| Obama Headquarters Opens Feb. 21st |
Meanwhile, some Republicans (or conservatives) who can't seem to grasp reality have started circulating another Internet slander about the President's birth certificate. It landed in Cincinnati-area e-mail boxes around 7:52 a.m. today -- and falsely claims that Obama is using the identity of a French immigrant. Perhaps not coincidentally, the latest installment of the smear appeared at about the time that Obama's local campaign is publicly launching its Cincinnati area efforts. Sadly, some of the President's opponents are clinging to distortions and unreality -- they are like Holocaust deniers. Or drunks on horses, they climb up one side and tumble off the other. This is the money line in the anti-Obama diatribe:
Let's all get this information out to everybody on our mailing lists. If the
voters of this great nation can succeed in bringing this lying, deceitful,
cheating, corrupt, impostor to justice it will be the
biggest and best news in decades for our country and the world.
Snopes.com says the birther e-mail has been around for about nine months and is easily debunked. Obama's SSN is different from the dead the Frenchman whose identity he allegedly is using. However, if you want to read -- and see for yourself the birther slander now making its rounds in Cincinnati -- the e-mail is below. Give it the complete lack of credibility it deserves:
The Plot Thickens
An intensive investigation has revealed the identity of the man whose SocialSecurity number (SSN) is being used by President Obama:
Jean Paul Ludwig, who was born in France in 1890, immigrated to theUnitedStates in 1924, and was assigned SSN 042-68-4425 (Obama's current SSN) on orabout March 1977.
Ludwig lived most of his adult life in Connecticut . Because of that,his SSN begins with the digits 042, which are among only a select fewreserved for Connecticut residents.
Obama never lived or worked in that state! Therefore, there is no reason onearth for his SSN to start with the digits 042. None whatsoever!
Now comes the best part! Ludwig spent the final months of his life in Hawaii, where he died.
Conveniently, Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Payne Dunham, worked part-time inthe Probate Office in the Honolulu Hawaii Courthouse, andtherefore had access to the SSNs of deceased individuals.
The Social Security Administration was never informed of Ludwig's death, andbecause he never received Social Security benefits there were no benefits tostop and therefore, no questions were ever raised.
The suspicion, of course, is that Dunham, knowing her grandson was not aU.S. Citizen, either because he was born in Kenya or became a citizen ofIndonesia upon his adoption by Lolo Soetoro simply scoured the probaterecords until she found someone who died who was not receiving SocialSecurity benefits, and selected Mr. LudwigsConnecticut SSN for Obama.
Just wait until Trump gets past the birth certificate and onto the issue ofBarry O's use of a stolen SSN. You will see leftist heads exploding, becausethey will have no way of defending Obama.
Although many Americans do not understand the meaning of the term "naturalborn" there are few who do not understand that if you are usingsomeone else's SSN it is a clear indication of fraud.
Let's all get this information out to everybody on our mailing lists. If thevoters of this great nation can succeed in bringing this lying, deceitful,cheating, corrupt, impostor to justice it will be thebiggest and best news in decades for our country and the world.
XXX has trained me to research my facts when blasting Obama (no matter how much blasting he deserves). Since we despise Obama at least as much as the left despised Bush, this takes all the fun out of it.
ReplyDeleteSnopes.com refutes both the SSN claim as well as the alleged birth certificate irregularities. Snopes is not always the final word on issues, since my research shows they lean just a tad left.
However another source, TruthorFiction.com, stands with them in refuting the allegations.
This story is a very good deflect of what the true verifiable fact is: SSA HAS VERIFIED THAT THE SS# OBAMA IS USING 042-68-4425 HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED TO HIM. FACT don't be distracted. Whether that SS# is Ludwig's or not makes no difference. The fact is that it doesn't belong to Obama and that he is illegally using it.
DeleteThese birthers are sick. In my opinion, they are guided by hatred rooted in racism. They see a president with black skin and paranoia strikes deep. Get over it birthers, Obama is going to win another four years.
ReplyDeleteYou know I could care less about his birth certificate. In fact I hope that the one he presented is authentic. It proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is NOT a natural born citizen as required by the Constitution. I do care about the Constitution. And the Constitution mentions nothing about being black. All the law suits that charge Obama is not natural born. Not one of them mention anything about Obama being black. My question to you, what do you have against black people since you brought up the racist issue?
DeleteLets be clear none of these dullards have won a case in the “U.S. Courts”, maybe in their simple minds (if they have any) but not in our “U.S. Courts”, so unless Birthers/ Teabaggers, whatever you want to be called, win a court case, we will continue to see as dullards, liars or racist or maybe all three. Deal with that baby!
DeleteIf you're tired of the birthers, stop covering them! Nobody cares what they think except liberal bloggers looking for something to wine about. You don't see conservatives relentlessly covering Casey Coston's legal problems.
ReplyDeleteYes, I do want to "wine about" those birthers. Pass me a bottle of cheap Merlot. I would choke on brie and chablis. Birthers ruin my apetite for good stuff.
DeleteIs it slander or libel?
ReplyDeleteA slander is the utterance of a falsehood damaging to a person's character or reputation. Libel is publishing it. That's the short version of what I learned at Columbia U Law.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this is the "Jim Crowbar" (don't know if I invented that term, but I've used in another entry on this blog, so I'm claiming it) that is the fantasy weapon that they can use to pry The President from office.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to be pragmatic. I don't see evil when I see Obama. I see a an elected President who was handed a mess and has been trying to fix it with an imperfect tool. Congress appears to be broken more often than not. The latest news of congressmen profiting by insider trading that has sent others to jail and/or fined for the same thing is just sickening. They should follow the same laws as everyone else. (If birthers cannot agree with that, they bottom falls out of their argument.) This is a side show. Can we get back to the business of running the country without hyperbole? Hell, the facts are scary enough as it is. One the slighty silly side, I see a great need for the EPA. Why? No clean water, no beer. Talk about your nightmare scenarios!

Mitt Romney's Mexican father, hmmmmm.......Are the simple minded "BIRTHERS", going to ask Romney for his birth certificate? We all know this was never about a birth certificate, if it was then these same people would be asking Romney for his. It's about small minded people who hate African Americans and do not have the brains to review a President's policy so they make something up. So sad, so sad.
