The is one dumb article written by one dumb writer. It does not take a genius to figure out that BO is preparing to release a forged BC because he knows that if he doesn’t he will be excluded from the ballot in several States in 2012.
BO is NOT constitutionally qualified to be POTUS regardless of where he was born because by his own admission his dad was a British/Kenyan citizen. SCOTUS has never defined the term natural born citizen to any category of citizenship other than those born in the country of parents who are citizens of the United States of America.

There is a clear, concise and definitive statement in Vattel’s Law of Nations which was the principal legal treatise used by the Founding Fathers in writing the Constitution.
“The natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens... it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.

In the Venus Case, Justice Livingston, who wrote the unanimous decision, quoted the entire §212nd paragraph from the French edition of Vattels Law of Nations, using his own English, on p. 12 of the ruling:
Vattel is more explicit and more satisfactory on it than any other whose work has fallen into my hands, says:
The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives or indigenes are those born in the country of parents who are citizens. Society not being able to subsist and to perpetuate itself but by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.
The inhabitants, as distinguished from citizens, are strangers who are permitted to settle and stay in the country. Bound by their residence to the society, they are subject to the laws of the state while they reside there, and they are obliged to defend it
Shanks v. Dupont, 28 U.S. 3 Pet. 242 242 (1830)
Sixteen years later the Supreme Court does not cite Vattel per se, but cites the principle of citizenship contained in his definition of a natural born citizen:
If she was not of age, then she might well be deemed under the circumstances of this case to hold the citizenship of her father, for children born in a country, continuing while under age in the family of the father, partake of his national character as a citizen of that country. Her citizenship, then, being prima facie established, and indeed this is admitted in the pleadings
Minor v. Happersett , 88 U.S. 162 (1875)
The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners
United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898)
In this case the Justice Gray cites the decision in Minor vs. Happersett:
At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children, born in a country of parents who were its citizens, became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.
Any country that can make $100 bills like our present ones can fake the BC, including deleting a legit one from the records and substituting BO’s in its place..Heck the CIA fooled the Soviets for years with bogus docs, and that was before the computer digital age...
Agreed, but do you think the average American sheeple, who listen to Katie Couric for the “news”, will give a s&*t about that little wrinkle?
‘Surely Cassius was an honorable man?’
Release for independent forensic examination **all** of the ***best*** evidence that would prove or disprove Obama’s natural born citizenship.
Simple!

No. The communists are trying to head off a qualification fight prior to the next election. I hope it does not work.
Since it is soooooooo straight forward I have a great idea!

Independent forensic examination would require a Grand Jury investigation and everybody who could pull that off seems to be too intimidated to go that route or else it would have already happened by now.
And...Obama and the Democrats will win or lose this in the most important court of all: The people's court of opinion.
Those in the jury of the Court of Public Opinion don’t think like attorneys.

However it is looking like a copy of the long form will be released for public perusal under a Democratic administration in Hawaii while it was blocked from release under the previous Republican administration.
Whomever runs against BO should have his/her BC on an overhead projector during every campaign speech while claiming they are proud to show it and proud to be an American. The candidate should read it out at every stop.
That about sums it up. We'll see what Rush, Hannity, Levin, Beck say next week now that CNBC, Abercrombie, NYT, etc have opened the barn door. FWIW, Megyn Kelly talked about this issue on her show today. She had Rich Lowery on. He said Obama should release his birth certificate. Maybe O'Reilly will pick up on this next week, too.
CNBC=MSNBC (Chrissy Matthews).
Today's article on ABC that went to some length explaining differences btw. COLB and a BC.. NEVER done before. In the past they spent all their time confusing, misdirecting or denying both types of documents. I did not have access to comments section, but wanted to ask ABC what is behind all this..(not that the question would ever be honestly answered) .
