Does this Barack Obama birth certificate issue bug you because, although improbable, it's possible that he's not a natural born citizen, isn't eligible to be President under the Constitution, and this issue could be bigger than Watergate -- or any other "gate" in history?
Are you afraid that if you were even to raise the subject with your friends that they will think you wear a tinfoil hat, because Factcheck.org, the final arbiter of truth in the universe, said so?
Are you with the news media, and after spending so much money to get Barack Obama elected, you'd hate to ruin your investment?
Are you a talk radio host who thinks that if you say the burden of proof needed to demonstrate one is eligible to be Commander in Chief should be at least as high as, oh, say, the level to be eligible for Hawaiian homestead status (see 1.F. below), that you'd be forced to give equal time to someone who disagrees?
Are you a conservative, libertarian, or any conscientious constitutionalist from any ideological side of life, who's convinced something's not right, but you're afraid your reputation might be tarnished because, after all, this could be one big Saul-Alinsky-style set-up, and the joke would be on you?
Fear not! Joe the Farmer has prepared an outline showing that no matter how this issue is ultimately resolved, you have legitimate concerns, and that Barack Obama should, simply out of respect for the nation he was elected to lead, disclose the sealed vault copy of his birth certificate.
Given the circumstances, if Barack Obama respected this nation, he would prove it by the simplest and easiest of gestures - unless, of course, all this talk about change and hope was just a bunch of bull, and he's just "another politician."

No they didn't. They merely certified the vote count. None of them certified whether he was qualified to hold the office. There's no process to do that. That's why, in 7 states, people sued the state to have them prove he was qualified, and judges told the plaintiffs they didn't have standing, or that the court wouldn't hear the case. The one in NJ, I believe, has made it all the way to the US Supreme Court. There is a hearing on December 5th, ten days prior to the Electoral College votes being tallied.
I said it before, I’ll say it again. “Mr. Obama, why lawer up, when you can pony up?”
Many of the states had the commie party nominee as well. This person was known to have been born outside the U.S.A. and is known to not be a “natural born citizen.” That argument is a no go.
I believe that he has done what is legally required to prove his citizenship to the proper people, otherwise he wouldn’t be the pres-elect. Realistically though, why should he produce it just to satisfy those people that hate him?
We've been lucky so far. Over 200 years and nary a threat or a plot that hasn't been uncovered and dealt with successfully.
To think that we may be just days away from total anarchy is mind boggling.
Apparently, those people that could obtain this document, don’t think much about his grandmothers statement. If it were the other way around, we would be mocking anyone that put any credence on his grandmothers statements...besides, there really is no evidence.
What would we be saying, if it were the other way around?
OK
Thanks for this article. I am sending it to my email list.
Well, this ain’t middle school and credibility is important.
I must respectfully disagree. He has been certified by the States as being the Democrat Nominee for President - NOT that he is constitutionally qualified to be President. That is the substance of the Donofrio suit, which is currently in conference before the Supreme Court.
The State of Hawaii has certified that Obama has a birth certificate on record, but they have not indicated that the birth certificate actually says he was born in Hawaii. As another poster pointed out, his Indonesian-born sister has a COLB on file in Hawaii, too.
The burden of proof remains on Obama to prove that he is Constitutionally qualfied to be President. Of the three requirements (age, residency, and natural birth status), the birth certificate proves two of them.
I do not hate him nor know of any REP’s that hate him....but if you want to spend 600million to be president of the single most powerful country on Earth, why not just show the darn thing and get this crap over with? Silence is like saying “yes, I am a fraud”. He should be singing like a canary. His narcissism prevents this, though. And unfortunately, there is no cure for the mental woes of this man.
Why do you think she has to explain anything to us? The govt does lots of stuff, that they don’t explain to us, or feel the need to.
I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens.
