White House: Obama Will Veto 9/11 Bill
The United States Bowes To No One, But Obama Does!!
By Jordan Fabian - Sept 12, 2016 - The Hill
President Obama will veto legislation allowing the families of 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia in U.S. courts, the White House said Monday.
“That is still the plan. The president does plan to veto this legislation,” press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters. “I do anticipate the president will veto the legislation when it is presented to him. It hasn’t been presented to him yet.”
Those comments are the clearest indication yet Obama plans to reject the bipartisan legislation, opening up the possibility Congress could override an Obama veto for the first time.
Earnest had strongly hinted for the past several months that the president will veto the bill, but he had not issued a full veto threat before.
Obama has come under heavy pressure from Democratic lawmakers and 9/11 victims’ families who back the legislation not to veto the bill.
They are concerned it would set up a politically damaging showdown with Congress that would diminish the president’s political capital ahead of a year-end spending fight and a high-stakes lame-duck session of Congress.
But Earnest reiterated the White House’s fear that the measure would open up U.S. citizens to legal action overseas if foreign countries pass reciprocal measures.
“This law actually opens up the United States to the risk of being hauled into court in countries around the world,” he said.
The bill's authors believe they have the votes to override Obama's veto; the legislation passed unanimously by voice vote in both the House and Senate.
But Earnest indicated the White House would continue its lobbying campaign against the measure as a last-ditch attempt to ensure it does not become law.
“I would anticipate that the president will continue to explain his opposition to this legislation ... up until Congress decides whether to override his veto," Earnest said.

I went back to the article at American Thinker that I wrote about in a post here earlier today — One More Piece to the Puzzle of Obama’s Past — and read the comments left by other readers. Here are some that struck me. What to do we know about “president” Obama so far? Well, chew on these for a while…

Sutton’s assertions and the Fulbright Scholarship have always given me pause for thought. Additionally the Stephanapoulas correction when Obama said “those who question my Muslim faith” to which George quickly corrected by saying “Christian faith” has always left me wondering about the whole Obama as President thing. I honestly believe he was groomed for the job by foreign interests and owe them a great deal for it. Hence the statements of the US as “a Christian and Muslim nation” meme and the consistent understatement of Islamic terrorism.
Obama has paid over a million dollars in legal fees to keep his secrets.
Anyone who thinks Obama is stupid or incompetent is just kidding themselves, he is neither.

Folks work FULL-time jobs for twenty years and STILL don’t have all of their college loans paid off, so something is very, very wrong about that answer to that question. The “registered as a foreign exchange student” scenario would, of course, be devastating if released. Of course it was never followed up, and won’t be until someone digs deep enough, or someone leaks a document or two, and then all Hell will break loose. The very same goes for the birth certificate fiasco, which could have been resolved in less than 24 hours, if O Bomber had chosen to end the debate (and it would have been a strong PLUS if he had done so!). That issue, too, will one day be officially made public, but not by the fraud in the White House. In the meantime, George Soros’ sponsored Socialist gets a total free pass.

Thomas,
This video is interesting in that it draws a connection to Obama with Islamic Supremacist Khalid al-Mansour, namely that al-Mansour requested a letter of reference for Obama from Sutton, despite Sutton not knowing Obama at all.
But Sutton’s wording, “who’s raising money for him [Obama],” in reference to al-Mansour, is not clearly in the past tense. But even if it were, it is no where stated that the money actually went to pay for Obama’s education at Harvard Law School.
Am I missing something?

Malcolm X
Craig TX,
You ask a rational question, as to why the Saudi billionaire would pay for his education.
The why seems quite clear to me, especially after following quite a bit of the trail. Obama is Malcolm X’s heir, (it is NOT a coincidence that Percy Sutton, who was Malcolm X’s lawyer would be the go between for the two) and Obama Sr (his supposed papa) was rewarded for claiming paternity with a senior position in the Ministry of Kenya. This incredible job offer just ‘happened’ to be at the SAME time that Malcolm X was doing work at the same Ministry. Hmm.
Malcolm X started out as a Black Nationalist, but did not embrace Sunni Islam until the last few years of his life. At that point he spent quite a bit of time in Saudi Arabia, serving as an important link/bridge for American Muslims to the Sunni Islamic world.
Therefore, it is not a stretch to understand why the Saudi contacts would reach out to him, both when he needed money and pull to get into Harvard AND Columbia. It is no secret that the Saudis have been infiltrating the US for decades. Now, what better way to remake America, eventually bring her to her knees, than to put in place someone like Obama?
When people hear whispers about a Manchurian candidate they mostly roll their eyes, afraid to look like they believe in conspiracy theories. The fact that the Saudis were grooming Obama for the highest office in the land appears so fantastical to most that they were able to place their guy in the White House without any hint of real push back. The Saudis understand Americans very well, their need to appear open minded, their desire to accept the most exotic candidate without real vetting-that ‘racist’ tarring and feathering they are so afraid of.
This was the biggest hoax in American history bar none.

Think about the bow to the Saudi king and how deep and beyond respectfulness it was. There was a lot more to that bow than simple respect. That was servant to master.

If true, all of this would fit the “Obama story” to a tee. I have long suspected that B. Hussein Obama had a wealthy sponsor within the Saudi royal family, and/or George Soros, if not both. Nothing about this man’s background rings true; he was a Trojan Horse candidate from the beginning, manufactured to exploit a loophole in the process by which we elected our Presidents. Obama now has at his command the resources of the most powerful office in the world to erase or alter his past, as he may see fit. That’s the bad news; the good news is that the truth will eventually see the light of day. Perhaps not as soon as we would like, but eventually the lid will be blown off this fraud, the scale of which dwarfs anything in our history. A conspiracy this big cannot be kept secret forever. Now the question becomes: will someone summon the moral courage to do the right thing? No matter what the risk, in civil unrest, acrimony, etc. – the truth about BHO must come out, and the repercussions dealt with – for the good of the republic, and to restore faith in our tarnished electoral process.

To Adina, I am right with you on the Malcolm X connection. If you watch video of both Obama and Malcolm side by side it is truly freaky. He looks like him, has similar speaking tendencies and facial expressions. Obama went to Chicago for a reason, to find himself. As crazy as it may be I believe he believes himself that he was chosen to be the ONE. His college records not released has troubled me the most. His birth certificate I feel may have him born at a different time/date/place than Hawaii, possibly born months earlier, by another father.

Obama college costs paid by Saudis Arabs, Khalid Al-Mansour requested Arab money, Vernon Jarrett Percy Suttton confirm, Obama bow to Saudi King proves loyalty
“Why has Obama, since taking the White House, used Justice Department Attorneys, at taxpayer expense, to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?”…Citizen Wells
“Khalid Al-Mansour was “raising money” for Obama.”
“Khalid Al-Mansour was trying to help Obama get into Harvard Law School.”…Percy Sutton
“Any statement that I make would only further the activity which is not in the interest of Barack, not in the interest of Percy, not in the interest of anyone,”…Khalid Al-Mansour
“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”…Barack Obama
From NewsMax September 23, 2008.
“How exactly did Barack Obama pay for his Harvard Law School education?
The way the Obama campaign has answered the question was simply hard work and student loans.
But new questions have been raised about Obama’s student loans and Obama’s ties to a radical Muslim activist who reportedly was raising money for Obama’s Harvard studies during the years 1988 to 1991.
The allegations first surfaced in late March, when former Manhattan Borough president Percy Sutton told a New York cable channel that a former business partner who was “raising money” for Obama had approached him in 1988 to help Obama get into Harvard Law School.
In the interview, Sutton says he first heard of Obama about twenty years ago from Khalid Al-Mansour, a Black Muslim and Black Nationalist who was a “mentor” to the founders of the Black Panther party at the time the party was founded in the early 1960s.
Sutton described al-Mansour as advisor to “one of the world’s richest men,” Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal.
Prince Alwaleed catapulted to fame in the United States after the September 11 attacks, when New York mayor Rudy Guiliani refused his $10 million check to help rebuild Manhattan, because the Saudi prince hinted publicly that America’s pro-Israel policies were to blame for the attacks.
Sutton knew Al-Mansour well, since the two men had been business partners and served on several corporate boards together.
As Sutton remembered, Al-Mansour was raising money for Obama’s education and seeking recommendations for him to attend Harvard Law School.
“I was introduced to (Obama) by a friend who was raising money for him,” Sutton told NY1 city hall reporter Dominic Carter. “The friend’s name is Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, from Texas.”
Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt told Newsmax that Sutton’s account was “bogus” and a “fabrication that has been retracted” by a spokesman for the Sutton family.
He referred Newsmax to a pro-Obama blog published on Politico.com by reporter Ben Smith.
In a September 3 blog entry, Smith wrote that “a spokesman for Sutton’s family, Kevin Wardally” said that Sutton had been mistaken when he made those comments about Obama and Khalid Al-Mansour.
Smith suggested the retraction “put the [Obama/Al-Mansour] story to rest for good.”
Wardally told Smith that the “information Mr. Percy Sutton imported [sic] on March 25 in a NY1 News interview regarding his connection to Barack Obama is inaccurate. As best as our family and the Chairman’s closest friends can tell, Mr. Sutton, now 86 years of age, misspoke in describing certain details and events in that television interview.”
Asked which parts of Percy Sutton’s statements were a “fabrication,” LaBolt said “all of it. Al Mansour doesn’t know Obama. And Sutton’s spokesman retracted the story. The letter [to Harvard, which Percy Sutton says he wrote on behalf of Obama], the ‘payments for loans’ — all of it, not true,” he added.
Newsmax contacted the Sutton family and they categorically denied Wardally’s claims to Smith and the Politico.com. So there was no retraction of Sutton’s original interview, during which he revealed that Khalid Al-Mansour was “raising money” for Obama and had asked Sutton to write a letter of recommendation for Obama to help him get accepted at Harvard Law School.
Sutton’s personal assistant told Newsmax that neither Mr. Sutton or his family had ever heard of Kevin Wardally.
”Who is this person?” asked Sutton’s assistant, Karen Malone.
When told that he portrayed himself as a “spokesman” for the family, Malone told Newsmax, “Well, he’s not.”
According to a 2006 New York magazine profile, Wardally is part of a “New New Guard” in Harlem politics that has been challenging the “lions” of the old guard, Charles Rangel and Percy Sutton. That makes him an unlikely candidate to speak on behalf of Sutton.
Sutton maintains an office at the Manhattan headquarters of the firm he founded, Inner City Broadcasting Corporation. ICBC owns New York radio stations WBLS and WLIB.
Sutton’s son Pierre (“Pepe”) runs ICBC along with his daughter, Keisha Sutton-James. Malone told Newsmax that she had consulted with Sutton’s family members at the station and confirmed that no one knew Kevin Wardally or had authorized him to speak on behalf of the family.
For someone claiming to be a “spokesman” for the Sutton family, who was authorized to call Percy Sutton a liar, Wardally even got Percy Sutton’s age wrong.
Sutton is not 86, as Wardally said, but close to 88. He was born on Nov. 24, 1920.
Wardally responded to a several Newsmax phone messages and emails with a terse one-line comment, maintaining his statement that Percy Sutton “misspoke” in the television interview.
“I believe the statement speaks for itself and the Sutton Family and I have nothing further to say on the topic,” he wrote in an email.
