Yeah, if I remember correctly Loose Change started out as a fictional account off 9/11, the guy making it made the claim that there was no wreckage and only showed photos of the pentagon after it had been cleaned up. He did this intentionally not to trick people, but because of how his fictional movie was supposed to go. While he was creating it, someone saw parts of it, thought it was real and then used claims from the fictional movie, such as no airplane parts at the Pentagon, in Loose Change.

And yes, there are plenty of pictures with airplane debris around the Pentagon.

Upon finding me through a mutual friend, he also asked if I was "still married" *wink wink.* When I told him yes, and happily, the conversation abruptly stopped. What a catch!

Wall o' text below for the birther conspiracy theory of birther conspiracy theories.

quote:

Where are the old Obama girlfriends?? Think about this and see if there's anything here you don't believe.

I hadn't thought about this - but where are Obama's past girlfriends, surely he had at least one? No past girl friends popping up anywhere?

Strange - strange to the point of being downright weird!

OK, this is just plain old common sense, no political agendas for either side. Just common knowledge for citizens of a country, especially American citizens, who know every little tidbit about every other president (and their wives) that even know that Andrew Jackson's wife smoked a corn cob pipe and was accused of adultery, or that Lincoln never went to school or Kennedy wore a back brace, or Truman played the piano.

We are Americans! Our media vets these things out! We are known for our humanitarian interests and caring for our 'fellow man.' We care, but none of us know one single
humanizing fact about the history of our own president.

Honestly, and this is a personal thing... but it's bugged me for years that no one who ever dated him ever showed up. Taken his charisma, which caused the women to be drawn to him so obviously during his campaign, looks like some lady would not have missed the opportunity. We all know about JFK's magnetism, McCain was no monk; Palin's courtship and even her athletic prowess were probed. Biden's aneurisms are no secret. Look at Cheney and Clinton - we all know about their heart problems. How could I have left out Wild Bill before or during the White House?

Nope... not one lady has stepped up and said, "He was soooo shy," or "What a great dancer!" Now look at the rest of what we know... no classmates, not even the recorder for the Columbia class notes ever heard of him. Who was the best man at his wedding? Start there. Check for groomsmen. Then get the footage of the graduation ceremony.

Has anyone talked to the professors? Isn't it odd that no one is bragging that they knew him or taught him or lived with him?

When did he meet Michele and how? Are there photos?

Every president provides the public with all their photos,etc. for their library. What has he released? Nada - other than what was in this so-called biography! And experts who study writing styles etc. claim it was not O's own words or typical of his speech patterns, etc.

Does this make any of you wonder? Ever wonder why no one ever came forward from Obama's past, saying they knew him, attended school with him, were his friend, etc? Not one person has ever come forward from his past.

This should really be a cause for great concern. Did you see the movie titled, The Manchurian Candidate?

Let's face it. As insignificant as we all are, someone whom we went to school with remembers our name or face... someone remembers we were the clown or the dork or the brain or the quiet one or the bully or something about us.

George Stephanopoulos, ABC News said the same thing
during the 2008 campaign. Even George questions why no one has acknowledged that the president was in his or her classroom or ate in the same cafeteria or made impromptu speeches on campus. Stephanopoulos was a classmate of Obama at Columbia-class of 1984. He says he never had a single class with him. Since he is such a great orator, why doesn't anyone in Obama's college class remember him? And, why won't he allow Columbia to release his records? Do you like millions of others; simply assume all this is explainable - even though no one can?

NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA

Looking for evidence of Obama's past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there, but not one remembers him. For example, Wayne Allyn Root was (like Obama) a political science major at Columbia, who graduated in 1983. In 2008, Root says of Obama, "I don't know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know me. I don't have a single classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia .. EVER!
Nobody recalls him.
Root adds that he was, "Class of '83 political science, pre-law" and says, "You don't get more exact or closer than that.. Never met him in my life, don't know anyone who ever met him."

At our 20th class reunion five years ago, who was asked to be the speaker of the class? Me. No one ever heard of Barack! And five years ago, nobody even knew who he was. The guy who writes the class notes, who's kind of the, as we say in New York , 'the macha' who knows everybody, has yet to find a person, a human who ever
met him."

Obama's photograph does not appear in the school's yearbook, and Obama consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia , provide school records, or provide the name of any former classmates or friends while at Columbia ..

How can this be?

NOTE: Wayne Allyn Root can easily be verified. He graduated valedictorian from his high school, Thornton-Donovan School , then graduated from Columbia University in 1983 as a Political Science major in the same '83 class in which Barack Hussein Obama states he was.

Some other interesting questions.

Why was Obama's law license inactivated in 2002?

Why was Michelle's law license inactivated by court order?
According to the U.S. Census, there is only one Barack
Obama - but 27 Social Security numbers and over 80 aliases..

WHAT!?

The Social Security number he uses now originated in
Connecticut where he is never reported to have lived.

No wonder all his records are sealed!

Please continue sending this out to everyone. Somewhere, someone had to know him in school... before he "reorganized" Chicago and burst upon the scene at the 2004 Democratic Convention and made us swoon with his charm, poise, and speaking pizzazz.

One of the biggest CONS this country has ever seen, and getting away with it. This is scary on many levels!

An addendum:

quote:

Let me quote Dr. Edwin Vieira, who wrote about this back in December 2008 before Obama was �sworn� into office:
If Obama is not �a natural born Citizen� or has renounced such citizenship, he is simply not eligible for �the Office of President� (Article II, Section 1, Clause 4). That being so, he cannot be �elected� by the voters, by the Electoral College, or by the House of Representatives (see Amendment XII). For neither the voters, nor the Electors, nor members of the House can change the constitutional requirement, even by unanimous vote inter sese (see Article V). If, nonetheless, the voters, the Electors, or the members of the House purport to �elect� Obama, he will be nothing but a usurper, because the Constitution defines him as such. And he can never become anything else, because a usurper cannot gain legitimacy if even all of the country aid, abets, accedes to, or acquiesces in his usurpation.
If Obama dares to take the Presidential �Oath or Affirmation� of office, knowing that he is not �a natural born Citizen,� he will commit the crime of perjury or false swearing (see Article II, Section 1, Clause 7). For, being ineligible for �the Office of President,� he cannot �faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States,� or even execute it at all, to any degree. Thus, his very act of taking the �Oath or Affirmation� will be a violation thereof! So, even if the chief justice of the Supreme Court himself looks the other way and administers the �Oath or Affirmation,� Obama will derive no authority whatsoever from it.
Third, his purported �Oath or Affirmation� being perjured from the beginning, Obama�s every subsequent act in the usurped �Office of President� will be a criminal offense under Title 18, United States Code, Section 242.
If Obama does become an usurper posturing as �the President,� Congress cannot even impeach him because, not being the actual President, he cannot be �removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors� (see Article II, Section 4).
For those who think Dr. Vieira Jr., Ph.D., J.D., is just some run-of-the-mill attorney, let me give you a very condensed bio: He holds four degrees from Harvard. For more than 30 years he has practiced law, with emphasis on constitutional issues. In the Supreme Court of the United States, he successfully argued or briefed the cases leading to the landmark decisions Abood v. Detroit Board of Education, Chicago Teachers Union v. Hudson and Communications Workers of America v. Beck. His two volume tome, �Pieces of Eight: The Monetary Powers and Disabilities of the United States Constitution,� is the most comprehensive study in existence of American monetary law and history viewed from a constitutional perspective.

Despite all the noise out there by Obama�s supporters, it is crystal clear the putative president was born with dual citizenship and is forever ineligible to be president.
Obama seized the office of president through fraud. As a usurper, he�s never held office. That�s what the word usurp means: to seize and hold (a position, office, power, etc.) by force or without legal right. Since he legally has never occupied the White House as president, he cannot be impeached.

Now, when I have pointed this out countless times to groups demanding impeachment, I get this response: I don�t care � we just have to get him out.

Those are people who proudly proclaim they only want to see the U.S. Constitution upheld. Those are people who state unequivocally that the usurper was never eligible to run because he�s not a natural born citizen under the U.S. Constitution.

You can�t have it both ways. In essence, what those folks are saying is we can do the same thing as Obama and his coconspirators: circumvent the Constitution.

But, the usurper has committed crimes while in office! Indeed, he has and continues to do so. Knowing he was not eligible to run, the putative president solicited campaign donations to the tune of about $700 million dollars. He can still be indicted for wire fraud.
Those who demand his impeachment are asking to set one of the worst legal precedents in our history: Any constitutionally ineligible thug can come along and buy his way into the White House. We�ll just impeach him later!

To impeach would also accomplish this: Every piece of legislation he�s signed into law would remain on the books. Let me quote Dr. Vieira one more time:
�Perhaps most importantly, Congress can pass no law while an usurper pretends to occupy �the Office of President.� The Constitution provides that �[e]very Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States� (Article I, Section 7, Clause 2). Not to a usurper posturing as �the President of the United States,� but to the true and rightful President. If no such true and rightful President occupies the White House, no �Bill� will or can, �before it become a Law, be presented to [him].� If no �Bill� is so presented, no �Bill� will or can become a �Law.� And any purported �Law� that the usurper �approve[s]� and �sign[s],� or that Congress passes over the usurper�s �Objections,� will be a nullity. Thus, if Obama deceitfully �enters office� as an usurper, Congress will be rendered effectively impotent for as long as it acquiesces in his pretenses as �President.�
Besides removing a usurper from office, that should be our second-highest consideration and why the outlaw Congress hasn�t moved against him. All 535 of them allowed this to happen, and now it�s gone so far; they don�t have the courage to take on the mess they�ve made.

The usurper can be indicted once out of office, but how to get him out? Please take the time to read my column on that process. Will he ever be indicted for his crimes? With enough public pressure, it can happen because his handlers would simply throw him under the bus as a liability.

There will be a massive push to keep the putative president off the ballot in dozens of states. It will come from candidates who understand the process discussed in my column above. Mark my words, what�s coming will be a nightmare for the DNC and Obama�s handlers. Time is running out for them to find another viable candidate; something will have to give. One way or the other, Obama�s crimes are going to catch up with him, but please stop working toward setting the wrong legal precedent. It�s beyond frustrating, I know, but either we live our words in supporting the U.S. Constitution or we take the wrong road opening the door for another ineligible candidate with enough money and corrupt individuals behind him to seize the office of president.** I thought this lady's comment was so good and knew you guys would appreciate it as well! Enjoy!

And, finally the comments:

I particularly like that the one friend thinks this is the "most intelligent sounding argument" he has ever heard from this person.

No word on whether the dog is his own dog, or an acting dog playing a part, or maybe a super-realistic robot dog.
