I felt that way too until his response was to post a facsimile of his birth certificate on Kos and the Stop the Smears website. When this turned out to be a fake based on his sisters I suddenly felt like there was too much smoke there not to be a fire.

Now I could not agree that there is “absolutely no reason”. The reason is quite that he has used forged documents to debunk an easily debunked rumor.

Just as Kerry’s lying about his willingness to fully open his service records to public scruiteny told me that he was covering up events in Vietnam, I am now thinking that Obama has something to hide.

I do not consider the issue of his citizenship trivial. I am forced by the FedGov to follow laws on every aspect of my life. I am forced to report every dollar I make each year. I am forced to sign under threat of penalty that I am telling the truth. I am forced to contribute 1/2 my income to supporting the government.

Given all this I feel FULLY JUSTIFIED IN INSISTING THAT PERSONS WISHING TO RUN THIS GIANT MACHINE FULLY COMPLY WITH THE LAW, AND AFFIRMATIVELY PROVE THEY MEET THE MINIMUM LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE JOB THEY ARE SEEKING.

This seems the essence of conservative thinking to me.

But, I can appreciate that this is something that reasonable people can disagee with. I do understand the “it’s a distraction” argument.

I got a seatbelt ticket. It can not possibly be the case that I can be fined for not wearing a seatbelt, but the wanna-be POTUS doesn’t have to even cough up the papers proving he is eligible to run?

We really do have two Americas. Serfs, who are expected to work, follow the rules, and will be swiftly punished for the most minor technical infraction, and MASTERS ala Edwards, Kerry, Obama, the Clintons who can lie, steal, denigrate people who point it out, lie more, create elaborate coverups, and get away with it all.

For once I’d just like to see the high and mighty follow the damned rules. I’d like to see the media do their jobs and actually follow up instead of covering up.

And I would like a groundswell of Conservatives to insist on one set of rules for us all, and a reasonable standard be applied to the high and mighty.

I paid my ticket. Obama can damned well provide his birth certificate to me, Free Republic, the AP and anyone else who wants PROOF of his citizenship.

Again, that is my opinion, but I do understand and respect yours.

This was a posting from Earlier this summer. This Houston Based group made this claim. I am sure their web site is cleaned of item now but I did add the picture and banner to my photobucket collection. You can't make this stuff up.
Why does this group claim that Obama is born in Kenya? Its very strange that they would make this claim. Are they being disrespectful of The Presidential candidate or our new Messiah?

somebody please tell me what this means: KENYAN BORN!

The group is: USAfricaonline.com, first African-owned U.S.-based professional newspaper to be published on the internet, is listed among the world's hot sites by the international newspaper, USAToday.

USAfrica has been cited by the New York Times as America's largest African-owned multimedia company. 8303 SW Freeway, Suite 100, Houston, Texas 77074. Phone: 713-270-5500. Cell direct: 832-45-CHIDO (24436)

Very interesting. Now when will the Obama Prove or disprove this claim .........

Even assuming that the public hasn’t seen a real birth certificate, it would only matter if he was born outside of the U.S. Where else would he have been born? No one has said that he was born in a place other than Hawaii. Presumably people knew his parents around the time of his birth. If there was a story here, we would know by now. Obama is most likely not a changeling who was spirited into Hawaii from foreign parts unknown. Conservatives would do well to drop this and focus on other matters.
