This week, newscasters reported that al Qaeda's #2 terrorist disparaged the election of Barack Obama, and hurled racial slurs at Obama himself. "The report has not been confirmed by the State Department," they all said, but they reported it anyway. Last week, Fox News reporter Carl Cameron told viewers that three "anonymous" insiders of Sen. McCain's campaign said that Sarah Palin was, in essence, a diva and a dunce. He - and dozens of others who picked up the story on other channels - never identified, or even verified, the sources of the quotes, but they reported them anyway. Contrast these shabby examples of "journalism" with the legions of identifiable, verifiable and credible sources who for months have been investigating the disturbing allegation that Barack Obama is ineligible for the presidency because he has failed to meet one of the three requirements that the U.S. Constitution mandates, specifically that he provide proof of his "natural born" U.S. citizenship. What follows is a partial list of people and organizations that have challenged Obama's eligibility. Further on I will comment on how egregious the media's failure to cover this story has been. And last, I will speculate on the reason for the cover-up of this full-blown scandal.

Unless she had Kenyan docs for him.
Look, it is nothing but a theory but why would someone who is in his position not produce the vault copy? Why?
On one of the threads I read that little Barry, once he was living in HI with grandparents, would visit Indonesia to see his mother and sister. If this was so, he must have had some kind of passport. Maybe someone else knows more about this.
The media blackout on this story follows the same pattern as their failure to report all other important news stories.
For example, in 2004 they ignored John Kerry’s 1971 meeting in Paris with Viet Cong, his failure to release his military records, etc.
Conventional media bias is the simplest and most plausible explanation.
“if SCOTUS takes the case ... hold on to your hats ...”
Right. They are accountable to no one, and in this case I like it.
It is very easy to prove me wrong. All that is required is for Obama to produce his birth certificate.
Of course, it doesn’t help that he has produced, and certified, a COLB which has been proven to be a forgery.
I firmly believe that he is not eligible to be President and has known it all along.
What does this say about his integrity?
From Vancouver, use ground transportation to Seattle.
Stop and visit with Susan Blake in Seattle. Blake is the first person who has stepped forth and claimed she saw Stanley Dunham with a newborn baby.
The added story about travelling through Seattle to reach Cambridge, and join with up with Daddy Barack doesn’t jive either. Seattle was not on the route from HI and Senior wasn’t admitted to Harvard until the following year.
>> They may believe that this case is so strong that there’s a chance SCOTUS will act to have Hussein disqualified. Maybe they think that if they covered it on their shows, the MSM would have no choice but to come out in full attack mode. MSM would annihilate Donofrio, et al., start with the character assassination, etc.
Maybe the conservative talk show people think we have a better chance of winning if they lay low, DON’T draw attention to it, and let SCOTUS do their job with the facts that exist. <<
Now, that is a very interesting, and plausible theory. I've been cracking my teeth on this nut for weeks, but had never thought of that possibility.
It's a reasonable explanation, but still, we're just speculating here. The fact remains that the big talkers have covered every other MSM-banned story about Obama. Why the blackout on this, perhaps the most important one?
Second tier conservative talker, Rusty Humphries, mentioned the BC story on his show two nights ago, and basically called it a conspiracy theory without legs. I was shocked. Rusty is normally dead on in his analysis of people and events. I can only think that he's not as well-informed as the average Freeper.
This says it all.
But what about the failure of the powerful conservative media - how to explain their total blackout of this story? Let’s look at their reactions:
Fox News: Total Silence. Did the healthy shares that Saudi Arabia bought of Fox influence the network’s non-coverage of this story? After all, it’s no secret which candidate the Saudis endorsed! We know that TV shows, including Fox, are on a seven-second delay, the better to bleep out offensive or inappropriate material. Doesn’t it strike Fox viewers as strange that not one of their outspoken guests, even once, mentioned this story? Who warned them not to?
Rush Limbaugh: Total Silence. Why has the Excellence-in-Broadcasting’s “Dr. of Democracy” - the man who eats sacred cows for breakfast - not touched this story?
Mark Levin: Total Silence. Why has this popular radio host, commonly known as “the Great One,” abandoned his well-deserved reputation as a Constitutional scholar to studiously not address this Constitutional issue?
Laura Ingraham: Total Silence. Here is another radio powerhouse and former clerk to Justice Clarence Thomas taking pains not to mention this case...not a word!
Bill O’Reilly: Total Silence. Yes, the guy who claims he’s “just looking out for the folks”...voiceless!
Sean Hannity: Total Silence. The iconic radio and TV host who tackles every controversial subject under the sun...missing in action!
Well then how is it that he obtained a U.S. Passport?
Sure, someone may have noticed it, if he were just some lowly American peon waiting in the Customs & Immigration line, but he's a bigtime VIP US Senator. Those people go through the diplomatic express line, and are never given anything but scant scrutiny.
I highly doubt that any immigration agent ever gave his US passport anything more than a cursory glance before stamping it.
I distinctly remember that my mother had a passport with three of my younger siblings on it in 1963. We still have it somewhere.
If he were born in Kenya, the U.S Embassy and State Department would have a record of that birth.
As I said earlier, I was born outside the U.S and have a birth certificate from the Embassy. And even though I was born outside the U.S. I am a natural born citizen.
And Obama would have had to show his Passport to officials in other nations.
Moreover, the people who breached his Passport file would have noticed that his place of birth was Kenya.
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The CEO of a company whose employee is accused of improperly looking at the passport files of presidential candidates is a consultant to the Barack Obama campaign, a source said Saturday.
On Friday, the department revealed that Obama's passport file was improperly accessed three times this year, and the security of passport files of the two other major presidential candidates -- Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican John McCain -- had also been breached.
Someone earlier in the thread noted that Obama may have been issued a diplomatic passport after becoming a US Senator, which would likely not indicate his place of birth.
Notice that he never once left the continental US between his 1981 trip to Pakistan, and upon becoming a US Senator (when he would have ostensibly received a “clear” passport).
Makes your head hurt, doesn’t it?
If Chief Justice Roberts fails to ask Obama for such documentation, he is not fulfilling his obligation to the Constitution and could be impeached.
The State of Hawaii allows residents of Hawaii to register in the state of Hawaii the birth of their children, born in another state or another country, such as Kenya. Please see in attachment a sample Certificate of Live Birth, Box 7C, asks for the County or State or other country of birth.(this provision exists due to the fact that numerous Hawaiians historically worked outside of the state, mostly on Solomon islands and Guadalcanal). This document also has provisions for the name of the hospital and the name and signature of the doctor. Additionally, Hawaii became a State in 1959, only two years before Mr. Obama’s birth. At a time numerous residents of Hawaii did not have birth certificates, therefore the state of Hawaii allowed residents born from 1902 until 1971 to obtain a different document called Certification of Hawaiian birth, that could be obtained simply by the statement made by a relative without any corroborating evidence. Therefore the short version birth certificate, posted by Mr. Obama on his web site, could’ve been based on an affidavit made by his mother or most probably by one of his grandparents, that he was born in Hawaii, even if he actually was born in Kenya. This could’ve been done not because Mr. Obama’s relatives thought that he would run for president one day, but simply to avoid the hustle and expense of going through some eight years of immigration procedures.
Aside from the years 1972, 1973 and 1974 Barry spent Christmas and summer vacations with his mother and sister in Indonesia. Sure would be nice to know where all the money came from for this never mind what passport he used. I do know that in his book he mentioned that when he came back to Hawaii on his own in 1970 he mentioned a Chinese couple had been on the same plane as he was but they were held back by Customs while he was waved through after he showed his passport. FWIW we all know what Barry’s story is worth, fairytale that it is. That opens another whole can of worms with U.S. passports not needing to be renewed except every 10 years. Submit the expiring passport and up to date picture and get the new passport.
