Decent article suggesting the media should be all over Obama’s original long form birth certificate issue.
This is an important article that calls into question the journalistic credentials of the American press. It seems highly unlikely, however, that Hawaii destroyed original documents. Indeed, we know Hawaiian officials have confirmed recent access to O’s BC.
The biggest part of this shell game is that O and his operatives have convinced most of America that we have the burden of proving O is unqualified.
It is exactly the opposite, O has always had the burden of proving he is qualified.
He acknowledged that burden when he signed or arranged for his agent(s) to sign each state’s primary election certification that he was qualified/eligible for the office of the president. Such execution was made, of course, under penalty of perjury.
Later, the January 8, 2009 Joint Session of Congress was called solely for the purpose of assuring America that the election was conducted properly. O had the burden of satisfying any request by the Congress in that Session to demonstrate his citizenship (see 20th Amendment, “…if the President elect shall have failed to qualify…” as well as 3 USC 15).
Every liberal I have argued with has conceded that O was obligated to produce, or to authorize Hawaii to produce, a verifiably authentic BC if the Congress had required such prior to accepting the work of the Electoral College.
Should the Congress have requested that document? Without queston, particularly in the face of the substantial pre-election concern and outrage transmitted to Congress over the fact that there was absolutely nothing in the public record that demonstrated O was a U.S. citizen.
He may be qualified, but there is no reason to believe so and Congress had a duty to the nation to act on the issue.
Which is why I have previously stated that every single Republican in the Congress was seduced into going limp and sitting on their hands during the Session.

Yes it is. (Decent article). Too bad it is from Australia and not from the MSM in the US. Our MSM continues to be Pravada like and in journalistic malpractice mode.
