I pay little attention to emails of a political nature that make the rounds two or three times. Sometimes, there is enough truth in them to grab you, but I generally consider them to be a pestilence. Someone, somewhere, has an agenda. Not to say all are bad, but .............................

Generally I do pretty much just blow em off after I seek out who wrote it and the rest.  But this one came from my Mom's husband.... and when it's family types, I like to give it an extra look, 'specially when it's not related to current happenings... Is why I asked. this ones got me snookered,lol.

ok,,,,lol...in a bit...

ok, there is a ton of stuff in here. It is a read and you'll see why I asked how to back check.
http://theintelhub.com/2010/10/15/wayne-madsen-white-house-in-crisis/

Having never heard of intelhub.....and reading it.....
I don't know how to see if or if it's even worth it, sure is interesting though.....

OK, we all know something is going on, but like the article states, it is not being investigated.
But this is no surprise, considering he was never fully vetted in the first place..
With that said, do I give credence to the article?
Sure why not, the guy has been living in a bubble, he didn't even watch the returns last night.

My guess he is having trouble dealing with reality and for someone that was Crowned messiah on a pedestal higher than the Moon, it must be one Hell of a fall.

But it's that sudden landing that kills ya, and Husein is picking up speed as he approaches the ground. ;D

I am sure he's having trouble with alot of things.... IF any of this is truely whats going on, he has created his own trouble..... Chicago politics isn't workin so well for him....

Elfie, you've got to be really careful with e-mail "insider" stuff and the legitimacy of the conspiracy theories, and "insider information" they claim to have.  I get this stuff all the time. 

Don't bother using Snopes or Fact Check or Wikipedia, either.  They are all agenda-driven, and they all have their own political leanings.  If something interests me enough, I do my own research based on facts and based on verifiable statements and actions made by the subject matter involved.

I took the time to read the whole link you posted, and it all sounds plausible, but there is way too much conjecture and rumors and all of these sordid details about Obama and his administration just seem too "contrived" to me.

I would LOVE to believe that Obama is a lazy drunk, a paranoid schizophrenic, and Biden and the Clintons are plotting against him, and that there's some White House "insider" who is feeding information to somebody else who is in turn feeding this info to everybody else, but it all just seems to "easy" to me.

The fact that Obama has had what APPEARS to be a lot of turnover in his administration is really very typical in a Presidency.  Cabinet members come and go.  Advisors come and go.  I just don't see where this is a big deal.

The rest of it just sounds cheesy to me, and it sounds like something you hear at the coffee shop or on some second-rate radio talk show (like Air America).

Well we're all alittle nuts,lol,  and it seemed a bit off to me to, thats why I asked. what I did.   It's very difficult to decide what to post n what not to in this part.  I got this and not knowing where to go to check it, or never hearing of this site--which is not a bad thing, I can't know them all.  Sop hell why n ot  show it, the only thing I am gonna do is learn more from all of you. and thats not a badf thing...
Thanks everyone,,,, I truely do appreciate it...
;)
