Welcome to Free Republic, that is a damn fine post.
I cannot help but consider that at some point just before 0bama announced his candidacy for the Presidency, that SOMEbody in his inner circle, someone who knows him (Bill Ayers?) had to pose the question “what about the citizenship issue?”
Political campaign managers do not want to be surprised. They don’t want to be caught flat footed with sudden questions about “isn’t it true that Senator 0bama is not Constitutionally eligible to serve as President?”
I mean, look at that video of Bill Richardson when he states in unequivocal terms that “0bama is an immigrant”, there is no waffling, no qualification, Richardson made that statement but it never got any major airplay in the media, and it is the media that has served as 0bama’s ‘sword and shield’ in deflecting attacks, and counterattacking those who dare question ‘The One’.
And like all conspiracies, there has to be at least one or more individuals who will not keep silent, and for undetermined reasons (at this point), they may yet come forward to tell the truth about the matter.
Here’s what we know:
Nobody except for the Governor of Hawaii and a handful of state officials have actually seen the ‘vault’ copy of 0bama’s original birth certificate issued in 1961.
No hospital, medical center or clinic in Hawaii has been willing to state that 0bama was born in their facilities in 1961.
No doctor, nurse, or medical professional, working or retired, has come forward to say “I delivered Barack Hussein Obama, and the delivery was in Hawaii”.
The only public notice of birth was a paid-for classified in an obscure Honolulu paper, apparently placed by a family member. Legally, it has all the standing of Monopoly money.
There has been a concerted effort by 0bama and his enablers to conceal as much information as possible from the public, so far as the birth certificate, in addition to school, medical, passport records, etc.
All of the above (and more) serve only to demonstrate that 0bama is someone with something to hide.
Not surprising- doing so would violate various privacy laws and ethical rules.
No doctor, nurse, or medical professional, working or retired, has come forward to say “I delivered Barack Hussein Obama, and the delivery was in Hawaii”
Even assuming anybody involved in the delivery is still alive and remembers the delivery 47 years later, they would still be ethically and legally barred from discussing this.
MK, excellent summary of what we know.
May I use it? I’m feeling a letter to the editor coming on.....

Neither means a thing, you can not prove a thesis with a negative premise.
If you state that snapping your fingers keeps the tigers away and your proof is that there are no tiger attacks, you have committed a logical fallacy. There might be numerous reasons why there no tiger attacks, perhaps there are no tigers.
Perhaps the reason he remains silent on the issue is that he can see no controlling legal authority that could compel him to prove his suitability to serve as president. So far he seems to be winning on that point alone.
His background has been so completely sanitized that the only evidence left is negative and cannot be used to prove anything. Even the lack of evidence is negative, albeit highly suggestive.

If Bill Richardson called Obama himself an immigrant, he is a fool. Obviously Obama was brought up in this country; we all know that and there is plenty of evidence. Only where he was born is in question, and I doubt Richardson had any special inside info. Richardson probably meant “son of an immigrant” but even that is weird, as his father was only here on a student visa.
Also, another thing about that two line birth announcement in the Oahu paper: it contained an address where other people lived (and still live today, I think) and not the Obamas or Dunhams.
