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.

She will be singing a different song when she is placed under oath and confronted with contrarian facts on those VITAL RECORDS that she will be forced to bring with her. She will be sweating bullets
You have no idea whether copy of Obama’s Certification of Live Birth and a sworn affidavit from Dr. Fukino hasn’t already been submitted with the legal briefs in every lawsuit where Obama was named as a defendant (which is just a few of the eligibility suits; most of them sue government officials. e.g. “Donofrio v Wells”, “Ankeny v Daniels,” or “Lightfoot v Bowen”).
Since 69 Obama eligibility lawsuits have failed thus far and none have succeeded perhaps as soon as judges and Justices read that Fukino affidavit, they throw the case out. Who knows?
What I do know for sure is that the score is currently Obama: 69/”Birthers”: 0.
And what you do know for sure ain't much.
There is no score because team Obama is the one evading a Court contest. Team Obama is the one afraid of appearing in Court. Team Obama is hiding in the locker room hoping for rain outs from referees who are like their positions more than they like doing their jobs.
So in the meantime, in the Court of Public Opinion, it is Birthers 61, Obama 39 -- and that is the score that will really count.

As Judge Royce Lamberth, an appointee of Ronald Reagan and the hand-picked judge that birther attorney Orly Taitz wanted to hear her quo warranto lawsuit against Obama, said just last week: This is one of several such suits filed by Ms. Taitz in her quixotic attempt to prove that President Obama is not a natural born citizen as required by Constitution. See U.S. CONST. art. II, § 1. This Court is not willing to go tilting at windmills with her.—Judge Royce Lamberth, Chief Judge US District Court for the District of Columbia
If Judge Lamberth wasn’t such a fine conservative gentleman he might have said: “Take your frivolous lawsuit and stick it where the sun don’t shine.”
thanks...
Thanks for the ping. Over 23,000 views now! Glad WND picked up on this story and clip!
Are you a paid Obot, or one of those volunteers that Obama used to talk about?
bump to video
He’s probably a volunteer hoping that his efforts will earn him a paid position but he is in for some sore disappointment.

I appreciate your refreshing honesty.
do you hate America as much as Obama, or is about the money?
You have sounded angrier in the last couple of weeks. Is that because of the demands being put on you for what they're paying you. Is it worth it??? At what price will you sell your soul???
#2 AND #4. He is not Barak Obama. He is Barry and his race is listed as white and THAT is what is at stake. His legacy as the first black elected as President. He isn’t and we haven’t yet.
This will all come out though... and soon we will know... but they hope to have it “written” in stone and part of the text books before then.
PLease read the referenced comment. He admits he’s a paid 0bama hireling.
It is certianly no suprise little Jammmieeee is a paid Obot as it spams these threads.
. . . . Check out # 89. jamese777 admits he's a paid 0bama hireling.
There is no doubt he is a SP, ... but, ... but, ... how do we know he is telling the truth? Perhaps he is enhancing his résumé. (Color us skeptical of anything posted by a SP.) (SP = Site Pest.)

If true, can't say I'm surprised.
Question is, does such a "member" fit in with the spirit of FR?
Thanks for clarifying. I always forget and will again :-)
jamesse777, non sequitur, Drew68 and parsiful are all Obama hirelings?
