I think chasing Obama's citizenship down is not likely to be a fruitful effort (although I have seen some interesting articles on some irregularities on his birth documents), but Keyes' commentary on the handling of our economy is especially on point.
We can only hope to have such a rational conservative as President some day!

Alan Keyes,
birth certificate,
Economy,
Obama
I make no bones about it, Alan Keyes would have made the PERFECT first black president of this nation. In the video below, Alan is making a lot of sense regarding the troubles that face our nation.I think chasing Obama's citizenship down is not likely to be a fruitful effort (although I have seen some interesting articles on some irregularities on his birth documents), but Keyes' commentary on the handling of our economy is especially on point.

Yesterday brought us the Rick Santelli rant and news of an AP Government class in Arizona that were less than enthusiastic about the direction of the country. Well, it seems people are beginning to reach their boiling point.
Today brings us some rather humorous photos from a protest that lined Obama's motorcade route in Arizona. A second similar protest is scheduled for tomorrow in Kansas, where he is again campaigning. You'd think with all that is going on that he'd spend more time at the White House. Then again, all he has done his entire political career is campaign, so maybe he is doing what he knows.
Then there is this. Lansing, Mich., mayor Virg Bernero (a Democrat) who went on Fox News and delivered this tirade on the double standard that exists – the chasm that separates main street and Wall Street. While I agree with his beliefs, Virg could have at least tried to make it look like he was answering the questions. And, come on, there has got to be a studio somewhere in Lansing. A skype connection for an interview? Low rent!
I'd expect more to come in the days and weeks ahead.

“Errr...ummm...errrr...um, ya know, ummm...errrr...Iran has not been helpful in promoting...errr...ummm...peace.” Really, Barry? You think they haven't been helpful? Which was it, the nuclear aspirations, the the funding terrorists, the sabre-rattling? What would we have ever done without someone so unabashedly declassifying such sensitive information?
I also liked his bold statement that the credit crisis is real. Really, economist Obama? You mean those foreclosures aren't a problem? Securities are not getting written down as a result of foreclosures? Other securities aren't getting written down due to foolish mark-to-market SEC rules? Thanks Barry, enlightening.
Other highlights:
Michael Fletcher of the Washington Post stood up and dutifully performed his duty of asking the questions us Americans really care about. “Mr. President: I am trying my darndest to get fired, so I am going to ask you the most asinine, insignificant question of the night. What do you think of the Alex Rodriguez's admission of steroid use?” The response was equally bemusing. Barry said: “Look at me, I look like an emaciated 12 year old orphan, what do I know about steroids?”
Helen Thomas stood up, I think. At this point, 180 year old Helen is standing on two willow branches at best. While I am thinking about it, am I the only one that wishes that old bag would finish shriveling up into a prune and go away? Anyhoo, she asked a question about Pakistan and used the phrase “so-called terrorists.” Really Helen, so called? Let me remind you of the term so-called. So-called refers oftentimes to something addressed in a manner in which it never was or was only previously. You know, like how you used to be a reporter, but are now just an old has-been – a shriveled statue of a previously mediocre reporter.
Obama constantly reminded us that the nation debt increased under the Bush administration as a way to deflect attention away from the fact that his bill is worthless. Apparently, he was never taught that two wrongs don't make a right. But two lefts do make higher taxes (haha).
And finally, he kept mentioning that he invited Republicans to the White House to discuss the stimulus bill. He failed to mention that in those meetings he never adopted any of the Republican ideas, and instead uttered his favorite phrase: “I won.” I'm keeping track now as to how many times he is reported saying that – the tally stands at 4.
Anyway, I can't wait for the next...errr...umm..ah..let me...err..press conference. It is interesting seeing the media's rose-colored glasses starting to come off.

Anyone catch ole' Barry's presser today? You know, the one where he tried his best to hard sell the American people on his enormous waste of taxpayer money...err, I mean the economic pork bill. Someone please get him the media Q&A questions in advance, PLEASE!! Listening to him unscripted and off the prompter is painful. And by painful, I mean like I want to poke out my eardrums painful.“Errr...ummm...errrr...um, ya know, ummm...errrr...Iran has not been helpful in promoting...errr...ummm...peace.” Really, Barry?
