Let's say Obama is a Kenyan.
The United States Department of State is in charge of passports. They have a copy of Obama's birth certificate or other documents provided when he applied for his passport. If they were given "other" documents, when these rumors started, they would have immediately begun investigating. The Secretary is Condoleezza Rice. She came to the post under President Bush.
But let's say the Department of State decides for whatever reason that it isn't in their jurisdiction. So they turn it over to the FBI. The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation is Robert Swan Mueller. He came to the post under President Bush.
Or how about the CIA? The Director of Central Intelligence is Michael Hayden. He came to the post under President Bush.
So, assuming Obama is a Kenyan, can anyone honestly say that the GOP doesn't know?
Or do they know and they are sitting on it so he can be elected?
Because in the history of Washington, there has never been a leak of information, has there? Wrong. They leak information for political reasons all the time.
And before anyone says "MSM", this would require everyone from the top down everywhere to swear a vow of silence. Because if the Washington Post didn't want the story, the Washington Times would. And so on. This would be the story of the century. Hand it to Rush Limbaugh and let him read it on the air.
That would end the election right there on the spot and every election board in the country paused and demanded proof. The DNC would have to act. Why hasn't that happened?
Or is it that they don't know? US intelligence provides the information to run wars, negotiate with countries, they engage in all sorts of espionage. They keep the world safe for Humanity day in and day out.
But somehow the sum total of US Intelligence hasn't figured out whether Obama is a Kenyan or not, eight days before the election?
Unlikely to the point of laughable.
Or are they in cahoots with the Democrats to bring the Dems to power nation-wide?
Which is it?
I think there was another incident that involved Obama,Hillary and McCain’s records sometime this year.
Could it have been Sandy Burglar ?? and that’s not joking...
Well, Nobama himself evidently has yet to show that he is a Natural Born Citizen, which he has failed miserably, because he CANNOT!
If it's the taxpayer, then YES THEY DO work for "us". Our taxes pay their salaries.
There is none.
If the Administration or any of its appointees come out with the information, then it backfires onto the GOP candidate.
That's the simplest explanation I can come up with.
Also, you are assuming the Obama in the past traveled on a US Passport. Lets entertain the possibility for a moment that he traveled on an Indonesian one, he was after all once a citizen there.
Granted this is all total supposition. Most likely off from the truth.
Which brings up a sticky issue.... Why not just tell the truth? Show a certified Birth Certificate? Would that not be the simplest answer? He has posted up a forgery, and KNOWS it to be a forgery, a Crime. Why is THAT not being investigated? The FBI should be all over that, but for some reason this candidate seems to be above the law in all respects.
WHY?
Because they know they've got us to do their job, so they can focus on political activism... ;-)
(and a great job indeed everyone here is doing!)
Such records can be accessed when it is part of an official inquiry, but in the case of Mr. Obama, it was not, Mr. McCormack said.
Asked whether a political candidate or party is behind the incidents, Mr. McCormack said: “None at this point in time that we have determined.”
Mr. McCormack declined to provide the names of the employees or the contract, but he said they were hired by the contractor involved in producing, processing and approving passports.
“This is supposed to be a transaction between an individual and the government, and this is private information that we take a lot of steps to protect, and we take that responsibility seriously, not only for high profile individuals but for everybody,” he said.
Mr. McCormack said the incidents took place at consular affairs facilities in the Washington area.”
I wonder what they saw.
That link is close to being the most garbled stream of gibberish and nonsense I have ever read. Even zer0bumma’s platitudes and vagaries seem more polished and on track.
If the purpose is to illustrate absurdity by being absurd, then the writer of that garbage has certainly succeeded wildly.
A.A.C.
Ping! Ping! Ping!
>>>Schwarzenegger need only be a naturalized citizen
If he violated his status, then he wouldn’t be naturalized.
>>>but I think he came to the US as a young child before Castro came to power.
That is the problem. He told too many variations of this story.
But, all these questions could be solved with getting our hands on that eVerify tool the DHS now has.
Correct; but DHS said the candidates don’t work for us either.
Yes, now. Apparently before that he was in violation of his VISA. I posted the link, go read it.
That is the part of the discussion that went back and forth. The work for us meaning we don’t process hiring papers. The eVerify system is part of the hiring process.
