Obama can end the "birthers" controversy in one single day by releasing the original documents, but for some inexplicable reason he refuses, and the love-struck media never ask him why...
Trust but verify.
-- Ronald Reagan
It's good practice to take a person at his word until someone shows you proof he is lying.
Barack Obama says he was born in Hawaii, and since no one has shown any proof he was born in Kenya or elsewhere, it's OK to conclude he was born in Hawaii.
Sure his grammar school records show that he was enrolled as an Indonesian Muslim, but some people will say anything to get their kid in the right school. It doesn't really answer the question.
It's OK though for others not to use my deferential standard and continue to question whether Obama was born in Hawaii. We aren't talking about a 12-year-old qualifying to play Little League here. There is a Constitutional mandate that the President be a natural-born citizen, and if Obama is not one, he certainly will have committed the biggest fraud since the White Sox threw the World Series.

Yeah but Auntie Zeuitini or whoever she is got to stay here by lying about Kenya being after her. Her OTHER nephew is PM in Kenya. Yeah. They’re out to get her.

Obama’s pro-Muslim words
By Grant Swank

Let Barack Hussein Obama speak for himself:
“The person who made me proudest of all though was my (half-brother), Roy. He was converted to Islam.” (DREAMS OF MY FATHER)
“In Indonesia, I spent two years at a Muslim school. . .I studied the Koran.” (DREAMS OF MY FATHER)
“Lolo (Obama’s stepfather) followed Islam. . .I looked to Lolo for guidance.” (AUDACITY OF HOPE)
” I will stand with them (Muslims) should the political winds of war shift in any ugly direction. . .” (AUDACITY OF HOPE)
“We are no longer just a Christian nation. We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.” (INAUGURAL SPEECH)
Thanks for the ping. I remember reading those quotes on here before.
Thanks STARWISE.
Ultimately, the responsibility falls upon the electors to verify that they are voting for an eligible candidate, and upon the members of Congress to verify that the counted votes are cast for eligible candidates. Both the Electoral College and the Congress were apparently satisfied that there was no problem in this case.
Nope. The election of the Vice President is separate from the election of the President.
Shut them up? Obama want the Birthers to shout from the rooftops, the better to tar all conservatives and Republicans with the broad brush of crackpottery.
LOL indeed. God the Father could descend from Heaven in full view of the entire nation and proclaim that the Birthers are wrong, and their response would be "Everybody knows that the Devil can throw his voice."
He doesn't need to spring a trap -- just sit back and let the circus go on, basking in the knowledge that it makes all of his opponents look a bit clownish.
Oh, by all means. Be it far from us to ever question The One. Why, that would just be racist!
Just who are you afraid of being thought badly of? Liberals? Progressives? Democrats? The MSM? You think they'll think better of us, if we go into agreement with their unsupported arguments that Obama is a legal president - when the overwhelming evidence suggests that he is not?
Do you believe that it's more honorable to ignore all of the evidence, and compromise with what you clearly see before your very own eyes?
Do you believe that any US president would allow such a boiling controversy to continue over his root bona fides if he had the power to stop it by simply releasing the most basic of documents?
To ignore such logic is the real crackpottery, my friend.
Voters.
You're ignoring the basic foundation of this controversy. It's reasonable, and totally within the people's rights to ask their president to show them his legal bona fides to hold office, when such a huge cloud of doubt resides around him.
The people aren't responsible for this controversy. Obama is. He could have nipped this entire thing in the bud when it first surfaced, if he'd simply shown the nation his original long-form birth certificate. He didn't, and he continues to refuse to do so, which puts the onus for all of this on him.
Anyone who accepts his argument that he's a legal president, while he simultaneously refuses to show this simple document, is succumbing to the perpetration of a fraud against them, and is a first-class fool.
Voters.
Voters who are so weak minded that they'll jump ship from an entire political movement because some are asking this most basic question, are probably not going to vote GOP anyway.
If you've seen the most recent polling on what Americans think of Obama, it's pretty clear that a great deal of suspicion about his origins and qualifications for office exist in the minds of average Americans.
The bc controversy has been raging since before Obama won the election, and despite what danger you imagine it represents to the conservative patriot cause, the numbers are steadily increasing for our side - not decreasing. Obviously, the outspokenness of the "birthers" has had NO effect on our forward progress.
Obama and the Democrats have lost support across every demographic in the nation, while the birth certificate controversy has grown. And this has occurred, even with the MSM blowing the "crackpot conspiracy" horn, day and night.
