Obama mouthpiece laughs off birth certificate request
WND ^ | May 27, 2009 | WorldNetDaily

Posted on 05/27/2009 3:42:45 PM PDT by RobinMasters

WASHINGTON – Somebody finally asked Barack Obama's White House press secretary about the president's elusive birth certificate.

When asked by WND White House correspondent Les Kinsolving why the president, who has pledged transparency in his administration, would not release his long-form birth certificate to establish his constitutional eligibility for office, spokesman Robert Gibbs guffawed in unison with members of the Washington press corps about the concerns of 400,000 petitioners who have demanded it.

Dear FRiends,

In light of what is transpiring in our nation’s capitol, more than ever, we need to ensure that places like Free Republic and other like-minded places continue to speak the plain truth. Newspapers are dying and the current administration will either bail them out or allow them to fail. If they are bailed out, they will be even more beholding to the coming socialist agenda. If they are allowed to fail, the powers that be will force the remaining electronic media to fill the void. Local coverage only. No national syndicated news/talk. The “Fairness Doctrine”, like it or not.

After that, the internet. Free Republic. And others.

We need to get this FReepathon over and right now. We need to show that we are serious and will continue forward and thrive, not just survive.

If you can spare a couple of bucks, that would be great...If not, God bless you and please stop by the FReepathon thread and give it a bump.

We’re all in this together.

Did Les Kinsolving have his press credentials yanked and get frog marched to the White House gate?

Down with the commie usurper!

Let’s see his moslem birth certificate from kenya, or saudi arabia, or wherever the hell he’s from!

How do we get one of those “WHERE’S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE” billboards posted in D.C. ?

What’s the closest billboard to the White House (aka Mecca)?

I was shocked to see this issue being raised by the press. Gibbs can try to sweep it under the rug but apparently he can’t make it go away. Fabulous!

I mean, really. Who cares about the basic constitutional requirements for the presidency? And asking about it at a press conference is so declasse.

Lester better watch his back and sleep with one eye open.

Gibbs decides to lie through his teeth and then end the press conference.

"Lester, this question in many ways continues to astound me. The state of Hawaii provided a copy with the seal of the president's birth. I know there are apparently at least 400,000 people – (laughter) – that continue to doubt the existence of and the certification by the state of Hawaii of the president's birth there, but it's on the Internet because we put it on the Internet for each of those 400,000 to download. I certainly hope by the fourth year of our administration that we'll have dealt with this burgeoning birth controversy."

Gibbs accepts "we" put it on the internet?

Obama’s contempt for America is evident in everything he does. All Americans who are not Kool Aid-drinking members of the lockstep Obama personality cult should expect to be both shunned and made the objects of mockery.

Just the way things are now.

“Complying with the law gets a guffaw.”

Yeah, and it shouldn’t. Why would anyone be surprised that some citizens of this country would ask for proof of his citizenship and why should they be laughed at? Afterall, his nationality does have issues, considering he is half Kenyan. It is not as though he grew up in the US, he lived in other countries most of his life and with that, there are naturally a multitude of issues.

There is no doubt that one of the few last steps for total Communist control by King Obama will be to bail out newspapers that support his communists agenda. Also the network stations will be bailed our as well. His thirst for constant appearance is an indication that this man is real sick.

Yes it does. Especially when that pompous gibbs was clowning around, mouthing, who is this guy, acting like he was reeling in a fish, while the reporter was asking. He tried to, and did for the press corp, make a total mockery out of the reporter.

Just wondering, because I have no idea, could the fact that Gibbs addressed this conroversy in a news confrence and stated that the State of Hawaii issued the BC with a seal and “that” particular BC is on the internet for all to see, be an opening for some legal action?

Hell, there is not even some decent, middle of the road republican out there daring to challenge Obama’s eligibility for the position of POTUS. That’s why I have stopped supporting the GOP. It’s just a waste of my money.

BOR said last week he gets tons of emails about this each day. Beck nodded in agreement. Neither one of them took it seriously.

Everyone knows, no one cares. It is going nowhere unless a smoking gun is found or we can figure out a different approach

The billboard needs revision. Instead of simply "Where's the birth certificate?" it should read:

President Obama: Where is your real birth certificate?

Maybe in 30 years we could find out if he was truely a native born citizen due to the census. We should have a law when the Republicans get back in power, any government official who lied about their status would get his or her pension void. So when president Obama is 76, we’d stop paying his senate and presidential pension. Since the census records of 1970 will be available in 2040.

What was it that Ghandi said? “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”

I guess we are at stage 2. We’ve done the ignore thing. Now they are laughing. I guess the lawyers have been fighting. Maybe next we win?

At the very least, it may hold the damage to one term. Lord knows nobody would take President Biden seriously - not even Democrats.

We need to get the White House defining ‘natural born citizen.’

He was born a dual citizen which by itself disqualifies him. Obama owns the birth certificate so he owns the issue. He can allow all this hype build up and then say ‘here’ and it’s over. The focus should move to defining natural born citizenship.
