President Obama Will Make a Political Statement With New License Plates on His Limo
Starting this weekend, the White House will put standard Washington, D.C. “Taxation Without Representation” license plates on President Barack Obama’s limousine to make a political statement, The Washington Post’s Tim Craig reports.
The symbolic stunt comes following a D.C. Council resolution and an official White House petition from the city’s residents to change the license plates to mirror the desire of citizens to have a representative in Congress, as they are subject to taxation.
The White House “has seen first-hand how patently unfair” it is for Washington, D.C. residents to pay taxes without being represented by a member of Congress, Craig reported via his official Twitter account.
Business Insider’s Brett LoGiurato provides a picture of what the Obama limo plates will look like:

LoGiurato also notes that former President Bill Clinton “embraced the gesture during his term in office, but President George W. Bush removed them.”

The deeper meaning is more telling, as America has been overthrown and Washington DC has been taken over by Progressives(communists). And then there’s Barack Hussein Obama, AKA Barry Obama, AKA Barry Soetoro, Kenyan-born illegal-alien White-House-occupier:

“OBAMA’S KENYAN BIRTH RECORDS DISCOVERED IN BRITISH NATIONAL ARCHIVES”
Wednesday, July 18, 2012
http://thedailypen.blogspot.com/2012/07/obamas-kenyan-birth-records-discovered.html
By Dan Crosby of The Daily Pen
(Updated 7/23/2012)
KEW, SURREY, GB – The last place anyone would think to look for a birth record of someone claiming to be a “natural born” U.S. citizen is Great Britain. The very inclusion of the Article II eligibility mandate in the U.S. Constitution was explicitly intended by the founding fathers of America to prevent a then British-born enemy usurper from attaining the office of the U.S. presidency and thereby undermining the sovereignty of the newly formed nation.
…
Recall, investigative journalists working for Breitbart.com [you know, the boss who mysteriously and suddenly "died"] have already discovered biographical information published by Barack Obama’s literary agent in which he claimed he was born in Kenya.

…
Recall, on August 1, 2009, Dr. Alan Keyes, Pamela Barnett and 42 other plaintiffs filed evidence in a lawsuit challenging Obama eligibility which included a copy of an image of an alleged Kenyan Copy of Certification of Registration of Birth (CCRB). In the hours after the image appeared on the internet, MSNBC and other liberal mainstream, pro-Obama networks went ballistic attempting to debunk the idea that such a docûment exists.
…
Several sources show that Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton made a sudden visit to the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the British agency which oversees Public Records Archives from colonial protectorates, to speak with the Chief Executive of the Archives in early August of 2009.

Posted on January 16, 2013 at 11:04amHe gives theory andprovides links for you to make your own determination. What did you give to support your claim that this is “baseless”? Nothing. Are you saying that the whole notion that the prez might not be a natural born citizen is entirely baseless? It takes a cetain kind of dooosh to declare someone’s post “baseless” without offering any sort of rebuttle.

Posted on January 16, 2013 at 11:19amThe whole thing is baseless Sir. I read the sham of an article that he posted. It’s all speculation. There is no actual evidence in the opinion laden text. You can jump up and down saying it’s true and you can create blogs with your editorialized ‘information’, but it proves nothing.
But, there will always be people like you; hell-bent on proving the president is a foreigner, for what? He’s not going to be removed from office. His policies aren’t going to be negated. There will never be any concrete evidence of him being a Kenyan. But, there will ALWAYS be people like the two of you sounding like the ‘crazy right wing’, degrading the true conservative values that the majority of us hold true.
But, hey, thanks for calling me a ‘dooosh’, jack.

Posted on January 16, 2013 at 11:37amObamacare was not read before the voting, meaning taxation without representation is exactly what they are doing. Ironically (or blatantly), I think this is nothing but in your face arrogance against all Americans.
They really say we will screw you all with impunity and you can do noting about it. Has anyone forgotten the vile arrogance displayed by the giant gavel toting elephant face lady walking through the crowds of protestors on the way to the most corrupt vote in history?

Posted on January 16, 2013 at 11:41amThe site about Obama’s birth a very interesting read. Seems to be a ton of evidence about him NOT being a US Citizen, yet not a single person in congress has the twonuts to do something about it and pursue actions on this? I don’t get it … I can understand a large majority of people just complying to help themselves, but actually EVERYONE? No one is willing to hold this impostor to the law?

It’s information and research, must more, I can say, than obama’s team has provided in proof that he is a US Citizen. There are so many unanswered questions on this eligibility that it SHOULD foster a large movement of people who actually hold the Constitution of the US dear to once and for all demand proof. I have to have ID and a background check to prove whom I am and my history to buy a damn .22 pistol, but I do not in order to be president of this country?
It’s people like you that want to keep your eyes glued wide shut on evidence when it is presented because your lord and god obama MIGHT just be lying to you and you cannot allow yourself to even believe that. If it was you that many claimed was not a US citizen (assuming you actually are), would you not want to end the BS and provide the actual proof? Pretty simple way to get people to shut up, donchathink?

Posted on January 16, 2013 at 12:22pmThe reason the Tea Party lost momentum is because of conspiracy theories like this nonsense, along with people embracing social issues instead of sticking to their guns about economic issues. People who would rather attack Obama’s credentials rather than his actions will always, ALWAYS lose. The point is dead. The theory has been debunked, time and time again. If there were any validity to it there would be at least one group of congressmen who would stand up and question it.
Silence.
Not because they are ‘cowards’ or RINOS. But because there is no real evidence of this garbage, and it’s been proven to be false over, and over and over again.

Posted on January 16, 2013 at 10:53amFirst, DC is and was always intended to be a Federal City. The Founders set it up this way deliberately, in order to ensure that no one state has control over any other state.
Secondly, every territory including DC has representation. They just don’t have voting powers as they are not states.
Thirdly, OF COURSE this jerk wants DC to have representation because DC votes something like 90-10 Dem, so their power would increase in the Senate and would be that much closer to parity in the House.
This is merely about power. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Posted on January 16, 2013 at 11:55amDC should not be a city or district anyway…there should be no mayor or city council…the only thing in DC should be office buildings and the buildings of government…the only “official” resident of DC should be the President and his family.
there should be no Congressional housing for Reps or staffers or any other government employee…no schools or the like…
any apartment or home or condo or townhouse that is currently said to reside in the boundary of DC should be immediately rezoned to belong back to the original state of origin…DC was made from land taken from Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia…
those states should be given back the land and then the housing on that land would fall under State control and be subject to State law and taxation and representation… problem solved…
if you work inside DC you should be a resident of one of those 3 states and the nearest city/county in those states to DC…there..problem solved…
DC should be a free zone of any non Federal government…the only laws that should apply in DC are Federal laws…which BTW would mean that any citizen could carry inside DC because the 2nd Amendment says so….
that would kinda force Congress to obey their own laws and the Constitution now wouldn’t it….force Congress to feel the affects of their laws (many Reps/Sens conceal carry but don’t let or want us too)

Posted on January 16, 2013 at 1:22amHow appropriate. Our limp House of Representatives is too scared to do their job, so they aren’t representing us by saving us from that Chicago thug. So we are being taxed without representation.
Washington D. C. is a Federal Reservation – NOT A STATE
If by some weird “executive order”, D. C. would obtain representation in Congress, then all Reservations should have their own members of Congress.
EVERYONE who moved there knew that the District of Columbia doesn’t have representatives in Congress.
If they don’t like it, they are free to move to any one of our 50 states. Obama hasn’t taken that away from us yet.

Posted on January 16, 2013 at 12:21amKim Jung Un had NO military experience whatsoever before Daddy made him a four-star general. This snot-nosed twerp had never accomplished anything in his life that would even come close to military leadership. He hadn’t even so much as led a Cub Scout troop, coached a sports team, or commanded a military platoon. So he is made the “Beloved Leader” of North Korea . Terrific!
Oh crap! I’m sorry. I just remembered that we did the same thing. We took an arrogant community organizer, who had never worn a uniform, and made him Commander-in-Chief. A guy, who had never had a real job, worked on a budget, or led anything more than an ACORN demonstration, and we made him President of the United States – - – - TWICE !!!

Posted on January 16, 2013 at 1:12amWho says we elected him once, or twice for that matter? I wouldn’t be surprised if 80% of the voters voted for Romney. But thanks to that Consent Decree the RNC signed 31 years ago, Democrats now have free range to commit voter fraud in areas deemed to have a “substantial” population of ethnic minorities.
To sum it up: If you or someone you know lives in such a district, vote 3rd Party or wonder how the Democrat won once again…

Posted on January 16, 2013 at 1:00amThe citizens of DC can register and vote in either Maryland or Virginia, that has always been an option, but they would also be libel for state taxes. As long as they don’t claim a state residency, they don’t have to pay taxes. But because it is a Federal zone, not owned by any state, they also don’t get any congressional representation.
