Since the Supreme Court has now prevented itself from acknowledging the question of whether Barack H. Obama is or is not an Article II “natural born citizen” based on the Kenyan/British citizenship of Barack Obama’s father at the time of his birth (irrespective of whether Barack Obama is deemed a “citizen” born in Hawaii or otherwise) as a prerequisite to qualifying to serve as President of the United States under the Constitution — the Court having done so three times and counting, first before the Nov 4 general election and twice before the Dec 15 vote of the College of Electors — it would seem appropriate, if not necessary, for all Executive Branch departments and agencies to secure advance formal advice from the United States Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel as to how to respond to expected inquiries from federal employees who are pledged to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States” as to whether they are governed by laws, regulations, orders and directives issued under Mr. Obama during such periods that said employees, by the weight of existing legal authority and prior to a decision by the Supreme Court, believe in good faith that Mr. Obama is not an Article II “natural born citizen”.

Obama or any of his team members could have said that they weren’t going to interfere with the prosecutor’s investigation the minute the story broke. Instead, we were treated to a rapid devolvement from Lightbringer to Wizard of Uhh’s by the assertion that there had been “no contact”, Axelrod stating that he “misspoke” about any contact at all(considering the scandal, that’s a pretty big thing to “misspeak” about), and then Obama asserting that he had argued that there was no “inappropriate contact” when he did no such thing. The comment that they didn’t want to interfere in the investigation came a week after the story broke. It’s only due to the fact that Obama is the media’s creation that they haven’t roasted him repeatedly in press conferences.

And let’s be honest, if Bush or any other Republican had acted this way you would be screaming “WHAT DID THEY KNOW AND WHEN DID THEY KNOW IT??!!” But holding your own guy accountable when he has a potential public relations disaster on his hands and demanding accountability would take a smidgen of integrity.

Even if Obama is clean on this, doesn’t it bother you that Obama and his staff would blatantly lie about such superficial bullshit? Is this a pattern of behavior that you want to see in the Oval Office for the next 4-8 years–that someone who would so blatantly lie when by all accounts appears to be clean? What’s going to happen if he ends up getting caught in something REALLY egregious, are you going to make excuses for him then, too?

Dana Milbank is complaining about Obama’s failure to answer. I’m complaining about Obama’s tendency to trash talk when he doesn’t like what people say to him.

I believe that his only desire in life is to be, and that he has no real philosophical center to base his life-quest upon.

If this is the case, we have probably elevated the most dangerous type of individual to a position of great power.
The future will tell whether he is just going to be incompetent, or a sociopath.
