominously, Vieira continued by saying his "bottom line" for dealing with the Supreme Court comes from Joseph Stalin. "He had a slogan, and it worked very well for him, whenever he ran into difficulty: 'no man, no problem,' " Vieira said.

The full Stalin quote, for those who don't recognize it, is "Death solves all problems: no man, no problem." Presumably, Vieira had in mind something less extreme than Stalin did and was not actually advocating violence. But then, these are scary times for the judiciary. An anti-judge furor may help confirm President Bush's judicial nominees, but it also has the potential to turn ugly."

Obama Knew he Wasn't Eligible for POTUS

"Barack Obama has submitted only a Certification of Live Birth, but Hawaii law will certify a live birth using that document for births that occurred even outside of the country. Furthermore, Barack Obama’s father was Kenyan and never an American citizen. Since the status of citizenship occurs at birth, this makes Barack Obama a citizen if born in Hawaii, but not a natural born citizen. One must have two citizen parents, at the time of birth, and be born on U.S. soil, to be deemed a natural born citizen and be declared eligible for the presidency. The Senate, for all their trouble, cannot legislate a person’s born status. It happens at birth, according to the law."

"isn't every new inauguration the most expensive inauguration? -- posted by rosiethecat"

you are probably right, rosie -- just think this would have been a good year to reverse that trend -- since this appears to be the inaugural for relentless Lincoln comparisons, i'll bet he spent closer to $45 on his, not $45 MILLION

Like a .25 movie ticket as compared to a $10.00 ticket?

GORDO,

I'm heading out now, but I'll look back later to see if you told me why I'm wrong about the two types of US citizen. I didn't see any listing of a third type.

I will say that the continual arguments about the circumstances of Obama's birth have led me to believe that the qualifications for president need to be updated. I've always felt the requirement was reasonable because we should be able to find qualified people among US natives, but this argument makes that qualification totally specious.

The man received something like 53% of the vote. Where he was born, or who his parents were, seems hardly significant at this point.

And how much did it cost to send men to the Moon? We did it 'cos the country NEEDED it. I think we NEED the big party that will be on Tues.

Yeah...I love it, but part of me is still waiting for that bullet the dark side of my soul believes will come. Not so much because he is black, but because the GORDO part of me thinks that there are people out there who don't want things to change and have the power to bring down anyone they want to bring down.

"The man received something like 53% of the vote. Where he was born, or who his parents were, seems hardly significant at this point."

There is this little something called the Constitution of the United States of America. Ever read or hear anything about it?

"Article II-Section 1:

No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

Rez, They also forget that the reason it was written that way was because people who were citizens of the geography that became the US were often in areas of under the jurisdiction of other principalities whether Europe or areas governed by France or Spain in the New World and they had to cover any children that might be born to them if away from home on long journeys given the transportation facilities available.

By tradition (as affirmed recently for John McCain), it has come to mean any child born in the geography of the U.S., it's possessions or military/embassy installations. or having a parent who is a citizen of the United States. It does not include any naturalized after their birth such as a first generation immigrant like Schwarzenneger.

Obama was born in Hawaii a state of the United States and his mother was a US citizen. He is eligible.

But hatred loves conspiracies so I suppose Gordo and crowd will continue in their delusion. As long as one or them doesn't take up irrational violence, they are just useless irritants.

"organizations linked to Obama"

What a stupid phrase. Did he know they were "linked to him" or did the Gordites imagine little chains drifting through the air and wafting to land on him without his knowledge.

GWB, spent 41 million on his inauguration, and people B%tched it was too much. But, Obama is spending 4 times that amount, and no one seems to think that is wrong. Considering that Obama is telling us " Things are very bad, and we might have to tighten our purse strings." Isn't it better to lead by example and not by just words?

Gordo.... Please you distract...
So Barack was born in the US - so he is a citizen. Even if what you claim is true he would still qualify.
(I cannot believe I am responding)

Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a natural born citizen of the U.S. or who lived in the U.S. for at least five years

Hey Gordo - think of this...

It may be more sinister then simple birth place…. Who knows how deep this conspiracy goes?

What if they really do not know who the parents are and this nice lady found him just wandering or in a basket. And she made up the story of the dad.

And in truth an evil tribe sent him as a future plant to disrupt the American way - A voodoo that gave him special gifts of communication and caring – a secret weapon.

And to show how smart they are even in this scenario he still qualifies because Any one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age 21 can and now will be President of the US.

What are we going to do…
Maybe we should have a common sense test to keep citizenship or at least vote?

Poor Michele,

With the cold, the long trip, and the massive crowds, she really needs a trip to the beauty salon for an "I'm putting my head back and you will spoil me rotten" treat before the hassle of the innauguration and balls.

Sorry,,, my bad
Brain - whats for dinner?

not sure.... was thinking about grillng out... it is only cool outside now..... Maybe go shoot some pics and play with photo's later...

HOMEMADE RYE Bread !
Warm from the oven?
do you finish later with Mushroom tea? now that reminds me of what others did at Stetson.... back in the day

Sounds cozy... and I also have never had the mushroom tea.
actually now I think I may head to the coast to watch the night launch - just a small rocket....

best to all...

Jamie,

I didn't realize that the president had to buy his own personal food and pay for his own personal servants. I wonder if he can save by getting the Secretary of the Treasury to prepare his tax return?

Yep. If he ever invites you to lunch for a chat, he is treating and will get a bill for it, so be sure to say thank you. :-)

There have been stories of Presidents and their guests who have made a game out of trying to come up with a lunch request that the kitchen couldn't fill.

Hamas' face is not Israel. And the offensive killed a much higher proportion of civilians than militants. Should Hamas send Israel a fruit basket for slaughtering its citizens?

This all day watch of the train to DC needs some theme music.

No but they could stop starting things by attacking first every time, and violating every agreement they have ever been given a chance to uphold. They could stop importing weapons from Iran, and signing up kids to blow themselves up in the middle of Israeli civilians.

They could also stop stock piling weapons among civilians that they are using as human shields so that they can take pictures of the dead bodies to show the world.

Ya know, I haven't said anything so far because I really had nothing I particularly wanted to say, but now I do have a comment to make.

It's beginning to wear on me when I start reading a comment to reach the strident and almost violent anger of one of Gordo's post. I immediately scroll down, but that doesn't help - I still can sense his hatred. It was one thing when there was voting going on, but it's over. I just wish Gordo would spend his time posting with people who already agree with him - he is certainly not going to convert anyone here.

I had an uncle who somehow or other got in with the Bob Jones philosophy - anit u.n,and the era etc. We had an argument once about the term "wing" as in right and left. He stated that right wing meant no government control; and left meant complete government control. No other way of looking at it was possible. I explained to thim that the terms had come from which side of a room the parties were sitting on and he would have none of it.

My father told me later that he had been prepared to jump in and was pleasantly surprised that I had handled it - I was youngish at the time.

My uncle never did change his ideas and didn't need to but I also didn't want to be condemned to listen to him.
I loved him and he was a nice guy, but we didn't have to exchange pollitical feelings.

At the same time, I don't want the constitution to be changed yet. Some day it will be, and should be, but not yet. I want a president who has grown up with the feeling that she/he is American with all the goods and bads that go with being American - thinking "our" way and taking the same things for granted. We need to be a little different from the rest of the world, a little varied to keep the mix vibrant. I'm not really a xenophobe, tho maybe it sounds like it - variety is the spice of life.

The U.S. offensive in Iraq was criticized widely for encouraging enrollment among sympathetics in so-called "terror" operations, and I feel the same logic applies here. Whether the photos of which you speak are genuine or staged, they seem to be effective, if world press coverage is any indicator.

Champ

I agree that the US attack on Iraq caused a rush to join terrorist groups, but Iraq didn't shoot at us. The ones who struck the US had nothing to do with Iraq.

Israel did not attack Gaza until their people were being assaulted. They have not been the aggressors since 1948 unless they were attacked first.

Arabs and others from the surrounding country have a long noble history and seem to be people of adequate brain power. You would think that at some point in 60 years they would figure out that if they stopped trying to wipe out Israel, that they could live in peace.

Bethy,

It could be that Gordo is like your uncle. No one that he actually knows wants to listen to him spew hatred and drivvel. So he posts here where we are forced to at the very least to scroll past it on the way to elsewhere. It makes him feel as if someone gives a damn if he exists because he obviously doesn't have anyone at home who is willing to chat.

Snobs

Step away from the peanut butter.

I hope Obama does a better job with the FDA.
The peanut butter recall is turning into last summer's tomato screwup.

Food and Water Watch summed it up perfectly:“Although it's the beginning of a new year, the Food and Drug Administration is proving that nothing has changed when it comes to food safety and protecting American consumers. Four days after King Nut issued a recall announcement for its peanut butter that was manufactured by the Peanut Corporation of America due to a Salmonella outbreak, the Food and Drug Administration has finally issued a recall press release today. Unfortunately, FDA's dilatory response is too late for many - as of yesterday, three deaths have been associated with the Salmonella outbreak, and hundreds of people have been sickened....
Statement of Wenonah Hauter, Food & Water Watch Executive Director
http://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/press/releases/fda-issues-recall-press-release-for-peanut-corporation-of-america-peanut-butter-article01142008

They're not interested in living in peace. They want their land back. The likelihood of such a result is questionable at best, but one things for certain; platitudes won't end the conflict.

"Early presidential and parliamentary election to the Palestinian National Authority will be held as soon as the split between the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip under PM Ismail Haniyeh and the Fatah-controlled West Bank under PM Salam Fayyad and President Mahmoud Abbas has been overcome, according to statements by Abbas. The elections would be due by 2009 (presidential) and 2010 (legislative) if not held early, although reports in December 2008 suggested that both elections would be held in April 2009."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_Palestinian_general_election

Should be interesting. If Hamas wins a majority again, I wouldn't think that would bode well for any peace process, ceteris paribus.

Broken clock...

At least I don't need a machine to make home-made bread, so meh.

If I had a cow I would. A goat would work, too.

It's a tough job, but someone needs to do it.

Some of you promote yourselves as being so very informed -- you know who you are (hint: Filipino). You are living in a "as seen on TV world." Your knowledge of SoetorObama is amazingly lacking in depth.

If SoetorObama was not born in HI and irrefutable evidence of that fact is in the possession of someone or some government -- he is subject to blackmail.

There is much more to the SoetorObama story -- much more than any of you know or could understand. Have been trying to keep it simple, because even that is too much for most of you to deal with.

$50,000 for just a seat? Do they get to keep the chair? Looks like a folding chair.

Oh a million here and a million there....and the US is broke and in bankruptcy.

You think that is humorous, but about three days after I got my new computer with VISTA (may the person who invented it burn for at least a thousand years), it ate all of the family photos that had been transferred from my old computer to the new one.

I have no idea where they went and nothing I've searched is there. It is probably in some deep hole on the hard drive or wandering around the tubes. Need to rescan everything and don't have a scanner at present.

Jamie,
I agree with you about Vista. I imagine those pictures are there somewhere, but good luck finding them. Luckily you have the original pictures to scan. And hopefully they're still stored on your old computer. (?)

Not going to work. Try another approach.

One of the PATRIOTIC lawyers is on the trail of "port-of-entry" documents for SoetorObama in '81. Know what he expects to find on the documents?

Rez - either you're reading me wrong or I wasn't careful enough with my words. I like Ping but don agree with him on much politically. I definitely do not want scotus to delve into the bush administration and its doings. What I want is for more of the truth to come out than we have seen so far. and that means some investigation.
I want what bush has done to be studied and written about for years, and it will be.

I agree with the dangers of a crisis of confidence and witch hunts. I posted about that yesterday - I don't want presidents to have to leave a safety deposit which they might not get back if they mess up.

I believe firmly that every president has done something at least as bad as Watergate - in order to get their policies accepted, to gain more power, whatever. Every president has done something we would hate him for. That's what I believe.

We don't need a president for a moral leader or an idol or a monarch. We need a president who works her/his ass off to keep our heads above water, and safe.
We need a president who doesn't delegate everything.
We need a president who can make sound decisions re what risks to take. I don't care if I would like them personally.

It's a hard job and they have to take risks,and if they get caught, it's sad and tragic. If they try to screw the constitution and get caught, they need to know it hasn't gone un-noticed, and that the people have a limit to their patience.

All that can be done without disrupting the forward motion we are finally going to have going. That's all.

And I agree 100 percent with Bethy -- let the investigations begin by journalists (if there are any left) and historians. Don't let this man be whitewashed like Ronald Reagan.

"But Mortimer, you're going to love me for my mind, too."
Mortimer Brewster: "One thing at a time!"

sturge. especially like the part when grant yells "charge" and runs up the stairs.

In the end, Mortimer is overjoyed to learn that he was adopted and is not biologically related to the Brewsters after all. He is actually the son of a sea cook (in the original play, he happily exclaims, "Elaine! Did you hear? Do you understand? I'm a bastard!").

Sturge -- you are still talking of poison! ha...

"Don't let this man be whitewashed like Ronald Reagan"

I truly hope that doesn't happen this time around,like naming roads,airports etc, after Bush.Ha,now if Bush had a sexual misdeed and lied about it I'm sure he wouldn't be whitewashed!! I agree though its up to the press and I don't have much confidence in them anymore....
