I think this is important to keep an eye on. The resolution is "postponed"...not off the floor. So, it will come up again. |

It's just another one of these "National Blueberry Yogurt Day" sort of bills that Congress spends time on when it should be doing real work. [link to theplumline.whorunsgov.com] "Okay, this is getting really good. Dem Rep. Neil Abercrombie of Hawaii is going to introduce a resolution on the House floor today that seems designed to put House GOPers who are flirting with birtherism in a jam. The measure Abercrombie will introduce commemorates the 50th anniversary of Hawaii’s statehood. But here’s the rub, his spokesman tells me: It describes Hawaii as Barack Obama’s birthplace. “In the language of the resolution, there is a statement that Hawaii is the birthplace of the 44th President of the United States,” Abercrombie spokesman Dave Helfert confirms. That confronts House GOPers with a choice: They can vote for the measure, and endorse the idea that Obama was born in Hawaii, which could earn the wrath of birthers. Or they can vote against commemorating the 50th state’s joining of our blessed Union. Or GOPers can skip the vote, but that could look nutty. “Far be it from us to try to stir things up,” Helfert said puckishly. “The president was born there, so what are you gonna do? Not mention it?”" |

I fear it will be in the riots that many are saying will come. Obama is a dictator in the making. Just how far he gets will be the measure of our country and we're not doing so well right about now. |
