I was at the grocery story this morning - on the cover of THE GLOBE: “things obama is hiding from the American people.” Where was he born?; Did he travel to Pakistan on an Indonesian passport?; What is his real name? And more...
I went so far as to pick it up and look inside. :) It’s in the checkout aisle, so it’s got to get some attention - and even if it is The Globe, it might spark some thinking. Or - maybe not...
Thank you for proving my point. Now cut out the personal insults troll.
“Now cut out the personal insults troll.”
No personal insults, just observing a point and you are just angry because I am right. You did NOT read the article and your little slam of this poster placing this thread was not appreciated and showed you for what you were attempting to do.
Doesn’t Berg have proof otherwise in that seal case at the SCOTUS?
Yes, I think Polarik showed the seal on the factcheck.org on the COLB is a 2008 seal, on a birth certificate supposedly printed in 2007.
Way to add a seal to a fake birth certificate there Oby. I guess your crew didn’t realize Hawaii changed the seal every couple of years and was due for a new one in 2008.
[BTW, isn't FR extremely slow today?]
BS, the article was about the oath of office, and that was all it was about. And I'm not angry troll, I just grow tired of the conspiracy nuts running around.
Ok, let’s try this one more time.
From the article:
“It it it reminded Press Secretary Robert Gibbs of that very thing too. He was joking about this this [sic] morning and said ‘You know we have we have [sic] the birth certificate if you if you [sic](Siegel laughs) want to see it . . . .’” Horsely then concludes his report by telling us how Chief Justice Roberts re-administered the oath.
Now, how is that again that it was ONLY about the oath and ALL it was about?
Yes, I gotcha now.
There is alot in front of the SCOTUS I think that is sealed, not sure which case with Berg has had information released.
And FR is definitely slow today.
Obama Retakes Oath Of Office by Scott Horsley and Robert Siegel Listen Now add to playlist
All Things Considered, January 21, 2009 · President Barack Obama has retaken the oath of office after his swearing-in ceremony Tuesday didn't go as smoothly as planned. Chief Justice John Roberts administered the oath to the president in front of reporters. On Tuesday, Roberts flubbed his lines while leading Obama in the 35-word oath.

WASHINGTON January 22, 2009, 07:36 am ET · After the flub heard around the world, President Barack Obama has taken the oath of office. Again. Chief Justice John Roberts delivered the oath to Obama on Wednesday night at the White House — a rare do-over. The surprise moment came in response to Tuesday's much-noticed stumble, when Roberts got the words of the oath a little off, which prompted Obama to do so, too.
Don't worry, the White House says: Obama has still been president since noon on Inauguration Day.
Nevertheless, Obama and Roberts went through the drill again out of what White House counsel Greg Craig called "an abundance of caution."
This time, the scene was the White House Map Room in front of a small group of reporters, not the Capitol platform before the whole watching world.
"We decided that because it was so much fun ...," Obama joked to reporters who followed press secretary Robert Gibbs into the room. No TV camera crews or news photographers were allowed in. A few of Obama's closest aides were there, along with a White House photographer.
Roberts put on his black robe.
"Are you ready to take the oath?" he said.
"Yes, I am," Obama said. "And we're going to do it very slowly."
Roberts then led Obama through the oath without any missteps.
The president said he did not have his Bible with him, but that the oath was binding anyway.
The original, bungled version on Tuesday caught observers by surprise and then got replayed on cable news shows.
It happened when Obama interrupted Roberts midway through the opening line, in which the president repeats his name and solemnly swears.
Next in the oath is the phrase " ... that I will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States." But Roberts rearranged the order of the words, not saying "faithfully" until after "president of the United States."
That appeared to throw Obama off. He stopped abruptly at the word "execute."
Recognizing something was off, Roberts then repeated the phrase, putting "faithfully" in the right place but without repeating "execute."
But Obama then repeated Roberts' original, incorrect version: "... the office of president of the United States faithfully."
Craig, the White House lawyer, said in a statement Wednesday evening: "We believe the oath of office was administered effectively and that the president was sworn in appropriately yesterday. Yet the oath appears in the Constitution itself. And out of the abundance of caution, because there was one word out of sequence, Chief Justice John Roberts will administer the oath a second time."
The Constitution is clear about the exact wording of the oath and as a result, some constitutional experts have said that a do-over probably wasn't necessary but also couldn't hurt. Two other previous presidents have repeated the oath because of similar issues, Calvin Coolidge and Chester A. Arthur.

NO not there!!! .
I bet Obama took the oath of allegience right before he did his second try at the oath of office....lol. Just to make is somewhat legal!
No. We need Barack Obama’s original Hawaii vault copy birth certificate to compare it to the COLB that they posted online.
The reference to the “birth certificate” is in the interview of Siegel of Horsley which can be heard at 2:33 at this link:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=99681708&sc=emaf
The NPR article itself does not refer to the “birth certificate.” In my post, I provided my transcript of that part of the conversation between Siegel and Horsley in which they talk about the “birth certificate.”
Ah Thanks. So much for speed reading.
Hmmmm. But what do I do if I read the article but miss the paragraph, not knowing I’ve missed the paragraph and hence not realizing I made a mistake?
I’m sorry, I missed your message in my comments earlier.
Ok, so what I’m referencing is the quote from what this poster posted. Listen to the NPR program and you will find the QUOTE I posted.
Oh no worries friend! Yeah, I was just getting in a “quick Freeper read” before I headed out for the afternoon and I kinda missed the obvious.
Thanks!!!!
Hey, I want to apologize for being a little snippy this morning. No excuses, but my kids were driving me bonkers and I was taking a break in my office. Free Republic is probably not the place to ‘chill out’ right now. ha
You have kids?? Hey. That is THE reason to be grumpy. Apology accepted and apologize for being a bit of a smart ass. I SO try to fight that. lol
But if you have kids, especially teenagers, you get a free grump pass. Kind of like a Monopoly Get Out of Jail Free Card. ; )
