This week, newscasters reported that al Qaeda’s #2 terrorist disparaged the election of Barack Obama, and hurled racial slurs at Obama himself. “The report has not been confirmed by the State Department,” they all said, but they reported it anyway.
Last week, Fox News reporter Carl Cameron told viewers that three “anonymous” insiders of Sen. McCain’s campaign said that Sarah Palin was, in essence, a diva and a dunce. He – and dozens of others who picked up the story on other channels – never identified, or even verified, the sources of the quotes, but they reported them anyway.
Contrast these shabby examples of “journalism” with the legions of identifiable, verifiable and credible sources who for months have been investigating the disturbing allegation that Barack Obama is ineligible for the presidency because he has failed to meet one of the three requirements that the U.S. Constitution mandates, specifically that he provide proof of his “natural born” U.S. citizenship.
What follows is a partial list of people and organizations that have challenged Obama’s eligibility. Further on I will comment on how egregious the media’s failure to cover this story has been. And last, I will speculate on the reason for the cover-up of this full-blown scandal.

One of this guy’s sources is WingNutDaily. Nuff said.
And you wonder why Bambi has surrounded himself by the Clinton goons, the best people to be around when you want to cover up the dirt!
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S UPBRINGING
A good column until it gets into that Flying Saucer type paranoia at the end. That really undermines the entire article fatally, I think.
She should cut that stuff out and stick with what is verifiable.
Very interesting, uselss none the less....
I don’t see any such reference. Can you provide a cite?
You are a real lib-turd , arent you Stevie? Look at the list, and review the evidence. Metrosexual Etrodonaire Obama was born overseas; theres scant evidence to the contrary (short form b.c. doesent make his case in the least)
Maybe but by that time all of the damage will be done. He doesn't have a certified birth certificate. He's brought out this cabinet BS to push hs agenda forward as if the SC wouldn't dare rule against him. So we will see if we have a constitution or is this a banana republic.
“According to WorldNetDaily, blogger Jeff Schreiber “
6th paragraph..
But that’s only one of many sources sited.
Say it is "discovered" in 2009 fact true that he was born in Kenya? What then? Does ANYONE seriously think either he would a) resign or b) be removed by Congress or the people? More than likely, Congress would embark on a Constitutional amendment that would be disastrous, and would possibly lead to Arnold running for the presidency in 2012.
Ponder that for a moment.
My political predictions haven't been too good, but I think this one is a lock: the birth certificate stuff will come to absolutely nothing.
It's past time the moderators booted a brain-dead liberal trolls like yourself.
You are a real lib-turd , arent you Stevie?
Bingo! A dyed-in-the-wool godless evolutionist!
WorldnetDaily has reported that steve-b is from Virgina. Clearly he must be from somewhere else.
This stuff is taking on a Clintonesque "Mena" tone that was incredibly destructive to the GOP in the 1990s and only strengthened Clinton.
Personally I couldn’t care less what the popular kids will think. We have a right to know if the man is constitutionally eligible to hold office. Worrying about whether it hurts the party is a sentiment that should have died with the soviet union.
FWIW
It’s in the full article, along with a blogger quoted but that doesn’t mean Obama isn’t hiding something.
Which he clearly is.
say there.....
did you go and read the entire article?
If not Please do...a long read but worth it. I’ve printed it up and will keep alert.
very interesting to say the least...
every American should READ this..scary as he!!, at least to me it is...
Sigh. Has nothing to do with “popularity.” You’re still in the 1990s. This is NOT going to be an issue, will never be an issue, and for ANYONE to waste time on this is detracting from Obama’s real, and serious, flaws.
Don’t kid yourself. People on this board and other blogs are desperate to “prove” that Obama isn’t a citizen as if that would change ANYTHING. It will not. The American public gets what it wants, and right now they want Obama.
If a guy cheats and wins, do you award him a victory? I’m not convinced the American people say yes regardless what they want.
It has become obvious that there is an intentional cover up of this issue. They report on way more mundane things in the news and they are going out of their way to avoid reporting on more than a handful of court cases regarding the COLB.
The fact that this is going before the SUPREME COURT is reason enough to report, they aren’t. Not even Rush, Hannity (who reports on the whisperings of a gnat) and others.
THIS IS INTENTIONAL PEOPLE.
So if I can find an example of something you said, that was also said by someone whom you don’t like, does that mean you’ll stop listening to yourself?
Just like the MSM covered the story of John Edwards’ mistress.
The National Enquirer will have to break this story.
“…I think this one is a lock: the birth certificate stuff will come to absolutely nothing.”
With respect, that is true only if good men do nothing. Meanwhile, to some of us, your statement sounds like “throw-in-the-towel” flavored koolaid.
Think it possible O and Hillary, both rabid Marxists, listen to the same consultants (handlers)?
Think it relevant O would pull an ostensibly political dumb stunt like appointing a number of ex-Clinton insiders?

STAND UP AMERICA! The presidential election is not over!
We voted for electors, not the individual candidates. The electors vote on or after December 15, 2009. The results are then presented to a joint session of Congress and objections may be heard on January 8, 2009. See the letter on my About page hand-delivered to the local offices of my Republican Senators and Representatives. I urge you to take similar action, even if it is simply faxing a one page letter to Washington, D.C.
Steve trolls the COLB threads and does the ‘Nuff said’ bit on all of them.
If I’m not mistaken, he’s done a “mother was a citizen, he is a citizen, nuff said” on another thread showing complete incompetance and understanding of the Constitutional requirements for POTUS.
So because you don’t think it’s a big deal, we should just let it go?
Ok, everyone. LS thinks it’s no big deal and that the President having to prove his is a natural born citizen is a waste of time.
Move along here. Nothing to see. Constitution, Smontitution.
Yeah! If I’m not mistaken, isn’t ‘Wing Nut’ a slang deragatory term for a right wing person?

Please then explain how being born abroad changes anything, even if it is true? From my reading of the law as above, it sure looks to me like he’d be a “natural born citizen” either way.
If the framers meant “born on US soil” then they could easily have said that. But they merely said you had to be born a citizen. This is of course to distinguish from “naturalized” citizens that acquire their citizenship sometime later in life. Even if his mother had traveled to Africa, he was still born a citizen.
If I’m wrong about this please point it out.
Here’s a good petition against Obama:

Could it be that shortly after the president's reelection, he and major government officials received highly credible evidence from America’s ruthless Islamist enemies that they had a number of devastating (probably nuclear suitcase) weapons – set up and ready to be activated in as many as six-to-10 of our major cities – unless he (the president) tacked left and played nice for the following two years?
Uh... yeah... this author doesn't resort to "sinister suspicions or conspiracy theories" here, no sirree Bob!
Sheesh.
“Birth Abroad to One Citizen and One Alien Parent in Wedlock: ... For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen are required for physical presence in the U.S. to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.”
I agree. I wish she hadn’t nutted at the end.
When I kept hearing pre-election “If this was anything, Hillary would have exposed this”, I was curious about that too.
Now that I see he is filling his cabinet up with ex-Clintonites and Hillary herself is getting the primo position with her own staff...
Well, that answers that, at least to my satisfaction.
Of course not. RULES are for other people, not Alinsky-trained left wing social engineers. How stupid of us even to bring it up.
Yes, I see. It comes down to a few months shy of 5 years after the age of 14. It’s curious though how the law treats unmarried women so differently, with a much lighter standard. They could argue that since the father was already married at the time, then the mother’s marriage was void and she should get that standard instead?
Oh well...
Dear Autumnraine (what a pleasant screen name!)
There is the possibility Hillary is biding her time playing the loyal, dedicated Dem. She would not want to be cast as the evil actor that disqualified O. Certainly, Hillary and Bubba - with access to international “support” - had a Plan B from the outset.
It seems possible we have been tag-teamed.

It’s possible that nothing will be done, but that is no reason to shrug and shut up and ignore the facts.
Obama not only has refused to produce proof of citizenship, but he has conspired to put up a forged COLB on the internet and defend it against anyone who questions it.
This amounts to a criminal conspiracy, and if it’s not a felony level crime, it surely will rise to that level when he falsely takes his oath of office in January and swears to defend the country and the Constitution.
Clinton was never impeached or jailed, either, although he certainly should have been. Still, he suffered considerable political damage and was crippled for the remainder of his term in office. Should we have ignored clinton’s numerous crimes, just because he escaped just punishment for them?
“This is NOT going to be an issue, will never be an issue, and for ANYONE to waste time on this is detracting from Obama’s real, and serious, flaws.
Apparently it was important enough for you to waste time here trying to get people to forget about it. It’s not working.”
You know, I remember before the election that supposed Freepers were on boards saying “This is a stupid thing to worry about. Let’s beat Obama on the ISSUES!” Um, yeah, that worked out real well. And now that he “won”, the man who hasn’t proven he is even eligible is getting ready to swagger into the White House.
Ok, the difference is that his FATHER WAS NOT A US CITIZEN.
4. December 24, 1952 to November 13, 1986
If, at the time of your birth, both your parents were U.S. citizens and at least one had a prior residence in the United States, you automatically acquired U.S. citizenship with no conditions for retaining it.
If only one parent was a U.S. citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least ten years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16. There are no conditions placed on retaining this type of citizenship. If your one U.S. citizen parent is your father and you were born outside of marriage, the same rules apply if your father legally legitimated you before your 21st birthday and you were unmarried at the time. If legitimation occurred after November 14, 1986, your father must have established paternity prior to your 18th birthday, either by acknowledgment or by court order, and must have stated in writing that he would support you financially until your 18th birthday.
So you think that natural born doesn’t mean born here? So someone born somewhere else and gets naturalized later can be President?
Barack’s father was not legally married, he was tribal married in Kenya. It was not a British state recognized marraige.
“Dear Autumnraine (what a pleasant screen name!)”
Thank you! That is a combination of two of my daughter’s names. I also have a Rose.
A natural born citizen means a citizen from birth. Being born in the US is one way to meet this requirement, but there are others (such as being born abroad to an American citizen or citizens).
So someone born somewhere else and gets naturalized later can be President?
No, because they were not a citizen from birth.
