Politics: Asked last week why he's so unpopular in Texas, the only thing our president could say was "Republicans." Now that Texas has been lashed by tornadoes, his curious refusal to aid the state suggests the depth of his dislike. Two weeks ago, Texas Gov. Rick Perry pleaded with the president in a 16-page letter to declare a large number of Texas counties disaster areas after historic wildfires ravaged over a million acres across the state, burning 350 homes and killing three. A bad combination of hurricane rains, freezing weather and subsequent drought have made ideal conditions for the inferno...

History is going to show that in the 21st Century two men attempted to save the United States of America from a political coup d'état when the Supreme Court and the U.S. Congress refused too. Donald Trump and Professor John F. Gaski are two men who refused to allow group think or politically correct “suspension of disbelief” blind them from the truth. President Barry Hussein Soetoro is hiding evidence that possibly proves he is and has always been ineligible. Because the president is hiding his vital records, school records and political records that suggest that he always knew he was...

I write this follow up in response to reader mail regarding my column DC Knows that Obama is Ineligible for Office. Even many conservative columnists and pundits seem confused on the issue of natural born citizen, even though the matter is really quite clear. History answers the question of what “natural born citizen” means, and leaves NO wiggle room for debate or wishful agenda-driven interpretations. The term was first used by the British Royal family. The question at the time was how to keep the Royal bloodline intact when members of the Royal family traveled abroad extensively, often giving birth...

"U.S. Senator Barack Obama arrived in western Kenya on Saturday (August 26) to a welcome from thousands of cheering well-wishers, there to greet the rising political star of the America's Democratic Party as a native son. Obama flew into Kisumu, on the shores of Lake Victoria, on the way to his Kenyan father's village for the highly anticipated climax of his two-week African tour." Watch the video and hear him talk about himself at 36 seconds into the video:

Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations. The allegations that horrified fellow Republicans and caused his once-promising candidacy to implode in four short days have given Obama a clear lead as Republicans struggled to fetch an alternative.

Karl Rove is right. The fanaticism of the birther faction of the Republican Party is a curse that could sink the GOP. When polls show that barely 30 percent of all Republicans are convinced that President Obama is a natural born American, this is a level of sickness and weirdness in a major political party that could bring them electoral disaster. I have not been shy about occasionally criticizing President Obama when I believe it is called for, but: President Obama is as American as apple pie. He is as American as the nearest red, white and blue flag. He...

First, it must be stated unequivocally, that the confusion surrounding the “birther” controversy is completely contrived. This issue is not complicated… at all. Natural-born citizens are quite simply, and forever and for all time: citizens born in America of parents who are both citizens. Was that difficult? Whether or not Barack Obama was born in Hawaii could not matter less. The unassailable fact is that his father was a Kenyan. If it’s the intention of birthers to have Obama impeached, arguing about his post-partem nexus doesn’t help their efforts. If fact, arguing about that specious aspect of this issue probably...

11) The myth: Barack Obama wasn't born in the U.S. The facts: CNN has investigated these claims by "birthers" who say the nation's 44th president was not born in America and thus is not eligible to be president. The Obama team and the state of Hawaii released a certification of live birth that documents the president's birth on August 4, 1961, in Honolulu. This is not the original birth certificate but is a valid legal document. In Hawaii and other states, original birth certificates are not released when requested later. The certificate, officials say, allows a person born in Hawaii...

Wed Apr 20 2011 10:35:52 ET **Exclusive** This year's high stakes publishing project quietly went to press this week, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. After years of research and digging by the nation's top private investigators, here it comes: "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE? The Case that Barack Obama is not Eligible to be President." MORE The street date is a LONG month away, and author Jerome Corsi, the man who torpedoed John Kerry's presidential dreams with SWIFT BOAT, has gone underground and...

Pll to FReep:Should presidential candidates be required to show their birth certificate to get on a ballot? Yes, NO, Undecided

John King had Orly on and in addition to explaining the lack of a 1961 BC, Orly declared that Obama was fraudulently using a social security number and had used it to obtain his selective service card. She directed viewers to her webpage for details. An apparently shocked John King (not doing his homework or pretending not to know) exclaimed "Are you accusing the president of committing a felony?" Orly said that she was whereupon King said IIRC "This segment is over pending further investigation."

Thanks to Donald Trump—real-estate mogul, reality-TV star, and possible candidate for the Republican presidential nomination—a fringe conspiracy theory is now front and center in American politics: the claim that President Barack Obama might not be a natural-born American citizen. By focusing on Mr. Obama's birth certificate, Mr. Trump has garnered a lot of attention and some support. According to the latest CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey, among Republicans he is now tied with Mike Huckabee as the most popular prospective GOP presidential nominee. If responsible Republicans don't speak out immediately against Mr. Trump's gambit, it will do substantial damage both to...

The White House has not piped up about Donald Trump yet, but Vice President Joe Biden's daughter Ashley had some choice words for The Donald on her Facebook page Thursday night — saying the developer "makes me ill" and "bring it on!" The Facebook missive by Ashley Biden, who is in her late 20s, came after another day of Trump dominating cable news shows with talk about President Barack Obama's birth certificate. It's an online outburst that was unlikely to have been sanctioned by the White House. POLITICO viewed the posts on page, which is under the name Ashley Blazer,...

Don Wade and Roma will be relating the story at 7:20AM this morning about documents surfacing that show Barry Obama registered in college as a foreign student in order to get financial aid. Listen live at LISTEN LIVE LINK.

You’ll do well to familiarize yourself with the term “numeric nutrient criteria” and read up on it, as you’re about to hear it tossed around a lot more often. First, a little background on the genesis of this looming threat to Florida’s economy. Back in July of 2008, a coalition of environmental groups got the ball rolling by suing the EPA for their alleged failure to perform a “non-discretionary duty” to set “numeric nutrient criteria” for Florida’s waterways as required by the Clean Water Act. As a result of that litigation, the EPA entered into a consent decree with the...

President Obama used his first appearance at the annual Gridiron Club Dinner as POTUS to push home an already labored point — with a little help from The Boss. Taking the stage to give the evening's closing remarks, the president looked toward the live band at the back of the room and asked, "Can we go with the song we talked about?" "Born in the U.S.A," belted out Bruce Springsteen, drawing big laughs from the some 650 government officials, political figures, news executives and journalists in gathered at the Washington Renaissance hotel for the club's 126th anniversary.

ABC News' Tahman Bradley reports: President Obama just could not wait for spring weather to arrive. For the second week in a row, the most powerful man in the world stepped away from the White House to hit the golf course. Even as his administration and the U.S. military help Japan recover from a devastating earthquake, and as the world worries about Fukushima's nuclear reactor, the president could not resist taking advantage of the 48-degree weather in the Washington, D.C., area. The president left the White House Saturday afternoon for a short trip to Joint Andrews Base in Camp Springs,...

Like ordinary folks, presidents of the United States are known by the company they keep. It is a test of their character. Often it shapes their policies. And, in the case of Barack Obama, it may blight his legacy and our nation’s security interests. Until now, one of the most egregious examples of the problem were the “Friends of Bill” who played prominent roles in William Jefferson Clinton’s presidency. Those folks included a mix of unsavory political operatives, Chinese agents and convicted felons. [Their overnight stays in the Lincoln bedroom, legally challenged fundraising and eleventh-hour pardons raised serious questions not...

Bill Clinton showed up on Time Magazine covers often enough, but never disguised as another American president. But so far Time has presented us with a cover picture of Obama in FDR drag and another one of Reagan embracing Obama. Before the big O's term is done, we may well be treated to another cover of Obama playing basketball with Andrew Jackson on the cover of Newsweek or in bed in the Lincoln Bedroom with Abe Lincoln for Time's last print issue. Back in the 90's, Time's editors seemed to think that Clinton could stand on his own without dressing...

We have a hunch that this bit of news will get people talking, loudly and over one another: Last week, celebrity journalist Mike Evans, apparently a friend of Hawaii governor Neil Abercrombie, shared a story with KQRS morning radio show listeners about the search for Barack Obama’s birth certificate.Evans shares that, after a fruitless search through Hawaii hospitals, Abercrombie confided to him that (in Evans’ words) “there is no Barack Obama birth certificate in Hawaii, absolutely no proof at all that Obama was born in Hawaii.”
