Seven reasons why Barack Obama should make the birth certificate controversy go away

By Michael Bresciani

The question of whether Barack Obama was actually born in Kenya thus disqualifying him to run as a presidential candidate will not go away. It is like the little mushrooms that appear every morning under the tree, they keep coming back. What should the President Elect do?

It is not fair to label those who want answers as racists, disillusioned right wingers, conspiracy nuts or any other convenient appellation thereby asking them to simply shut up. Lawsuits filed to require that an official vault document be produced have come from African Americans, democrats and a host of constitutionally concerned citizens.

In fact one You Tube offering about the matter garnered 750,000 views alone and the total viewing of videos and articles on the subject is somewhere near three million to date.

The problems with the birth certificate offered on the extreme left website the Daily Kos and a few other internet sites are too many to ignore. The short list is first that the document is not signed. Secondly it has no seal. Third is that the security border doesn't match similar documents from the same time period. Other objections are that the race of Obama's father is listed as African. In the early sixties the State of Hawaii listed African Americans as Negroes.

What is missing from the document is the doctor's signature and physical characteristics at birth that every original birth certificate reveals.

Some interested party's have submitted the internet document to the scrutiny of Adobe and graphic experts who all agree the document is highly questionable or a complete fraud. Is it? Who knows at this point? What is far more intriguing is the resistance being thrown at uncovering the true vault document. This is what is spawning suspicion and doubt.

Attorney Philip Berg has filed a writ of certiorari that should force the President Elect, the DNC and Co-Defendants to produce the document in accordance with law. Ambassador Alan Keyes has pending suits and a total of seventeen others are submitting their quests to various levels of state courts.

Here are the important reasons President Elect Obama should cooperate and put the whole matter to bed as quickly as possible.

1. Because he can. With a simple request to the Hawaii Bureau of Vital Statistics he can quash all doubt and get on with his administration.
   
   

2. He will remove the suspicions of millions of Americans, republicans, democrats and independents alike.
   
   

3. If ignored it could cause a constitutional crises unlike anything ever seen in this country. It would make questions of chads and incomplete voting cards look like a kindergarten problem by contrast.
   
   

4. It will indicate that Obama means business when he takes the oath of office and declares that he will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.
   
   

5. It will give confidence to many of his opponents who may not agree with all his policies, but want to know that he is a completely honest man with the country's best interest in mind.
   
   

6. It would put to rest the assertion that he is an elitist. All Americans must submit proper documentation of birth to get Social Security cards, driver's license, security clearance and passports. He should be willing to carry out the first and the least of all his campaign promises contained in the slogan 'Yes, we can.' In America we can and according to law 'we must.'
   
   

7. We will all sleep better at night!
   
   

It is a surprisingly simple matter to make it all go away but it is presently entrenched in court battles and suspicion. In a full page ad in The Washington Times Nov. 17, 2008 three questions are asked. Was Barack Obama born in Kenya? Is he really a citizen of Indonesia? Does the constitution still matter?

Good questions, we're listening.

As a footnote even Jesus Christ was questioned about who he was and where he came from. "We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is." (Jn 9:29) His own sisters and brothers warned him about doing things openly. "For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, show thyself to the world. (Jn 7:4)

I love your tagline.

[patriot08]

LOL Wouldn't that be sweet?

[doc1019]

Gee, did I say all that, or were you just looking for a place to put your comments?

[Yaelle]

Bump for some very good reasons why this must happen.

Mister President-Elect, are you one of us? Stand with us and show us that you are qualified to do what you did. Yes, you can.

[wastedyears]

LOL Thanks, I changed it yesterday.

Dan Rather didn’t lose his job because he ran the National Guard story. He lost it because he stubbornly stuck to the story after it had been shown to be a forgery. if he simply said that he had been taken in, and apologized, the whole thing would have blown over.

No one is asking Rush or Sean or anyone else to say that the COLB on-line is a forgery. All they need to do is to say that several apparently credible experts have said that it is a forgery, many blogs have said that it is a forgery, and that numerous people believe it to be a forgery.

I would personally add that the arguments convince me absolutely that it is a forgery. I can see no alternative explanation. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a real birth certificate proving that Obama is American—we just have never seen it, and Obama refuses to release it.

They might also point out that a written school record has been found in Indonesia, and released by a news service (originally an AP photograph, I think) saying that Barry Soetero, AKA Barack Obama, was a Muslim and an Indonesian citizen at the time he was enrolled in the school.

Also, if there is really no problem about Obama’s birth records, THEN WHY IS HE REFUSING TO RELEASE THEM—not on line on sites that no one can trust, but in officially certified hard copies seen by credible witnesses and sworn to by Hawaiian officials?

That’s all anyone can say. If this is a lot of fuss about nothing, then RELEASE THE OFFICIAL RECORDS.

This would not require any kind of falsification or even possible falsification of the kind that Rather was guilty of.

Stopped reading right there. A few minutes waiting on the line is “a lot of trouble?” I think the WRIF is playing a joke on us.
...........
“a lot of trouble” are my words not WRIF.

It took maybe 6 minutes to get through to the ambassador and then another 6 minutes to get to the important questions.

Doesn’t sound like you listened to either the WRIF tape of the discussion with the Kenyan ambassador.

What a great pic! Kudos!

I would seriously go to a bar, get drunk, then make fun of all the Liberals there while I’m swaying back and forth

I think I might do that as well. And the only alcohol I've had in the past 10 years or so were a sort of Cuba Libre, made with diet Pepsi and coconut rum (it was good) to celebrate my older daughter's graduation from Law School, and then a very small glass of champagne at my 40th high school reunion last summer. The only time I've been drunk was at my pre-commissioning party.

Even then I wasn't so drunk that I couldn't answer the trick questions correctly. However I was drunk enough to embarrass my wife when I got home, and her grandparents were making an unexpected visit. :) Grandpa thought it was funny, Grandma, bless her heart, was scandalized.

[patriot08]

lol

[El Gato]

He already got elected . I vomit every day. He was born in Kenya and EVVVERYBODY KNOWS IT

Elections do not negate the requirements of the Constitution. We are, at this point, still a Republic. If EVVVERYBODY KNOWS IT, it should not be hard to prove, should it?

[TruthWillWin]

No one is asking Rush or Sean or anyone else to say that the COLB on-line is a forgery. All they need to do is to say that several apparently credible experts have said that it is a forgery, many blogs have said that it is a forgery, and that numerous people believe it to be a forgery.

Good point. And we need them to ask and insist that the MSM asks that Obama provide his long form BC to make this issue go away and show that he really was born in Hawaii.

[Concho]

Only he wasnt really born in Hawaii, he was really born in Kenya. I pray to see him deported.

The down side is that the inner cities are going to riot, and you may need to shoot your way out if you are unfortunate enough to live in a city.

[TruthWillWin]

Only he wasnt really born in Hawaii, he was really born in Kenya.

That's what I'm going to assume unless he provides the long form BC showing otherwise.

obumpa

I’m thinking more like not being able to remember what happened drunk.

Obama has already made public two accounts of his birth certificate. One, is his published biography where he describes in detail the contents of his Hawaii birth certificate. Two, is his pre-election public website publishing an (arguably) official Hawaii record of his birth certificate. It seems to me these two public self-disclosures, truthful or not, greatly reduce his claim of privacy (vs public record) of his vault copy Hawaii Certificate of Live Birth.

(My appologies for any mulitple pings to other Freepers)

[berdie]

The electoral college hasn’t voted yet.

He can use whatever phoney “Office Of The President Elect” symbol he wants to. But he is not even that..yet.

[El Gato]

I’m thinking more like not being able to remember what happened drunk.

You don't want to go that far. You'd want to remember the wailing, gnashing of teeth, and especially the exploding heads, of the libs. Oh and their reaction to your maniacal laughing too.

[southernindymom]

wow, can’t believe it.
