Fact: It is a simple and inexpensive matter to prove one’s natural born citizenship with the best evidence available.
Fact: Obama has gone to considerable expense and effort ( tax paid and private) to prevent the release of common documents that ordinary Americans **routinely** provide for many reasons.
Fact: A real, American, natural born citizen president would be **HONORED** to promptly prove with the best evidence that he was a natural born citizen.
Fact: NO real, American, natural born citizen president would go so far as to allow a decorated officer be court martialed.
Fact: Obama’s behavior is unbelievable! And...Rational citizens are correct in questioning his eligibility to be president.
Since all this is soooooooo straight forward, why doesn’t Obama just settle the matter?

The computerized print out abstract of Obama’s birth record from the state of Hawaii contains all the information that is required to establish natural born citizen status.
Barack Obama is the only president for whom I know the exact time of his birth: 7:24 p.m. The fact that some people don’t trust that information is just an “oh well” situation. 73 courts have had lawsuits challenging Obama’s eligibility including 8 attempts at the US Supreme Court and not one court, judge or justice has ruled that Obama is ineligible or that he needs to produce another document other than a certified copy of a Hawaii COLB.
In my humble opinion, the only way to end this issue is via a subpoena for Obama’s birth records that Obama himself can have absolutely nothing to do with. Even then, there will be people who will immediately say that the Hawaii Department of Health has altered the records to cover for Obama and that they are being paid off to do it. There are already people saying that.
Once again, I quote the Director of the Hawaii Department of Health in her testimony taken under oath before the Hawaii state Senate’s Committee on the Judiciary and Government Operations: “For more than a year, the Department of Health has continued to receive approximately 50 e-mail requests a month seeking access to President Barack Obama’s birth certificate IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS POSTED A COPY OF THE CERTIFICATE ON HIS FORMER CAMPAIGN WEBSITE.”
Once again, I quote the Republican Governor of Hawai’i: “You know, during the campaign of 2008, I was actually in the mainland campaigning for Senator McCain. This issue kept coming up so much in the campaign, and again I think it’s one of those issues that is simply a distraction from the more critical issues that are facing the country. AND SO I HAD MY HEALTH DIRECTOR, WHO IS A PHYSICIAN BY BACKGROUND, GO PERSONALLY VIEW THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE IN THE BIRTH RECORDS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, and we issued a news release at that time saying that the president WAS IN FACT BORN AT KAPI’OLANI HOSPITAL IN HONOLULU, HAWAI’I. And that’s just a fact. And yet people continue to call up and e-mail and want to make it an issue. And I think it’s again, a horrible distraction for the country by those people who continue this. IT’S BEEN ESTABLISHED. HE WAS BORN HERE.”—Governor Linda Lingle
If anybody wants to see Obama’s birth records other than a C.O.L.B. (Certification of Live Birth), they need to go to a judge, get a subpoena and get the original document released without Obama’s permission or influence.
My guess is that Obama will use Lieutenant Colonel Lakin for his own political purposes. I’m betting that Lakin will be convicted of disobeying direct orders from his superior officers for movement to Afghanistan. His appeals will fail and then Obama will pardon him and perhaps invite him over to the White House for a beer and photo op in the Rose Garden.
“The Court observes that the President defeated seven opponents in a grueling campaign for his party’s nomination that lasted more than eighteen months and cost those opponents well over $300 million. Then the President faced a formidible opponent in the general election who received $84 million to conduct his general election campaign against the President.
It would appear that ample opportunity existed for discovery of evidence that would support any contention that the President was not eligible for the office that he sought.
Furthermore the Congress is apparently satisfied that the President is qualified to serve. Congress has not initiated impeachment proceedings, and in fact, the House of Representatives in a broad bipartisan manner has rejected the suggestion that the President is not eligible for office. See H.R. Res. 593, 111th Cong. (2009)(commemorating, by a vote of 378-0, the 50th anniversary of Hawai’i’s statehood and stating “the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, was born in Hawai’i on August 4, 1961).
A spurious claim questioning the President’s constitutional legitimacy may be protected by the First Amendment, but a Court’s placement of its imprimatur upon a claim that is so lacking in factual support that it is frivolous would undoubtedly be a disservice to the public interest.”—U.S. Federal District Court Judge for the Middle District of Georgia, Clay R. Land—September 16, 2009
