Even Tom Brokaw and Charlie Rose commented about how little we know (transcript on Rush Limbaugh). What truly is amazing and scary is the lack of public exposure to the question of his citizenship, with its complicated history beyond the question of a Kenyan birth. Although suits have been filed in state and federal courts requesting proof of natural born citizenship, no proof has been offered. Mr. Obama has hired several teams of lawyers to answer these suits mostly with requests for dismissal. Some suits are still pending and some have been dismissed because an individual citizen cannot ask whether Mr. Obama is Constitutionally qualified to be President. To ask this question, the person must have "standing", or can be directly and significantly affected by Mr. Obama as President. A person actively serving in the military may be asked to put his life on the line at the request of the President and would have "standing." If there is anyone serving in the military that would like to see if Mr. Obama has the citizenship status to be President, do a web search on Obama citizenship lawsuits and contact someone with an active lawsuit. Berg and Donofrio currently have lawsuits pending in the Supreme Court. He may have the required citizenship. The question still remains: why hasn't he presented the documents to prove it?

If McCain won by 365-173, the map would look like this: [Note from Web Master: Hyperlink removed] Even if Obama lied, McCain and Cronies lied much much more...and much more deceitfully and evilly. Obama is a Muslim? Come on...give me a break. Obama is a terrorist? The way that McCain supporters talk, its like they were trying to get Obama lynched. - Ubu Walker Sat, 15 Nov 2008 13:42:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/advertisement-and-the-virtue-of-audacity.htm#comment-16374 "Many esteemed and influential people have been privately debating the question: ƒ??Is it Possible to Win the U.S. Presidency by Fraud and Deception?ƒ? We already know the answer, donƒ??t we?" We have known the answer to that for eight years now, ever since GW Bush stole the 2000 election, followed by another, even more egregious theft in 2004. That's what you are referring to, right? - Mongo Thu, 06 Nov 2008 19:30:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/advertisement-and-the-virtue-of-audacity.htm#comment-16375 Hey, Michael: You occasionally run a copy of Joe Galloway's columns from the McClatchy papers here in your online magazine. He has a good one up today. You might consider running it. http://www.mcclatchydc.com/256/story/55165.html - John Quick Wed, 05 Nov 2008 20:47:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/advertisement-and-the-virtue-of-audacity.htm#comment-16373 The Bill Gurley story is just a small piece of what is a very good book. Thanks Michael for the book, the pictures, and the dispatches. Keep up the good work. - Russell E.

Oh well... - Sarmajor Tue, 04 Nov 2008 21:23:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/advertisement-and-the-virtue-of-audacity.htm#comment-16369 My fraternity did the same thing when I was in college. We wanted to prove the absurdity of the "bid" process, so we collected 10 guys from 100 and duped the entire chapter into giving Justin McNamara a bid. It was a proud day for fraud everywhere. - mark ervin Tue, 04 Nov 2008 17:16:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/advertisement-and-the-virtue-of-audacity.htm#comment-16365 When I first heard the name "Barack Obama" a year or so ago, I didn't recognize it but thought that if he was running for president I would eventually find out about him. Well, he is and I still haven't. I've been around for quite a few elections and I don't recall anyone more of a "phantom" candidate. Articulate, personable, a passably good speaker, but what does he really think about the important problems and issues? Since he isn't telling us, his personal actions and associates loom very important in providing keys to his basic beliefs. Unfortunately, when these are inspected, a disturbing picture emerges. Terrotists, radical preachers, big city machine political machines, the list goes on---. I give up, I can't read him, so I'm going to support a candidate who does tell us what he believes in (and so does his running mate), and has a lifelong record of acting responsibly and humanely on these beliefs. Go McCain-Palin! - Robert Armstrong Mon, 03 Nov 2008 17:18:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/advertisement-and-the-virtue-of-audacity.htm#comment-16364 I needed a good laugh this morning. If it makes anyone feel better, McCain / Palin won the Heritage Elementary School election last week 440-215. I'm trying not to underestimate the silent majority, the people who are out there that no pollster ever talks to and no reporter ever writes about. A co-worker went to a naming ceremony type thing at a huge evangelical church a month or so ago (they don't believe in baptising infants, so it's just kind of an introduction of a new baby) and there was a kiosk in the mega-church lobby signing up new voters. She says her sister-in-law told her they had 2500 takers just in this election cycle. - The other Julia Mon, 03 Nov 2008 16:39:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/advertisement-and-the-virtue-of-audacity.htm#comment-16363 Friendship is a very powerful relationship. People everywhere respect true friendship. True, sometimes our friends are imaginary and other people around us confirm the power of imagination by respecting our imaginary friend. McCain and Obama are imaginary friends to many of us. We are in the elite minority of this country if we know either of them or even know someone who knows them. Soon, when one of them is elected and sworn in we will of course find out much more about them for "that one" will be imbued (anointed) with the power of the Presidency of the United States of America. I pray that we as the people of this great nation will find a sense of responsibility and grace to trust this elected person to lead us toward a future that celebrates integrity of character and the rule of law and the possibilities of peace. - Carlos S. Mon, 03 Nov 2008 11:36:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/advertisement-and-the-virtue-of-audacity.htm#comment-16361 May I say thank you to Howard, if that's your real name. (Morseburg? hmmm.) I'm first up in my debating society tonight, proposing "This house believes the Republicans will win" and I've been drowning in data on why this is the case. However, don't want to bore all the right thinking Brits with too many facts so I'll take your key points, if I may, and spend the rest of the time cracking jokes. - carol Mon, 03 Nov 2008 08:57:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/advertisement-and-the-virtue-of-audacity.htm#comment-16359 You have said in several paragraphs what I've been dedicating a couple years of blogging on. Check it out, great stories, YouTubes and my editorials which mirror yours. I've called this guy the Manchurian Candidate since the first time I saw him get his butt kicked in the debates with the other democrats.

While he may have been 7 years old when Ayers committed his criminal acts, he was in his twenties when Ayers and Dohrn surfaced and made the papers for days on end. Can you imagine a boy whose father, mother, mentors, and associates were all commies, but literally has no remembrance of this? Can you imagine a young man who studied under Marxist professors and maintained contact with them throughout the years, yet was not influenced by them. And can you believe a man who spent 20 years listening to the sermons of a radical anti-white, anti-American preacher, but did nto hear or understand a word of what the preacher said. Can you believe how carefully the Debates were structured so that not a single negative aspect of the man was ever questioned or came to light? Can you believe? Well, the only thing standing between us and the unbelievable may be the place where he was actually born. And, to think, that Bill Ayers engineered it all, much like your friend Richard. Is this the Manchurian candidate come true? - Howard E. Morseburg Mon, 03 Nov 2008 03:48:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/advertisement-and-the-virtue-of-audacity.htm#comment-16357 haha, awesome story, stay safe, from Puerto Rico. - Hector Cruz Mon, 03 Nov 2008 01:39:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/advertisement-and-the-virtue-of-audacity.htm#comment-16356 There's a little Bill Gurley in all of us, don't you think? - poopie Mon, 03 Nov 2008 01:25:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/advertisement-and-the-virtue-of-audacity.htm#comment-16355 Friend Richard produced his winner with only an empty suit. In this election we have a good looking, articulate, body inside the empty suit parading around - all over the world - attempting to fool all the people, all the time. Use your brain: Vote Palin/McCain. Keep your powder dry, Michael. - Papasnake Mon, 03 Nov 2008 00:29:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/advertisement-and-the-virtue-of-audacity.htm#comment-16354 I recall a MASH episode with the same story line. A newly assigned Dr. with impecccable credentials recorded in his 201 file could never be found. Everytime someone tried to catch to him, he had just left the area. When he was found in the OR he had a mask on. When caught in his quarters, he was asleep. He frequently left the compound on humanitarian missions. Alas he died. The beneficiary of this wonderful soul's SGLI was the local orphanage. - Pat Crowell Sun, 02 Nov 2008 21:28:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/advertisement-and-the-virtue-of-audacity.htm#comment-16353 Wasn't there a MASH episode that used this story line? No one was able to catchup to the newly assigned Dr. He always seemed to have 'just left the area'. His 201 file showed him as having impeccable credentials. He was always involved in surgery (with a mask on), traveling to help at the orphanage, and died at the end of the episode with no one being the wiser. The beneficiary of his SGLI was the area orphanage. - Pat Crowell Sun, 02 Nov 2008 21:23:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/advertisement-and-the-virtue-of-audacity.htm#comment-16352 Well... sadly there are enough people to be deceived... i am really scared for the Iraqis and Afghanis if McCain loses...
