The Barack Obama Nationality Question Heats Up

President Barack Obama's nationality scandal is gathering speed and refusing to go away now that Congress has got involved.

There have been rumbles of unrest around the world regarding Obama's nationality since the day he stated he would run for the presidency. Now, after more than a year as president of the USA, the rumbles have turned into a full on eruption.

The Barack Obama nationality scandal is refusing to burn itself out and seems to be gathering even more speed with Congressman Nathan Deal questioning the eligibility of Obama to hold the presidency. This is the first time in history that a serving president has been questioned about eligibility by a member of congress.

Over the last week the internet has been reporting this story with the blogosphere almost going into meltdown over the latest developments yet no mainstream media seem interested in the story that just won't go away for Obama.

Congressman Deal asked the president to prove that he is legally entitled to hold the presidency electronically on December 1st 2009. This communication was confirmed received by Obama's staff but has yet to be responded to.

Even though the president has already produced his short-form birth certificate in order to stop these questions, he has spent a large amount of taxpayers money (estimated to be more than two million dollars) ensuring that the long-form certificate is kept from the public - an action that has raised more than a few eyebrows along the way.

Throughout the campaign trail and longer, Obama made promises of the most transparent administration than any other so why the need to hide a simple birth certificate? Many claim that the whole situation is a complete waste of time and distracting but supporters of the question refuse to stop asking more and more questions.

It seems that the original question seems to have caused a stir not just in America but worldwide with thousands of people doing independent research in an attempt to get the facts out. The problem with independent research is that it is hard to verify where the alleged facts came from and when they are traced back it's not unusual to find that it stemmed from opinion.

With several birth certificates doing the rounds, many proven as hoaxes, the 'official' birth certificate in the Obama nationality scandal seems to prove that the president was in fact a British Subject at birth. On the website dedicated to protecting Obama from smears, Fight The Smears, there is an electronic copy of the birth certificate showing that Obama was born a British Subject. This in itself has been the cause for much speculation on how, why and when nationality was transferred.

Obama's nationality scandal doesn't seem to be going anywhere at the moment and even the Secret Service seem to be taking an interest in anyone questioning Obama's nationality with visits being made for security reasons. Reported last week at Mother Jones, more and more people who have raised issue are being visited by the Secret Service and being left feeling very intimidated.

No matter what side of the fence you sit on this scandal seems set to stay around for a long time to come.

Smoking gun huh? You mean like 7 screenshots available from African press saying “Kenyan-born Obama”. LOL

I’m not expecting O-bots or libeatards to really even care if Barry’s born abroad. The goal post will simply be moved to accommodate their relative worldviews.

Why hasn’t the video clip been released? Why didn’t we hear about it before?

We heard this logic in the beginning when rumblings of Barry’s eligibility brought the arguments: “If it was an issue the McCain camp or Hillary’s team would have dredged it up”. Yet since then we’ve learned quite a bit of info..even the Susan Blake video has been around for years. Zero’s eligiblity has turned into quite the issue. Not that Congressman Deal bringing it up to the White House this late in the game is a big deal right...

The majority of concerned patriots over the natural born citizenship issue (like that phrase;)— i don’t believe have even heard about this clip. Just rumors really, so it’s perplexing why Pidgeon brings it up. Yeah his credibility is on the line. But again, not all the clues that have been discovered about Barry and this issue has been made public either (for various reasons).

He got onto the Law Review on a writing competition, which ignores grades.

HALF of the Law Review was selected based solely on the writing competition, ignoring grades. The other half was selected in a different manner. One component was selected based 70% on writing and 30% on grades - HOWEVER, the Selection Committee had an affirmative action policy which permitted them to take race or physical handicap into consideration to "enhance the representativeness of the incoming class."

This comes from a letter written by the Harvard Law Review Editor to the Harvard Law Record, the independent newspaper of Harvard Law School. The letter mentions that no special affirmative action was given to women, based on the percentage of women on law review before the policy was put in place, but that an affirmative action program for women may be necessary because of the drop-off in women editors in the one year the letter was written (yep, not enough women in one year means it's time for affirmative action for women).

All writing and records were destroyed so that no member of the law review knew if he or she was selected on the basis of writing, grades, or affirmative action.

So, yeah, Barack Obama could have been selected for Harvard Law Review based on affirmative action and not on writing or grades.
