Why does World Net Daily continue to push their stories about the possibility of whether Obama is constitutionally eligible to serve?
At first it was compelling, quite intriguing to read the stories that they dug up on the mysterious background of the 44th President of the United States. However, at this point its futile and they must be doing it simply for website traffic. It does not matter, the issue will go nowhere. There is no possible way, even if their assumptions are true, that the allegations will amount to anything. They continued their onslaught of stories on the matter the other day with a piece entitled "Kenyan official: Obama born here". There complete archive of articles on the issue can be viewed HERE.
I believe WND to be a quality and informative website putting forth stories that are relevant and newsworthy. However, their obsession with the birther issue has left them to be openly mocked. It discredits them as a news outlet, and continues to only damage the reputation of what is a legitimate news outlet. My advice to Joseph Farah and the organizers of the site is to drop the issue. Quit printing material concerned with whether he is constitutionally eligible to serve. I understand that these are serious charges and that if these allegations are true it is a travesty that Obama was allowed to avoid the regulations which are required to the hold the highest office in the land. But the issue is of no consequence at this point. Obama is the President and it must be respected that he is.
WND should focus its resources on exposing the Presidents policies. They should focus their attention on his radical agenda, his dismantling of our republic and his goals of dramatically shifting the composition of our great...

So many of the posts here that I see seem to be unable to grasp the message. I’m not saying that it is not a constitutional issue, I am not alleging that it is not serious, that was made very clear in the article if you took the time to read it in its entirety and not just the excerpt. I could care less about what liberals have to say about the issue and that is not the reason i suggest that they drop it. I only believe that their resources could be better expended on fighting Obama’s radical agenda — including efforts to repeal the healthcare bill, to make sure that cap and trade nor the EPA enforce their insane carbon laws. To make sure that spending goes down and their is an effort to reduce the budget, to make sure that the Fed is audited, to make sure that state’s rights are protected. To ensure that taxation does not reach a level to where it causes a huge detriment to the economy. These things are within the power of the people and the representatives to change.
It is my opinion that Obama is a one term President and has no chance of being elected to a second term so I am not concerned with the issue as far as him being re-elected. And as for the individual that insinuated that I am not a Republican (if I took that the wrong way forgive me) well I certainly am registered as one but I believe that the majority of Republicans are shameful representatives of this country. Less shameful then the Democrats of course, but as for me I identify myself as a conservative and so slave to the orders of any such party. The point of the article is that in my opinion there is legitimacy to there articles about his birth certificate, in my opinion it seems that the evidence points toward him not being eligible to be President. But it wont be repealed, he will not be thrown from office and if you think that there is a chance that he will be you are incredibly naive. Now if WND’s efforts result in the requirement that future candidates be vetted and made sure that they meet the requirements that is a victory, but as far as I can tell WND has clearly already made their point as many of you are so already aware of and the continuance of such articles seems to be repetitive at best.
The ultimate point I am making is that I think as citizens we should be more concerned with fighting the policies of which the administration is trying to force down our throats, more concerned with the Republicans taking back Congress. The lawsuits will go nowhere, and as I asserted earlier even if it did come to a point where Obama was forced to reveal his “true” birth certificate (Which it will never come to that) Do you not think that the Federal Government is not capable of making sure that an official document is presented? (although it would be technically fake) Months ago Michael Savage made this point on his show — if they had to the powers that be would be able to construct a document “proving” he was a natural born citizen.
Also to those who doubt my allegiance to the conservative cause, view my website if you want see if it construes a liberal or conservative message. I am confident you will find that it is quite a right leaning site. I just think it is more important to expend energy on fighting what we can control and that is the policies that are trying to be put forth by this radical regime in Washington.
I wish that some of the talking heads (including some on Fox) and Republicans who have called the so called “birthers” crazy would come forward with their own proof which would answer the questions about Obama’s past.
Yep. Time to smoke the bastard out.
So if Obama faked his way into the position of chief surgeon in a hospital and is it discovered that he didn’t even attend medical school he should be allowed to keep operating. I’m sure the patients would like to know this little fact. Just ignore the patients who’ve died under his care. Let him keep operating.
Honestly, reread this paragraph:
“I understand that these are serious charges and that if these allegations are true it is a travesty that Obama was allowed to avoid the regulations which are required to the hold the highest office in the land. But the issue is of no consequence at this point. Obama is the President and it must be respected that he is.”
Translation: I don’t care if he didn’t go to medical school let him keep his job as chief surgeon and let him keep operating.
Then why are you wasting your precious time on this thread, then? Get out there and do the things you think important to defeat the jackal. You’re wasting time!
By now even he realizes his chances for re-election are too small to calculate. But when we look outside the legislative cesspool that is our national capitol we see other things, possibly not interconnected but troubling still.
Bush left the Patriot Act in place with all the arcane rules and regulations only a politician could want or need. It's unlikely but possible for you and I to be declared 'enemy combatants' for what we write here and on other boards. Remember, he doesn't need a court order to do that, only a suspicion. For the last few days we've seen stories about an 80,000 man force being assigned to the U.S. just prior to fall elections. True? False? Unfounded rumor? I don't know. But if I were he and I wanted to cancel the next election or stuff the ballot boxes I'd damned sure want a rifle squad hanging around to make sure my plans weren't upset.
I don't know what's going to happen any more than anyone else does. I don't even know if it's possible to throw him out of office over this birth certificate issue. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done.*
* That last sentence unashamedly lifted from Mike Vanderboegh's 'Sipsey Stree Irregulars' site.
Too much circumstantial evidence to dismiss the accusations!
“I only believe that their resources could be better expended on fighting Obamas radical agenda including efforts to repeal the healthcare bill, to make sure that cap and trade nor the EPA enforce their insane carbon laws. To make sure that spending goes down and their is an effort to reduce the budget, to make sure that the Fed is audited, to make sure that states rights are protected. To ensure that taxation does not reach a level to where it causes a huge detriment to the economy. These things are within the power of the people and the representatives to change.”
Here again you are missing the whole point of the birth certificate/eligibility issue.
Going back to my chief surgeon analogy. You are trying to guide how Obama is using his scalpel on the patient.
We are trying to get him out of the operating room he has no legal right to be in let alone performing surgery.
This has a very strange posting history.
Why can’t we focus on both, his policies and eligibility? Do you care that he might not be eligible? There is plenty of reasonable doubt that he is not eligible to hold office such as the recent comments by his wife saying they visited his home country of Kenya and the Kenyan Parliament Minister saying he was born there. That is enough to warrant a investigation wouldn’t you think by Congress?
Think about it. This could be the first time in American History that the country has a ineligible Person holding the office of the Presidency and is not constitutionally qualified and is signing all legislation into law that is actually not valid thus harming the United States and its Citizens and future generations of Americans. You say it’s to late to do anything about this but the Constitution must be upheld should it not to protect the sovereignty of the United States from possible enemies foreign and domestic should it not? Yes it should.
America can multitask and can challenge his eligibility and policies at the same time just as we Americans took on and European Theater and Pacific Theater in World War Two which we prevailed victoriously thus saving our democracy. Today we must do the same and you should encourage the challenge instead of ignoring it. Congress goofed on vetting Obama. It is never to late. Presidents come and go. We have had presidents die in office less than a year in office due to being sick but the constitution was upheld thus keeping America steady but this time is different. The Constitution is being ignored and that is something sacred we must not let happen at the slightest.
I honestly really dislike the MSM, they do not tell the truth they get the truth and twist it and then don’t report on other facts all in ordre to protect their investment and their messiah
It’s sickening to got to a tea party say and then know how many were there for the MSM to give a number there not even a quarter of who was even despite the police giving their numbers
It is a shame that people like Beck, Palin, Hannity, Bortz and other ‘so called’ Americans have distanced themselves from WND .. ‘solely’ because the Marxist Left has derided those of us who .. DEMAND this Marxists credentials!
BTW: You Savage haters .. Mike Savage has been hinting at this for the last few months now!
If they didn't post that stuff somebody else would, and I guess they want all the hits they can get.
woodward sounds like a subversive
I’ve never heard of “The Woodward Report” blog.
Maybe “The Woodward Report” blog should contact:
WorldNetDaily.com
http://www.worldnetdaily.com
and ask Mr. Farah that question directly.
FreeRepublic.com does not own nor is it connected to WorldNetDaily.com so any comments to the question posed by “The Woodward Report” blog are pure speculation.
They are a blog pimp, feeding off the high traffic at Free Republic to prop up a rather mediocre personal site.
Hey, I'm just as guilty of doing the same thing from time to time.
That’s what I figured, but that’s ALL he does! No regular comments, and his blog sucks!
;-)
Buahahahahahahahahahahahahah! Welcome to the election issue if the century! Article II of the US COnstitution. Obama does not meet the requirements any more than Arnold Schwartzenegar would, but the treasonous ba$tard ( yes ,. look at Obamas policies, none of them in the best interests of our nation, ALL are calculated to destroy America..............TREASONOUS!)is sitting in the White House as a president?
He needs to go. Show him the door!
obumpa
Well there was Chester Arthur. He became President when the previous President was assassinated. His father is now known to not have been naturalized until 14 years after he was born. Chester lied about his age, lied about at what age his father immigrated from Ireland, and implied that it was direct to the US, but it was via Canada, where Chester's youngest sibling was born. Lots of lies, lots of cover up, including burning his papers. But he missed his father's naturalization certificate, which was unearthed within the last year or so. It's highly likely he was not eligible, and knew it.
