Promised "change you can believe in", and although the US public believed in it, no change was forthcoming.

Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) is the 44th president of the United States. He took office on January 20, 2009. Obama is a member of the Democratic Party and won the United States presidential election of November 4, 2008.

Background

Obama transferred from Occidental to Columbia University his junior year in college. His time at Columbia is cloaked in mystery. Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama, a political science major at Columbia who also graduated in 1983. In 2008, Root said of Obama, "I don't know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know me. I don't have a classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia. Ever! Nobody recalls him. I'm not exaggerating, I'm not kidding.” According to Professor Henry Graff, “I don’t consider him a Columbia student. I have no idea what he did on the Columbia campus. No one knows him.” In an age where the college records of presidential candidates are generally released to the public. Barack Obama stands alone in keeping his college records are sealed. In June of 1981, right after moving to NYC with almost no money, Obama was able to travel to Indonesia and Pakistan despite Pakistan being on the State Department’s “no travel” list in 1981. In Pakistan, Obama went on a partridge hunting trip with Muhammad Soomro, who would go on to become acting president of Pakistan in 2008.[1]

Nobel Peace Prize

Barack Obama was awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples".[2] Obama accepted this award in Oslo, Norway on December 10, 2009, with "deep gratitude and great humility."[3]

War of Terror

A couple of days before collecting his peace prize, Obama announced a "surge" (i.e. an increase, what was referred to in the Vietnam War as an "escalation") in troop numbers in the ongoing US invasion of Afghanistan.[4] Assassination without judicial process has become a routine part of US foreign policy under Obama. Not long after becoming president, he arranged what senior US officials called "Terror Tuesdays" in which he personally selects people for assassination by drone strikes. Jeremy Scahill noted that "One of the enduring legacies of Obama's presidency is how he has normalised assassination as a central component of what is called America's national security policy"[5] Obama is reported to have told his aides while discussing drone strikes that he’s "really good at killing people".[6]

Guantanamo Bay

On 22 January 2009, Obama signed an order to suspend proceedings at the Guantanamo military commission for 120 days and shut down the detention facility that year.[7][8] Wikipedia suggests that the prevention was hindered by an unnamed "military judge at Guantanamo" who on 29 January 2009 rejected the request in the case of Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri.[9] On 20 May 2009, the United States Senate passed an amendment to the Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2009 (H.R. 2346) by a 90–6 vote to block funds needed for the transfer or release of prisoners held at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp.[10]

On 7 January 2011, President Obama signed the 2011 National Defense Authorization Act, which, in part, placed restrictions on the transfer of Guantanamo prisoners to the mainland or to foreign countries, thus effectively preventing the closure of the facility.[11]

Nuclear Weapons

Obama has pledged to reduce the world’s stockpile of nuclear arms, whilst seeking to increase funding for nuclear weapons research. In 2010 he sought to expand the US nuclear budget and in October 2013, his Assistant Defense Secretary Madelyn Creedon told a panel in the U.S. House of Representatives that "modernization work of this kind is expensive, but there is no doubt that the investment ... is necessary", explaining why multi-billion dollar expenditure was needed to modernize the US nuclear arsenal in pursuit of President Barack Obama's goal of reducing it.[12][13]

Birth Certificate

Obama has been the subject of allegations that he was not born in the US, and as such is not eligible to be a US president. Donald Trump has vocally supported the claims of those who doubt Obama's eligibility, stating "This may go down as the greatest con in the history of American politics". On October 24, 2012, Trump offered to donate five million dollars to the charity of Obama's choice in return for the publication of his college and passport applications before October 31, 2012. Obama did not take him up on the offer.[14]

Loretta Fuddy, the Hawaii official in the dispute over Barack Obama’s birth certificate who lifted state restrictions to allow the White House to present the document to the public died in a plane crash on December 12th, 2013.[15][16] The other passengers walked away virtually unscathed (according to eyewitness reports) or had only minor injuries.[17]

The whitehouse released a PDF file which is claims if a scan of Obama's birth certificate, but doubts have been raised about its authenticity. In March 2014, the Alabama Supreme Court voted 7-2 to render “no opinion.”[18][19]

These allegations have had a relatively low profile in US and have not been backed by the commercially-controlled media.

French State Visit

French State Visit to the USA, February 2014

Issue № 1360 of Private Eye magazine reported on the February 2014 State Visit by French President François Hollande to the United States giving this verbatim account (in Franglais) of his welcome at the White House by President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.

Président Obama (pour c’est lui): Bonjour Monsieur Hollande-Saucy, et bienvenue à la Maison Blanche. Puis-je vous introduce ma femme, Michelle?
Hollande: Ah, Michelle, ma belle, comme les Beatles chantent!
Michelle: Enchantée, Monsieur Hollande-Saucy. Vous êtes si charmant!
Hollande: Mwah, mwah, mwah.
Obama: Ça c’est enough de ça, vous pouvez stop kissing sa main maintenant.
Hollande: Mais nous avons un relationship spécial.
Obama: Pas avec ma femme, buddy! C’est un relationship platonique.
Michelle: Comme votre relationship avec Beyoncé!
Obama: Honnêtement, j’ai never even remarqué sa bootie fabuleuse...
Michelle: Et what about la Première Ministre Danois, la blonde shell de bombe, qui took le selfie avec vous dans le middle de la très sérieuse funèbre de Monsieur Mandela?
Hollande: Mon dieu, vous êtes worse que la Rottweiler! Si je voulais écouter un argument domestique, je would’ve rester dans le Palais de l’Élysée.
Obama: Alors, down to le business. La France est une ally très importante, parce que... (il consulte ses notes), er, nous standons together, excepté dans les recent guerres varieuses quand vous étiez les fromage-mangeant surrender singes!
Hollande: Sacré blue! C’est très unfair. Nous sommes épaule à épaule avec vous.
Michelle: Non, votre nez est dans ma cleavage.
Hollande: Oh, pardon. Force d’habite. Mais, sérieusement, Monsieur Président, vous sûrement prefer nous Français aux sales rosbifs Anglais?
Obama: Non, non... (il consulte les notes encore)... je pense de vous également, comme je pense de mes daughters.
Hollande: Vous avez daughters? Ooh là là! Est-ce qu’elles sont locked up?
Michelle: Quoi?
Hollande: Je suis pied-loose et fancie-libre!
Michelle: Vous devez être locked up, Monsieur Randy Grénouille avec les glasses et le moped.
Obama: Assez, chérie, nous ne voulons pas un incident diplomatique. Laissons-nous exchanger les gifts.
Michelle: Voilà, pour vous un symbol de l’union de nos deux great cultures – un Grand Mac avec Fries Françaises.
Hollande: Magnifique! Et maintenant mon gift à toi, Michelle.
Michelle: Qu’est-ce que c’est?
Hollande: C’est mon numéro de téléfon.

Fin de relationship spécial.[20]

13 January 201228 April 2014The plaintiffs challenged the 2012 NDAA contending that indefinite detention on "suspicion of providing substantial support" to groups such as al-Qaeda and the Taliban was so vague as to allow unconstitutional, indefinite detention of civilians based on vague allegations. The Court of Appeals struck down an initial agreement, and the US Supreme Court concurred, arguing that the plaintiffs could not prove they would be affected by the law, so had no standing to contest it.

We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate," Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities. And he's gonna need help. And the kind of help he's gonna need is, he's gonna need you - not financially to help him - we're gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him.
