WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A vocal group of conspiracy theorists known as "birthers" are riling the White House with their persistent claim that Barack Obama is not an American citizen and therefore ineligible to be president. The claim that the United States' first African-American president was born in Kenya, not Hawaii, first emerged during his presidential campaign, but it has garnered more media attention in the summer "silly season," a traditionally slow news period when many Americans are on vacation. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs looked exasperated at his briefing on Monday when a reporter asked him, "Is there anything you can say that will make the birthers go away?"

There could be forgery and extensive perjury involved which would make it easier to remove Obama from office.
Still stickin’ up for The One, eh truman?
Well, at least you’re consistent.
Well, that might explain his suspected forged Selective Service registration form that they advertised.
I had that same thought today, but soon realized that she probably won't go there. It's our job to force Obama to release his bc, or suffer mounting and unrelenting pressure to do so.
One thought I had, is if you could send a scan of your long form bc to a website who would then print it on a t-shirt with the words, "Here's my Birth Certificate, Obama. Where's yours?"
The MSM and the Obama administration continue to spout the lie that they've "already released Obama's birth certificate."
Naturally, they're not admitting to the public that Obama has only released a secondary birth document called a Certification of Live Birth, and NOT a Certificate of Live Birth, which are two very different documents.
The sheeple that watch MSM news are apparently so ill informed on this subject, that they continue to buy into this smokescreen.
They'll never understand that Obama is hiding something until they understand the basic differences between these two types of documents. I dare say that even a lot of reporters in the news media still don't understand the basics of this.
Why, yes.
The President can have Hawaii unseal the relavent documents and make them available to the public.
All of them.
Done.
It doesn’t matter if the state of Hawaii actually destroyed those paper documents. They would have all been scanned into the state’s computers, so that exact digital facsimiles could be created later, at will.
The CNN exec who first made this claim didn’t think it all the way through, before throwing up that ridiculous cover for Obama.
He’s essentially claiming that if you were born in Hawaii, that you can no longer obtain a copy of your long form birth certificate, but can only obtain a Certification of Live Birth. This is as stupid a statement as I’ve ever heard any left-wingnut make.
On top of all that, there’s been no statement from the Hawaiian state government corroborating this report. Not that I’ve seen, anyway.
Can you provide the language in the U.S. Constitution that specifically defines a natural born citizen? Quoting something that one of the framers said or wrote doesn’t count.
Those documents will eventually get subpoenaed to court.
Agree also. They are hiding something that means something.
Also I think the issue has flushed out a government-centric partisanship, e.g. Mike Castle, CNN, that extends well beyond Barack Obama as its untouchable Savior.
Especially, we demand to see Obama’s original long form birth certificate.
The word of Hawaii officials might be challenged in court since the more citizens they have, they more federal funding they get. They still have not given a consistent answer on Obama’s birth records.
What various public officials say to reporters is of little consequence, legally. It's all a bunch of noise.
Only the actual, original long form birth certificate, presented to a court of law, and inspection by certified experts (and the public!) will shut this controversy down.
I demand that this happen!

Obamassiah is not a NATURAL BORN American citizen. If he were he would have disclosed his birth certificate MONTHS AGO saying "SEE I TOLD YOU SO!" instead of spending well over a MILLION dollars in legal fees in order to prevent a $10 piece of paper from ever seeing the light of day. No one acts like this unless they have something VERY BIG TO HIDE!
Right you are. When someone hides something, they have something to hide.
