Soldier balks at deploying; says Obama isn’t president Says he shouldn’t have to go to Afghanistan because Obama is not a U.S. citizen By Lily Gordon - lgordon@ledger-enquirer.com E-Mail Print Comments (276) \| Recommend (23) Text Size: tool nameclose tool goes here U.S. Army Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook, set to deploy to Afghanistan, says he shouldn’t have to go. His reason? Barack Obama was never eligible to be president because he wasn’t born in the United States. Actually, Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961, two years after it became a state. Cook’s lawyer, Orly Taitz, who has also challenged the legitimacy of Obama’s presidency in other courts, filed a request last week in federal court seeking a temporary restraining order and status as a conscientious objector for his client. In the 20-page document — filed July 8 with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia — the California-based Taitz asks the court to consider granting his client’s request based upon Cook’s belief that Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States and is therefore ineligible to serve as commander-in-chief of the U.S. Armed Forces. Cook further states he “would be acting in violation of international law by engaging in military actions outside the United States under this President’s command. ... simultaneously subjecting himself to possible prosecution as a war criminal by the faithful execution of these duties.” Cook, a reservist, received the orders mobilizing him to active duty on June 9. According to this document, which accompanies Cook’s July 8 application for a temporary restraining order, he has been ordered to report to MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla., on Wednesday. From there, the Florida resident would go to Fort Benning before deploying overseas. A hearing to discuss Cook’s requests will take place in federal court here Thursday at 9:30 a.m. ledger-enquirer.com

I don't think so. The blemish is spreading and growing more and more obvious. He continually posts lies, worthless temperatures and anti-American posts whenever possible. He is attempting to make villians or the CIA, an institution without which we would be hopelessly vulnerable. He forcefully shoves his head in the sand and unfortunately exposes us to his naked derriere and offensive flatulence.

Ann, I have the blemish on ignore, but the many daily responses to it don't indicate any improvement. We need the ability to ignore posts responding to our ignorees like Blemish -- it would put a stop to the annoying endless stream of posts like "Blemish, it's cool where I live today." and "Blemish, you're lying again." This feature has been requested of SI Admin, but nothing has come of it, probably because it would reduce their clicks too much. You tell me - has the blemish shown any signs of blending into the balanced mainstream in this forum?
