Alan Caruba, an astute observer of the American political scene has, once again, pointed out the elemental truth about one of the potentially greatest and most costly hoaxes in American history. Here is absolute confirmation of the “Emperor has No Clothes” syndrome and elected officials decline to act. Perhaps because the democrat party will be proven to be a corrupt fraud and many important people will be facing “Madoff-like” prison terms for being party to defrauding the American public. Or, perhaps because politicians in both parties are stealing the taxpayer’s money and want the gravy train to continue.
Here is what Alan Caruba had to say …
Obama Could Not Pass a Background Check
By Alan Caruba
President Barack Obama could not pass a background check if he was applying for a gun permit or a job. Why has this man been allowed to remain in office or take the oath for a second time?
During the 2008 campaign, it was known that:
- His official, long form birth records were SEALED.
- His Occidental College records were SEALED.
- His Columbia College records were SEALED.
- His Harvard College records were SEALED.
- His College thesis – SEALED.
- His Harvard Law Review articles – SEALED.
- His Indonesian adoption records – SEALED.
- His passport file – SEALED.
- His medical records – Unavailable
- His baptism records – Unavailable
- His papers from his service in the Illinois legislature – Unavailable
- His Illinois State Bar Association records - Unavailable
- The birth certificate that the White House released is reputed by document experts to be false.
- The Social Security number he has used was issued to someone else. He could not pass an E-Verify test. The first three numbers of his Social Security ID are reserved for applicants with Connecticut addresses, 040-049. The number was issued between 1977 and 1979. Obama’s earliest employment reportedly was in 1975 at a Baskin-Robbins in Oahu, Hawaii.
Many of the “facts” he cited in his two memoirs have turned out to be questionable, if not outright lies; particularly as regards his birth father, a citizen of Kenya at the time of his birth.
A job applicant with Obama’s paper trail would not even pass the smell test, but this man was elected and reelected. The role of journalism is to vet the credentials of anyone running for public office, let alone the highest office in the land. Instead, he has been protected against all inquiries and those making them have been called “birthers” or simply ignored.
Obama so routinely lies that keeping track of them would require a team of full-time archivists.
In August 2009 he said, “I have not said I was a single-payer supporter”, but in June 2003, as an Illinois state senator, he said, “I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer universal health care system.”
In March 2006, he said “Leadership means the buck stops here…I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.” He is now into his second political battle to raise the debt limit. In July 2011, he said “It is not acceptable for us not to raise the debt ceiling and to allow the U.S. government to default.”
In response to a 1996 questionnaire he said “I favor legalizing same-sex marriages and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages, but in November 2008 he said, “I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage.”
He spent his first term blaming the nation’s economic ills on his predecessor, George W. Bush, saying in July 2008, that “he added $4 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion in debt that we are going to have to pay back. That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic.” Today, the debt stands at more than $16 trillion because Obama added more to the debt than all previous presidents combined. For the first time in U.S. history, our credit rating was reduced and rating services are warning they will reduce it again.
He has a record of using executive orders to bypass the constitutional powers and duties of Congress. His most recent effort was 23 such orders regarding gun control at the same time Americans are buying guns as fast as they can, fearing the loss of the right to own and bear arms. This is the same President who just signed a law granting him and his family lifetime Secret Service protection.
He used “executive privilege” to cover-up the “Fast and Furious” scandal in which guns were allowed to be purchased and transported for use by Mexican drug cartel members.
He lied about the attack in Benghazi, Libya that killed a U.S. ambassador and encouraged members of his staff to spread the lie that it was “spontaneous” and the result of a video no one has seen.
He and the Democratic Party imposed “Obamacare” on the nation and its passage is already undermining the provision of healthcare services, driving up the cost of health insurance, and causing physicians and the providers of testing and other services to leave the profession and close their doors.
He no longer can blame President Bush, so now he blames the Republican Party that has offered solutions to the nation’s economic crisis that has worsened every day he has been in office. His foreign policy has consisted of apologizing for America and standing aside while one nation after another in the Middle East and northern Africa has fallen under the control of Islamist radicals. He is doing nothing to avoid the sequestration cuts that would harm national defense and a range of other government functions.
He has failed us. Congress has failed us.
It has taken four years for a case challenging his right to hold office and the Supreme Court has scheduled a “conference” in February that might decide to ignore a current case.
The mainstream media has failed us and we only hope the courts will not fail us.
He should not be administered the oath of office for a second time.

Obama, himself, could clear up the controversy in a matter of hours by releasing his records to the United States Supreme Court – they can remain under seal and be verified by a Court-appointed “Special Master.” During this process, perhaps the President of the United States should turn over Presidential responsibilities to a man whose eligibility for office is beyond question and serves as second in command. Even the thought of Joe Biden being in charge makes me ill – but his eligibility for office is beyond question.
The Constitution of the United States must be respected and the eligibility of our highest elected officials cannot be questioned. There is a reason Obama resists turning over those documents – the most likely guess is that he used some form of dual-citizenship status to claim admissions and financial aid support when he entered school. How else can you explain how he managed to travel to Indonesia when ordinary Americans were prohibited from traveling?
However, what you cannot explain is the apparently fraudulent Social Security Number or the questioned birth certificate.
Bottom line …
Remember Rule #5 of Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals – Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. By making others seem to be fringe lunatics, Obama and his fellow travelers manage to actually side-step the issue and continue along their malevolent path.
Time for Congressional politicians to grow a pair and start protecting the United States Constitution. Or be tried for perjury for failing to uphold their oath of office – which is the true meaning of perjury; the willful act of swearing a false oath.
Assuming that Barack Obama pays taxes, the use of a fraudulent Social Security Number is a crime. Which, rises to the test of “high crimes and misdemeanors” and those in high office are generally held to a higher standard than ordinary citizens.
Thanks, Alan, for an interesting read.

Perjury, is the willful act of swearing a false oath.
