Obama's birth certificate: Final chapter. This time we mean it!
St. Petersburg Times ^ | 7/1/09 | Robert Fartley

Posted on 07/06/2009 5:42:02 PM PDT by pissant

Back on June 27, 2008, PolitiFact published a story we hoped would put the whole Obama birth certificate controversy to rest. It ran under the now-laughable headline, "Obama's birth certificate: Final chapter."

Oh, how naive we were.

More than a year later, the debate continues to rage on the Internet among the "Birthers" movement, people who doubt that President Barack Obama is a natural-born U.S. citizen and is therefore ineligible to serve as president. Or at least, they say, Obama has yet to sufficiently prove things one way or the other.

Today, we examine two claims:

• WorldNetDaily's owners took out an ad saying White House spokesman Robert Gibbs "lied" when he said President Obama's birth certificate is posted on the Internet. We ruled that statement False .

Your rulings, Mr. Fartley, are as flawed as they were last year. A COLB is NOT a birth Certificate.

I don’t need to read the article to make the following statement:

Until I see, or hear from someone competent and trustworthy that they have seen the long form original BC, I am and shall remain a “birther”.

Pissant, thanks for your perseverance on this.

The central fact about Obama's long form birth certificate (or lack thereof) is so self-evident, these journalists really have to twist themselves in knots ignoring it.

I have yet to see one of these "legitimate" news organization describe the difference between a "vault copy" or long form birth certificate, and the document that Obama purports to be his "Certification of Live Birth". And more importantly, why that central difference is so critical to this entire discussion.

Though he was born to an American mother, and that’s good enough for me. Be careful what you ask for. Someday a real neat conservative may come to the fore with a similar issue.

All of that BS aside... Zero claims that he has an original paper copy of his birth certificate. And yet he would rather cost the US tax payers millions of dollars in court proceedings rather than fork over the one that he claims to have, or pay less than twenty bucks to get the one that Hawaii says it has. Zero has a forked tongue and crap sandwich breath! The man is not the president as far as I’m concerned.

I just had a Thai-wrap, and now 30 minutes later I’m thinking of changing my name to Fartley.

The most amount of effort is to suppress the info, whether it be the $800K+ in legal fees, to suppress documents, odd court dismissals, tortured definitions about "standing", and complete lock-step media suppression (name-calling, ridicule, political attacks) of ANYONE who even asks a question.

This is a simple question in search of a simple answer that does not include deception, publication of fraudulent documents, and complete obfuscation at the highest of levels.

The best way to put it to bed, is to put it to bed, and Mr. Fartley's gaseous emissions do not even get close.

It's the St. Pete Times. A word means what the Times says it means on the day the Times uses it to mean what they say it means.

‘When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.’

Faulty reasoning leads to faulty conclusions.

Mr. Farley...please practice your craft, or find a new calling.

The COLB posted on the internet is NOT a long form BC. It doesn’t list the hospital, attending physician or midwife. It doesn’t list the parents names or nationalities. It, in fact, provides very little information apart from the fact that a child was born, and he was named Barak Hussein Obama.

The other issues surrounding BHO’s background are equally as cloudy, IMO. Who paid for his college tuition, etc.? What country’s passport did he use when he traveled to Pakistan in the 1980’s?

The eligibility issue deserves a full and complete hearing and resolution. If we are to be a nation of laws, let’s start with the Constitution...

It’s time to take back the country.
