If this weren’t such a complete lie, the leader of a transparent administration would be providing all kinds of proof. Not just a COB, but applications made to schools, census records and any other documents from that era that would support his position. But, nothing has ever been as far from the truth as the designs this administration has on the American People.
You have about as much chance of reaching that goal as you would trying to get Bill Clinton to practice chastity.
The MSM and Obama scampaign left falsehoods out there to discredit the bits that don't fit.
They did this with regards to religious upbringing as well.
His Fight The Smears site said that it was an absolute falsehood that he was a "muslim". Except he was enrolled in koranic studies classes (a fact he cites in his own autobiography) and can still recite "flawlessly" the islamic call to prayer.
Talk was given to his being a Christian. Except I didn't hear when/where he was baptized.
I know he went to the former muslim Jeremiah Wright's "church", except whenever he didn't, for 20 years. And he's been to his grandmother's funeral (at a Unitarian church) and Easter Sunday in DC but no other services that I've heard about since the 2008 campaign.
However rather than tackle these inconsistencies, FTS said that it was claimed he went to a Madrassa and was sworn in on a koran (Ellison was).
Easier to discredit all questions by planting some easy hoax targets.
You may need to duck and cover, because there seem to be a lot of people who disagree with your assessment of yesterday's statement.
It seems like O’s shills have turned back up in some other posts here. They are claiming the doctor clerk in Hawaii is proof about Obama.
The MSM is in full support Obama mode on this and nationalized healthcare. The GOP willing to cut a healthcare deal and throw Obama and the Blue Dogs a lifeline shows the GOP is in sellout mode.
The MSM has discredited itself. They are the willing and useful tool of government of the USA. They are its whores, and it’s plain for anyone to see.
The only way to do that is to catch them fabricating news items (see keywords jasonblairsyndrome, fauxtography, fakephotos, etc.) and even then it didn't stop Dan Rather from proclaiming that the evidence he trumped up was "fake BUT ACCURATE!".
And at that point the journalist (and network) have been discredited. But what would be there to restore trust in the media as honest or objective?
The media isn’t a tool of the government of the USA. Their allegiance is to the Democrat Party, not our Constitutionally founded nation.
There has been collusion between Democrats and the media on a number of key “scandal” stories in the past 6 years including the release of the Abu Ghraib photos, the hoaxed National Guard memos, Foleygate (DNC and MSM held more communications than the GOP did, held them earlier, sat on them throughout the 2006 election year and then proclaim the GOP “knew and did nothing”).

No, you don’t have to catch them fabricating stories. All you have to do is show that they’re liars.
Do I have to explain what NewsBusters tries to do? The problem they have is that, until recently, they haven’t caught on how to do things in an effective way that reaches a wider audience. They still don’t have it 100%, but it’s clear they realize how they should be doing things. (That refers to the way their site is structured and the like, not so much the way they write their posts.)
MSM coverage after yesterday’s announcement will consist mainly of making fun of birthers. This is a catch-22, there is no documentary evidence that Obama was ineligible, and Obama controls the release of the best evidence. He does not have to incriminate himself, nor does he have to clear himself. Also, he has now been given cover by the state of Hawaii, rightly or wrongly, and there is no way to check the statement from yesterday.
Game, set, match.
UNLESS: Documentary evidence can be found somewhere else.
You’re right about some of that. However, the point of the post is that it’s still possible to point out that for eight months many MSM reporters were lying about this issue.
And, you can do that even if you think the “birthers” are nuts. All you have to do is be able to tell the truth and compare it to what those MSM reporters said.
They are liars.
Barack Obama hired the man (and personally sent him a signed letter thanking him) who co-opted the phrases "OBEY" and "THIS IS YOUR GOD" from John Carpenter's "They Live". Interesting film about how there are subconcious messages of control, submission, and obedience lurking behind the common media.
What did Barry Soetoro hire this man to do (Shepherd Fairey, not John Carpenter), come up with the HOPE and CHANGE street wheatposter campaign.
If only the public could see.
He claimed "transparency" in his administration. I would urge all future applicants for passports and social security cards to rject the notion of providing a birth certificate. Just find a witness that will say you have one.
Press Secretary Gibbs claimed that even DNA evidence wouldn't persuade birthers.
I don't think you are likely to find baby DNA stains in a hospital 48 years after the fact. They tend to clean up birthing rooms. Biowaste and all that.
The claim made by Gibbs doesn't hold water. It was his justification for not releasing the paperwork.
The Obama administration doesn't want this to go away, they like the controversy. It's worth the million dollars just to tie up resources.
But it still doesn't change the fact that he's hiding basic details that in no way compromise security or privacy.
I've seen copies of Paul McCartney's birth certificate for sale.
Cue the Marx Brothers all trying to use Maurice Chevalier's stolen passport to get off the ocean liner in Monkey Business.
“And, you can do that even if you think the birthers are nuts. All you have to do is be able to tell the truth and compare it to what those MSM reporters said.”
I don’t think birthers are nuts. I think they have no real evidence to back up their assertion that Obama was ineligible to run and become president. I wish they had some good evidence that would stand up in a court of law. I would be a birther too if I saw some good evidence that Obama is not a natural born citizen.
As for your second sentence, I accept your point with this aside from me:
The MSM has a much bigger bullhorn than the rest of us. They have fooled some of the people for a long time. I do wish you success in your endeavors. I think the number of people who are suspicious of the MSM is growing, so inroads are being made into their credibility.

It seems since the election of Obama, the MSM has sunk to new levels of pro-government zeal. What they will cover, what they won’t cover, those whom they will destroy, those whom they will not...it’s all very telling.
