Not a good day to quit the anti birthers

Either way, people. It’s NOT about the ‘birth certificate’. It’s about his lack of ‘truthfulness’ and ‘transparency’. Not only is his eligibility requirement in question.....but the REST of his records. I think this needs to be QUESTIONED MORE!!!!!!
I want to see his COLLEGE RECORDS.
Guess National Review Online heard from enough contributors/subscribers to take another look.
Ha ha ha ha ha Ha ha ha ha ha. That alone would be enough reason (for the Dems) to keep it hidden. Talk about an Oreo.....
In theory? There is no "In Theory" about it. Read the friggin' Constitution, that is if you know how to read.
It’s a head fake. The real bottom line issue is that O’s father was not a U. S. citizen, therefore, he cannot be a natural born citizen.
It actually very simple. If he doesn’t have anything to hide why doesn’t he release the thing and settle the matter? While he is at it, he might also release his university records. That, of course, is if he has nothing to hide.
I don’t know about you Vet, but I am having fun.
Well, what do you expect from trust fund, frat house Romney supporters, sharp thinking?
They don’t like birthers for the same reason they don’t like Palin. They are elitist snobs and feel threatened that the unwashed are out and about on their own and less and less listening to the country club mafia.
Not a good day to quit the anti birthers
There may be perfectly benign answers to all of this. But the real question is: Why don’t the media — the watchdog legions who trekked to Sarah Palin’s Alaska hometown to scour for every kernel of gossip, and who were so desperate for Bush dirt that they ran with palpably forged military records — want to dig into Obama’s background?In-freaking-deed.
It just keeps getting murkier and murkier.
But the logic of those digging gets clearer and clearer.
Was Obama adopted by Indonesian citizen Lolo Soetoro?
This could be the reason 0bama doesn’t want the long form birth certificate released. If he was adopted by Lolo Soetoro and given the legal name Barry Soetoro, he would have had to LEGALLY change it to Barack Obama in order to place that name on a ballot.
If he placed the name Barack Obama on a ballot while still legally known as Barry Soetoro it would disqualify him. It might even be a felony.
Well, kinda sorta in theory. While the Constitution calls out natural born, there’s no real definition in law. Current U.S. law confers “citizen at birth” status to many categories of people, including Obama. Some say that is the same as “natural born”; others say it isn’t. What is needed is a clear-cut SCOTUS ruling that everyone can understand and apply.
When the outside observer considers the reasons why BHO won’t release his original long form birth certificate, they always suggest that there might be an embarrassing reason (he’s white, he’s Soetoro, etc.) that’s irrelevant to the issue of his eligibility. And, in isolation, that might explain his unwillingness to reveal the document.
However, combined with the secrecy of his personal records, dating all the way back to his Kindergarten records (which are mysteriously missing) through to his attorney client records, it stinks something awful. No one needs to be that secretive about their past, UNLESS they are hiding something. And that is the true issue here. Why is he hiding EVERYTHING?
Notice how the news libs are getting so defensive (lol)!
“FREE THE LONG FORM!”
The way to get a good case is for a state, any state, to pass a law demanding proof of eligibility before a Presidential wannabe gets on the state ballot, or gets the state's Electoral College votes.
I have long felt that he could be hiding something related not to eligibility but electability. For ex, let’s say the complete birth records show he was adopted by Lolo Soetoro (which seems more likely than not). It’s my understanding this would mean that he had and may still hold Indonesian citizenship.
I am skeptical than anyone could be elected president of the U.S. if voters knew that he held or still holds citizenship in the largest Muslim country in the world. Thus, it seems perfectly plausible to me that he was born in HI but is hiding something that he felt would hurt his standing as a politician.
