Obama’s “coincidental” and “casual” connections to terrorists and people with terrorist ties never ceases to amaze, does it? I mean it’s just amazing how Barack Obama keeps “innocently” “bumping into” these people.
Cross posted from The Real Barack Obama (RBO). Also note the connections of this attorney to DNC and Moveon. One big happy Anti-Capitalist family is what my party has become. Again. For now.
Yid with Lid reports today that Obama is using Joseph E. Sandler, a member of the firm of Sandler, Reiff & Young, P.C., in Washington, D.C., who concentrates in campaign finance and election law matters, to defend him in the Philip Berg civil law suit.
Regarding Sandler, Yid with Lid described him August 14, 2007, as the “Legal Hit Man for the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)” (“an organization with terrorist ties” and “an un-indicted co-conspirator in the Holyland Foundation Hamas Funding trial”):
Berg wants Obama to Produce his real birth certificate to prove that he meets the citizenship requirements to be President. Rather than just [produce] the birth certificate (is he trying to hide something?) Obama’s legal team filed a motion to dismiss. One of the Lawyers filing the motion was Joe Sandler … of the Washington law firm Sandler, Reiff, and Young …
Sandler’s role for CAIR has been to stifle people from telling the truth about Islam. For example, last year he tried to get Jihad Expert Robert Spencer banned from speaking to the Young American Foundation, by using a threatening letter. Sandler followed up by threatening columnist Mike Adams for writing about the Spencer incident.
Look, everyone deserves legal representation that is not the Issue. The real issue is why is a candidate for President of the United States, a guy who wants to take over the role of Commander-in-Chief in the war on terror, using the Lawyer for CAIR a group with terrorist connections, to represent him in a law suit? Once again the Junior Senator from Illinois leave us with questions and no answers.
The DNC connection
What Yid with Lid did not mention in this article is that Sandler is general counsel for the Democratic National Committee.
Why is the DNC’s general counsel, and his law firm, involved in Obama’s civil case? Doesn’t this at least raise some questions on the proper role of the DNC’s counsel in a civil law suit involving a presidential candidate? It’s not the DNC that is being sued, after all.
Sandler previously served as DNC general counsel, according to his law firm profile, 1986 to 1989; was general counsel of the Rules and Credentials Committee for the 1988 Democratic National Convention; and again served on DNC staff as general counsel February 1993 until May 1998.
His current law firm profile does not mention that he currently serves in that capacity although it was Sandler who, in April 2008, spoke on behalf of the DNC when it filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court “to force Sen. John McCain to stay in the public financing system until he formally [accepted] the Republican presidential nomination in September.”
The profile does not mention that Sandler was DNC general counsel in November 2006, when his name was raised regarding illegal campaign robocalls. Don McGahn, general counsel for the National Republican Campaign Committee, wrote in a letter:
I have a recording of a pre-recorded phone message from DNC counsel Joe Sandler which contains the same sorts of disclaimers (including placement) as NRCC calls. Maybe you ought to send a letter to the DNC as well?”
Nor does his law firm profile mention that, in August 2004, while Sandler was DNC general counsel, he “insisted there was nothing wrong with working for DNC as well as for MoveOn.” Sandler not only represented MoveOn.org, but also a second 527 committee, Moving America Forward. [Jonathan Groner, "Power Punch," Legal Times, 4/26/04]
At the same time, Benjamin Ginsberg, who had represented the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth (which opposed the John Kerry campaign during the 2004 presidential election), resigned from President George W. Bush’s campaign. However, Sandler refused to quit the DNC.

"This is not culture. This is not custom. This is criminal."
It’s funny that he has to hire a lawyer period. All he has to do is show his BC end of story.

You are one of the best on the net….imho
SALUS POPULI SUPREMA LEX ESTO
( Let the Welfare of the People be the Extreme Law )
Philip Berg says he will take this to the Supreme Court if needed – I think I saw that in an interview on America’s Right blog – Maybe someone in the MSM will have to cover it if that happens, don’t hold your breath. I think Berg’s reasoning is on target. They don’t want to produce the certificate, because Barky doesn’t own one. It’s because of this lawsuit that the campaign finally admitted he holds dual citizenship with Kenya. That should have made news. Ha. You put this together with Percy Sutton letting loose that the Saudi Prince’s secretary was peddling for Obama’s college funds and it feels like we really are getting a Manchurian candidate for President. I am deeply angry with my former party of Democrats. I can’t even bear to watch the Clintons flesh peddle for this guy.
I’ve heard the birth certificate is a red herring. Supposedly the Obama camp wants to keep this floating to distract from his real corrupt, dangerous associations. But who knows with this guy, everything about him is a lie. Either way, with the media being an arm of his campaign maybe the red herring idea is an Axelrod creation also.
Obama is a corrupt lying thief and everything about him should be exposed- birth certificate, associations, funds, etc. no stone should be left unturned when dealing with this snake
I never pay much mind to law suits that aren’t over before an election is over. It’s all just a lot of museum, gets nowhere and interrupts focus. Berg will still be dicking around with this next summer. Or he will drop the case just like the Florida cases. This kind of thing has been going on for so many years through so many elections, it’s obvious they have NO impact.
UW- bottom line, this just under scores how bizarre Obama is. He just flaunts his willfulness everywhere he can, and the DNC smirks all the while . Sad, ow foolish – the American people might have a passing interest in knowing a candidate really is eligible for the Presidency. Just one other tidbit of nonsense our forefathers gave a shit about. Silly them. Why bother with rules when you can shove people around. It’s Barry saying, hey sweetie, get back to you on that. Can’t wait to send this one to the WH.
OT-I just heard Jay-Z “superstar” will be performing a free concert in Florida today to register voters and get young people motivated. Jay Z and ACORN will be doing their part to get these people in one location to register.
I wonder how many law abiding Florida residents will be attending.
In Ohio- Cuba Gooding Jr. walked about 100 young people (mindless sheep) to go register and vote, and is spending the day “motivating” people to go vote for Obama-
In their defense I must admit they are doing consumers a favor in motivating and helping us tighten our belts during these tough times.
I’d like to thank Cuba, Hollywood crowd, NYT, Newsweek, etc…and all pushing Obama- I’ve saved a bundle of money since I no longer subscribe to their magazines or pay to see their movies and never will. I’ve done the same with advertisers in the Obama Networks (MSNBO/CNN)
I read an article on Citizen Wells stating Jerome Corsi of Obama Nation is in Kenya doing an investigation of Obama.
It seems Corsi has been invited by Christian missionaries who contend the rise of Islam in the African nation has been spurred by an agreement Obama signed with Muslim leaders in an effort to elect Odinga.
[...] yes Uppity, this guy bumps into the most unusual characters a little to often. Obama’s “coincidental” [...]

Another freefest to advertise The One’s greatness so that middle America will buy the bs. Thanks for the forewarning. I will not eat before watching the evening news.
