Birthers everywhere will be celebrating. Donald Trump is already strutting like a peacock, claiming credit for its release.
With all the fanfare of a British Wedding, the media announced the release of what is purported to be the actual long-form Birth Certificate of Barack Obama.
So what’s wrong with this picture? As Glenn Beck would say, “Watch the OTHER Hand.” Beck is convinced Obama will once again use one significant event to draw attention away from something of even more significance. Perhaps. We will have to wait and see.
Beck could be right: Ben Benanke is scheduled to give the first press conference EVER by the Fed later today. What could possibly go wrong there? Well, the bonds market is closing early today… just prior to Benanke’s speech. Does that make you feel all warm and fuzzy?
Either way, the Birth Certificate issue SHOULD BE PUT TO REST ONCE AND FOR ALL…

It confirms that, at least on paper, BO’s daddy was a British subject, making BO a dual citizen - NOT NATURAL BORN.
Abstract in Merriam/Webster dictionary says:
1c - insufficiently factual
2 - expressing a quality apart from the original
4 - having only intrinsic form with little or no attempt at pictorial representation or narrative content.
Digital copy reprinted on clean paper. I’ll accept it.
Now the questions are:
Does paternal non-citizenship disqualify?
Why so long to release something so simple and non-controversial?
Why now?
If The Donald does not make a big stink about this, it means he's a stalking-horse for Hussein, meant to inoculate him from further birth certificate inquiries.
That’s modern wording of a socially acceptable form.
Sadly, your friend Leo is chasing his tale. He’s not discussing what IS, he’s discussing the way he thinks it should be.
If something isn’t the way you think it should be, then steps need to be taken to develop legislation to change that or, if necessary, modify the Constitution. But it’s always so much easier to simply file a lawsuit, especially if you’re a lawyer.
It doesn’t matter how many parents were born IN or OUTSIDE the United States. All you need to do in order to be considered a natural born citizen is to be Born In the US. Why on earth do you think all these pregnant Mexican women stream into the US during their 9th month? So their children can be born as American Citizens.
The hypathetical story about Bin Laden having a child born here that could grow up and take down the country, while possible, is about as wacky a conspiracy as I’ve heard yet. Well, it WOULDN’T have to be if the MSM would do their job and actually INVESTIGATE (Vet) candidates. The MSM and Barack Hussein Obama may have caught us napping, But I think America has awakened and is far less likely to accept just anyone as a serious candidate at this point. Just ask Donald Trump. Watch how fast his ratings fall now.
There is NO requirement that EITHER parent be born in the USA.
What do you think all the BORDER BABYS are all about? As long as the baby is Born in the USA (Cue Bruce Springsteen), the CHILD is a natural born citizen. It’s been that way since the Constitution was written.
So true. The Birth Certificate issue being settled will now allow everyone to focus on the fact that someone born of a British/Keyan father can't be a natural born citizen!
So when do you think Congress will act now that everyone knows his father wasn't an American citizen?
That piece of paper isn’t attached to the other one. Look at the edges, especialy the left one of the field with the alleged BC. What’s up with that?
It says AFRICAN.
You can check back on my posts and see that I've said the BC issue was a red herring all along.
His father was British! It's called dual citizenship!
What is the “Long Form”? Does anyone have a sample of the Hawaiin long form? Candidly, as a proud Birther, this has shocked me. My family is sending me emails every five minutes.
You write: “Did you have an opinion of the subject of the OP? (what was this sideshow today, designed to distract from?)”
My answer: My guess is that it will be something significant news about the economy. It will probably be in response to people who are demanding the transparency that Obama promised (and has yet to deliver). Bernanke (who is now on the defensive) will be trying to calm our fears.
You Write: “Meanwhile, how about all those other things Obama has been hiding?...”
Like what, specifically?
How do take focus off high gas prices? Birth issue
How do take focus off high unemployment rate? Birth issue
How do take focus off the value of the dollar? Birth issue
How do take focus off problems in middle east? Birth issue
How do take focus off ____________? Birth issue
How do take focus off ____________? Birth issue
How do take focus off ____________? Birth issue
How do take focus off ____________? Birth issue
How do take focus off ____________? Birth issue
Like Rahm Emanuel said, “You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”
I would venture to say this crisis is Obama’s birth issue. With everyone focusing on his birth issue, the true problems are put on the back burner, and all the real issues are dealt with using “Under the table negotiations”
Now his birth certificate maybe bogus. But it comes at a time when other problems need to be addressed. Let’s wait until the 2012 election and then declare him ineligible to run. Hold his feet to the fire on the real issues now!
I disagree. As much as I don’t like Obama or what he stands for, the fact remains the COLB (certificate of live birth) IS legal for establishing his credentials as being a natural born citizen.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but Trump has just imploded. He made a big mistake the other day when he announced boldly, “You won’t BELIEVE what my investigators have found!” When a reporter grilled him about that today, Trump had to do the backstroke. He avoided answering the question, and when pushed further, he said he’d answered the question, then ended the press conference.
Trump is dead in the water as a viable candidate. He was caught hyping something he cannot now produce. The American Voter has little regard for someone who’s caught trying to bullshit them like this. His credibility is now, in all likelihood, shot. It will be interesting to see if this negatively affects the ratings of his Apprentice show...

This bastard has more updates to his birth certificate than Billy Gates has to Windows XP!
