Judge assails cases doubting Obama's citizenship By NEDRA PICKLER WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge on Thursday threw out a lawsuit questioning President Barack Obama's citizenship, lambasting the case as a waste of the court's time and suggesting the plaintiff's attorney may have to compensate the president's lawyer. In an argument popular on the Internet and taken seriously practically nowhere else, Obama's critics argue he is ineligible to be president because he is not a "natural-born citizen" as the Constitution requires. In response last summer, Obama's campaign posted his Hawaiian birth certificate on its Web site. But the lawsuit argues it is a fake and that Obama was actually born in his father's homeland of Kenya, even though Hawaiian officials have said the document is authentic. "This case, if it were allowed to proceed, would deserve mention in one of those books that seek to prove that the law is foolish or that America has too many lawyers with not enough to do," U.S. District Judge James Robertson said in his written opinion. The lawsuit didn't even use Obama's legal name but called him "Barry Soetoro," the name he went by while attending elementary school in Indonesia. It's one of many that has been filed claiming Obama is ineligible to serve as president. Robertson ordered plaintiff's attorney John Hemenway of Colorado Springs, Colo., to show why he hasn't violated court rules barring frivolous and harassing cases and shouldn't have to pay Obama's attorney, Bob Bauer, for his time arguing that the case should be thrown out.

Purely a 20th century phenomonem. I could care less what he does in private or did 20 years ago.
I'm saying that the dollar is worth less (it buys less) now than it was in 1912. Do you disagree with that?
Not dwelling...compating.
It's not that cut and dried a proposition, mon frer. That said, according to what you have provided above, it does.
Tell me again why there are so many crooks, pedophiles and freaks in office?
Actually, what you've provided shows that it decreased. {Part of the problem is that you gold bugs don't allow for the fact that the value of gold becomes free flaoting as well when it is no longer tied to a currency and that speculation can lead to over-valuation.
Tell my why there are so many in any neighborhood.
Then provide info showing that the buying power of the dollar has increased since the imposition of the Federal Reserve. IOW, show me how the Fed has been beneficial to all of us. As you appear to defend its existence, surely you can do at least that.
Using CPI it exists on this page and was provided by you.
Earth to war: I've already stated that you're incorrect on that. Kindly update your database.
I told you wahy. It removed the Congress from the equation. At every monetary turn they either reacted too slowly, overreacted, or simply failed to act.
LOL! No wonder you think Obama's the man. You can't even discern when you've been screwed.
1.00 = 77 cents is a decrease in value correct?
And the Fed has been the model of restraining the money powers? How much LSD do you eat?
Oops...used either and gave three...that's death by verbosity where I come from... Kinda like ending a statement with a preposition...
It' an increase in buying power. Hello? Anyone home?
In most civilized societies, crooks and pedophiles don't end up being rewarded for their crimes. In my neighborhood, they end up dead, in jail or at least with an ass-kicking.
Have you been paying attention to how the Fed has actually starved the system of dollars? Has it escaped your attention that in this "crisis" that the value of the dollar has RISEN?
Nope. Do I need to explain to you what inflation is when it comes to purchasing power? It ERODES it.
I'd like to see a news story from your neighborhood regarding the routine lynchings or assaults of pedophiles. Start with the local priest.
Really? Your graph made my point, doof.
Inflation IS the erosion of purchasing power. That power is eroded by actual wealth being bled from us via the imposition of central banking. IOW, the Federal Reserve exists to rip us off via that erosion/inflation.
An increase in the money supply isn't a starvation of dollars.
Wha...huh?
If you needed $5.00 to complete a purchase and I gave you $2.00...I've increased your money supply have I not?
If you keep creating money out of thin air (fractional reserve banking), you're not starving the system of dollars. Explain the velocity of money in two words. I know you can do it.
Money gets "created" several different ways but mostly through the demand for dollars which can then "turn over" in the economy several times over - as the last chart above shows. I can create 10billion bushels of corn out of a fractional amount of seed but if the demnd is for 15billion bushels what happens? Why are assets used as leverage rather than collateral?
I did above...turn over...change hands...me give...you take...
It's created by banks. Even the Federal Reserve used to admit it before they pulled this book: "Changes in the quantity of money may originate with actions of the Federal Reserve System (the central bank), depository institutions (principally commercial banks), or the public. The major control, however, rests with the central bank. The actual process of money creation takes place primarily in banks. As noted earlier, checkable liabilities of banks are money. These liabilities are customers' accounts. They increase when customers deposit currency and checks and when the proceeds of loans made by the banks are credited to borrowers' accounts. In the absence of legal reserve requirements, banks can build up deposits by increasing loans and investments so long as they keep enough currency on hand to redeem whatever amounts the holders of deposits want to convert into currency. This unique attribute of the banking business was discovered many centuries ago. It started with goldsmiths. As early bankers, they initially provided safekeeping services, making a profit from vault storage fees for gold and coins deposited with them. People would redeem their "deposit receipts" whenever they needed gold or coins to purchase something, and physically take the gold or coins to the seller who, in turn, would deposit them for safekeeping, often with the same banker. Everyone soon found that it was a lot easier simply to use the deposit receipts directly as a means of payment. These receipts, which became known as notes, were acceptable as money since whoever held them could go to the banker and exchange them for metallic money. Then, bankers discovered that they could make loans merely by giving their promises to pay, or bank notes, to borrowers. In this way, banks began to create money. More notes could be issued than the gold and coin on hand because only a portion of the notes outstanding would be presented for payment at any one time."
Try "money multiplier".
Try no... Velocity is the measurement of how many times a single dollar turns over in the economy. Velocity does not increase GDP and the dollar, as measured in velocity, stays whole...unlike the... ...basic multiplier is when 1 dollar is deposited in a bank and it results in 1- minus the % in reserve requirement cents remaining being lent. That CAN and DOES increase GDP but the original dollar gets split out several times...
Which is two ways that it is created. So? It's also created when a something is securitized using leverage in which case the market has "created" money and a bank or the Fed steps in and meets the demand.
Actually...that is three ways... I've read through that several times now and it differs from what I've ststed here not at all.
Mud shark.
Good morning Mr. DAWG. I'd like to have the time and patience to learn how
Stanley Durham, single mother and welfare queen, was able to pursue a PhD in
anthropology in Indonesia. Being the double digit IQ, white racist that I am,
my tiny mind boggles at the mechanics necessary for this to have happened.
LOL 'night amigo
Sleep tight, mi amigo.
She may have had financial support from the American Communist Party or one of its sympathetic ancillary orgs. Which is to say, support from the same people whose ad bux keep newspapers from printing the race of violent crime perps or most molestations committed by The Rebbe.
If someone's claiming to be president, I'd say we have a right to know who he is.

Changes in the quantity of money may originate with actions of the Federal Reserve System (the central bank), depository institutions (principally commercial banks), or the public. The major control, however, rests with the central bank. The actual process of money creation takes place primarily in banks.

Another PURE coincidence !
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams
