Statements have been made in the public domain that if Obama was not born in Hawaii but rather in Kenya, that he actually committed a crime involving fraud. That leads me to think that if that were true, then Obama has a Constitutional and state common law right to avoid further self-incrimination and to remain silent. That could explain why he has neither talked publicly nor wants to talk in any court of law about where he was born. But his right to remain silent would not extend to withholding his original Certificate of Live Birth. Disclosure of documents is not testimonial (coming from a person's mouth) and his 5th Amendment and state common law right to remain silent and to not incriminate himself would not prevent such disclosure. This leads me to the main point.

Obama at present finds himself in a trilemma: (1) Does he state publicly that he was born in Hawaii if he knows he was not and thereby "perjure" himself in the court of public opinion should the truth be eventually discovered? If he so swore under oath before Congress or any court of law, it would be actual perjury. (2) Will he produce his original birth certificate which may show and will he tell the public the truth that he was not born in Hawaii but rather Kenya and thereby betray his natural instinct of self-preservation and his life-long ambition to be President of the United States? or (3) Does he remain silent as to where he was born and continue to refuse to release his original birth certificate and thereby earn the contempt of those in the public who believe that he has not convincingly proven that he is a "natural born Citizen" and eligible to be President? I submit that Obama has made the third choice.

The consequences for Obama are the least drastic and he gains the most benefits under the choice involving remaining silent and not producing his original birth certificate which is exactly what he has done to date. There are at least two reasons for this:

(1) To date, no court of law has been willing to accept any case challenging his "natural born Citizen" status. The courts have dismissed law suits against him for reasons of jurisdiction, standing, political question, justiciability, and for reasons unknown. These procedural obstacles have allowed him to escape having to defend the underlying merits of the claims against him which would necessarily involve his having to make declarations under oath as part of legal discovery and before the court itself in case of a trial. He will simply continue to pursue this procedural strategy, for being so successful will allow him to maintain his silence and not produce his original birth certificate with the cost to him personally of only having to pay his team of lawyers. This strategy explains why he is willing to spend enormous amounts of his own money and resources for his legal defense (maybe not even his own money if he can make a case that he can use his campaign contributions to meet the costs involved) and cause private individual plaintiffs and public institutions (courts and public entity defendants) to spend theirs with no end in sight. This strategy also provides great impetus to the sales of his past and future books, thereby further filling up his coffers. This strategy also explains why he is not willing to simply spend less than $100.00 and produce his original birth certificate for the benefit of those Americans who want to see it. Lastly, this strategy provides an answer to the question of, assuming that Obama in the end simply produces his original birth certificate which shows he was born in Hawaii, why would Obama risk the public then perceiving him as one who played a dirty little game for the sake of aggrandizing his own image and increasing his profits.

(2) Obama wants (i) people who simply voted for him, (ii) people who are apathetic to the eligibility issue or because of ignorance, fear, or self-ambition refuse to address it; and (iii) people who in good faith believe he is eligible to be President (these categories may overlap), to believe that all the law suits and internet chatter questioning his eligibility to be President is political sour grapes, racism, or "tinfoil hat" conspiracy nonsense. These "explanations" for this outcry against him provide great camouflage for his silence and refusal to release his original birth certificate. This strategy limits any contempt backlash to only those who oppose him on the eligibility issue and to no one else, thereby greatly reducing the price associated with the public contempt component. The benefits Obama gains from stonewalling compared to the price he has to pay for complete disclosure makes the choice to refuse to speak about where he was born and to produce his original birth certificate most attractive for Obama. The stakes are high in this game for the Office of President. Obama has shown that he has the arrogance and audacity to play the game any which way he wants simply to win that Office and greatly profit thereby. The question for many concerned Americans who doubt whether he is eligible to be President is what they can do to get the nation’s political, legal, and social institutions to adequately and honestly investigate and decide whether he is indeed qualified to be President. Obama’s strategy is now preventing these Americans from learning the truth about whether he is eligible to be President. The ball is in the court of those who challenge Him.

I’d love to see a reporter stand up at one of his press conferences and simply ask:

“Where were you born? What hospital? Will you give immediate approval so we can confirm this through third party official state, municipal, hospital and other governmental agencies?”

Welcome to Free Republic.

Question: Do you think the SC will hear the Berg case? Or Dr. Keyes? Or will this go nowhere?

Good read, but I believe the real reason is below:

There appears to be an unprecedented level of collusion between numerous political power brokers on both sides of the political divide, elected and appointed officials on both the federal and state levels, as well as members of the corporate media.

It is interesting if not alarming to take a few steps back in an effort to gain a wider perspective, and finding unusual alliances and political 'bed partners' among various members this group.... Some events... have taken place within the past several years ... that have effectively changed or otherwise had a direct impact on the social and geopolitical landscape of America and its power structure.

A few examples include such things as NAFTA (North America Free Trade Agreement), the SPP (Security and Prosperity Partnership) treaty, border and immigration issues, the PATRIOT Act, the Global Poverty Act of 2007, the management of the oil "crisis," the most recent economic crisis and the remedies enacted, and the recent G-20 economic summit, where President Bush essentially provided economic oversight of U.S. economic institutions to the European Union.

The goal is the North American Union (NAU) by 2010, thus selling out America as we know it.

The NAU is just part of this global geopolitical agenda. The other part, of course, would be to have the other continents condense into Unions, such as Africa, South America, and the Middle East.

Obama is their pick. They believe because of his Arabic name and the color of his skin, he will be able to draw Africa and the Middle East (ME) under Western elitist influence. They surmise this is imperative as both the ME and Africa are engaging China more-so than the West.

Furthermore, Africa and the ME, when combined, account for 2/3 of the world’s energy resources.

The quest for a Middle Eastern and African Union is at the top of the list, and they believe Obama is the best choice to make that happen.

Allot of this information is layed out by the founder of the Council of Foreign Relations and a top foreign policy advisor to Obama - Zbigniew Brzezinski.

In his book, The Grand Chessboard, Zbigniew states that is imperative to get control of the Middle East and Africa in order to achieve a one-world Western, yet Marxist, dominated government. His logic is based on the fact that by securing Africa and the ME, Russia and China would have no choice but to go along with the West in terms of facilitating this one world government owned and operated by the Western Elite.

Very nicely stated counselor.

Do you believe it possible that he can be forced to show the actual birth certificate prior to Jan 20?

We have numerous, highly questionable rulings ( from several courts) about standing....who has the right to question this and many other things. If the courts continue this ..we will never know. Evidently noone has standing to enforce the constitution...??????????

I do not understand why each and every taxpayer/voter in the United States is denied “standing” by the Supreme Court

Welcome to FR! Excellent post! Now if we can find some people with the gonads to enforce the law. Frankly, when it comes to official government lawlessness, people with the authority to act turn their back and don’t act.

Does this make those people accomplices in conspiracy by shirking their duty to serve and protect the Constitution and the laws of the USA?

I believe it does. and it will require citizen arrests en masse, and newly organized courts that displace the corrupt courts. A monumental task. But totally dooable and legal under the US Constitution IMHO.

If we let a person who is not Constitutionally eligible
to become the POTUS just because he is black, then
we truly are a racist nation.

You are wrong about Muslim being stated under the category of religion on the birth certificate. Religion is NOT a category on the long form birth certificate!

We know why Obama is not speaking of his BC, what we all want to know is “What are the reasons why SCOTUS, SENATE, AND THE HOUSE will not force him to play his hand and release his real original birth certificate.” They have the power, what are the actual reasons for not making sure he is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. IT’S THE LAW.

ME TOO, but none of them will because they do not want to get kicked out of the audience forever. Besides, Obama would just act like he did’nt hear him or her. And no one has that much guts, plain and simple.
