How the Media Lied about Obama’s Birth Records
AIM ^ | April 16, 2010 | Margaret Calhoun Hemenway

Posted on 04/17/2010 1:25:22 PM PDT by opentalk

During the 2008 Presidential campaign, "mainstream" media confused the public over whether Obama ever released any real proof of his claim to being born in Hawaii. The confusion continues. Jonathan Alter, senior editor at Newsweek magazine, told MSNBC's Keith Olbermann on February 20, 2009 that "The Obama campaign actually posted his birth certificate from a Hawaii hospital online."

But Alter lied, since "the Obama campaign" never "actually posted his birth certificate from a Hawaii hospital online." Remarkably, no hospital in Hawaii yet lays definitive claim to be the birthplace of the sitting President.

.. On the FactCheck.org website, the claim is made that "FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate." They only saw and touched the COLB. So FactCheck.org lied about this as well.

Why would Factcheck.org tell so obvious a lie and endanger the site's reputation? In August 21, 2008, when questions about the COLB began to reach critical mass and threatened to enter the public discourse, the mostly pro-Obama TV and newspaper/magazine media needed cover for their collective decision to ignore questions about whether Obama met qualifications for the Presidency set forth in Article II Section I of the Constitution. .. FactCheck.org helped stifle the birth certificate debate.

Under Section 57 of the Territorial Public Health Statistics Act in the 1955 Revised Laws of Hawaii (in effect in 1961), a mailed-in form (without mention of a hospital, doctor, or midwife) signed by only one of Obama's parents (who could have been out of the country or whose signature could have been forged by a grandparent) or grandparents, would be enough to set up a birth record at the Department of Vital Statistics. This meager birth record would then automatically generate newspaper announcements, and also, a computer-generated COLB in 2008.

This is all going to blow up and heads are going to roll

Not likely the media will always blame their errors/screw ups on someone else,they are good at that,just like the rats are.

Besides from the DBM standpoint their only guilt is getting caught,they are marxist/socialists just like the adm. and support most of what they do.

Sorry 777 but we have been over an over Fukinos response here a zillion times and he makes no claims of truth whatsoever which is very strange at best.

BHO was born at Shambala General Hospital near Honolulu Hawaii. FYI Shambala General only allows native Hawaiians to be born there with no exceptions. Within days of his birth Shambala General Hospital was hit by a freak wave that cleared out the maternity ward, killing all the staff and wiping out the master records. A true miracle.

... those of us who see right through obama’s lies and bullsh!t.
That’s okay. Those of us who see him as a neo-fascist thug from kenya know the score.


It's pretty easy to figure out and conect the dots, if you have a discerning mind. I know those of us who have figured it out are surprised that more- most, people don't get it.

"Transparent" has more than one meaning. In this case, it does NOT mean open government; it means their actual motives are transparent if you watch what they do and understand what they are really saying.

If Obama was a stand up cool dude; he would have produced the original already. But this doesn’t appear to be the case. Instead Obama appears to be a weak coward with nothing going for him. I suspect that is the real story of his life. People who have to hide things and lie about their lives are the real losers.

well said , the article also states

If Obama continues to refuse to release his original birth certificate, a reasonable person might assume he was not born in a Hawaiian hospital or at home with assistance of a doctor or midwife.

This is especially true because if Obama was born in a foreign land, his family had a compelling reason to lie about it, given the prestige and benefits of American citizenship.

If at birth, Obama was ineligible for American citizenship of any kind, he cannot be "natural-born." If a person is not at the time of his birth an American citizen, he cannot be a natural-born citizen and is ineligible for the Presidency.

Here is something I like to post from time to time:
 
 
Let them claim there is no long form.
 
1st.  They and everyone has said all along the COLB is an abstract.  That means there is a long form.
 
2nd.  Hawaii already said they have seen Barry O.'s vital records and issued two statements - blah, blah, blah, right?
 
3rd.  Barry O. never had to show his long form BC ever, in his life, for anything?  Like obtaining a passport.  That one document is better than a drivers license.  It saying to the world you are who is contained in the passport document, which is based on an investigation of your background and YOU MUST provide a Birth Certificate as foundational proof of who YOU say you are.  From there the State Department does their background check on you and if you are who you say you are with no ammendments, modifications or whatever to your identity they issue it clean. 
 
Most adults can go to a desk or filing cabinet in his house and produce a birth certificate in a few minutes?
 

Barry O. tried to pass of something that was inconsistent with what the rest of have and know to be a “Birth Certificate”.

The so called COLB has many flaws with it:

  • His father’s race could never have been listed as “African”.  That was not the nomenclature at all, in the 1960’s.  So that begins the suspicion of a fraudulent document.
  •  The COLB is also cropped in many of the pictures that claim it is a scan.  If it is a scan, why not leave the document and size intact?
  • The COLB also has no artifacts such paper folds.  A scan does not make those disappear and in fact will highlight them.
  • The COLB that is scanned mysteriously does not show the Seal of Hawaii.  Why?  Because it was computer generated and not scanned.  Guess they forgot to add that back in.
  • More over, many of us are concerned and want to know why he wasted time producing a document that is inconsistent with what we know a Birth Certificate looks like.

 The best part and even more confusing is why he didn't release any of the three Birth Certificates we know already existed before 2007.

  • His kindergarten records and the BC, that should be there, have mysteriously disappeared.
  • The BC he used to get into college, apply for loans and most definitely used for his passport. That wasn't available?
  • Why couldn't he just present the one he found among his mother's belongings upon her death.   He waxed on and wondered about it and his father in one of his books.  Why not post that one?

Those were most certainly BC’s and not a COLB. There is no reason to create confusion but, for the fact he is hiding something. That something will be discovered, though and this is a long process.

“I discovered this article, folded away among my birth certificate and old vaccination forms, when I was in high school. It’s a short piece, with a photograph of him. No mention is made of my mother or me, and I’m left to wonder whether the omission was intentional on my father’s part, in anticipation of his long departure. Perhaps the reporter failed to ask personal questions, intimidated by my father’s imperious manner; or perhaps it was an editorial decision, not part of the simple story that they were looking for. I wonder, too, whether the omission caused a fight between my parents.”

From “Dreams From My Father” (Pg. 26 last paragraph)

So with all these Birth Certificates lying around, why did he feel it necessary to produce a "Certification of Live Birth" that is inconsistent with a Birth Certificate and wholly lacking all of the information you would find, in you know, a Birth Certificate?

He seemed to have some emotional attachment to the Birth Certificate found among his mother’s belongings.  Why wouldn’t he just slap that one up, for all the world to see?

It seemed important that he found a document that is called a “Birth Certificate” and it is highly unlikely he would not know what one looks like.

Hope no one brings up some house fire that vaporized his BC.  That was in 1972 and none of the documents listed here would have been affected by that “fishy” event.

I’m still looking for where in the U.S. Constitution it says that a president has to be born in a hospital? If Obama was born on Waikiki Beach and if he was delivered by a hippie midwife, he’d still be born in the USA.

It doesn't and you ought to know it. The vital thing is Obama's enablers have all said he was born in either of two Hawaii hospitals, but haven't really serttled on which. None ofo them has contended he was born outside of a birthing center. Here, FTA, is why his Certificate of LIve Birth, that probably claims he was born outside of a birthing center, is so important:

Under Section 57 of the Territorial Public Health Statistics Act in the 1955 Revised Laws of Hawaii (in effect in 1961), a mailed-in form (without mention of a hospital, doctor, or midwife) signed by only one of Obama's parents (who could have been out of the country or whose signature could have been forged by a grandparent) or grandparents, would be enough to set up a birth record at the Department of Vital Statistics. This meager birth record would then automatically generate newspaper announcements, and also, a computer-generated COLB in 2008.

This is the precise point neither you, nor any other Obama enabler, has ever been able to address. All we get is obfuscation, such as that in your post.

I admire your persistence and hope that someday SOON we will get to the bottom of the birth certificate issue.

What other US President never rvealed his true birth stats; his true college records; or his true citizenship before?

Answer: NONE

Obama is a Pretender to the Throne.

art II section 1 requires natural born which 17th century America meant both parents citizens at time of child’s birth.

Rush and other conservative radio programs have been using more articles from other alternate sources.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Rush is part of the cover up! How much time did he spend on Obama’s eligibility? Huh? Less than 5 minutes? Rush gave it just enough time so that if and when it does hit critical mass, Rush can say, “Hey! I did joke about it for 2 minutes!”

I AM DISGUSTED WITH RUSH!!

He is one of two things: A phony or a coward!

If Rush is a phony, when tyranny comes he will sell his talents to the oligarchy. He will eagerly spit shine the jack boot propaganda machine crushing our necks.

If Rush is merely a coward, then he is forgetting or ignoring the following:

** The fascist oligarchy will throw him off the air anyway.
** The fascist oligarchy will carry out their treats against him and his family anyway.
** The fascist oligarchy will take all his money anyway.
** The fascist oligarchy will reveal his deepest darkest secrets anyway.

Rush, in the way he handled Obama’s eligibility, has UTTERLY DESTROYED his brand name for honesty and integrity. I will never trust this slug slime again!

Dr. Fukino doesn't have the authority to determine whether obama is a natural born citizen.

Anne Dunham's marriage to Barack Hussein Obama was invalid as he was still married to his wife in Kenya.

Anne Dunham's age did not qualify her to pass American citizenship to her son as per Hawaii law at that time.

Something tells me that no matter where Obaam was born — he was either illegitimate or there are doubts as to the paternity.

Perhaps Rush just believes it best not to associate with kooks who use phrases like “fascist oligarchy” and “jack booted propaganda machines.” Just maybe.

Obaam: "No mention is made of my mother or me, and I’m left to wonder whether the omission was intentional on my father’s part..."

Of course it was intentional. He'd gotten what he wanted from that young bimbo and he was headed out the door. You, Barry, were an unfortunate accident.

you're right, he has not addressed the eligibility issue directly, but he was not selling the COLB story with the MSM. He did a whole segment on how the Obama mask will come off like Tiger Woods and we will know the truth. He has started calling administration the Obama Regime .

And he accidentally stumbled upon his birth certificate...

Weird coincidence.
