Rush is now a Birther?
Rush Limbaugh show broadcast | 21 Jan. 2011 | self

Posted on 01/21/2011 9:25:22 AM PST by AnalogReigns

Rush just opened his show with a long monologue about Gov. Abercrombie of Hawaii not being able to find O's long form birth certificate.

Brought up the possibility that the lack of a birth cert is real...or, a very elaborate Dem hoax. It sounds like Rush is a closet birther... This is huge for 2012.

If Obama plays that the game, which many Dems hope he doesn't because it could do a lot of damage, the Dems would then have to defend, “If Obama was willing to play that game, what other games is he playing with the American people?”.

I don’t think the FEC has any jurisdiction on this matter. I think they mainly regulate the campaign money and IIRC, Obama refused federal money anyway, which meant he had no real oversight.

When do you think the birth certificate will be found?

As soon as the ink is dry on the UV-aged paper.

"Wasn’t this already passed in AZ and a few other states?"

I think they have only gotten so far as to put forward bills for the respective state legislatures to consider. Passing them will really crimp Obama's style. Even one state that he doesn't resolve will leave irreparable stink on his campaign.

The fishy part is that former director Fukino claimed to have seen an original birth certificate, along with registrar Alvin T. Onaka, Ph.D. Abercrombie obviously cannot show that record to the public and the ledger entry is something he doesn’t want to show either. Let’s keep in mind, he was vowing to show up the so-called birthers by backing up his buddy Obama and now this only came up because a reporter asked him about the status of this mission. Abercrombie sounded very hesitant to talk about it and he carefully parsed how he answered the question. They don’t have jack squat to back up Obama.


And so the excuse for not being able to display it physically is the docs/records must have gotten misplaced when Fukino et al left as the new regime is now coming in.

Or is Jon Klein’s statement going to be the new narrative.

“Last week, CNN’s Lou Dobbs demanded Obama’s original birth certificate. CNN/U.S. President Jon Klein told staffers of Lou Dobbs Tonight that the issue is a “dead” story, Kline told the Los Angeles Times in an interview published Sunday.

In an e-mail, the Times reported, Klein wrote that CNN researchers determined that Obama’s 1961 birth certificate no longer exists because Hawaiian officials had discarded paper documents .”

Don't stifle the birther’s desperate hopes.

It's all they have.

Quickly, read post #9 before you die from your own unfounded smugness.

NOt too long ago John Kerry stated he would direct to have released his military record. We still are waiting.
Because he knows if those records were released he’d be proven to be a fraud.
This “magic negro”, has spent a few millions to hide his true past.
WHTY?????????
Cause he is a fraud.

I HAVE considered it and still do. I’d be as chuffed as anyone if that were the case. But would a Democratic governor be allowed to make a scene about this and then come up empty if it really had the potential to blow up the Obama presidency? I tend to think not.

After catching half an hour of Rush on my lunch break, I think one of his callers made a good point: This could be a ploy to whip conservatives into what can be protrayed as an unhinged frenzy of racism and conspiracy theories just in time for the State of the Union. Imagine the contrasting images, if you will: On one side, Obama, looking composed and presidential as he lays out his plans for the coming year. On the other side, some crazed right-wingers yammering about birth certificates. Do not underestimate the power of imagery, especially for the party that controls the mainstream media.

I’m not saying this is the correct interpretation. I’m saying - exercise caution. Do not play into their hands.

‘“If you can’t accomplish something this basic, what can we trust you to accomplish. This is the Birth Certificate of the Leader of the Free World. Where is it? This isn’t a homeless crack addict making their home under a bridge, after all.”

He’s made the issue into a test of basic competancy for Hawaii. If Hawaii can’t come up with it, Rush can then say, “I guess the birther’s have a point . . .”’

Well said.

I would love it if she just brought hers to the debate and held it up for the camera. Make him look as foolish as he is.

I will tell you what other games he is playing: he makes onerous laws for all of us to live under (healthcare), then he plays hardball with his friends, and if they play by his game (probably with bribes) he allows them to be exempted from the rules. That’s how over 200 companies were exempted from the healthcare law. It’s pretty sneaky.

I do not know what his game is:

1. Coverup and claiming we cannot find anything so give him a pass.

2. Abercrombie is shaking him down for more govt money. Here is the weird part there which may be important. The new GOP House may be able to block (hush) money going to Hawaii

Add to the fact that he has spent well over 1 million dollars to keep not only his birth records, but his college records sealed.....

" We should have a pool going. When do you think the birth certificate will be found? "

It should be ( when and where ) will his birth certificate be found.

Also to note to those who say this is a head fake or a rope-A-dope and will hurt the Republicans in the next election ...

well ?

We heard that bogus propaganda before.
Remember before the last election ?
Well ?

It sure hurt the Republicans in the last election ... no, WAIT !

They ( the Democrats, Liberals ) in a historic shellacking in the last election they got their A$$es handed to them.
Releasing his birth certificate to make the birthers look like fools ?
Wait a minute, they tried that back in 2008 with the fake COLB, and another one coming down the pike ?
Well, if it proves that Obama Sr was his daddy ?
Still ?
How are they going to get around the fake that his daddy was not a US citizen ?
Even if Obama is proved to be a Natural Born Citizen and eligible to be President, then, I am fine with that, even though most of us here disagree with his politics and polices.
Birthers have not lost anything if Obama is proven to be eligible.
But ?
If he is proven not to be eligible ? that they violated the US Constitution and that they ( the MSM, the DNC, Obama's people ) committed fraud, then ? they better lawyer up.

Suppose you and Rush are both correct and there is a concerted effort to further distort this issue and in doing so, make “birthers” look bad. I suggest that it would have a severely negative impact on Obama. How could a Constitutional scholar possibly defend the portrayal of an outright Constitutional crisis in America as fodder used against his opponents to discredit them? This issue certainly isn't to be taken lightly (as it has until now). There most certainly is something rotten in Washington and it (and its wife) have taken up residence on Pennsylvania Avenue.

As I read the speculation on this subject one thing comes to mind; Obama has continually displayed his arrogance over intelligence; as have Pelosi and Reid. They have continually made statements that cause conservative jaws to drop nationwide and do so unchecked by the MSM. I firmly believe that this same arrogance is what Obama has relied on when it comes to the eligibility matter. If enough steam gets behind this issue and it boils over, I believe it will take him down.

I think you need to realize that laws only apply to the little people and Republicans. American citizens appear to have no standing - they are just taxed and their treasury gets looted.

This is called serfdom. The public appears to only care about ball games and reality TV shows. The public is like a clueless boiling frog. Sad.

If Obama couldn’t run for president, then Biden wouldn’t have been his Veep. The whole democrat candidacy was fraudulent as are the laws and Executive Orders signed by Obama. (all in my opinion, of course)

The Obama birth story was begun by Politifact, the political blog at the St. Petersburg Times in Florida.

They were researching an email rumor about Obama's name, and searched public records to debunk the rumor. It was only when they reported that the Obama campaign refused to provide the newspaper with a birth certificate that the "birther" scandal began.

From April 18, 2008: No Muhammed or Mohammed in Obama's name

We have now searched every public record we can access and find nothing to support the notion that Obama has a second middle name of "Muhammed" or "Mohammed."

We have a copy of Obama's marriage certificate from the Cook County Bureau of Vital Statistics in Illinois.

We looked at Obama's driver's license record in the state of Illinois...

We searched property records for Obama...

We also found Obama's registration and disciplinary record with the Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois.

We tried to obtain a copy of Obama's birth certificate, but his campaign would not release it and the state of Hawaii does not make such records public.
