Agree. Perhaps we should keep it alive in every response to posts as well. I'll go first.
“And oh yes, WHERE’S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?”
Way to go, Faith. Second isn't bad either, is it?
I like it. Keep the question going until we get an answer.
“And oh yes, WHERE’S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?”
I’d be glad to be an juror. They can ship me in from IL.

Who’da thunk that Grover Cleveland, on two non-consecutive occasions (at least), didn’t produce the paper. Huh!
Just like Global Warming, I thought the discussion
on Obama’s Eligibility was over ... < /sarc>
Makes you wonder if there are OTHER examples
of collusion between the Left and the MSM ...
Naw ... surely the MSM vetted the Natural Born
Citizen thing better than they did Global Warming, right?!
Vote them out???? THROW them out!! Plenty of good reasons. Corruption is oozing from every pore of these scumbags. Not any of them are ‘fit’ to serve. And Obama is not even eligible to serve. This is a complete disgrace. America’s Government is headed by a Muslim and surrounded by a bunch of Muslim sympathizers. Nauseating and dangerous. CO
I doubt it has ever been done before. WHY would anyone not be all to happy to PROVE that they are qualified to hold the Office of POTUS? There is only one reason. It’s so obvious that it is making the United States look rediculously stunned. This somehow got through and now NOBODY knows what to do???? CO
Nobody knows if he graduated or even attended Harvard. That’s ANOTHER thing he REFUSES to produce - his education records. The man is a complete BLANK SLATE. But where he’s coming from and who he supports is more than obvious anyway. He’s NO American!! His loyalties lie elsewhere I’m afraid. CO
Isn’t it telling that both his daughters have Russian names (Sasha and Malia) and supposedly they have non disclosed Muslim middle names...I firmly believe he’s a Commie, Marxist Muslim and with doubtful American citizenship to boot...and, of course, where’s the birth certificate?
Look at all the comments these two have made and add that to the idiot on O’Reilly who said government would never allow them to go free.
O’Reilly said something like what will happen if by chance they do get off. What then? The terror faux attorney said gvmt will never let them go free.
WTH is that? Why try them then? How can you have a full blown trial, they get off, and still hold them? Isn’t that communism?
Holder is having a hard time finding prosecutor’s because they have been fighting for terrorists rights in the past. No doubt Holder’s law firm is out completely or will Obama somehow find a pass for the terrorists law firm? 100 million plus for this trial and Holder wants some of that action.
I think even Holder said to congress we don’t have to let them go. We can hold them.
Are they setting us up for American citizens against Obama to be tried in the same way? The ones brought up on charges for Obama hate crimes bill be tried in a similar fashion so he can put them in camps?
I despise these people. God help me!
Holder and the 0 are just getting to a boiling point, mainly because they have been subverted from their explicit marching orders (losing the 0 lympics, and on and on, as far back as possible rioting in the streets of an American anarchy last fall). It follows , their threat card had to be played right now. Our dear leaders will insist they get their way, or else. The popularity of the 0bomber bombing and this is the solution? They will raise the ante, coming somewhere from left field. Sarah Palin will be aghast, as well as 95% of regular Americans, at the utter stupidity of the play.
The winning hand in this situation, of course, will be determined when the cards speak for themselves.
Most of the 0’s cards have been turned up already. Time to take the missus to Europe for dinner!
Funny, I thought that was the list of presidents whose birth facts were not in question (except for maybe Arthur). Could it be that the people on that list were well-known to their communities, and the facts of their birth were not in dispute?

The country that introduced the births, marriages and deaths registration was England. I stand corrected but in the English speaking world, that country was the first- others copied.
This act took effect in 1837. It was the church authorities that had the baptismal registers, which of course lead to some information, but hard to access. The United States did not have birth certificates- again I stand to be corrected, until 1900. Even then it was not uniform.
A bit of a long screed by me, my hobby is genealogy. Again, the census of the United States following the practice in 1841 in England was pretty well done, and comprehensive in the USA by 1851. I note the registration of one Chester Arthur, born Fairfield, Vermont, his mother born in Vermont and father born in Ireland.
The census could have been a useful tool, because it would have noted a future president's birth, when likely it was genuine information. The more this goes on, the more fascinating and indeed frustrating it becomes. IMHO the public has a right to know.
“List of Presidents who never produced their birth certificates (long or short form):”
So what? Was there ever any doubt on who George Washington is??
We are dealing with a man who was spent most of his pre-adult life outside the US.
He has suspiciously been registered under a foreign name and attended a US university under that name perhaps as a foreign student.
Under the circumstances, yes it is appropriate to ask for certainty that the man was a native citizen of this country.
the reason our fathers placed this as law of the land was to ensure a higher degree of certainty existed in those elected to the highest position in the land that the allegiance of that person was to this country, not elsewhere.
None who has ever occupied that office has evoked the doubt that this allegiance is there. There is clear indication we need proof of loyalty, regardless of the list you make.
Certainly William Arthur, the father of Chester Arthur was foreign born. He was born 1795/6 in Ireland. He came to live close by Vermont in Quebec, Canada. He moved to Vermont and married a Vermont lady.
It is argued that since Chester never faced election as President, it was likely the census tabulation was not widely known. The fact of a foreign born parent may have slipped through the cracks. In any case William Arthur became an American citizen in 1843, when Chester was 14 years old. An operative lawyer called Hines, claimed Arthur was born in Canada; this after President Garfield was assassinated. Vice-President Arthur took his place. Arthur was not nominated by his party to stand at the next election. The question then may have died, regarding a foreign born parent. Hines never gained any credibility.
If it comes down to two American citizens, as parents giving the term "natural born" to their offspring, of course, that would deny legitimacy to President Obama.
Malia is an Hawaiian name, according to info I was told by a freeper yesterday who has a granddaughter named Malia — I’d thought that Malia was the feminine version of Maliq/Malik, which name Malcolm X took. Also, I was told that Malia’s grandmother’s middle name is also MALIA.
>>>> "Malia is the Hawaiian Mary. It is also her other grandmother's middle name." <<<<
