107. Fret not Doctor_J (btw - I actually hoop'd against him) - Know Ye This

Fri May 17, 2013, 08:27 PM

May 2013

To tyranny, cronyism and corruption massive;
it takes much muster to counter.

I know much more about the personal side of Obama than you (or even he) would care that I know.

It would enrage you - to see the whole truth.

[br]
[hr][br]
Be that as it may - Barack Obama has done much good.

Can he do more, of course he can. But he's just a man. JUST 1 Man!

It is up to U.S. to cajole him from his massive daily duties and responsibilities, into case specifics we find noteworthy. Even on this very day, the Fox, Ruppert Murdoch and Bain Capital Clear Channel Communication has undue influence over 200 million listeners with babbling banter B.S. massive. Our POTUS is compelled to respond to their obfuscating hyperbole;
because WE fail to stop the B.S. in its tracks. We are simply too damn busy making ends meet.

President Obama is trying to make ends meet for 300 million of U.S.!

I'm homeless, jobless, lost family, career, friends and my grandchildrens inheritance (I have 7 grandchildren whom I've never held and have not seen since October 31, 2004 - when my enemies kidnapped my daughter).

Yet, I'm here, working on Sampson's case, Congressman Conyers, Governor Siegelman's, and espionage/ pedophiles at Univ of Michigan - and more.

Because - someone has to be the troops for our Commander and Chief.

Help me - help you - help Governor Siegelman get free;
and then lets enjoy a Salute to what we did together - helping the POTUS see the light!

Please?

Obama should pardon Siegelman. As Holder noted, the President's power to pardon is absolute. SunSeeker May 2013 #5

He does want Holder suggests - unless we force the issue. laserhaas May 2013 #15

Perhaps he believes that Siegelman is guilty and deserves to be punished Freddie Stubbs May 2013 #87

You won't believe this - but Ted Stevens death is connected down yonder - to the crooked judge laserhaas May 2013 #21

The Judge in the Stevens case ruled that prosecutors had concealed exculpatory evidence Freddie Stubbs May 2013 #85

No - because the cases are rigged. In a legit world, judge Fuller would be recused laserhaas May 2013 #95

Siegelman has had plenty of time to appeal on the basis of Fuller's impartiality Freddie Stubbs May 2013 #139

Well, couldn't they make a deal for him to drop the appeal KamaAina May 2013 #46

One would think. Holder is a politician. He knows how to use the rhetoric. rhett o rick May 2013 #51

If they gave him a pardon - the appeal would be moot laserhaas May 2013 #63

If I were him - I wouldn't take a deal laserhaas May 2013 #61

I don't follow your line of thinking. How is this related? SleeplessinSoCal May 2013 #82

Thinking on this further, I'm so weary of being on defense. SleeplessinSoCal May 2013 #83

First of all - it's corruption that put Governor Siegelman in the precarious position. laserhaas May 2013 #94

Why hasn't someone made a movie about this? Even if half is conjecture, SleeplessinSoCal May 2013 #99
