  1. I think you finally got a handle on this positive self-talk thing.

    Really can't agree. It is a bad idea to allow nepotism in the public sector no matter how qualified the appointee. A personal relationship always has the potential to cloud one's judgement.

    Turns out there is a document. In fact there is more than one. The Hawaii issued certificate of live birth, AND the birth announcement in the local newspaper at the time. Now that is curious. The Conspiracy must have been vast and deep! :D

    Trump appointed his son in law to a position that won't amount to a hill of beans. At a time when there aren't five people in DC who can be trusted to not be a mole trying to destroy his administration.

    Kennedy appointed his unqualified brother to be attorney general, the post that decides whether the president himself has done anything illegal and if the presidents enemies should be prosecuted.
    It cannot get any more improper than that. And yet democrats fell in line and went right along with it.

    As a tax payer you're happy to pay the son in law's salary to do something that won't amount to a "hill of beans."?

    Surely we can afford to pay him more than that. Both D.C. and Palm beach are high cost of living areas.:D

    obama failed to answer a subpoena and show up in court and proffer evidence of his birth to a court in Georgia.

    There is no court tested evidence of where Obama was born.
    That is a fact.
    Everything else is hearsay and potential baloney.
    Maybe he was born in Hawaii we just don't know. none of know.

    here is proof of what I say.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_presidential_eligibility_litigation

    Georgia[edit]
    Several Georgian citizens (Carl Swensson and another Georgian represented by Georgia state representative Mark Hatfield, a Georgian represented by Taitz, and a Georgian represented by Van Irion) filed challenges with the Georgia Secretary of State, Brian Kemp, regarding Obama's inclusion on the March primary ballot.[130] Kemp referred the challenges to Deputy Chief Judge Michael Malihi, an administrative law judge, who denied Obama's motion to dismiss them and scheduled a hearing for January 26.[131]

    On January 23, Malihi denied Obama's motion to quash a subpoena issued by Taitz to compel Obama to appear, saying that Obama did not show why he should not be at the hearing or how his testimony would not be helpful.[132] On January 25, Obama's attorney requested that Kemp halt the proceedings, and indicated that Obama would no longer participate in the litigation pending Kemp's decision.[133] Kemp denied their request and warned that their non-participation would be "at your own peril".[134]

    Neither Obama nor his attorney appeared at the January 26 hearing. This normally would result in a default order, but the challengers requested Malihi to allow them to go ahead with the hearing and rule on "the merits of their arguments and evidence".[135][136] Taitz called eight witnesses (including herself), and presented seven exhibits in support of her claims that Obama was not a natural-born citizen, has used multiple names, has multiple Social Security numbers, and used a fake birth certificate. Taitz asked Malihi to find Obama in contempt for failing to appear.[137][138][139]
