Get Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh or one single Republican Senator or Congressman to embrace your cause, and I will take your case seriously.

Otherwise, it is just kind of weird.

I jumped off the bandwagon after seeing a birth notice for Obama printed in 1961 in the Honolulu newspaper.

Was that a conspiracy too?

Otherwise, it is just kind of weird.

There is nothing weird expecting Constitutional requirements to become President be upheld. It is weird that the President elect has failed to resolve what is a very simple matter by producing a valid birth certificate and that you are more annoyed with those who demand he prove his eligibility per the Constitution than the President elect!

I could get a birth notice for Barack Obama printed in a Honolulu newspaper today. It would take a phone call and a few dollars.

Rush did bring the issue of the birth certificate out on his show.

It is an important constitutional issue and one that is simple to rectify. Show the original certificate and close the case.

Oh - come on - do some research on this. A birth notice is not a birth certificate. Nor is a COLB a birth certificate.

"I jumped off the bandwagon after seeing a birth notice for Obama printed in 1961 in the Honolulu newspaper."

Insofar as the newspaper, you don't sound old enough to remember seeing a notice in 1961 in the Honolulu newspaper. And to remember an obscure birth of a child to whom you're not related goes to a phenominal memory.

Oh, but you indicated you saw a notice that was printed in 1961. Gee, thats 47 years ago...must be some good ink to have not faded after that long. After you clipped it out of the paper you must have kept it in the family Bible or something, where we all keep near-and-dear keepsakes.

Such foresight to have known then that this obscure child would someday be President and that you needed to keep that article to verify his eligibility. I hope you cut out the article along with the date, or it's invalid.

Finally, remember, "Dewey beats Truman".


Was that a conspiracy too?"

Ah ha...the old "conspiracy" question meant to imply that that your opponent has nothing other than an imagined argument. Well, maybe, but there are an awful lot of people would like this question about the COB answered. If...IF...Mr. Arrogant-the-laws-don't-apply-to-me comes foward with a legal COB, and not the contrived one rolling around cyberspace, we'll all shut up about it, I'm sure. But the fact that YOU saw a claim that it was in a 47 year old newspaper is not going to shut this down or quell the demand to see the document - and that demand is growing daily, or haven't you noticed?

Besides, no one is claiming a "conspiracy" exists...right now we're just saying a "cover up" exists; later, we might say "fraud" exists - depending on the compliance of obama and his minions.

If you came through customs and they ask to SEE your passport, is that a "conspiracy"? If you go to a liquor store and they ask to SEE your ID, is that a conspiracy? Or, do you just show them something you cooked up in Photoshop and tell them to "like it or lump it"?

We just want to see the OFFICIAL birth certificate, something most of us have to do to enroll in grammar school or get a passport. Obama enrolled in grammar school, he also went overseas...he had to have a birth certificate for both those things...or did he - in all of his ethereal glory, just refuse to produce one?

I think qualifying for the job of President would warrant such scrutiny, especially since it's required by the Constitution...or is that a conspiracy too?

If there is nothing to hide, then there is no reason not to show it.

It is completely natural and legal for anyone's eligibility to be questioned on anything that matters. For instance, the size engine you have in a NASCAR race, your grade point average to get into college, or, even - yes - your eligibility to be on this forum.

If I hear one more thing about the damn birth announcement I will scream. Let me ask you, how does the newspaper get announcements? Do you think they stand outside the delivery room, wait for the baby to be born, get the info and then rush to print it? It is the parents responsibility to have the birth announcement put in the paper. My husband who was born in 1958, had a birth announcement printed in 3 different newspapers in 3 different states. Last I checked, you can’t use your birth announcement from the local paper as proof of citizenship.

A birth announcement in a newspaper doesn't mean squat. Anyone can put one in, just like an obit. If a person is born or dies any where in the world, an announcement can be put in any newspaper any where else in the world.

[nclaurel]

I could have a birth notice put in a paper-we did for a grandson born while our son was in the service and the baby was born away from hometown. But are you telling me you actually saw a 1961 newspaper or did you see the blurry, almost unreadable item online? Printshop is great!

Assuming the notice was legitimate, what is on a certficiate that would make Obama fight to the SC to prevent it from being seen???

[jacquej]

nonsense!

Our youngest daughter was born in Canada, and our hometown newspaper printed an short announcement of her birth.

Just as they printed an announcement when our oldest daughter died.
