There’s Something Deeply Wrong with the Birth Certificate Narrative
Horowitz's News Real ^ | 1/24/11 | Bookworm

Posted on 01/24/2011 11:09:07 AM PST by pissant

Something doesn’t add up here:

Back in June 2008, the Obama campaign released a digitally scanned short form of his Hawaii birth certificate. When people questioned the scanning, a few carefully chosen media types were invited to attest to the underlying long-form document’s authenticity, including FactCheck.org:

FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false. We have posted high-resolution photographs of the document as “supporting documents” to this article. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A. just as he has always said.

FactCheck included pictures of a real document purporting to be a genuine long-form Hawaiian “Barack Hussein Obama” birth certificate.

Recently, the new Hawaii governor announced that he’s now going to make publicly available to all Americans, not just a few media partisans, the original long form birth certificate. One problem: He says that he can’t find the darn thing. Fortunately for Abercrombie’s abortive effort, the New York Times has reminded him of the same law Obama relied on in 2008 to keep his originalbirth certificate out of sight: only the birth child himself can release a Hawaiian birth certificate.

I believe a legitimate argument for two citizen parents AND born in the country could be made, but I am not a proponent.

Here's a reference in the Foreign Affairs manual that makes me question whether or not a citizen at birth is the equivalent of a natural born citizen.

7 FAM 1131.6-2 Eligibility for Presidency
(TL:CON-68; 04-01-1998)
a. It has never been determined definitively by a court whether a person who acquired U.S. citizenship by birth abroad to U.S. citizens is a natural-born citizen within the meaning of Article II of the Constitution and, therefore, eligible for the Presidency.

b. Section 1, Article II, of the Constitution states, in relevant part that ―No Person except a natural born Citizen...shall be eligible for the Office of President.

c. The Constitution does not define "natural born". The ―Act to establish an Uniform Rule of Naturalizatio, enacted March 26, 1790, (1 Stat. 103,104) provided that, ―...the children of citizens of the United States, that may be born ... out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens: Provided that the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in U.S. Department of State Foreign Affairs Manual Volume 7 - Consular Affairs 7 FAM 1130 Page 9 of 81 the United States.

d. This statute is no longer operative, however, and its formula is not included in modern nationality statutes. In any event, the fact that someone is a natural born citizen pursuant to a statute does not necessarily imply that he or she is such a citizen for Constitutional purposes.

While I tend to agree with the assessment that there are only two types of citizens, those born citizens and those later naturalized, that last statement makes me question whether or not the FF intended a "super-class" (for lack of a better description) of natural born citizens born on American soil to two American citizen parents. About that "super-class", there can be no doubts and no arguments. About all other "classes," one can argue for and against their being natural born citizens.

Thanks.

Yes, it is.

And it is an accurate term as I applied it, unlike most cases where that word is used.

There is an English family who’s name is literally “Bastard”. I have often wondered is that is where the word originated. (that family does not pronounce the name as we do).

I noticed that in this letter or memo Barack Obama, Sr. acknowledges his wife in Kenya, but does not mention Stanley Ann or Barack, Jr. Do you think that this could indicate that Sr. truly IS NOT the father?

No.

Why wouldn’t he mention his family in Hawaii?

1. He doesn't want to acknowledge to his friend and benefactor in Kenya that he has another wife.
2. His father had already expressed disapproval about this.
3. He never seemed to take his relationship with or obligations to this second wife and family very seriously and obviously intended to leave them behind when he traveled to Harvard and later back to Kenya.

Expanding the 'naughty obama mamma' photo reveals the album cover under the portable phonograph. It is Nat King Cole. I think the album was released in 1957. I'm still researching the make and model of the portable phonograph.

“He’s toying with us. It’s not that he’s not a native born American; it’s that he’s a guy with a stupid secret who is using it to make the Right look even more stupid.” ( from the article)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If Obama is doing this as a political dirty trick to make conservatives look stupid then, Obama is a first class unfeeling jerk and psychopath!

1) LTC Lakin, a decorated military surgeon, sits in prison. Major Cook lost his security clearance, because Obama wants to play a political joke on his opponents?

2) Obama wasted the time and resources of TAX PAID attorneys as they traveled around the nation to prevent the release of COMMON documents? Obama misused these TAX PAID attorneys at a time when plots were being laid to blow up Times Square, bomb a Pittsburgh marathon, explode a passanger plane out of the sky over Detroit, and **KILL** our soldiers on their bases and recruiting centers. Obama did this for a political dirty trick.

UNBELIEVABLE! That alone is reason to impeach and convict him.

Well if they wanted a “super” natural born citizen, one might think they would defined it further than what the clear definition of words would entail.

Via the clear meaning of words is seems to me that a “natural born citizen” would be one who, according to natural law, was a citizen at birth. Natural law recognizes allegiance based on BOTH blood and soil.

I find it increasingly unlikely that there will ever be a SCOTUS decision that defines any American citizen at birth as anything other than a “natural born citizen” for Constitutional purposes.

But I WOULD like there to be some clarity around this matter.

And I WOULD like there to be a mechanism to discern the actual eligibility of a Presidential candidate, and it is hard to believe we have been on the “honor system” for over 200 years in regards to Presidential eligibility!

“Gibbs was discussing what Obozo will touch on in the SOTU”

Great. So Obozo will do some kind of mea culpa and sob during the SOTU. That should get him off the hook with the SRM at least.

"My understanding is that it’s haram (forbidden) for a Muhmmedan to name his son after himself."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Typical Muzzie logic:

"My name is Muhammad."

"My father's name is Muhammad."

"My grandfather's name is Muhammad."

"My great-grandfather's name is Muhammad."

" My son's name is Muhammad."

"Insha'lla -- I named him after my grandfather. All is halal."

All by the book*, don't you see...

Pinging just a few of you to Sven’s comment. Maybe you’ve already seen this and I’m late to the party.

Sven, your comments are always extremely interesting. I hope to read more of them and eventually see the proof.

The Soetoro adoption was annulled in 1971 when Obama Sr. complained he, the paternal parent, was not properly notified of adoption proceeding.

A Hawaii family ruled the Soetoro adoption was annulled and a new birth certificate was to be created, i.e. the COLB shown by FactCheck.org.

So, when someone announces they’ve seen the original vital records for Barack Hussein Obama II, they are referring the the COLB created by court order in 1971.

Ping to # 4.

Mojitojoe, thanks for bringing this comment to our attention.

Sven, does that mean that when the family court in Hawaii annulled the adoption, the kid's legal name went back to Obama, without further action necessary?

The question that ought to come before that one is, "do we have an actual court record of Obama, Sr. seeking to annul the Lolo adoption?"

I fear that by the time we sort this all out Julio Iglesias Jr. will be POTUS, and my grandson will be drafted into the Venezuelan Army.
