Holiday for Obama birth?
WND ^ | January 06, 2010 | Joseph Farah

Posted on 01/06/2010 12:56:29 PM PST by wintertime

The state of Hawaii should get its act together.

On the one hand, its health department refuses to release any information about the birth of Barack Obama Aug. 4, 1961 – no hospital, no attending physicians, no eyewitnesses, no long-form birth certificate.

On the other hand, the president of the state Senate, Colleen Hanabusa, wants to enshrine the date as an official holiday.

Another legislator, Republican Gene Ward, even wants to create a new park at the location of what he claims was Obama's original home.

Since the presidential campaign last year, Hawaii state officials have treated the release and confirmation of information about Obama's birth like it was a matter of national security.

But, now, with Obama's visit to Hawaii, officials seem to be positioning themselves for political gain by selectively using information about the birth.

For instance, the Kapi'olani Medical Center and the White House have steadfastly refused to confirm Obama was born there. Yet, both the hospital and Obama have, when it has benefited them, claimed it as the president's birthplace.

Isn't it curious that the Hawaii legislature is considering a resolution that would designate the rental apartment building on Beretania Street where Obama's grandparents lived on the National Register of Historic Places, but not the hospital at which he was allegedly born?

Why does the hospital officially refuse, to this day, to confirm or deny Obama was born there? If you were on the board of a hospital where such a historic birth took place, can you think of any reason why you would not want that kind of publicity? Why has the hospital quietly claimed Obama's birth for local fundraising purposes but adamantly refused to settle all the controversy about the president's birth with a simple, straightforward, unequivocal statement and the appropriate documentation to ...

Prove when it is then we will think (for a milli-second) about it. How do we know it is on August 4th????

Actually, all politicians should stand the test of time before this kind of honor is granted. What if we honored his birthday and then he was impeached for treason?

I suppose the alleged birth place of Obama will be touted as that of the first black president.

But how many black people do they have in Hawaii anyway?

It seems to me the smaller the number of black people that actually see the place, the greater the BS perpetrated on America in the first place.

I think we have a federal holiday already called President’s Day. Didn’t they combine Washington’s and Lincoln’s holidays together to honor the births of ALL presidents. Black or white, Obama now is just one of the guys.

Further on in the article Joseph Farah states that he will recommit his energies to Obama’s eligibility. I pleased to read that. WND ( despite its faults) has been the leader in keeping this important question alive.

Joseph Farah has bravely pursued the question when the conservative yappers were ( and continue to be) silent.

This is a proposal for a state holiday.

But...Gee! Without the birth certificate how can anyone know for certain when or where Obama was born.

I know. But who needs some measly state holiday when they have a terrific federal one!!! After all, according to Barack Obama’s policies, states no longer matter, except to pay unfunded mandates.

Let’s have statues of Barry on every corner!!

I have two statues of 0bama in my house.

My son has one outside at his lake place which has been renamed the Port-O-Bama.

No, the real reason for combining was to be able to add MLK day without actually increasing the number of Federal holidays.

They're all ranting on the other thread. Something on that thread hit their hot button. In fact, they haven't been this excited since the November election.

Thanks, stockpirate.

It's very strange that so many posters on a CONSERVATIVE website would find Certifigate to be an issue to hysterically fight against.

Makes ya really wonder WHY they find it so reprehensible, given that they are supposedly conservatives, posting on a CONSERVATIVE website.

VERY peculiar.

Thanks for the ping, LucyT.

At least I could read this thread in peace without wearing protective clothing.

How do you know it is in the year 1961?

Might be 1958 or 1959 pre-Statehood.

They arrived on FR to support Klintoon during MonicaGate, then stayed to support alBore. Now they’re permanent site pests.

The newer ones probably are paid operatives working out of the White House basement, and... get this, compensated with our tax dollars.
