Let's just say, for the sake of argument, that Obama's birth certificate is legit, and exists in Hawaii as advertised.
"Impossible!" you might say. "If this were the case, why wouldn't he just release it? It'd make all of the controversy go away!"
What if he doesn't WANT the controversy to go away? What if he's perfectly happy having you guys rant and rave and generally sound paranoid about his origins. It feeds his 'My opposition is just morons who are so blinded by my skin color they can't even conceive of a Black man being born in the US' narrative beautifully. Sure, if it ever became a 'real' issue, he could just release it, but right now, it seems to me that the Obama Birth certificate 'controversy' is doing nothing but playing directly into the MSM narrative that the entire of Obama's opposition is made up of 'raving, racist, lunatics and fools.'
To a large enough majority of the country, it's simply not an issue. To those of you for whom it is an issue, you won't like him no matter what he does, so frankly, why should he care?
I dunno, not an Obama fan, myself, for plenty of reasons- but this birth certificate thing has always struck me as silly, if not downright malicious on the part of "Zero's" administration. The more time you spend ranting, raving, and paying attention to the 'lack of birth certificate,' the less time your spending investigating what real skeletons he may have in his closet.
Ditto. These people posting still cannot understand NBC or they are shills.
His father was a not a US citizen. He therefore cannot be a natural born citizen.
He can be a citizen if he was born in the US, but if he wasn't then he's an illegal alien, (because his mother did not meet the residency requirement that apply to those born abroad of a single citizen parent), as well as ineligible for the office he occuppies.
here’s his wife saying that obama is a Kenyan
there is another video of her saying Baracks homeland
seeing as she knows him best then one would think that the media would ask her what she meant by those comments and why will he not show the B/C
just put a link up for the OP which has his own wife saying he is a Kenyan
HEY MEDIA SEE THE VIDEO
You pick up the phone and hear a voice:
“The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.”
Prove it.
The most rediculous part is that we are the only nation that cannot fully identify its leader and know very little of his life. What will be next? An Ugandan in the WH?
And Congress remains comatose during these dangerous times.
good analysis
all of his records are in a “lockbox”
could you imagine a Republican trying to do that?
the SCM would be spastic
We are supposed to be a country of fairness. The Libtards talk about their utopian, color-blind society (even though they really promulgate the racism.
So what’s fair about a president (nee presidential candidate) no divulig the most basic records such as a BC or college records, and yet the State Run Media expects another (almost conservative) candidate to produce his permission pass to go to lunch when he was in the National Guard?
We both know my observation is merely a whisper in the roar of what are the most basic arguments to produce the BC.
What is even more treasonous is the actions of everyone who ignores that he not a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. It’s common knowledge his daddy, is a British Citizen. End of story.
Nice theory but the issue is too petty. If he wasn’t hiding anything he might yank our chain for a while then use it to his advantage by producing his birth certificate, but he hasn’t. In fact, he has spent real money, to the tune of about a million bucks, protecting himself. This has gone way beyond his pulling a political stunt.
Personally, I’d like to see Obama finish out his first term, citizen or not. He’s the best thing that’s happened to the GOP in years and, if the Pubbies are smart enough to take advantage of this by running real conservatives (and not more of the likes of Dole, McCain, Specter etc.), they should make a strong comeback.
Actually, in his case, his real problem hides in plain sight. While he is (apparently) a native born citizen, he is not "natural born". The constitutional requirement is "natural born", not native born.
That means the problem is not his BC, but rather his dad's citizenship. By arguing about the BC, we miss the real issue. And you'll notice that the press like to mock anyone who questions his BC (and the long list of other docs he has sequestered) but the press never ever goes near the question of "natural born citizenship".
As you say, keep the focus on the BC (that he won't release) and maybe no one will ask about the constitutional requirement that we already know he doesn't meet.
I’ve had to produce my birth certificate three times at the job where I currently work. I asked a DOD investigator who was questioning me for somebody’s security clearance; if I told you I’d had business and personal dealings with William Ayers and that my mentor was Frank Davis, would you give me a clearance? He blushed, himmed and hawed a bit, then said, no. Obama, or whatever his real name is, is getting briefed on our country’s deepest, most important secrets, like how many nuclear warheads we have. I think a birth certificate is in order. I think a complete background investigation is in order.
Now, imagine he’s out of office doing a Carter, running around the world hugging dictators and telling secrets he learned as president. Does he imagine he can still keep his past secret? When it comes out, will he be prosecuted? I certainly hope so. But, knowing this will happen, what is the probability that he’ll allow himself to be kicked out of office by a mere election? Dictators just declare marshal law. Of course, to do that, he’ll need a significant crisis not to waste. Could this explain why the Department of Homeland Security can’t find it’s cheeks with both hands and a mirror?
Boy did you hit the nail on the head! One thing we know for sure: this man is hiding something (perhaps many things). The only disagreement is on exactly what that is. Maybe his entire life is just one big sham.
Nonsense. The Kenyan knows he’s not a legit and is annoyed that we birthers are persistent.
First clue is the Kenyan and his minions use Alinsky rules on birthers.
Second clue is the Kenyan’s vital records are sealed. Why?
Third clue is that the only thing we know about the Kenyan is from his two, count them, two, autobiographies that read like KGB legends for moles.
Your problem is that you can’t grasp the scope of evil of communists. Wake up.
Wow. Never ever ever ever has anyone posted that theory on here before! /S
Thing is, no one is focused on the BC issue to the point that nothing else is going on.
So the theory really doesn’t hold any water, does it?
I’d agree if it became a focus like slick willie’s cigar did...that whole Oval Office BJ stuff side tracked the real impeachment process.
But this BC discussion really isn’t taking away from other issues.
Large enough for what?
To those of you for whom it is an issue, you won't like him no matter what he does, so frankly, why should he care?
Because the President of the United States of America is supposed to defend the constitution, which includes a clause about the President being a natural born citizen. Your current Pres__nt, doesn't have the best interests of America in his plans, and this fact is glaringly obvious to every other civilized country in the world. Jeez, even France is shaking it's collective head at Obama. It does not make sense that an American President can behave like he hates your country, and get away with it.
The more time you spend ranting, raving, and paying attention to the 'lack of birth certificate,' the less time your spending investigating what real skeletons he may have in his closet.
Like what, for instance?
If he spent two million dollars to avoid producing a perfectly innocent birth certificate, just to make some Americans who disagree with him look bad, that alone is a scandal.
