Obama Campaign Hawks Birth Certificate T-Shirt, Campaign Claims Its A “Mobile Version” of Truth Squad to Refute Birther Book

 Obama Campaign Hawks Birth Certificate T Shirt, Campaign Claims Its A “Mobile Version” of Truth Squad to Refute Birther Book

President Obama’s 2012 presidential campaign today started selling “Made in the USA” t-shirts featuring images of both President Obama and the long-form birth certificate he released copies of last month.

“Wear your support for this campaign with an official Made in the USA T-shirt,” his website advertises. Donate $25 or more today and we'll send you your limited-edition shirt.

Coffee-mugs are also available.

“Remember ‘fight the smears’ from the 2008 campaign?” asked campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt. “This is the mobile version of it.”

Fight the Smears was an Obama campaign website from 2008 that attempted to refute untruths about the campaign, such as the claim that then-Sen. Obama was a Muslim.

 Part of the reason for the shirts, a campaign official told ABC News, is that despite the president’s release last month of his long-form birth certificate, conservative fact-challenged author Jerome Corsi’s book “Where's the Birth Certificate?: The Case that Barack Obama is not Eligible to be President” was published this week. 

A Gallup poll released last week indicate that 65% of those polled say the president “definitely” or “probably” was born in the U.S. Thirteen percent of Americans say the president “definitely” or “probably” was born in another country. Twenty percent say they don’t know enough to form an opinion. These numbers are trending towards the correct belief that the president was born in the U.S.

Selling products featuring the long-form birth certificate might be a risk for the campaign, given how seriously the president and many of his top aides have objected to the birther lie, some suggesting that it is in no small part a racist way to make the president seem “other.” Merchandise featuring the birth certificate could be seen as trivializing those concerns, or even crassly exploiting them to raise campaign cash.

The birther lie thrived despite the certificate of live-birth candidate Obama posted on his website in 2008,  contemporaneous newspaper accounts in the Hawaiian newspapers the Advertiser and Star Bulletin or fact-checking by Politifact and Factcheck.org.

Last month President Obama released his long-form birth certificate, after then-potential Republican candidate Donald Trump began questioning yet again if President Obama was born in the United States and polls indicated an increasing number of Americans were starting to question where the president was born.

In April President Obama decried the “sideshows and carnival barkers” when finally releasing his long-form copy of his birth certificate. Some White House advisers told the president not to dignify the sideshows and carnival barkers, but White House aides say two weeks ago President Obama was dismayed when in the midst of his squaring off against House Republicans over budget priorities many in the media chose instead to focus on the false charges Trump leveled about the president’s birth certificate.

In April of 2011 when Mr. Obama appeased the “birther” critics by releasing the long-form birth certificate polls indicated that more and more Americans were believing the untruth. Only 33% of Republicans said that the president was born in the U.S., with 45% sure he was born outside the U.S., and 22 percent unsure where he was born, a recent New York Times/CBS News poll from earlier this month reported. Nineteen percent of Democrats said the president was born outside the U.S. or weren’t sure where he was born. Forty-eight percent of independents were either sure he was born outside the U.S. or weren’t clear either way.

“We do not have time for this kind of silliness,” President Obama said in late April when releasing his birth certificate hoping to put this issue today bed. “We’ve got better stuff to do.”

The “better stuff to do” obviously refers to raising campaign funds.

I suspect this president will take votes for whatever reason he can, and if he can paint himself as the victim of racism, there are people who will rally to support him.

pull it up in illustrator and you can clearly see it was edited and not a real birth certificate!

A “new era of civility in politics”, indeed. Anything to get him more money and power, even if it drags down civil discourse. What a joke. You’re the president — you’re supposed to be better than your opponents, not sink to their level. He could learn a lesson or two from the way Bush handled criticism. His skin is way too thin.

When will the “birth certificate” be replaced by NATURAL BORN CITIZEN which is really the issue that has not been proven by that phony piece of green photopaper? Obama was not born to 2(two)American citizen parents. That is the whole truth right there. Don’t care what else anybody says, because the smoke screen has been laid to cover the truth as long as they can. He should not be even thinking of running again.

Obama’s birth certificate is a FAKE. It’s a FAKE. It’s a FAKE.
There are DOZENS of experts in digital imagery who have pointed out DOZENS of places on the birth certificate proving it’s a FAKE.
It’s just a matter of time that the whole thing unravels.
Obama is a fraud. A con. A cheat. He’s going to prison.

Posted by: Greg | May 18, 2011, 1:32 pm 1:32 pm

Will it provide an explanation for the 3 year delay in releasing such a basic document? Will it identify where the revisions on the image of long form birth certificate were made?

Why did a set of twins born three days earlier then BHO have a later numbered Birth Certificate? Why the coverup in Hawaii by the local department of records? Why all of this secrecy on the background of a sitting president? Why use a program as complicated a Adobe Illustrator to scan a document (birth certificate) instead of the common Jpeg, PDF adobe acrobat, etc? I could go on but something wrong to quote the famous Dr Henry Lee.

Why did it take so long to show us the long form birth certificate?
Why was the certification date on the birth certificate just days before it was released in April.
Definitely a foolish thing to pursue, yet all O had to do in 2008 was release the long form birth certificate.
O was the cause of all this foolishness.

Posted by: Tennessee Doubter | May 18, 2011, 1:37 pm 1:37 pm

@jose – The fact it is in layers can be attributed to OCR technology when it was scanned. However, there are other issues regarding the “long form” certificate that can not be explained. I wont go into details, but a google search will provide the details.
The fact that his father was not an American citizen DISQUALIFIES him as a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN as required by the Constitution.

Posted by: Steve | May 18, 2011, 1:37 pm 1:37 pm

The so called birth certificate appeared to be cut and pasted on a larger sheet of paper and scanned. Anyone can do that. Odumbo said “we don’t have time for this silliness” then trotted off to be on the View.

If we had an honest and unbiased media in this country, this grifter wouldn’t last one week. Read Corsi’s new book and you’ll see exactly how many incredible falsehoods and frauds this man has foisted upon our country. This “president” should never have been on the ballot and should certainly have never been elected save for the corrupt, biased lamestream media who never bring up ANY negatives about their darling. Impeach, Impeach, Impeach!

BO has never released the LONG FORM birth certificate, morons. It clearly says at the top “Certificate of Live Birth” Everyone born in that hospital at that time has an actual long form. Americans are such gullible idiots. I believe he is a citizen but he is still stringing along the birthers for whatever reason. BO is pure human filth.

Was it a “Birther Lie” when the House of Representatives AND the Senate conveined hearings and demanded McCain’s Birth Certificate so they could decide whether or not McCain was legally born in the USA and qualified for the Presidency, but when both of these groups were asked about Obama’s Birth Certificate, the Hearings were instantly closed and they refused to demand Obama’s certificate as they did McCains.. By the Way, both committee’s were headed by the Democratic party.

Insanity
We can be sure that the museum will be politically biased toward Democrats – don’t count on anything mentioning the Democrat party’s past (and to some extent present) as the party of the Jim Crow KKK south and of segregation.
And of course nothing will be mentioned of how the modern Democrat Party has exceeded its KKK and Jim Crow past and has:
– destroyed the modern African American family through the poison of public assistance which excluded the father from the home – which has in turn resulted in 70% fatherless homes, causing criminalization of the community, gangsterism, loss of education and all the horrors we have today.
–how the 1968 Kennedy Immigration law sponsored by Democrats led to the loss of millions of jobs in fields that had traditionally been done by African Americans for generations and which but for massive legal and illegal immigration could have been far better paying. Nor any mention of how as a result of Democrat Party policies these immigrants have cycled through the ghetto leaving African Americans behind.
–Of course no mention of how the Democrat party appointed leaders over African Americans more beholden to party than community, and which have wasted over a trillion dollars of public money part of which has been used to buy and pay for these leaders, with the result that the African American community is in a worse place than before that money was spent – 50 years, a half a century, and nothing to show for it.
–Nor will there be a mention of how the Democrat Party press instituted an editorial policy in Democrat biased media known as ‘political correctness’ which meant that virtually none of the foregoing can even be mentioned – the biggest disaster in American history next to slavery and not one thing can be said about it! (let’s see how long this comment survives)
–Nor how when after the 2004 election African Americans were finally questioning why they should give the Democrat party 100% support and get nothing in return, the Democrats looked for and found in the response to Hurricane Katrina a way to tar the other party as racist, even though the reporting as to the response included flat out lies and exaggerations
Nope – we won’t hear about any of that, even though this is a vital part of the modern African American experience and history.

“The birther lie thrived” – Jake Tapper.
Hey Jake,
How about a little bit of actual investigative journalism rather than simply accepting everything the administration tells you. For example, can you come up with an explanation for why Obama’s birth cert. has a registration number that is higher than the Nordyke twins, even though their certificates were registered, in order, 3 days after Obama’s? Obama’s number is 10641 and the twins are 10637 and 10638. Jake, doesn’t that make you at least a little bit curious?

Never in my long life have I seen a president of our country who acts so very unpresidential. His smug, imperious attitude is inappropriate for the leader of the free world. He seems rather like the world’s oldest ‘frat boy’who plays to his audience like a chameleon. I especially enjoy the way he drops his ‘g’s when addressing minority audiences as if he must ‘come down to their level’.

Obama long-form birth certificate proven a fake, or at the very least tampered with.
“You don’t really have to look further than the child’s name,” says Bhangoo. “The way the ‘r’ in ‘Barack’ differs in all sorts of ways from the rest of the letters, the way the green background fades away around certain parts of ‘Hussein’ and ‘Obama.’ It’s a Photoshop job, and not even a particularly careful one. We did a little followup work and found a death certificate for a Herbert Harrison O’Brien from the same hospital, dated August 5, 1961. The date of birth on that death certificate is given as August 4, same as little Barack Hussein Obama. But the funny thing is, there’s no corresponding birth certificate for baby Herbert. Where did it go? And why doesn’t Obama’s mother sign his birth certificate until August 7, three days after her son is born? By then, we were too depressed to dig any deeper.”

I see ABC has given up on the long standing tradition of unbiased reporting. It’s continued use of the term ‘birther lies’ is revolting. People can be ‘wrong’ without lying, a fact ABC seems to have conveniently overlooked. I can find plenty of Obama lies if all one needs to do is to offer an opinion different from someone else and is truly something they believe in, even if it was later shown to be wrong.
Personally, I don’t care one way or another if he is a US citizen. Having Obama in office is scary enough, replacing him with Joe Biden would be a nightmare!
What’s done is done, but our Congress and President have an obligation to make sure this ‘silliness’ never happens again by laying out a simple list of rules that all future elected Congressmen and Presidents have to follow. Otherwise, we will continue with these types of distractions every few years.

There is big problems with the birth certificate.
1. When reporting race on a birth certification. The word African or the phrase African American, were not used before 1970.
2. The year of his alleged birth they used white paper not Green.
3.The Hospital Name on the Birth Certificate is wrong for the year of his birth. Before 1976 the Hospital was went by a different name. The name of the Hospital on the birth certificate is the name the Hospital used after 1976.
4 Most important is two different font types are used on the birth certificate, and one of the font types was just invented 5 weeks before his birth and not yet used on typewriters and certainly on in Hawaii.

Everyday I continue to be amazed at the numbers of people that still pretend that “that thing” is a birth certificate. It of course isn’t. Are all you people that are realizing that obana is worthless so “out of the scope of reality” that you do not understand the difference. That is how he got elected in the first place… too many people didn’t know the difference in a lot of ways. Birth certificates are official documents and always say right on them that they are a “birth certificate”… top of the page… real big letters. If he actually was “born in the USA” he would have one of those.
Half the kids in America could make “that thing” that he finally showed us on their personal computer.

If nothing else, the release of the long form birth certificate proves one thing. This President controlled the whole situation, from the first day it was brought up to April when he released it. He needs to take ownership of this issue and admit, HE is who drug it out all this time. He was pushed into a corner, thought it was a good a time as any to take advantage of the hoopla and divert attention from his lack of producing jobs, lowering the deficit, and the rising oil/gas prices.

“These numbers are trending towards the correct belief that the president was born in the U.S.”
This is the sum and substance of unbiased journalism? Instead of just reporting the facts, Tapper has to insert his own spin. Wouldn’t it have still been completely accurate without the word “correct” in that sentence, Jake? May I ask how you know it is the correct belief? How is it that you have more information than the average American? Were you present during his conception? birth? Did you see the Hawaii registrar pull his actual birth certificate from the official records? Can you explain all the anomalies in Obama’s provided certificate, the post nomination letters from the DNC to the states, the counter-statements made by his own grandmother, the lack of any hospital staff present during his birth, and on and on. Way to take a stand though; I’m sure your parents are proud of you anyway.

This from the huffington Post:
“Democrats held a congressio­nal hearing about McCain’s birth place and if his parents were American Citizens. Took him about 3 hours to supply every document they demanded plus everything that could have a bearing on his eligibilit­y. He didn’t whine about the insult of being forced to prove” his eligibilit­y. He didn’t question their right to question him about it.
Compare and contrast.
In retrospect the Republican­s should have held a hearing about Obama’s eligibilit­y the day after the democrats went after McCain. That would have been the end of it.”
Because Obama’s father was not an American citizen he probaly would not have been proven eligible!

Investigator Susan Daniels has been busy trying to make something out of a list of 39 Social Security numbers (SSNs) she claims to have retrieved from databases, numbers that appear in abstracts from public records associated with names not totally unlike Barack Obama. (An expert on public records has stated that it is not at all uncommon for people to show up with multiple numbers in these raw databases.1)
This past March, perhaps driven by a belief that she had found something real, Daniels filed a complaint with the Social Security Administration (SSA) alleging that Barack Obama was using a Social Security number issued in Connecticut (CT), which couldn’t be legitimate because Barack Obama never lived there. The SSA responded in a letter, admitting that Obama’s SSN was fraudulent.

Did he use both names to get college loans or did he claim dual citizenshi­p to get loans to pay for college or was he just granted loans to these schools becuase it was the minority thing to do? Just asking I have nieces and a nephew who are 4.0 students and getting student loans are very hard for them as I am sure there are a lot of other folks out there who would like to know how a not so great student went Ivy League with not too many smarts and no cash of his own.”

Not that I really care, but who in hell “advises” the President on his personal affairs…..must be someone tucked away, but Obama just doesn’t get it, does he? Instead of letting his Birth Certificate attempt to settle the issue for him, he restores the whole question all over again….was he a poor student?…..why was he admitted to Columbia….and what about his Harvard admission….his sudden development of brain power sufficient to give him a magna cum laude graduation……..so, of course, we will have to continue DRAGGING THE TRUTH out of him and his cronies, because if Trump is a carnival barker, then all Obama has managed to do is to point us to Obama’s Fun House. What a joke!

FactCheck is an arm of the powerful Annenberg Foundation which also runs the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, the entity which employed Barack Obama as its chairman of the board. FactCheck conducted an allegedly “independent” analysis of Obama’s 2007 computer-generated birth document (see above).
According to the National Review, the Annenberg Challenge was founded by former “Weather Underground” terrorist Bill Ayers, who apparently played a pivotal role in politically positioning Obama to run for public office. See this National Review article detailing Obama’s relationship to Annenberg and Ayers and its unsuccessful efforts to review the archives of the Annenberg Challenge.
FactCheck is guilty of making the patently false claim that the Hawaii “…Department of Health confirmed Oct. 31 that Obama was born in Honolulu…” See Born In The USA?. Hawaii officials have made NO such claim.
On the same web page FactCheck also falsely states that, “FactCheck staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate.” In truth, the document examined by FactCheck is a 2007 computer-generated document and is obviously not the “original” Obama 1961 birth certificate sought by the Foundation. These are simply and unequivocally, false statements.
FactCheck is part of the Democrat machine.

“Democracy is the most vile form of government…democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention: have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property: and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.” – James Madison
“Democracy… while it lasts is more bloody than either [aristocracy or monarchy]. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.” – John Adams
“At no time, at no place, in solemn convention assembled, through no chosen agents, had the American people officially proclaimed the United States to be a democracy. The Constitution did not contain the word or any word lending countenance to it, except possibly the mention of “We, the people,” in the preamble . . . When the Constitution was framed no respectable person called himself or herself a democrat. ” — Charles Austin Beard and Mary Ritter Beard, America in Midpassage [1939]

It doesn’t actually say that, but Leprechauns are such weasely little jerks that the Founding Fathers would have prohibited them from running for office, had they not been enchanted by the wee folk.

The birth certificate issue thrived because Obama and handlers planned all along to use it to their political advantage for the re-elect campaign.
If Obama had been transparent and forthcoming – he could have nipped this in the bud at the beginning of the 2008 campaign….but Nooooooooo – he held the birth certificate back, and allowed a small portion of his opponents to get whipped up into a frenzy…and now, of course, Alynsky-style – the ridicule comes.

Being experts in document verification, the know-it-alls at ABC might want to knock on the door of an establishment on Clark Street in Chicago named Man’s Country. They can put in a Freedom of Information request to see if there are membership cards in the names of the current POTUS and Mayor of Chicago. If the owner and/or manager of the establishment have conviently misplaced membership records, I hear the locals in the neighborhood and shop owners can provide some illuminating information on some of the past and present clientele that may be of national interest.

all i can think about is how until shortly before the 2008 election barry was not in the news – except as a black man who won a senate seat in chicago. scary that that acomplishment plus a history of being a marxist community organizer could worm his way into the presidency.

Fact:
Question asked of Michael Chertoff in 2008 by Patrick Leahy considering McCains eligibility….
At a Judiciary Committee hearing on April 3 2008, Leahy asked Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, himself a former Federal judge, if he had doubts that McCain was eligible to serve as President.
“My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural-born American citizen,” Chertoff replied.
“That is mine, too,” said Leahy.
Born of American parents folks….not one but two. This was manifest in the US Constitution to prevent someone being elected to the presidency from having allegiance to other nations.

He controls our obsession with conspiracy theories. We have no choice but to believe in conspiracy theories because Obama does not disprove them. His “handlers” do this on purpose.

Obama’s life experience somehow insulated him from ordinary experiences that are critical to understand the American psyche. He plays a “regular guy,” but is little more than a “yes man” to Soros and a skilled teleprompter reader.
In terms of economics, he is so far removed from everyday life, he will never understand how this country pays its bills.

“Birther lie…?” Way to go ABC/Tapper/Miller. Keep validating the obvious…that ABC is a media tool for the Obama Administration. Nice.
Let’s all ignore the fact that Obama has played politics with this issue for two years by withholding the long-form birth certificate (real or forged) until the fervor reached its peak and just before a the book about his BC was to be released. Make no mistake, this was all a petty political effort designed to make those who were legitimately questioning his U.S. birth (as all should have been) look foolish while he remained “above the fray.” He probably could have produced it at any time. This was unpresidential and divisive gamesmanship.

Posted by: Arjay | May 18, 2011, 2:38 pm 2:38 pm

I think it is a mistake. More people who couldn’t care previously will now start looking a little deeper. It has been proven by several “tech” people that the one he just recently presented as his birth certificate is a forgery. Several high tech people who do investigations of computer generated documents like this for a living have said his latest is a forgery. He is trying to make a joke of something that is required by our constitution, but then, he has been successful in making a mockery of our rule of law, our banking industry, our automobile industry, – just about everything he touches he ruins.

and the people who have no doubts of his birthplace….will they now agree with Obama’s poor performance President?

Obama just can’t make sense even with his vast fortune of Big Brains and Big Money available to him.
Just a month or so ago, the world was told that Obama had “already released his birth certificate” complete with Press Secy. Gibbs waving some green paper around, insisting…insisiting that THAT was “the birth certificate.”
In one of Obama’s books, he claims he “found (his) birth certificate” in grannie’s house in Hawaii. What happened to THAT birth certificate?
How many of these “birth certificates” has Obama obtained from a variety of sources, anyway? Box of toss-aways in grannie’s storage, Press Secy. with the first proven fraud of a thing and now this third one also proven to a 100 percentile to be a fraudulent document?
When are we supposed to actually see the real one? Even HI says they “saw” his “birth certificate” that was mostly hand-written and so far, none of the three varieties Obama has “released” have much to any handwriting on them except signatures or forgeries of signatures.

What so you expect from one of the leftist controled big three. George Soros has given millions to ABC,CBS and NBC and also CNN. They only print the liberal line. Not one of them has commented on the fact that both the live birth and long form birth certificates are obvious fakes. Dozens of document examiners have examined them and discovered that they were done on a computer word processor. Some of the clues were #1 it was created from 11 to 14 different layers with some info on each and put together. #2 The green print on the right edge is much lighter than the rest. #3 Some of the type is spaced in a way that only a word processor can manage and no 60′s type writer is capable of. #4 number on
top right is higher than the Nordyke twins who were born after Obama. #5 mis-sspelling in the seal on bottom rt. the wword The is spelled Txe. Finally #6 there is no embossed Hawaii seal on the
bottom center. It is laughable when
these leftist news orginization treat this obvious fake like is the holy grail.

Why is “THE” spelled THX on you released copy?
So, Many holes in your story…
I was surprised you released your fake document but I’m glade you did. You have only proved their are additional issues we should be concerned with.
So tell us Obama, who faked the document? Someone from the CIA or FBI?
No before anyone rants to oppose my post…. I don’t care if he is purple as long as he meets the condition set forth by the founders documents.

Obama is truly disqualified:
His parents must be US citizens for Obama to be a natural born citizen. His father wasn’t. This would also disqualify Bobby Jindal. Worse yet, Obama is using false SSNs which is a felony. Making matter worse, the Hawaii birth certificate should be an adopted one for his Indonesian father. The one the WH showed has dozens of problems revealing it’s a fake, the worst being the incorrect number and no seal which is needed. Nero is laughing at us in his grave.

Obama was enrolled in U.S. schools as a foreign student — I would bet that that’s what he’s trying to conceal, that he applied for and received both acceptance into U.S. schools and likely as anything also financial aid for/from those schools and/or U.S. taxpayers are a foreign student.
Now that he’s sure he’s a U.S. citizen, that/this latest claim would prove he’d committed fraud in those claims earlier for money and education that he was a foreign student. It would also prove he’d lied as to his claims he was a citizen on just about everything from his law school forward.
Worse, it’d prove his registration for Selective Service involved him committing fraud. So he’s keeping t he actual birth cert. AND academic records private because he can’t maintain the two lines of ‘reality’, since they compete with one another.
THUS, he continues to have these various forged ‘documents’ produced that don’t evidence much except that he’s got very bad forgers working for him.

It’s still hard to say where the obnoxious little loser was born. But being by far the worst president in this country’s history — and the first one to despise the U.S. and all it stands for — sure ought to be enough to guarantee a change in 2013. Voters were stupid in 2008, but can’t possibly be that stupid the next time around.

Probably means they respondent is NOT sure.

Because, really, think about it: he says he was a struggling, impoverished student. Yet he also claims he finished Occidental, Columbia and Harvard Law.
How did he pay for those expensive expriences? Two years at Columbia does not come cheap nor even affordable what with living costs added on, too. Samee with Harvard Law.
So he had to have had other sources other than himself paying for those experiences. And he also traveled to/from Pakistan and the U.S. and other nations, continent of Africa included. How was THAT paid for? His only summer jobs, scooping ice cream at a parlor and writing classified ads for a few weeks/months both.
His life story has never rung true. It just does not add up realistically as he’s reported it. So he’s hiding something substantial. Likely as not, it’s that he’s engaged in fraud of some sort because no one with a viable birth cert. would go to such hoop-jumping to avoid showing it to the entire nation.

If Obama is legitimate, one has to wonder ‘Why’ he felt compelled to release a long form birth certificate that is so obviously fradulent? Obama, who refers to himself as: “A man of Africa”, is precisely the type of ‘divided loyalties’ individual that our Founders attempted to prohibit from ascendancy to the presidency when they constructed our Constitution.

Your obvious bias towards his version of the facts shines through, Mr. Tapper. To quote you above: “These numbers are trending towards the correct belief that the president was born in the U.S.”
C’mon! Where’s the journalistic objectiveness and integrity in a comment like that?
My question about this issue is…. Why the “GAME” playing? These questions have been out there since before the 2008 campaign, and could easily be put to bed with forthright candor. Why the stubborn silence, the refusal to release the birth certificate, college records, etc…? Why the secrecy? It’s a game, and I don’t like “game-playing”. Now, ridicule of people posing this question is the rule of the day. Shame on you for your journalistic bias and manipulation of the masses. You are obvious and boring.

Now that Obama’s BC states that he is INELIGIBLE to hold office (Father was Kenyan citizen), maybe he can also explain:

2. How he went to Pakastan when US citizens were NOT AUTHORIZED to go there.

I don’t really care where he was born.

Posted by: Barry | May 18, 2011, 2:56 pm 2:56 pm

Though I still am not certain about the birth certificate, that has never been my deepest concern about Mr. Open and Transparent. My deepest concern is why he sealed his records from kindergarten through Harvard Law school? How did he go to Pakistan in the 80s without a US passport? Why is the Social Security number on the selective service card one issued in Connecticut where he never lived? You know notice all the question marks?
That is because I have a lot of questions about this man’s background. It has nothing to do with race, creed, color or religion; rather it has everything to do with his extreme secrecy concerning his education from the time he was a little boy until the time he left Harvard. Only someone with much to hide does such a thing and he is the first president in the history of the United States that we know so little about. Plus, the lame stream media keep giving him a pass on everything which they’ve never done for any previous president so hey media get over your racial guilt or whatever your problem is and start asking some hard questions about this “open and transparent” president. We are a free and open society and have the right to know the background of the guy at the top, you know the guy calling all he shots? What happened that this man can associate with some of the most radical extremists this country is ever produced and no one questions the fact he has hidden his background from the American people. Now try to call me a birther. You people of the media should be deeply ashamed of yourselves go find your consciences.

Now THAT sounds like looney-tunes.
It does’t matter WHO “started it” as to asking for Barack Obama’s birth certificate if also academic and adoption records. What matters is that he won’t release any of it and has, instead, gone to great lengths to manufacture artificial paper that gullible people continue to accept as actual. Many specialists in documents have analyzed the latest two and come up with the same determination: it’s fraud.

Isn’t it obvious? The only reason that Obama didn’t release his birth certificate early on was to make those who questioned his legal right to run for the presidency look like fools and fringe-dwelling conspiracy nutcases.
He milked it for all it was worth for political gain.

So typical of the unethical, tyrannical Obama regime. There were plenty of sincere, well-meaning people — non-crazy people, non-hating people — who had doubts about where he was born.

According to the poll, which tries to hide the opinions of the reponsdents by mixing the “defintely” born wiht the “probably” born in the USA, most people still are not convinced from the recent document.
I suspect this is because most people have photocopied before and felt no reason to put it in a PDF.
In fact , there is no reason to have a pdf. for a single paged document.
It would be one solid image in a jpg. format…no need for searhc elements or layers or any ohter reason to use a pdf.
This is a big loser for Obama for many reasons.
1. No one thought it was the Republicans pushing the issue
2. No one honestly thought the first documetn was real, nor should they froom it’s appearance.
3. The second document is even more questionable then the first.
4. If some is convinced by the second document, Obama is just gooing to make that person feel dumb .That does not encourage them to vote for Obama
5. More people will be convinced he wasn’t born in the USA after examining the second document, than will be convinced of the opposite.
6. The issue has no influence on people who already believe he was born in Hawaii…other than his campagain people. They won’t be deciding to vote for Obama on the notion that others believe he’s a liar.
7. The liberal media’s response to the issue was more than odd in their angry defense of Obama, , that will reinforce most people’s feeling that they are corrupt and onesided.

This just proves that Obama has a time machine. After he planted the stories in the Hawaiian newspapers announcing his birth, he flew back to change the law so that he could be eligible.
It’s all in Saul Alinsky’s book on Time Machines, which was really written by Bill Ayers.

“We do not have time for this kind of silliness,” President Obama said in late April when releasing his birth certificate hoping to put this issue today bed. “We’ve got better stuff to do.”
So, it takes him over 2 years to present a “real” birth certificate when he COULD have done it in 2008. During that time he dodges any conversation about it that he possibly can. Then, he comes out with the “silliness” statements, because “we’ve got better stuff to do”. Now, the BC is out, and Obama is happy because the ‘issue’ can be put to bed. So how does he go about putting all the nonsense behind and moving on… his re-election campaign SELLS T-SHIRTS AND MUGS printed with what he earlier DIDN’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT. Wow – now that’s a new level of immaturity we haven’t seen.

The birth certificate is a forgery.
This is not in the realm of probability stacking any more. The page portion here is curved as it is allegedly “scanned” from a book page. The curvature is consistent with both the margin lines and the printed word “Sex.”
The typed word Male shows no curvature in the baseline of the text; this is physically impossible if the word “Male” was originally printed upon the same page that was scanned. Worse, the entire hospital name is straight while the text of the caption is properly curved at the margin – but not elsewhere.
Everyone has tried to explain away the various “coincidences.” But for this to have happened “coincidentally” the typewriter would have had to curve the text it was typing.
Sorry, but no.

The birth certificate produced was photo shopped and is not real. Even if it were, his dad was not an American citizen meaning he is ineligible to be president. Both parents must be citizens. His dad was an English subject at the time of his birth because he was from British East Africa. Kenya didn’t come into existence until two years later so he couldn’t have been a Kenyan citizen.

Posted by: Don | May 18, 2011, 3:16 pm 3:16 pm

Two legitimate questions might be asked:
1. If OBama really wanted to prove that he was born in the US, why didn’t he ask the Hawaii Dept. of vital statistics to release his birth certificate.
2. If Obama had a birth certificate, why did he wait three years and spend millions of dollars in legal fees to avoid showing it?

Real Facts wrote:
Fact: Obama is the 7th US president with a foreign parent.
Andrew Jackson: both parents Irish
James Buchanan: Irish father
Chester Arthur: Irish father
Woodrow Wilson: English mother
Herbert Hoover: Canadian mother
Thomas Jefferson: Mother born in England(understandable at that time period)
so there is clear precedent the birthers claims of natural born are incorrect. but not a single one will change their mind.
The issue is not whether they have foreign born parents. Were the parents CITIZENS at the time. As far as I can tell, the parents were citizens at the time the Constitution was adopted and were citizens of the US. That means these folks were born to US citizens. The Constitution also makes a rule regarding those who are citizens at the time the Constitution was adopted so it matters not whether Jeffereon’s parents were born here or even citizens.
Important to understand the issue. Obama’s daddy was not a US citizens which means he is not natural born.

There is no point to this. The CIA is finally on board after he kicked them in the nads repeatedly. Thanks to their mousey fairybait Director.
Nobody can access his records except for in a Madrassa in Jakarta. The rest are sealed. His Father was Kenyan. A subject of the British Crown. You’d think the media would pick up on him being a polygamist from another Country. But no. That also affects Natural Born Citizenship. Dual allegiance.
I know it’s hard to grasp but it comes down to this. You must be verified to be born in the USA. And not born to foreigners. Crazy, I know. Why the hostility towards England.. so weird..
A) Verify that the “Certiciate of Live Birth” is accurate, even if it’s the freshest printing I’ve ever seen and not a “Birth Certificate”.
B) Verify that his parents were American Citizens.
C) None of this matters because you don’t even know the laws that protect this Country.
And he knows you don’t know. You have to be told. You can’t read a book unless it’s got 20 commercials attached. Face it. You don’t care.
And you’ll find out why Natural born citizenship is important if you ever read a history book. It was important enough to merit them making it one of the two only criteria to be President of the United States.

The idiom, “Money talks and BS walks”, explains how the narcissistic son of a petty Communist became the Fascist ruler of Italy. The same idiom explains why people are scorned by the anti-journalism ABC. Obama is a replay of the story of Mussolini with the only change being one of scope. The industrialists and intellectuals that backed Mussolini pushed the “we are running out of resources” scam in order to justify their call for a totalitarian system of government. Their claim was that the “total body” of the State (Corpus) could deal with the alleged resource crisis more efficiently if everything worked together in the way that the human body does. The new alleged resource crisis is the alleged urgent need for “green” energy. The new Corpus is “the world”. Therefore, the Media Establishment (controlled by the transnational climate fear profiteer corporations) will only support writing that promotes the new Citizen of the World’s hope and change. Prior to the chanting of “Barack Hussein Obama; mmm, mmm, mmm”, children in Italy were taught to chant “Mussolini; la, la, la”. A copy of the recording of “Mussolini; la, la, la” may be obtained by purchasing a DVD copy of A&E’s Biography, “Mussolini: Italy’s Nightmare”. In addition to the soundtrack of “Mussolini; la, la, la”, you might also be interested in that biography’s description of Mussolini’s emotional need to follow the dream of his father. If you compare what we know about Obama’s childhood with Mussolini’s childhood, it is obvious that there is a parallel.

It took three years to release a birth certificate that could have been released in a day. There are numerous problems with it. We know it’s a fake!
There are also serious problems with Obama’s short-form COLB, the indices in Hawaii, the ever-changing policies in Hawaii, his Social Security number, Selective Service registration, and his hidden or missing passport, school, university, and senate records. He is a fraud and the mainstream media covers for him instead of investigating and reporting the truth. They are destroying their credibility along with our country.

Wonder why the T-Shirt with Obama’s picture is worded “Made in the USA” instead of BORN?
“Made” usually refers to a Mafia induction into a crime family.
Obviously, this whole Birther Campaign by Obama and his comrades is a reaction to his caving in to that Reality Show star and offering a copy of a Birth certificate.

Actually it showed that Obama had dual-citizenship… British, from his father… and American from his mother. While it proves he is a “native-born” citizen, he is not a “natural-born” citizen. The founding fathers were trying to exclude those with split allegiances like this from becoming President… That is WHY the “natural-born” stipulation was made in the first place. But that’s okay… Go ahead with your delusion and call people names like a bunch of 6th graders.

SO riddle me this.. his Birth Cert. named a hospital that wasn’t even in existence until years after he was born.. Then his fathers country was Kenya. Which was not called that at the time of his birth, it was called Kenya Colony not Kenya? Would you think that strange…
Check it out for your self.. but I still think something is fishy about Obama..
Then it comes to all his lies… yet some liberals don’t hear the lies? Like Obamacare will not cost you a cent.. Hello McFly.. our health care we receive at work is now counted as income.. DUH!!!
Then the waivers to be exempt from Obamacare.. Why are 25% of them in Pelosi’s district and it is a case by case exemption..
If anyone votes for Obama again.. then it just proves that they are to darn dumb to be allowed to vote..

Prove it! Can you? Neither can I, nor anyone else. That’s the problem. The President’s is very ambiguous to say the least. His lack of transparency with regards to his mother’s heroic devotion in clandestine ops is now being extensively documented. This man has his finger on the nuclear button for God’s sake! And we have no transparency of Barrack/Barry in the 20th Century, period. Instead we have shotty reporters like you Mr. Tapper. It doesn’t matter how many awards you may have on a mantle or hanging on a wall, you are a terrible reporter to the destruction of our nation.

I have always respected Jake Tapper as one of the dwindling number of real journalists out there. But this pro-Obama puff piece knocks him down several notches in my esteem.
First we have his contorted “analysis” of the Gallup data. Let me simplify: 47% of Gallup’s sample believes he was “definitely” born in the United States. The rest (a majority) do not – either expressing some level of doubt or stating they just don’t know at all. And, remember, this poll was taken after the release of Mr. Obama’s purported long-form birth certificate, not before.
Then there are Mr. Tapper’s definitive comments – i.e. that Barack Obama’s birth claim is “correct”, that Jerome Corsi is “fact-challenged” (did Tapper read the book?) and it is an “untruth” that the birth certificate is fraudulent.
How many people have to point out that the birth certificate is “layered” (which would be impossible if it had simply been scanned), that its registration number is numerically out of sequence with when he was supposed to have been born (how can that be?) and that there are a number of places where wording seems to have been added/changed after the fact (refer to the link provided by “obamareleaseyourrecords” at 2:09PM) to get Jake Tapper’s attention?
Do these factors prove it is a forgery? Maybe yes and maybe no; I’m no expert and don’t claim to know. But they certainly put the issue in play.
I wish Jake Tapper, and some of his colleagues, would do a little less promotional work for Mr. Obama and a little more investigative journalism.

This poll was produced to convince you that most people are convinced Obama was born in the USA
“”A Gallup poll released last week indicate that 65% of those polled say the president “definitely” or “probably” was born in the U.S”"
Why did they combine the “definetly” with the “proabably” , when probably actually means the respondent is NOT sure?
Because this is a propaganda poll, and article.
They are attempting to use the band wagon effect, which tries to convince you tht since “most” people “opinion” translates into something you should too believe.
That is not how facts work. Evidence proves something true or untrue, not the opinions of several thousand people in a poll.
The fact is the second document is LESS convincing than the first.
Everyone has photocopied a document and at no time did they get the saved file in a PDF , always a jpg. ….it’s how it works and everyone knows it.
Just having a pdf format is enough to raise concerns, but the document in quesion is also in layers. This is used with multi paged documents so you can seach it.. Never for a single page, there is no need for searchable elements.
The second document , once viewed, will convince more people that it’s a fake then will convince them it’s real.

I don’t believe the president or the media. They both have lied to the American public, so what is to say they aren’t lying now? Obama is the one who has kept his bith certificate a secret all these years. Obama asked for the questions. Obama has paid millions of dollars to keep his school records and his birth certificate away from the public. Obama is so funny at times. He is doing everything he can to destroy capitalism. Isn’t selling t-shirts cpitalism? Da-ha! Maybe Obama doesn’t understand the concept of capitalism. Maybe he just isn’t smart enough.

If you take a look at the Gallup Poll numbers, there’s nothing to be that excited about in the Obama camp. Even AFTER the “real” birth certificate has been released, 47% say they DEFINITELY believe he was born in the US. That means they feel, without a doubt, he was born here. However, the other categories, which are NOT without a doubt, being either PROBABLY born here (or another country) or DEFINITELY born in another country or don’t have enough information to say, the combined percentage is 51%!! Once again, this is AFTER the BC has been released. Does this not show that people are STILL not convinced or just really don’t know what to think? I believe it shows just that… and shows that the cockiness being shown by the administration right now may not last long.
It shouldn’t be a surprise that people are confused. He and his ‘people’ have been so contradictory in their words, deeds and actions that people just don’t know who he is or what he’s about. They STILL don’t know. And it’s not the public’s fault. As the saying goes “you can’t nail jell-o to the wall”.

What is with the obnoxious attacks on either Tea Partiers or Republicans?? The first court challenge regarding the birth certificate (and many more after) was brought on by a DEMOCRAT!!
Talk about people who are factually-challenged…
Second, it seems so convenient for those who attack anyone with questions about the President’s eligibility to change the subject. It is NOT necessarily about WHERE he was born. It is also not necessarily just about whether he was born as a “natural born” citizen (which his mother needed to meet certain requirements since his father was not a citizen). But there is also a question about the possible Indonesian citizenship and whether or not he reclaimed his U.S. citizenship by age 23 as would be required by law (if he had given it up).
The argument is NOT what a lot of Obama supporters try to suggest. If you really support Obama and don’t like the challenges, then that is great! Debate the ACTUAL arguments being brought up. At LEAST stay on the subject and challenge the detractors on what they are REALLY saying. Don’t change the subject or the argument each time. Don’t take half the challenge and ignore other parts. And most of all, do NOT blame an entire political party or an entire movement (TEA parties) that has NOTHING to do with the claims. TEA Parties are various groups of people who are tired of big government over-taxing them without proper representation. They did NOT bring up the birth certificate nor did they bring up the eligibility issue.

Posted by: JBC | May 18, 2011, 3:36 pm 3:36 pm

The truth is simple: We can never know for certain.
That is because the only things we can know for certain, are those things that we know are false. All the rest is either held as theory or faith – but never factual.
The only things we know for certain are true, are those things that have had a theory posited that has subsequented positively been refuted by empirical evidence.
President Obama’s long-form birth certificate is not empirical evidence. It is a piece of paper that may or may not be genuine. It could have been forged, last month or it could have been forged the week he was born. And no one can prove that either way.
Therefore the debate will continue, for no side can ever conclusively state the truth one way or the other.
IIRC, Obama’s grandma says he was born in Kenya. She was there – but then she may have a proud sense of bias and want people to believe that. President Obama on the other hand says, he was born in Hawaii – in fact, he says he remembers being born – although I seriously doubt that.
Who do you believe? That’s up to you. But just keep in mind that no matter what you believe, it is merely a “belief” and not necessarily truthful.
In the words of Karl Popper – “Knowledge is a sophistcated statement of ignorance”.
…and that is simply because of that fact that “all we know” is merely what we can say for certain, “I don’t know”.

I agree that, what could’ve taken one day to show the BC, took over 2 years, it has to be a forgery!!!

The reason why Obama would not release thr long form(and obviously he could have based on the quick release when his attorney requested it)was because it impeaches the narrative of his life history-particularly the fiction in “Dreams…”.The birth certificate confirms that his parents had no meaningful relationship at the time of his birth and that they were living apart.Obama (if he wrote the book) is guilty of the same literary fraud as James Frye of Oprah frame.He is guilty of the same fraud that Greg Mortenson committed-a fraud that was the centerpiece of a recent “60 Minutes” expose.Will “60 Minutes” do an expose on Obama and the fraud in “Dreams…”?

The birthers are still at it.
* there is NO legal authority (statutes, supreme court holdings) to support the claim that a person born in the US to only one citizen is not natural-born.). The constitution’s wording itself is ambiguous, and therefore would require some authority to define it as birthers claim it to mean.
* no court, no Congress would ever create a constitutional crisis by adopting a new definition of “natural born citizen” and then seek to unseat a POTUS.
* For the HI long-form BC to be a fake, a large number of public officials would have to be participating in a conspiracy. Fat chance.
* John McCain was born on foreign soil (the Panama Canal Zone LEASED from Panama). The Senate passed a non-binding resolution saying he was nonetheless eligible to run for POTUS.
So, even though McCain was born a dual national (a citizen of Panama as well as the USA), you hear very very few claims that he AND Barack are “really” ineligible.
* birthers’ reasoning would necessarily mean that millions of native-born Americans whose parents were not citizens at the time of their birth would be ineligible to be the POTUS. Sorry, but in “a nation of immigrants” that’s not gonna fly.
* does anyone on the right really want Nikki Haley, Bobby Jindall and Marco Rubio, just for starters, to be ineligible? Are you frackin’ serious??!!

On the Adobe Illustrator claim:
But a leading software expert says there’s no doubt about its authenticity, and he dismisses claims of fraud as flat-out wrong.
The doubters have latched onto the idea that Adobe Illustrator — the premier program for computer graphic artists — “reveals” evidence of document manipulation in the Obama birth certificate. They note Illustrator reveals nine separate layers of the document, and claim it’s “proof” the file has been altered.
But that’s not so, says Jean-Claude Tremblay, a leading software trainer and Adobe-certified expert, who has years of experience working with and teaching Adobe Illustrator.
“You should not be so suspicious about this,” Tremblay told FoxNews.com, dismissing the allegations.

He said the layers cited by doubters are evidence of the use of common, off-the-shelf scanning software — not evidence of a forgery. “I have seen a lot of illustrator documents that come from photos and contain those kind of clippings—and it looks exactly like this,” he said.
Tremblay explained that the scanner optical character recognition (OCR) software attempts to translate characters or words in a photograph into text. He said the layers cited by the doubters shows that software at work – and nothing more.

Maybe physically, maybe. But Obama still is a heartless, gutless, non- traditional Christian,quasi Moslem who got lucky becomming not only the first black President of the United States, but also the first with a Marxist philosphy. The success of his term will be from the backs of Poor & the Middle Class, included in his HealthCare Scam &
Financial erosion of the US economy.

Obama’s Birth Registrar was never found. His name is–no joke:
“U K L Lee”
or
“U Ku Le Lee” if you zoom in
My violin can’t sign signatures
More proof that the birth documents are fake.
PS..Obama is not a natural born citizen since he father was not a citizen (need to be President) and Obama is using false SSNs

Posted by: JJGH | May 18, 2011, 3:42 pm 3:42 pm

Why does Obama have both a LONG form Birth Cert AND Cert of Live birth? There is no reason to have both. One is for US Born citizens and the other for non-Citizens. Why both?
I don’t have both. Do you have both? Does anyone who is actually a US born citizen have both?
For the life of me, I can’t think of one reason he would have both, unless one of them is fake.
Can any of you lefty loons tell me that? No. You don’t actually care about the rule of law, which is why you are foolish. You don’t understand that the other options always lead to tyranny.

The Obama presidency today ramped up its attacks on critics, offering online an opportunity for constituents to buy a T-shirt or a coffee mug with an image of the Obama “Certificate of Live Birth” released several weeks ago as well as a portrait of Obama, stamped “Made in America.”
In an email dispatched from BarackObama.com this morning, Julianna Smoot proclaims, “You’ll like this one.”
“Let me introduce you to Jerome Corsi,” she explains. “This week he released a new book that the publisher says will be a bestseller ‘of historic proportions.’ The title is ‘Where’s the Birth Certificate?’ – yes, really.
“Corsi’s work is a greatest-hits reel of delusions, ranging from 9/11 conspiracies to claiming that there is an infinite supply of oil in the Earth’s core. In 2008, he published a book about Barack Obama claiming, among other things, that he (a) is a secret Muslim; (b) is secretly anti-military; (c) secretly dealt drugs; and (d) secretly supported terrorist actions when he was eight years old. So many secrets.”
The email then explains, “The only thing we can do is laugh at it – and make sure as many other people as possible are in on the joke.”

Obama was born of an American mother and a African father in Hawaii. That makes him a natural born American even if Obama Sr. was not an American.

For many including myself, the issue here is not whether Obama was born in the US, but why didn’t reveal his long form birth certificate during the ’08 campaign? The answer is of course, “birthers” are convenient idiots, ready made for ridicule which is a common political tactic. It works, witness the posting drones – from both sides of the issue – and the money and votes this demagoguery reaps. Birther coffee cup anyone?
The real trove is the college transcripts, dissertations, foundation records etc. that are still under lock and key at Occidental, Columbia, Harvard and the University of Chicago protected by a phalanx of attorneys and academic allies.

Funny how Mr. Obama claims to have more important matters to focus on -
(with three wars, U-6 unemployment over 15%, spiraling budget deficits, anemic GDP growth, the housing market in freefall, and healthcare reform increasingly unpopular the more he spins it, that claim has merit)
- he keeps bringing up the birth certificate. It’s almost as if bin Laden and an alligator-stocked moat weren’t enough to distract voters from recognizing his failed policies.
If in doubt, play the race card… I thought he was supposed to be an agent for “Change”?

Mojoron….Obama’s father needs to be a US citizen for Obama to be a natural born citizen. Plus his mother was too young to transfer any type of citizenship to her son since she was only 18 (she fooled around with the black guy Obama Sr. when she was only 17). Therefore Obama is not eligible to be President. Worse yet, Obama is using false SSNs, the main one from a deceased person in CT. SSNs are not recycled as described on the Social Security Website. Misuse of them is a felony.

Posted by: JJGH | May 18, 2011, 3:55 pm 3:55 pm

What Obama calls “Fight the Smears” is itself an insulting smear tactic.
The idea here is to combine all legitimate criticism of his scattershot foreign policy, runaway spending, blatant cronyism, and divisive rhetoric under the heading of the most ludicrous claim against his presidency, and then deride that.
So – Obama has increased the deficit by as much in two years as Bush did in eight? “Birther!”
Obama’s policy towards Israel, Libya, and Syria is hopelessly incoherent? “Birther!”
Obama’s claims for his Recovery and Reinvestment Act proved widely divergent with reality? “Birther!”
Obama’s vaunted “bipartisanship” amounts to ridiculing every idea the Right produces, and then claiming they’re simply obstructionists? “Birther!”
Thank God we elected him to elevate our political discourse…

Mr. Tapper.
Someone stated that six other Presidents were born of parents who were from another country. If you look at these six Presidents:
Jefferson did not meet the requirement of being a “natural born Citizen.” but was “grandfathered” with many other early Presidents because they were a “citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution.”
Except for Chester Arthur, The other “immigrant” parents of Presidents were naturalized before giving birth to their children/future Presidents.
Chester Arthur’s father had not been naturalized before Chester Arthur was born and that fact was concealed from the public, otherwise,Chester Arthur would have been removed from the Presidency.
Obama’s father was NEVER naturalized. Obama was born with split allegiances and does not meet the “Natural Born” clause in the U.S. Constitution…

Since mostly Democrats are buying these, it’s pretty safe to say they are using welfare money to do it with. Isn’t this an example of Obama illegally soliciting taxpayer dollars for his campaign fund? Most everyone who receives more in federal aid than they actually pay in all their taxes combined are Democrats correct? Should parasites even be allowed to vote? “Property ownership and tax requirements eliminated by 1850″ I strongly agree with most voting amendments and agree with the rest with the exception of the 1850 phasing out of the landowner requirement. It was the beginning of the end….our failure as a nation dates back to this crucial error.

Obama pardoned Bush from a war crimes investigation that should have gone through. The Iraq War is a ruse and turned into a murder and intimidation war against a populace that did not want us there when they realized we were just installing another US puppet, and were there to stay.

Kenya was not a country until 12 December 1963. Before that, part of it was a British protectorate and the other part the Colonly of Kenya. But the entirety of it was called, “British East Africa” until 1963.
Barack Obama Sr. traveled on a British passport to the U.S.
It is will little doubt that the British passport Barack Obama Sr. carried, would have stated “British East Africa” – and not Kenya, or the Colony of Kenya or the Protectorate of Kenya.
His identification when he was named the father of Barack Obama Jr., (now President of the United States) would have also state that he was a British subject from “British East Africa” and not Kenya or simply Africa.
On the face of it, this raises serious questions.
Immigration micorfiche is probably available, if someone can determine the date of Barack Obama’s entry to Hawaii. The records for his application for admission to any colleges (incl. Harvard) would probably also indicate this same information.
I think people are not looking in the right place – that’s all.

The electronic birth certificate he produced was laughable. How many people showed how it was assembled using Adobe Illustrator? More than a few! Even if you don’t believe them, all the President produced was an electronic version of the paper version. Sorry, but e-versions of paper documents are worthless. For example, “Here’s an electronic photo of my painting by Picasso. It’s real, as you can see from the electronic photo. So wire me $50,000 today and I’ll hold the painting for you. You can pick up the painting and pay me the rest next week.” An e-photo means nothing. Let’s have the paper version of the birth certificate turned over to experts for their objective and independent review. IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AND THE PEOPLE AND NEWS MEDIA ARE TOO STUPID TO INSIST ON IT.

“Only native-born U.S. citizens (or those born abroad, but only to parents who were both citizens of the U.S.) may be president of the United States”. From {“About.com”}
I would assume that the stipulation included in the part in parentheses, (“but only to parents who were both citizens of the U.S.”), would also logically apply to the part NOT in parentheses. After all…..Why would the stipulation that two of the parents had to be citizens of the U.S. be ONLY for persons born outside of the U.S. borders and not for persons born WITHIN the U.S. borders? That renders the birth certificate moot except to prove what it already has. Barry isn’t legally qualified to be president anyway!

The problem with the new birth certificate is that Kenya was not a country until several years after his birth. Therefore, how could Kenya be listed as the country of his father when it did not exist at that time!!!!!

Trump was an administration plant to stir up controversy and divert attention from failing policies. Trump is a pawn of NBC. NBC does the bidding of the administration. Trump sited, as a reason not to run, a new lucrative deal with…. wait for it….. wait for it…. You guessed it. NBC.

You know the truth is made by the winner. (Not the Truthful)
With enough people on the dole, the winner is the democrats… Have fun running the country into the ground.
The fraud on the Birth certificate is so thick, it is unbelievable. Even the new release has 12 digital layers of data on an original? Yet we are called crazy by bringing the facts to the discussion…
The lies and corruption are so deep and the truth is so far from reality with our elected officials.
Dear Lord, please have mercy on all of us… keep us in your sight as there are few among us who know the truth and are persecuted for standing in truth.
Please burn the liars, thief s, and false witnesses in your lake of fire to be removed from the sight of the almighty.
God Bless the USA. We need your help Lord. Lies and Falsehoods are beyond anyones repair, and we are sinking into the abyss of immorality. Watch over your flock and save the ones who are in your truth. Amen.

I see this blog is censoring comments again. The long form reveals that Obama’s “Dreams…” narrative is as much a sham as was Mortenson’s and Frye’s.Is “60 Minutes” going to do an expose on the made up parts of “Dreams…”? I doubt it-even though they don’t need a “Lucy Ramirez” to furnish the evidence.

Seems like I recall the passport records for Obama’s mother were declared “lost” a couple of years ago. Those would have included young Barry’s information on there as well. I’ve heard Dr. Corsi on the radio, he certainly seems to have a boat load of facts at his disposal. Too many things just don’t add up for the birth certificate to be legit. I’m still not convinced the certificate we’ve seen is the real deal.

What is SO FUNNY about whether or not the President is eligible under the U.S. Constitution, and why should anyone who cares ABOUT FOLLOWING THE CONSTITUTION be labeled a fool?

What’s the point? Birthers will never be convinced, no matter what. The imperfections on the certificate show proof of Photoshopping? If it were perfect, you’d say it was TOO perfect and proof of photoshopping.

Dear Distressed, Apparently the MSM does a poll on everything this POTUS says or does, and if over 60% of the voters agree with his actions there is no need to do any further investigation of his story. That senario is what kept clinton from getting impeached and many other crooks from harms way. The NEW journalism has NOTHING to do with facts and EVERYTHING to do with spin, hence the fall of the printed media. Don’t worry though as long as we have the internet we can ask these questions: I.E. How many years does it take Obama to make a phoney school record, we know it takes approx 2years for a birth certificate, do we really have the time we need to find out who this guy is? Why does he think that the average voter will buy his “shtick” without kicking the tires first???

The pdf version released by the White House is such a brazen fake that the only reason to put out such shoddy work is to drive skeptics nuts while the MSM acts as the Obama attack dogs by making skeptics look stupid for ever questioning his highness.

The media is a willing accomplice to this fraud.
They did not challenge the timing of the BC being dropped the day before ST-6 launches an assault on OBL’s compound?
Did they think it was strictly coincidence to divert the sheep? Drop a forged BC on the table then say “Look over there, OBL is dead!!” and the flock of cameras turns.
Now we have other things to report… like Newt bashing a Republican or Arnold’s illegitimate kid..nothing to see on the birth certificate.
Assume its valid, and move on.
Do not question authority.

Question: Since Obama released a photocopy of the BC and there is nothing left to hide…”Why not allow an independent observer or two direct access to the Birth Certificate on file?”
All the state of Hawaii needs is a signed authorization.

If the anti-Birther t-shirts are the best thing that the Obama team can come up with to try to obfuscate his lack of accomplishments the past two years then they are in big, big trouble in 2012. It doesn’t matter if Obama was born on Pluto, his policies still suck and he will go down in history as the worst 1-term president in history.

Trump demanded to see the birth certificate. Then when he got to see it, he said nothing — even though a number of people (who know Adobe Illustrator) showed how it was falsely concocted. I couldn’t help but wonder, who silenced Trump??? I thought he’d be all over what experts called a fake, sloppy concoction of a long-form Hawaiian birth certificate that even lacked a state seal. The mob knows how to intimidate jury members by threatening to hurt their loved ones. I can only wonder which tactic was used to make Trump go silent and basically disappear concerning the birther issue that he was aggressively pursuing through the mainstream media. By the way, where’s the mainstream media on Trump’s inexplicable disappearance? Missing in action, I guess.

Since the US Constitution requires all Presidents be natural Born US Citizens, no serious candidate for President should be shy about showing this crucial piece of elibility during the campaign. But in 2008, Obama refused to do so, and reportedly spent good money then and later to prevent anyone from seeing it. Why? Did he “not agree” with the constitution and chose to ignore it? Or did he deliberately play a joke which lasted until Donald Trump essentially made him show us the long form? And why did the media support his behavior then?
When Obama with great fanfare showed the long form a few days back as if had played a joke on his detractors, why didn’t the media point out that Obama himself had caused the birth certificate issue by his actions? And why didn’t the ask him why he did it?
But we know the answer. The Pied Piper of The White House has some indentured servants: the members of the Main Stream Media.
Thank you Donald Trump, for doing the job two weeks ago the media and the Republican Party leadership didn’t do three yers ago. You made Obama show where he was born.

What does the constitution require for someone to become President? It requires that they be a “Natural Born Citizen”. Contrary to what the media would have you believe that does NOT mean that you were born in the USA. For instance is someone born to immigrants in Chicago eligible to be President? Asolutely not, You must be born to both Parents who are citizens in the USA or to one Parent who is a citizen and 21 years old when you were born. So is Barack Hussein Obama (unh-unh-unh) a “Natural Born Citizen”? If he isn’t has he ever been the President of the USA? Who will be the first black President?

the release of the birth certificate right before a book was to be published about it.. how interesting. Now none of us get to read the book to see the shocking revelations because we got to see the birth certificate, in mint condition, scanned on the internet. How joyous that was, I could never replicate such a thing, nor would I ever think that a truthful and transparent leader like Obama would do that either.
I would never accuse ABC of being a White House propaganda machine either. Corporate news only tells the truth and we should never question them on that.

It’s funny that all the comments about Obama being this or that still believe that “If only we had a republican president” none of this BS would be happening. Please, no matter who you is elected to the office of president nothing really changes, at least the truly important issues. It’s time to change our political system and fast! I’m sure many would agree. Continuing to be manipulated into convenient divided camps only helps these crooks from both parties including the faux tea party. My best suggestion at the moment is to start a movement to get candidates for the Senate or congress etc. to sign a legally binding contract without those they represent, and hopefully putting pressure on those who wont sign such a document to considered unworthy of election. I’d add more but this doesn’t seem like the time or place with all the bad mouthing and ill will spewing about…

Posted by: Greg | May 18, 2011, 4:59 pm 4:59 pm

The birthers focused on the wrong question, since the newspaper announcement of Obama’s birth can’t be refuted. They SHOULD have been asking merely what’s on the long-form BC that Obama doesn’t want exposed. So they overreached.
However, I say the CORRECT way to have handled showing the long-form birth certificate would have been to send news reporters to the State of Hawaii to examine the actual ledger where the original certificate is recorded and then allow them to make copies for distribution. Obama produced his own copy, which proves nothing, any bright 12-year-old with Photoshop skills could modify it. I’m not saying that’s what happened, just saying that ANY doubt about the authenticity of the long form copy could have been avoided by having the original record examined directly by the media. But of course, Obama wants the skeptics to keep at it for his own political advantage, and his way of producing the “evidence” will ensure that happens. Either that or the copy really IS fake to hide something embarrassing. I’m convinced Obama’s crew is capable of just about anything after seeing them in operation the last couple years. But at this point, we’ve got bigger fish to fry, with high unemployment, debt coming out of our butts, no border control, 5-bucks for gas, high food prices, etc… so I don’t dwell on this birth certificate stuff.

I understand Corsi will produce the three or more birth certificates that were cobbled together to create Obama’s birth certificate. This should get extremely uncomfortable as the days go on. Maybe we’ll get another distracting “wag the dog” event in the form of… Well, use your imagination. I think this “birth certificate” controversy will be the President’s undoing, even if we go to war with Pakistan as a distraction. I can see it now. We’ll be told that we can’t let Pakistan have their nukes because they hid bin Laden and are therefore al Qaeda/Taliban supporters. Sounds crazy, but our country has gone crazy since Bush Jr. ran it into the dust and is getting crazier by the day as Obama is doing everything Bush Jr. did to us — only faster and harder.

Leaving the direct issues aside, am I the only one that finds the tone of the article itself an offensive example of media bias? Now the left will no doubt try to stigmatize me as a ‘birther’ but to characterize the issue (repeatedly) as a ‘birther lie’ rather than a serious and a long unanswered ‘(birther if you must) question’ says less about the skeptical and volumes about the authors. If there is controversy over the matter, it is mostly of the presidents own making, creating the stink of obstruction that gave credence to the notion, and whose incremental and minimalist responses continues to leave lingering doubts about the ‘untruth’ of the allegations.

Obama’s birth certificate is a fraud.
Zero did NOT produce a BC.. he produced an electronic facsimile of a copy of an alleged BC
With no borders,
no seal,
missing language at the bottom from HI that certifies information is from the original record,
no note of amendment on line 23 he was adopted as Indonesian,
no note of 2006 amendment HI Dept of Health indirectly confirmed,

Will the media bother to ask why the Nordyke twin sisters, who where born in the same hospital “after” Obama and had their long form birth certificates filed three days “after” Obama’s, were assigned registration file numbers by the State Of Hawaii that are “lower” than Obama’s? Had they been filed on the same day this could be explained as a batch of the weeks records being assigned numbers randomly as they are picked from a pile, but three days later? Numbers don’t lie! The media gave us this clown and will do anything to protect their investment.

Obama’s father precluded his being a “natural born citizen” meaning born on U.S. soil of U.S. citizen parents; he is further ineligible by dual citizenship for being born a British citizen pursuant to the British Nationality Act of 1948, as his father was a British citizen of colonial Kenya.[1]
NBC encompasses citizenship and requires being born of citizen parents. The Art 2, Sec 1, exemption from being a NBC “or a citizen of the United States …” wasn’t needed if NBC means a citizen.
A NBC also means more than excluding naturalized citizenship. Congressional eligibility already does this by setting 7 and 9 “years a citizen” for House and Senate. With no allowance of years set for POTUS, foreigners would be eligible at naturalization. This incongruity logically proves naturalized citizens aren’t eligible.
Each authoritative definition of a NBC stipulates citizen parents (plural). First Congress, Ses II, Chp 3, Sec I, 104, 1790: “the children of citizens.” Bingham, House floor, 1866: “of parents not owing allegiance.” Supreme Court, Minor v. Happersett, 1874: “of parents who were its citizens.” Senate Res 511, 2008: “born to American citizens.”
Otherwise a foreigner and a naturalized citizen’s child, if born on U.S. soil but raised abroad until age 21, at 35 is eligible for POTUS. Equally untenable, is Obama setting a precedent of dual citizens being eligible.

Here’s the truth…99% of the people don’t know if he was born in the U.S. or not. They form opinions on feelings, not facts. What we do know is that Obama has spent hundreds of thousands of $$ to hide the information. He’s blocked efforts to release the information, and he’s kept quiet (until recently) on a subject that is so ridiculously easy to resolve, that it raises suspicion. The question isn’t “Was Obama born in the U.S.: or “Is that a real birth certificate?” The question is “why did Obama make such great effort, and wait over 2 years to provide information he now says is simple and obvious? If it is real and he was born here, what was his motive to create a controversy that has impacted his Presidency, and divided the country?

It is most interesting I was in Hawai’i last year to obtain a certified copy of my son’s Long Form BC given my son was born at Tripler Army Medical Center in 1984 AND the Hawai’i statute states EXPLICITLY that, as the father, I have a right to a certified copy of such documents. Well long story short I talked to the Hawai’i Dept of Health archivist who stated to me in no uncertain terms that I had NO right to obtain such certified copy and my certified mail to then Director of Health went unanswered. Does this have anything to do with Obama?
I think so.

Have liberals been taking stupid pills? The question isn’t whether Mr. Obama is an American citizen or not it’s whether he’s a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. Despite faux leftist “scholarship”, a natural born citizen under natural law (something our founding fathers were intimately familiar with and embraced, btw) had to have TWO parents with the same citizenship of the land in which the child is born. All other citizenships are STATUTORY CITIZENSHIPS, that is it took an act of Congress to clarify the citizenship status of a person. Even John McCain was technically unqualified to be president unless there is a legal understanding that the American hospital in the Panama territory in which he was born was American soil … i.e. like the U.S. Embassies around the world.
In the end we need a clear Supreme Court ruling on this issue given how Mr. Obama continues muddying the waters to his political advantage. BTW, a “native born American” does not automatically mean one is a “natural born citizen”. All “natural born citizens” are native born but not all native born Americans are “natural born citizens.” Liberals need to have some intellectual integrity and admit that statutory citizenships aren’t the same as constitutional “natural born” citizenships – that is until SCOTUS rules to the contrary. I can live with that.

His “short form” birth certificate may not look like much but that’s what they give you in Hawaii.

His showing his long-form birth certificate was good enough to convince me. I don’t know why he waited so long, but that’s his business. His college records would be interesting to see, but I don’t think they are that critical. I know I’ll probably be cursed here for being a moderate, but I think that for the good of the country both Obama and his detractors need to chill out and find something on which they can hold constructive dialogue.

Consider this:
The below supports the contention that a birth certificate showing Obama to be a “native born” citizen is a shell game for the real issue that he can’t be a “natural born” citizen with a Kenyan father. Although there may be a perfectly legitimate explanation for the below, it does seem to stretch credibility to the limit that anyone capable of counterfeiting a birth cert at THIS game level could be so stupid as to make the below mistakes — UNintentionally?!?
——————————————————————————–
First of all, the birth certificate that the White House released lists Obama’s birth as August 4, 1961. It also lists Barack Hussein Obama as his father. No big deal, right? At the time of Obama’s birth, it also shows that his father is aged 25 years old, and that Obama’s father was born in “Kenya, East Africa”. This wouldn’t seem like anything of concern, except the fact that Kenya did not even exist until 1963, two whole years after Obama’s birth, and 27 years after his father’s birth. How could have Obama’s father have been born in a country that did not yet exist? Up and until Kenya was formed in 1963, it was known as the “British East Africa Protectorate”.
On the birth certificate released by the White House, the listed place of birth is “Kapi’olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital”. This cannot be, because the hospital(s) in question in 1961 were called “KauiKeolani Children’s Hospital” and “Kapi’olani Maternity Home”, respectively. The name did not change to Kapi’olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital until 1978, when these two hospitals merged. How can this particular name of the hospital be on a birth certificate dated 1961 if this name had not yet been applied to it until 1978?

Obama is using his Alinsky Methods he taught, in “ridiculing those who don’t believe him on this”. He thinks if he riducles, it will shut people up-it won’t. Here’s the Alinsky Rule #5:
#5 “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”
You can see what Obama is attempting to
do by making fun of the situation and using HIS Bible, Alinsky’s-”Rules For Radicals”
You can go to a site by typing in:

Once again, a so-called “journalist” does not appear to know the definition of the word “lie.” A lie a an utterance the person speaking it knows to be untrue. Thus “Birther lie” is a misnomer. Birthers believed to their core that Obama was not born in the United States. The President had a great deal of responsibility himself in allowing this apparently mistaken belief to grow. All the same, Birthers believed he was not born here. Therefore, in their utterances of this belief, they may have been mistaken, but they most definitely were not lying.

I am a American citizen who was once married to a man from Malaysia, had two children born in that country, had to apply through the American embassy and after I went through the process of sending in my US Passport, my American birth certificate, and marriage license and my new born children’s Malaysian birth certificates the US embassy finally sent me a certificate called a birth abroad certificate. It has a long form white paper that goes with it that states where the children were born and about the father’s foreign status and even though Malaysia doesn’t have dual nationality the US embassy listed them as dual- nationals. Wouldn’t Obama’s parents had to do the same thing in the 1960′s? Obama being born in Kenya would have had to have a registration with the US Embassy as a birth abroad, wouldn’t it? Maybe someone should look at it from that angle.

This latest tactic is nothing but a continued variation of Barack Hussein Obama’s fraudulent “presidency.”
No amount of hype on the Usurper-in-Chief’s part, and his worshiping supporters, will change the reality that Obama does not meet the Constitutional criterion of being a “natural born citizen.”
Patriotic Americans who love and embrace the Constitution will not go away. Obama would do well to finally, [on his part] end this disgusting charade. And, if he does not, may Congress open up a formal investigation and reject this awful cancer upon the American people and our US Constitution……

The only reason Obama released the phony long-form when he did was to try and stop 13 states from approving legislation this spring and summer requiring eligibility vetting before candidates’ names can appear on ballots. For some states, the long-form will suffice…unless the people of the state raise the validity of the document. Other states are demanding more comprehensive requirements for evidence (like legal investigation and ruling on his father not being a U.S. citizen).
Team Obama is flapping around like a dying fish on a beach and will until the summer of 2012 when a legal tsunami hits them in several states. Dems will ride everything on one candidate and have all this come down on them…and unfortunately on America. But Obama doesn’t care about America, or Hawaii, or Illinois, or Kenya.

For some states, the long-form will suffice…unless the people of the state raise the validity of the document. Other states are demanding more comprehensive requirements for evidence (like legal investigation and ruling on his father not being a U.S. citizen, his use of a foreign passport as an adult, any foreign student status or financial aid as one). He also probably released it to delay and put into brief tailspins some eligibility court cases against him that were gaining significant legal standing.
Obama surely didn’t want to show any of his cards, let alone lay a high one down on the table. This was a necessary step of desperate temporary survival. A stupid move. Now the issue of his father’s foreign citizenship will be center stage, an issue which cannot conveniently be hidden deep in Hawaii’s halls of darkness. It demands judicial ruling under full public, national scrutiny. That alone could keep him off 2012 ballots in some states.
Team Obama is flapping around like a dying fish on a beach, until early next year when a legal tsunami hits them in several states. Dems will ride everything on one candidate and have all this come down on them…and unfortunately on America.

ABC News errs, I believe, when it has the “audacity” to paint Dr. Corsi as “fact-challenged” while declaring President Obama’s documentation as “correct.”
Had Mr. Obama produced documents THREE YEARS AGO on first request, without cajoling from dozens of lawsuits, basic assumptions of evidence should still apply.
The delay, followed by the production of an electronic copy of a document, produces what I believe is a rebutable argument that Mr. Obama is who he says he is, and was born when and where he says he was.
The other challenges to his eligibility to the office of President remain unanswered and are perhaps unanswerable.
The puppy-like loyalty of mainstream media in the United States is partially responsible for Obama’s staggering deficits of truth, fact, and position. The President simply has not been asked tough questions which would necessarily escalate in the face of stonewalling and lies. Why should he — if there is little agitation to get him to produce the basic information we have to produce anytime we apply for any private-sector job?
Congress maintained the odious Office of Independent Counsel for 20 years — it investigated George H.W. Bush Sr for 10 years and proved nothing; it investigated Bill Clinton for 8 years and got 15 convictions, and Clinton agreed to give up his law license for 5 years.
OIC is gone and it will never investigate Barack Obama, his friends and cronies, his associations and ties to crooked deals and dealmakers.
Therefore, Obama and his pals act in ways the Clintons never could, knowing they won’t be challenged in the media, can’t be removed by impeachment, that they have silenced religious opposition and the Justice Department is corrupt and complacent.
Congratulations, America, (at least for another 17 months) it’s a king.

Paul Thompson – His father didn’t run for Office. Barack H. Obama, jr. was born in Honolulu, Hawaii which at the time of his birth was an American city. That makes him a Natural Born American… Though he could have claimed dual citizenship until 22 yrs. of age at which age Kenya demands you make a choice or the offer is withdrawn. Obama made no application to become a citizen of Kenya, hence, he is only a citizen of this Country in which he was born. Go pick on McCain who was born in the Panama Canal on soil (military) claimed by the USA.

(2) I am definitely not a birther, but the President’s “certificate of live birth” long form caught me by surprise with what it was missing: Length and Weight of the child.
Go ahead, go look at your birth certificate.
Just some thoughts.

The problem is not the birth certificate. Its that his father was a British citizen at BHO,s birth. And for those of you that believe that the 14th Amendment made him a Natural Born Citizen, you are wrong, the 14th Amendment makes citizens not natural born citizens. Just being born here does not make you a Natural Born Citizen. Avail yourself of the information available on this wonderful electronic library. Read the source material not the supposed expert interpreted opinion. BTW even our courts misinterpret the laws and evidence as evidenced by the number of people released for a wrongful conviction every year.

Q. Will someone else produce a SHIRT SHOWING THREE CERTIFICATES – his, a before certificate & an after certificate to compare numbers and the stamp?

Birth certificate should be stamped “Pirated copy” “Voided”

The mainstream media works for the Democrats, not for the American people. They don’t care about investigating and reporting the truth. They care about propagandizing to get their guys reelected. They hide all the devastating facts about Obama’s anti-liberty lies and actions, while smearing his opponents at every turn.
As for the circumstances of his birth, who says Obama was born in Kenya? Members of his family, the Kenyan ambassador to the US, members of the Kenyan parliament, and numerous African newspapers. Private investigators report Obama has numerous social security numbers, forged documents, and likely attended college as a foreign student. Jack Cashill has presented tons of evidence that terrorist and communist Bill Ayers wrote Obama’s first book, a theory backed up by a pro-Obama biographer (and confirmed a few times by Ayers, by the way). Does the media investigate and present us with interviews and documents that prove or disprove these reports? No, they try to smear and silence Americans who ask, “Hey, what’s going on here with this guy?”

For the record: Donald Trump first released is hospital-issued birth certificate, the original source document, and then his “official” state-issued birth certificate. Obama has thus far failed to release his “original source document, his hospital-issued birth certificate. Indeed, no hospital to date has even acknowledged Obama’s birth, just think about that. No hospital has seen fit to acknowledge it took part in a U.S. president’s birth.

Jerome Corsi is just a normal guy…. he doubts the moon landing. He doubts Obama’s birth certificate.
Why is everybody making fun of him?
The President should COMMEND him for putting his theories into book form! Most crazy people just drool and thrash around on the sidewalk. A small percentage post on this forum. And only a handful get picked to be Fox News Analysts, Republican Presidential Candidates, and Published Authors.
I think it is horrendous that the President won’t celebrate the accomplishments of paranoid schizophrenics! They represent 23% of the electorate, afterall! Some even serve in Congress!

Beyond the consensus of experts that the BC is a fake, the fact remains his birth father was a Kenyan, whereby, he does not meet the Constitutional criteria to be POTUS. He did, however, meet the criteria for Senator. The POTUS criteria is clear, his father had an allegiance to the UK, of which Kenya was a possession (and did not gain it’s independence until 1963,) whereby Obama was precluded from eligibility to be POTUS.

I have personally spoken with two completely different people who were co-incidentally in Kenya after the so-called voter fraud ridden election when that lie from the pit was elected. I asked them if there were any plaques or monuments in Kenya that paid tribute to the liar in the whitehouse. Their reply was that in numerous places there are such objects that pay homage to their Kenyan born son who is now president of the U.S. But one cannot take pictures of those objects.They’ll confiscate the cameras.

Since Obama is NOT eligible to be POTUS, and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have already claimed, ‘they saw the proof that he is eligible’, we can sue all three for their actions. We can sue Obama for being a FAUX president and REMOVE him from the White House, and we can sue Pelosi and Reid for ‘lying about falsified documents’.Anyone know a good lawyer who will take the case?????

Is there ANYONE on the democrat side that finds it more than just a little strange that Hawaii is the ONLY state that thinks a ‘Certificate of Live Birth’ is a valid document?????

As a conservative, I welcome the reek of desperation here. They’re desperate to both keep the “birther” issue alive and collect campaign funding from an unenthused base. Nothing stirs up that false sense of Democrat superiority than the “birther” issue. Why do you think it took him so long to release the birth certificate? What a joke!

It doesn’t matter where Obama was born, he is not a “natural born” citizen, as is required by the US Constitution for someone to qualify to be president. If he is born in Hawaii as he claims, and his father was a citizen of Kenya and a British subject, as we know, then Obama is “native born” but not natural born. To be natural born BOTH parents of the president must be US Citizens. There have been cases in the past where people were not permitted to run because one or both parents was not a US Citizen. People don’t understand the difference between native born and natural born. Our founding fathers purposely made these strict rules to prevent anyone being president who might hold loyalties to ANY other nation other than the US. If one parent is not a citizen and has not taken the oath of citizenship of the US, you might be half loyal to that parent’s country of citizenship, regardless of where you live or were born.

Read the minutes from the 110th Congress, 2nd Session, April, 2008: “S. RES.____ Recognizing that John Sidney McCain, III, is a natural born citizen________ Mrs. MCCaskill (For herself and Mr. Leahy, Mr. Obama, Mr. Coburn, Mrs. Clinton, and Mr. Webb) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to Committee. ————-RESOLUTION ————– Recognizing that John Sidney McCain, III is a natural born citizen. (Please read this Resolution in full, the pertinent paragraphs are the 7th & 8th ones, quoted here): “Whereas John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American CITIZENS (capitalized for my emphasis on the plural usage of “citizens”) on an American military base in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936; be it Resolved, That John Sidney McCain, III, is a “natural born citizen” under Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States.”
Two parents MUST be American citizens to have a child qualify as a natural born citizen. In addition, his mother lost her citizenship since she NEVER became a naturalized citizen after her return to the United States – the lack of these records prove this. There are also other legal reasons why Obama is NOT ELIGIBLE to be President.
Read the law, and then read :”OBAMA – INELIGIBLE TO SERVE” & “THE OBAMA BIRTH CERTIFICATE QUESTION” for answers.

The only reason Obama released the phony long-form when he did was to try and stop 13 states from approving legislation this spring and summer requiring eligibility vetting before candidates’ names can appear on ballots. For some states, the long-form will suffice…unless the people of the state raise the validity of the document. Other states are demanding more comprehensive requirements for evidence (like legal investigation and ruling on his father not being a U.S. citizen, his use of a foreign passport as an adult, any foreign student status or financial aid as one). He also probably released it to delay and put into brief tailspins some eligibility court cases against him that were gaining significant legal standing.
Obama surely didn’t want to show any of his cards, let alone lay a high one down on the table. This was a necessary step of desperate temporary survival. A stupid move. Now the issue of his father’s foreign citizenship will be center stage, an issue which cannot conveniently be hidden deep in Hawaii’s halls of darkness. It demands judicial ruling under full public, national scrutiny. That alone could keep him off 2012 ballots in some states.
Team Obama is flapping around like a dying fish on a beach, until early next year when a legal tsunami hits them in several states. Dems will ride everything on one candidate and have all this come down on them…and unfortunately on America. But Obama doesn’t care about America, or Hawaii, or Illinois, or Kenya, or anyone forced or freely covering up for him. He’s selfish and will implode.

I remember an America when men were men and the mark of such was that each one was a true patriot in the sense….he stood out because he responsibly thought things out and did not rely upon the news media to prompt his decisions. Oh yeah, they read the papers, for a truth but had the common sense to inquire beyond that narrow margin of information and addressed issues in public meeting houses and spoke to friends, relatives, neighbors and even, if necessary, visited the seats of government to speak personally with their elected officials. Now this might seem quite a large order – but those guys thought their personal freedoms were worth every honest effort they could put forth to discover the truth for themselves… they were no malcontents, they were simply doing the necessary things to discover what was really going on behind the scenes – and you know what, they demanded character references of their elected officials. The very idea that someone in their day could usurp the Presidency, the Senate was a virtual improbability because the facts obtained in their inquiry vetted those they would stand behind as an electee for their chosen party. “Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation can long endure.” I throw these historic words in to remind us of the bitter consequences of ignoring a more recent history of public governmental defamation of character of the U.S. Presidency by allowing a dark horse to even enter the race for his states U.S. Senate and later (ditto) the U.S. Presidential election. I served in the Viet Nam war (3 tours) and I traveled the world over from the time I was 5 years old and learned to read people from all walks of life…. and I find myself wondering these days, whatever happened to those iron men of character who made intelligent decisions outside the influence of the media and huge bucks, with honor they forged a mighty country where “One Nation Under God” came to mean something…. We are now transitioning to “One nation under Obama (and his Muslim Brotherhood cronies); I want to hide my head beneath the sand – but that would profit no one except those Jihad fellows who are Hell-bent on taking what those iron men of the past gave to me and to all patriotic Americans.
