Psychiatric Evaluation of Presidential Candidates
This did not happen for 2008 elections, lets make it a requirement for 2012.
To: U.S. Congress
The 2008 presidential election in America is the most crucial election in this country's history, not because the issues are that critical but because of Senator Barack Hussein Obama. Sen. Obama likely suffers from narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). NPD is a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and a lack of empathy. The following are some of the symptoms of NPD that can be seen in Sen. Obama. He subtly misrepresents facts, opportunistically shifts positions, ignores data that conflicts with his fantasy world, is overly confident and acts presidential despite commensurate merits and his modest life achievements, considers himself above the law, talks about himself in third person, has messianic vision of himself and his “mission”, displays false modesty while often evincing haughtiness, sublimates aggression and behaves as eternal adolescents. [Please see this article. http://www.faithfreedom.org/obama.html ]
NPD is the prime disorder experienced by madmen of history -- from Hitler to Stalin, Mao, Kim, Osama, Khomeini, Saddam and Idi Amin. These men wreaked havoc and killed millions. Yet, they were confident they were right in what they were doing. Few suspected their insanity because narcissists are often intelligent and cunning.
When World War II ended and its horrors became known, the world said, “Never Again.” “Never Again” can only work if we choose our leaders wisely. Once a madman is in power it is already too late. Nothing can stop a mad leader except death or war.
It is time we people of the world demand that those who aspire to become heads of any country, particularly of the USA, submit to rigorous mental check ups. Millions of lives depend on the sanity of these leaders. If the physical health of presidential candidates is important, how much more important is their mental health?
Therefore, we the people, urge the lawmakers of all democratic countries and particularly the U.S. Congress to raise the issue and make this requirement into a law. It makes no sense that pilots should be required to submit to a psychiatric evaluation for operating commercial aircraft while no such test is needed to run a country. A narcissist in the White House would spell disaster for mankind.
In the spirit of fairness, we are asking all presidential and vice-presidential candidates in this election to submit to psychiatric evaluation.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned

Dear Friend of the Constitution,
Update on The biggest political cover up in American history
Worse than Watergate, Whitewatergate, or any of the other cover ups of previous administrations, is the question of whether Barack Hussein Obama is eligible to serve as President of the United States of America... OR, is he a FRAUD, a USURPER, a man with no legal authority to sit in the position that he now claims to hold?
Barack Obama could simply put the issue to rest RIGHT NOW by releasing his ACTUAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE! But he WON'T! Instead, he has had teams of attorneys all over the country, fighting "tooth and nail" to thwart the efforts of the United States Justice Foundation (USJF), and our allies in a number of states, to compel him to produce an ACTUAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE and to prove that he is Constitutionally eligible to serve as President of these United States!
HELP US EXPOSE THE OBAMA COVER-UP -- DON'T LET HIM
RIP OUR CONSTITUTION TO SHREDS!
Ohio, Mississippi, Hawaii, and California! These are the states where USJF has been involved in lawsuits seeking an answer to this critical constitutional question!
And now, in California, just like in every lawsuit filed over this issue, the Obama team of attorneys, working with liberal allies in the office of California Attorney General Jerry Brown, has convinced a Sacramento County Superior Court judge to dismiss USJF's suit to force the truth to come out about whether Barack Obama is a "natural born" citizen, and, therefore, eligible to serve as President of the United States.
BUT WE'RE NOT GIVING UP! Our clients in this case, including 2008 candidate for President of the United States, Alan Keyes, have given USJF the go ahead to file an appeal of this decision!
AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO -- BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP TO DO IT!
HELP US EXPOSE THE OBAMA COVER-UP -- DON'T LET HIM
RIP OUR CONSTITUTION TO SHREDS!
A number of apologists for Barack Obama have gone to great lengths to belittle USJF and our allies in the fight to preserve our Constitution. However, the questions that they cannot answer are:
If Barack Hussein Obama has nothing to hide, WHY doesn't he just make his real birth certificate public? WHY has he spent a almost $900,000.00 in attorney fees, for, among other things, fighting USJF's efforts to obtain his ACTUAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE? The more that he fights these efforts to see this document, the more that you have to wonder, WHY?
Obama supporters want everyone to believe that only "fringies," the people that they now call "birthers," in other words, only people that they claim are outside of the main stream of thinking, question whether Mr. Obama is truly eligible to serve as President of the United States of America. But the truth of the matter is that more and more people, including many federal, state, and local elected officials, AND many in the military, are questioning whether Barack Hussein Obama is, indeed, a "natural born citizen," a Constitutional requirement for him to serve as President of these United States.
The citizens of this country have the right to know if Barack Obama is, indeed, eligible to serve as President! And we here at the United States Justice Foundation are going to take our lawsuit all the way up to the United States Supreme Court, if that is what is necessary, to find out the answer to this critical question.
This fight to discover the truth will be neither easy nor inexpensive, but isn't protecting the Constitution worth it? And that is exactly what this legal battle is all about,
PROTECTING THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION!
HELP US EXPOSE THE OBAMA COVER-UP -- DON'T LET HIM
RIP OUR CONSTITUTION TO SHREDS!
Barack Obama wants you to ignore what he is doing, he wants you to ignore the U.S. Constitution, he wants you to think that the parts of the Constitution that he does not agree with (like the requirements to serve as President) are unimportant.
In effect, he wants to destroy the U. S. Constitution and reshape this country into his own image of what he wants it to be.
And Barack Obama's attorneys have now taken another big step to destroy the Constitution of the United States -- this time in a California State Court. Those attorneys, working with liberal California State Attorney General Jerry Brown, convinced the Judge in our case to rule that only Members of Congress can challenge the qualifications of Mr. Obama, or any candidate, to serve as President.
And, the Judge further ruled that such a challenge could only be made on the 6th day of January following the meeting of the Presidential electors, at the session of Congress where the vote of the Electoral College is counted and the results announced. To use the Judge's words, this is "the exclusive means for challenges to the qualifications of President..."
That means that no one, except a Member of Congress, and only on one certain day of the year following the Presidential election, can challenge the qualifications of a President-Elect! And then, the challenge can only be successful if a majority of the Members of Congress support the challenge! And that means that the politicians, not the people, are in control of who becomes President if there is an eligibility issue!
Is that what you want? Do you believe that the majority party in both Houses of Congress should be deciding who is eligible to serve as President? Do you want Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, or Harry Reid deciding who is President?
That means that the requirements of the U. S. Constitution as to the eligibility of the man or woman who runs for President to serve as President are meaningless!
Do you believe that the Constitution is a meaningless document? Do you believe that a majority of the Members of Congress have the right to ignore it? To render it of no force and effect?
The Trial Court Judge in our case did! But we are not going to accept his decision. We are not going to accept the legal arguments made by Barack Hussein Obama's attorneys, and those by attorneys from liberal California Attorney General Jerry Brown. We are going to keep fighting this monumentally important legal battle all the way up to the United States Supreme Court, if that is what is necessary.
IT'S A BATTLE THAT WE MUST FIGHT!
IT'S A BATTLE THAT WE MUST WIN!
IT'S A BATTLE THAT WILL DECIDE WHETHER THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL REMAIN A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC, OR WHETHER WE WILL JOIN THE DUST HEAP OF HISTORY AS JUST ANOTHER FAILED EXPERIMENT!
USJF IS IN A BATTLE THAT COULD CHANGE THE HISTORY OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY! -- but we need YOUR help to WIN!
IT'S A BATTLE TO SAVE OUR CONSTITUTION!
IT'S A BATTLE TO SAVE OUR COUNTRY!
HELP US EXPOSE THE OBAMA COVER-UP -- DON'T LET HIM
RIP OUR CONSTITUTION TO SHREDS!
We MUST learn the truth about whether Barack Obama is a "natural born citizen!
But to blunt our efforts to learn the truth, the Trial Court also blocked our subpoena for the college records of Mr. Obama! These vital records could have proven whether Barack Hussein Obama is eligible to serve as President of the United States, or whether he is a USURPER, a FRAUD, sitting in the oval office without any legal authority to do so!
What is in those records? We do not know. But the Obama legal team pulled out all of the stops to block the subpoena, so we believe that there is something in those college records that bears on the critical issue of whether Barack Obama is eligible to serve as President of the United States.
JUST LIKE WE BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A REASON WHY THE OBAMA LEGAL TEAM, ACCORDING TO A PUBLISHED REPORT, HAS BEEN PAID OVER $800,000.00, and as much as almost $900,000.00, TO KEEP THE PUBLIC FROM SEEING HIS REAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE -- NOT THE PHONEY ONE THAT HE PUT UP ON HIS WEBSITE.
There is no doubt in my mind that this e-mail may be the one of the most important documents that you ever read!
What you do after reading this e-mail may well determine the fate of the United States of America!
Please know that we are not saying that Barack Hussein Obama is not eligible to serve as President of the United States of America. The problem is we just do not know!
We do know that Barack Obama's maternal step-grandmother has proclaimed that she was present at his birth in Mombasa, in what is now Kenya, in Africa!
We do know that a fake birth certificate was put up on Obama's website!
We do know that Mr. Obama's legal team is doing everything that it can, in every case filed over this issue; to make sure that no one has access to his birth certificate.
We do know that Mr. Obama's legal team is doing everything that it can, in our California case; to make sure that no one has access to his college records.
DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT!
HELP US EXPOSE THE OBAMA COVER-UP -- DON'T LET HIM
RIP OUR CONSTITUTION TO SHREDS!
The voters of the United States of America have the right to know whether Barack Obama is a "natural born citizen," as REQUIRED by the U. S. Constitution!
It's a question that MUST be answered!
Why? Because, if an unqualified person was elected to the Office of President of the United States, our entire form of government could be compromised!
Why?
Because, if Barack Hussein Obama is not eligible to serve as President of the United States, each and every act that he takes as President will be null and void! That's right, each bill that he signs into law, every Executive Order that he issues, and each and every one of his nominations to his Cabinet and to the federal courts will have no legal effect!
I don't make that statement lightly. It's not an exaggeration.
Article 2, Section 1, Clause 4 of the United States Constitution provides, in pertinent part, as follows: "No Person except a natural born Citizen... shall be eligible to the Office of President..."
That means that neither Osama Bin Laden, nor California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, nor Obama billionaire money man George Soros can serve as President of the United States. That also means that if Barack Obama was born outside of the United States, he is not eligible to serve as President of our great country!
So where was Mr. Obama born?
He claims to have a copy of his birth certificate. That means that either he knows where he was born, or he's lying about having that document.
And only Barack Hussein Obama's ACTUAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE can answer that question of where he was born. But he has teams of attorneys, all across the country, spending, and doing, whatever it takes to make sure that no one, and I mean NO ONE, will be allowed to see the one document that can clear up this controversy
Mr. Obama has claimed that his Presidential administration will be the most transparent in history. Yet, he will not make public the one document that could end all of the questions about the legitimacy of his election as President.
And you have to ask yourself, WHY?
Is it because this is some unimportant "technicality"? No, a requirement of the U. S. Constitution is not a mere "technicality"!
Is it because "President" Obama (if he is the President of the United States) has more important issues to deal with, and can't spare the time to deal with such a trivial issue? No, what is more important than the integrity of the Office of the President?
Or, is there something more involved?
Another question that the Obamaphiles don't want to answer is why, in 2005, was a law firm with ties to Mr. Obama researching the question as to how to evade the requirements of Article II of the United States Constitution, regarding the requirements to serve as President. 2005? Three years before the Presidential campaign?
If that doesn't raise questions in your mind, then nothing will!
And then there's the statements made by representatives of the State of Hawaii!
According to Dr. Chiyome Fukino, of the State of Hawaii's Department of Health,
"Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawaii, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obama's original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures."
Exactly what does that mean? If she can access it, why can't we? It is that very record that USJF financed lawsuits in Mississippi and in Hawaii were seeking to force into the public arena! But Obama's attorneys, and his allies in state government, stopped those efforts cold!
So, the time of decision is now!
Do we give up?
Do we just ignore this threat to our Constitution? To our very form of government?
We here at USJF say NO!
Now is not the time to give up this fight!
Now is not the time to walk away from the most important Constitutional battle in our lifetime!
Now is the time to redouble our efforts to find out the truth!
Now is the time to tell Barack Hussein Obama that the United States Constitution is far more important than his political ambition!
But we can only do this with your help! With your financial support, and with the financial support of everyone that you know!
HELP US EXPOSE THE OBAMA COVER-UP -- DON'T LET HIM
RIP OUR CONSTITUTION TO SHREDS!
Will you stand with us?
Sincerely,
Gary Kreep, Executive Director
United States Justice Foundation
P.S. This is the biggest political cover-up in American history! It would be so simple to release the documents to PROVE Obama is a natural-born citizen... IF THEY HAD THE DOCUMENTS!
Barack Hussein Obama thinks he can get away with DUPING the American people and DESTROYING the U.S. Constitution. DON'T LET HIM DO IT!

I do not think the results of the test whould determine if the person runs - but the results should be made available so that voters can make a decision.
Good point ricar. It should be "We The People" that decide who runs and who does not. Unfortunately, even now we are limited in our choices in who runs for higher offices because of special interest money and who is behind those funds given.
Something I posted on another site a few months ago. I assure you,Barack Hussein Obama II is textbook NPD and a master manipulator !

Long before the presidential campaign was over I was saying that Barack Hussein Obama II was a textbook case of NPD. After reading Jerome Corsi's book "Obama Nation," it confirmed what I saw. Until I did a Google search, today, on the phrase "Barack Hussein Obama narcissistic personality disorder," I did realize that I was not alone in what I saw. Quite frankly, it blew me away on how many articles have been written on it. The man is a very scary individual and he is now America’s president. The link is an article written in WND back in September. Barack Hussein Obama II is not just a narcissist but a pathological narcissist. All I can say is: may God have mercy on America. We got what we, as a nation, deserve as our leader. There is really no telling what the man is capable of, America will find out soon enough.

We have much to fear from Obama--but my confidence is that God is in control of the outcome. Obama is a narcissist but does it go to the extent of being incapable of love and empathy toward anyone but self, I don't know. The NPD I know cannot bring himself to demonstrate feelings of empathy or love outside of himself--people are merely objects which is sad. Don't know if Obama is that kind of narcissist. B

"being incapable of love and empathy toward anyone but self"
As long as you are on "his side”, that is the true NPD, it will appear that he loves and is capable of having empathy for you. But the second you are no longer needed, or speak out against the NPD they will throw you under the bus and not think twice about it. Yes, they are capable of showing emotion such as love and empathy toward another individual, but they are completely incapable of actually feeling it. They can appear warm and loving as long as they’re getting their way, but in reality they're as cold as ice. They feel emotion, but it is only for them.
Barack Hussein Obama II is one with this type of deceitful narcissism; it is the worst form of narcissistic personality disorder. I pray for his two little girls. I knew of two little girls in one family, two sisters and two little girls in another family, also two sisters, that have fathers with this disorder, They are all grown women now, three of them are doing fine, one became one of the worst cases of NPD that I have seen and reeks havoc in people’s lives where ever she goes. It is a brutal disorder, not one I wish upon any human being, but unfortunately it is a disorder of choice.
All I can say is, I know what I see, and our president is a very scary individual. Picture him emotionally as a little spoiled four year old that needs constant admiration, with the mind of a well educated adult man. When you put someone in a role of power with this disorder there is no end to the need for more power and the high that it brings to that individual. History only shows what happens.
I too have voiced concern in the past,on Topix,Newsvine and Fox news forums that I suspect that Obama is suffering from Narcissism. A major overt sign is his inappropriate affect.
B.W.Dali, Machiavellianistic use of "people as objects". Apply this to Obama. I have.,and it fits.

How would you evaluate President Obama's performance thus far?
Obama administration ushering in socialism
In nearly every policy area, he wants to tax, spend and control. Citizens need to act before we lose our freedoms to big government.
BY ROD BLUM for the TH - Double Take Right
In 1927, Norman Thomas, a six-time candidate for president on the American Socialist Party ticket, said, "The American people will never vote for socialism. But under the name of liberalism, the American people will adopt every fragment of the socialist program."
The threat of socialism has always been with us, but at this moment -- under unchecked Democrat rule -- the threat is real. Russia's newspaper, the Pravda, recently featured a column that said, "Like the breaking of a great dam, the American descent into Marxism is happening with breathtaking speed, against the backdrop of a passive, hapless people." Even Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has warned Barack Obama against adopting further socialism, saying Russian history clearly proves it is a recipe for failure. "Any fourth-grade student knows socialism has failed in every country, at every time in history," said Putin.
Last November, millions of Americans voted for a first-term senator about whom they knew little. His voting record was the most liberal in the Senate but his rhetoric was moderate, so many voters took a chance. After Obama's first four months in office, voters' doubts have been answered: Obama is a European-style socialist. Simply put, he wants to tax, spend and control. In everything from his economic policy to his energy policy, Obama is moving the country from a traditional American model of entrepreneurship and private initiative to a European model of regulation and government control. I don't think the American people knowingly voted for this type of power grab.
Obama came into office highly critical of the previous administration's spending and deficits. Well! His proposed deficit over the next two years is an astonishing $3 trillion, or $27,000 of debt per U.S. household. George Bush might have spent like a drunken sailor, but Obama's spending orgy makes Bush look like a teetotaler. Government spending soars by 30 percent to $3.9 trillion in the Democrat's 2009 budget. Furthermore, Obama projects $500 billion deficits as far as the eye can see despite saying, "We are out of money now" in a recent CSPAN interview. During the debates he vowed to carefully scrub the budget line by line for programs that did not work. Toward that end he recently asked his Cabinet to cut costs in their departments by $100 million -- a minuscule .0027 percent of the budget! That's the equivalent of a family of four cutting $1 from its annual budget.
We are also now witnessing the most radical meddling of the government in private industry ever as we've quickly become "bailout nation." Taxpayers will spend at least $10 billion on Chrysler, $50 billion on GM, $170 billion on AIG, $700 billion for the TARP bank fund, $400 billion to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, $29 billion to Bear Stearns and the list goes on. Up next -- the health care and energy industries. When does this insanity stop?
From his pro-abortion stance to his "blame America first" mindset, this president does not share the values of most voters. We did not elect a leader who punishes the job creators in America while warmly embracing two-bit dictators whose goal is the destruction of America. He is a leader who closes the highly successful school voucher program for needy children in Washington while bailing out fiscally irresponsible states. What can we do? Well, you and I can do a great deal. Contact your elected officials. Participate in Tea Party protests. But please DO SOMETHING before we lose our individual liberties and freedoms to big government.
This is the best idea posted on this site.

It seems to me that you suffer from multiple personality disorder, paranoia, and delusions of grandeur, as if you think you are Sigmund Freud reincarnated!

Obama's 'birth certificate' not acceptable in Hawaii?
Even state requires long-form document for some eligibility, identification issues
Posted: June 07, 2009
4:10 pm Eastern
© 2009 WorldNetDaily
From the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands website
WASHINGTON – The Hawaiian certification of live birth Barack Obama posted on his campaign website and distributed to select news organizations as proof he was a "natural born citizen" would not be accepted as a "birth certificate" even for some Hawaiian state government eligibility issues, WND has learned.
The investigation follows a Honolulu Star Bulletin column Saturday, which quotes a state Department of Health spokeswoman as saying the state's current certification of live birth is recognized "as an official birth certificate meeting all federal and other requirements."
The website of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, however, states clearly the certification of live birth touted by the Obama campaign, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs and a host of other Obama defenders is not acceptable as a form of identification to qualify under this program.
As WND has reported, certifications of live birth were widely issued to Hawaiians born in foreign countries in 1961, the year Obama was born.
Are you motivated yet to join the billboard campaign and clear up the air of mystery surrounding Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility to serve?
The Star Bulletin column goes on to report: "The issue of what constitutes an official Hawaii birth certificate received national attention during last year's presidential campaign. Those who doubted Barack Obama's American citizenship called the copy of the Hawaii birth document posted on his campaign website a fake."
However, Obama's "citizenship" was never the question raised during the campaign or after the election. The issue raised by WND has consistently been that Obama failed to prove he was actually born in Hawaii and thus constitutionally qualified to become president as a "natural born citizen" – which requires that the birth took place in the United States.
The qualifications for the Hawaiian Home Lands program require a certified copy of a standard birth certificate – also known as the "long-form certificate" filled out in the hospital and including details such as the name of the hospital and the attending physician.
"In order to process your application, DHHL utilizes information that is found only on the original Certificate of Live Birth, which is either black or green," the qualifications state. "This is a more complete record of your birth than the Certification of Live Birth (a computer-generated printout). Submitting the original Certificate of Live Birth will save you time and money since the computer-generated Certification requires additional verification by DHHL."
According to Hawaii's Department of Health spokeswoman Janice Okubo, the state only issues "certifications" of live births since 2001 when the health department went paperless. It is only available in electronic form, she said.
"At that time, all information for births from 1908 (on) was put into electronic files for consistent reporting," she is quoted as telling the Star Bulletin. "The electronic record of the birth is what (the Health Department) now keeps on file in order to provide same-day certified copies at our help window for most requests," Okubo said.
She did not explain how those needing a standard long-form birth certificate to qualify for programs such as those offered by the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands or to establish proof of eligibility to be president could be fulfilled. She said the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized the state's current certification of live birth "as an official birth certificate meeting all federal and other requirements." She did not, however, cite any specific rulings, and the Supreme Court has not taken up the issue of whether the certification of live birth would qualify a presidential candidate as eligible under the "natural born citizen" clause
Many of members of the public commenting on the Star Bulletin column raised similar questions:
"I'm fifty years old and I need to apply for a passport," wrote one. "So I scan some representation of COLB onto my Facebook page. If I take my laptop to the DMV, can I just open my laptop to show my web page to the clerk who will then verify my citizenship and issue me a legal passport? I'm sorry but some documents need a paper trail."
"To be president you need to be a 'natural born citizen,'" said another. "That means you are born in this country of 'parents that are citizens.' Note that both 'parent' and 'citizen' are plural. His father was a British subject and, yes, under the laws of both the United States and the UK at the time [when] he was born, Obama's citizenship was passed by descent of the father. These are the facts. We have laws and no one is above them."
"There seems to be a great deal of secrecy surrounding this whole situation," said another. "I've read that he has three legal teams keeping his info private. He has also had all his college records sealed. So this is transparency and change? Why all the mystery?"
Additional controversy over where Obama was born came when the woman the president says is his paternal grandmother, Sarah Obama, claimed to have been present at her grandson's birth in Mombasa, Kenya.
Joseph Farah, WND editor and chief executive officer, launched a national billboard campaign last month in an effort to keep the issue before the American people. The billboards, being leased around the country, ask the simple question, "Where's the birth certificate?" Farah is asking the public to support his campaign with donations. So far, more than $75,000 has been collected.
Last week, CBS, the largest provider of outdoor advertising in the country, announced it would refuse requests for space for the campaign. But Farah says CBS' refusal to lease space for the campaign will not hinder it.
"There are plenty of other billboard companies willing and eager to take our money," said Farah. "The only obstacle to this campaign is raising the money necessary to make it truly a national phenomenon."
The billboard campaign followed one launched months earlier to collect the names on an electronic petition demanding accountability and transparency on the issue. So far, that petition has gathered nearly 400,000 names.
The campaign got a boost last week when WND White House correspondent Les Kinsolving asked Obama's press secretary, Robert Gibbs, why the president wouldn't release his birth certificate. Gibbs' response was covered live on C-SPAN and by Fox News Channel and others – excluding CBS.
It was the first time any member of the press corps has publicly asked a member of the administration a question directly related to Obama's constitutional eligibility for office as a "natural born citizen."
Congressional hearings were held to determine whether Sen. John McCain was constitutionally eligible to be president as a "natural born citizen," but no controlling legal authority ever sought to verify Obama's claim to a Hawaiian birth.
Both the petition and the billboard campaign are part of what Farah calls an independent "truth and transparency campaign."
The first sign to be posted under the campaign, a digital, electronic one, is up and online on Highway 165 in Ball, La. – the result of a donation by the owner. In addition, based on the heavy volume of financial donations in the first days of the campaign, WND was able to commit to leasing three more standard billboards – one in Los Angeles, another in Orange County, Calif. and a third in Pennsylvania.

So who watches the Watcher ?
Is the Psych Czar 'Appointed' ?
We have enough problems just satisfying the clear Constitutional requirements (Native Born, for example). Term limits deal with much of the rest.
What's needed is some control on the all too many Czars (appointed, yet given vast authority), although the Czar thing worked for Stalin...
