Obama Citizenship

Obama Admin: Chaos, Depression, CIA, Eligibility, 25th Amendment Whispers

By Phil

Investigative journalist Wayne Madsen is again trotting out some interesting insider gossip concerning the Obama Administration’s seeming inability to hold things together, high-level intrigue, paranoia, depression, 2012 running mate questions, even going so far as to suggest that the 25th Amendment could be invoked, should executive actions continue on their present course (big h/t to Dr. Sam Sewell).

Long-time Right Side of Life readers will recall Mr. Madsen’s January, 2010 report that any press questions regarding Mr. Obama’s background at Occidental College, Columbia University and his first employer, Business International Corporation, “are definitely off limits.”

Mr. Madsen’s piece starts with the following setup:

Washington has not witnessed so much top level White House intrigue since October 20, 1973, when a Saturday night saw President Nixon fire the Watergate independent counsel, the U.S. attorney general, and the deputy attorney general in the ?Saturday Night Massacre.? Just ten days earlier, Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned after being charged with accepting bribes while governor of Maryland.

In the case of President Obama, the senior firings are not happening during a single nght but the recent involuntary sudden departures of the White House chief of staff and national security adviser, along with what WMR can confirm from multiple sources is a president who is suffering from Nixonian levels of paranoia, depression, and schizophrenia, has some top-level administration officials considering the first-ever invocation of Section 4 of the 25th Amendment ? the involuntary removal of the president from office. The White House meltdown has the Washington political circuit buzzing under the surface.

Unlike Watergate and the Iran-contra scandal, however, the corporate media is refusing to report on the breakdown of the Obama administration and the internecine political warfare within the Executive Office of the President.

There is apparently also a former White House staffer who is leaking information — that Mr. Madsen’s own contacts appear to independently confirm most points — including the sordid and allegedly downright depressed state of the President to a blogger by the name of “Ulsterman.” This same blogger had also revealed further details over the potential 2010 Hillary Clinton running mate rumor.

There’s more:

The other Ulsterman interviews are as follows:

White House Insider On Obama: The President Is Losing It Sep. 7

White House Insider Part 2: The President needs to grow up. Sep. 15

White House Insider: What The Hell Have We Done? Sep. 18

White House Insider: The Clintons Are Going For It. Sep. 21

White House Insider: Pelosi and Obama at War Oct. 7

Who is the staffer? Apparently Mr. Madsen asked the same question:

As with ?Deep Throat? and other past White House leakers, there is as much speculation on who has been speaking to Ulsterman as there is on the earth-shattering revelations coming out of his or her interviews. The leaker?s information indicates that he or she was relatively high-ranking with access to the inner workings of the Oval Office. The following have all left the White House, some abruptly:

• Rahm Emanuel, chief of staff. Resigned effective October 1, 2010.
• Retired General James Jones, National Security Adviser. Resignation announced on October 8, 2010.
• Ellen Moran, Communications Director, left in April 2009, however, the leaks indicate the Obama ?Deep Throat? had more recent access to the Oval Office. Moran is now chief of Staff to Commerce Secretary Gary Locke.
• Van Jones, special adviser for ?Green Jobs.? Left in September 2009, again, too early to have been privy to later inside information.
• Mark Lippert, deputy national security adviser. Left in October 2009 and went from reserve to active status in the US Navy. Lippert was a ?pick-up basketball? partner of Obama during the campaign.
• David Ogden, Deputy Attorney General. Resigned in February 2010.
• Greg Craig, White House Counsel. Craig was forced to announce his resignation in November 2009. Although November 2009 was also possibly too early for Craig to be the source, he is a consummate Washington insider who may continue to be privy to information from within the Oval Office and West Wing.
• Peter Orszag, Director of the Office of Management and Budget. Resigned in June 2010. Like Craig, a strong possibility.
• Retired Admiral Dennis Blair, Director of National Intelligence. Resigned in May 2010. Would have had classified access to White House operations although he did not work in the White House.
• Christina Romer, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers. Resigned in September 2010.
• Larry Summers, Director of National Economic Council. Resignation not to take effect until after November 2 election.

There is significantly more in the posting, but I thought some of the final paragraphs were especially interesting:

In another eerie replay of the Watergate crisis, WMR has learned that the CIA has not sat by idly as the Obama White House has unraveled. WMR has previously reported on Obama?s and his family?s past links to the CIA. However, Langley appears ready to take advantage of the weakening position of Obama to bring about added uncertainty.

WMR has learned from a reliable intelligence source that the CIA has secretly contracted with a retired top CIA official who was a principal actor in the Iran-contra scandal, to uncover any information that could be damaging to Obama from his past. On the table are any documents and information on Obama?s place of birth, his paternal parentage, and his past employment activities. By contracting outside the CIA?s normal channels, the agency is seeking ?plausible deniability? should documents or information damaging to Obama be uncovered and subsequently leaked to the media. …

The scenario of invoking Section 4 of the 25th Amendment is a worst-case scenario but the mere fact that it is ?on the table? provides an indication of the current dysfunctional situation in the White House. Democratic Party leaders are scrambling in anticipation of major losses on Nov. 2 in the Congress and state houses. President Obama may soon find himself at the receiving end of senior Democratic Party elders who will bear a ?shock therapy? message: ?shape up or ship out.? [emphases mine]

While most of the above’s deductions are based on extrapolating eventual events out of incomplete data, most folks who are familiar with my site will note that there simply has been way too much about this President’s background that is simply unknown and unabashedly won’t be questioned by the conventional press.

Remember November.
