There Must Be Pictures, Or A Body, Or Worst

Nothing short of someone threatening to expose incriminating pictures could explain a walk-back as embarrassing as the one made by Newark Mayor Cory Booker after his earlier appearance on Meet the Press. Almost nothing.

Remember this exception described by the spicy former Governor of Louisiana Edwin Edwards, regarding the magnitude of scandal it would have taken to force him from office. Gov Edwards jokingly suggested it could have happened if he had been caught in bed with a live boy or a dead woman. No such evidence has yet been discovered. But, he is out of the federal penitentiary now, so there is that chance.

As seen in the clip below, this was a completely forced mea culpa that Mr. Booker made after someone read him the riot act and clipped his wings.  Watch and enjoy! If you feel the need, cover your eyes and just listen. I almost feel sorry for him.

Facts Dripping Out About "Born In Kenya" pamphlet

‘Born in Kenya': Obama's literary agent misidentified his birthplace in 1991 - ABC News

The explanation being offered for the Kenyan birth reference is explained here:

Miriam Goderich edited the text of the bio; she is now a partner at the Dystel & Goderich agency, which lists Obama as one of its current clients.
"This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me--an agency assistant at the time," Goderich wrote in an emailed statement to Yahoo News. "There was never any information given to us by Obama in any of his correspondence or other communications suggesting in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. I hope you can communicate to your readers that this was a simple mistake and nothing more."

Let's think this through. Dystel and Goderich was engaged by Barack Obama as his literary agent. Obama was writing a book they intended to promote and were preparing materials to do so. Part of the promotional material for the book is a biography of the author.

It seems reasonable that the author would provide the agency with biographical data for the summary. And clients generally review these bios in draft form for accuracy. Miriam Goderich says she made edits to his biography and "misidentified" his place of birth as Kenya. This "clerical error" stayed in print and on their website unchallenged until 2007.

But, as more information drips out, it looks like this same error happened more often than just this single incident. Maybe Dystel and Goderich could just release all the original documentation and extinguish this firestorm. 

There seems to be intrigue everywhere in President Obama's biography, regardless of where you believe he was born. This is far from over.

From listening to several of the Breitbart writers on the radio, it sounded like they have additional information that will be released as they deem most effective.

The real grist in this story may end up being less about where Barack Obama was born, and more about where he represented himself being born as a young man and more importantly, why? 

Drip, drip, drip.

AOK at DOJ?

Dismissed U.S. attorneys summary (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Let me see if I understand the current situation. The DOJ is suing Texas, Alabama, Arizona, South Carolina and almost every Southern and Border state for attempting to enforce the laws of their state and the laws of the United States of America the DOJ chooses to ignore. 

The DOJ has decided not to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act and many Immigration laws. You cannot enter the DOJ, US Congress, board an airplane, or even rent a library book without presenting a picture ID but the DOJ believes it is a racist plot to have voters present a photo ID to vote, which I have been doing for many years. 

Today, DOJ filed suit against Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a highly decorated thirty-year law enforcement officer formerly of the Justice Department. All DOJ wants to do is take over management of Sheriff Joe's office. And, now the President has suddenly evolved into a States-Righter, but only for the purposes of covering his newly-evolved fable about gay marriage  appreciated so much in Hollywood fundraising circles. Federalism a la carte?

As of today, the DOJ can't find the time or reason to prosecute former U.S Senator and Governor Corzine for "misplacing" $1.6 Billion of his customer's money. And, Mr. Corzine continues to bundle campaign funds for President Obama. Is it a coincidence that several of the key appointees in the DOJ are from the very firms they are refusing to investigate? And, yes they were all key bundlers as well. 
 
The IRS is harassing the Tea Party organizations while they and the DOJ are ignoring the shenanigans being perpetrated by the tax exempt organizations of the left-o-sphere.

It sure looks fast and furious at the DOJ.

The President should come out next week for more coal production to reverse this result.

Then, he could go to North Carolina and promote gay marriage.
