Something Deadly Serious

pulp - Your observation raises important questions. Why (indeed) wouldn't a president make his birth certificate public and quash any spurious claims? Is it just a childish 'stick in the eye’ prank to agitate and confound critics? Or is he really hiding something - foreign birth, perhaps; or his (true) religion at birth? Foreign birth would disqualify him from being president. His religion would not. Still, it might have caused him to lose the election had something like this come out in time.

Foreign-born or not, there are other unsettling mysteries: Obama's school and health records (under seal) for example. Obviously someone wanted Obama elected very badly. It is interesting to note that all the media outlets that have so staunchly refused to delve into Obama's past are now struggling financially. Who specifically was it that propped them up during the campaign? Have the same entities (or entity) withdrawn their support now that their man is comfortably ensconced?

More questions than answers. No doubt, something big has occurred. We all sense it. Some already see the outlines of it - those of us who can read between the lies (lines); those who have not totally swallowed the fiction. All the rest is denial which is rampant in America today. America is in a coma, waiting for a prince to kiss her awake; waiting for a child to shout, “Look everybody! The emperor has no clothes!”

Spencer has it wrong when he says that there's no difference between Republicans and Democrats. To the extent that Bush had fallen away from his 'conservative' principles only shows he too was compromised in some way by the same dynamic that ultimately brought Obama to power.

It’ll be interesting to read Bush’s autobiography provided he tells (or is allowed to tell) the truth. I have always thought of Bush as a ‘good’ (if weak) man. I believe he knows the answers to many of the questions some of us have been asking. His silence now only underscores that something deadly serious is afoot.
