In the outer cosmos of the blogosphere, the presidential election isn’t over.
Barack Obama, now busily forming his administration, isn’t just the wrong person to lead the nation, claim Web sites such as America Must Know and Right Side News.
He is, they contend, constitutionally ineligible to be president.
The argument is over his place of birth — Hawaii, if you accept statements by Hawaiian officials, his 1961 birth notice in a Honolulu newspaper and a certified document his campaign obtained 18 months ago.
Still, legions of anti-Obama bloggers are so convinced he was born in Kenya that they’ve filed more than a dozen lawsuits nationwide.
They cite the Constitution’s requirement that presidents be "natural born citizens." They want the election declared void if Obama doesn’t deliver an original birth certificate — subject to an inspection by forensic experts — to be sure.
One litigant’s U.S. Supreme Court filing is scheduled to be discussed in private by the justices later this week.
Justice Clarence Thomas distributed to his colleagues a request that the high court weigh in before the Electoral College makes Obama’s victory official later this month. The justices may decide in a Friday conference whether to hear or cast away a lawsuit dismissed in a lower court and appealed by a retired New Jersey lawyer named Leo C. Donofrio, who also has his own Web site.
Yet another site, PeoplesPassions.org, beckons the president-elect: “If you’re eligible, show us the proof!”
Obama's campaign tried to settle all doubts months ago when it digitally scanned for all Web browsers to view a “certification of live birth,” signed by Hawaii’s registrar of vital statistics and carrying the state’s seal.
The skeptics response of "fake" prompted Brooks Jackson, who directs the nonpartisan FactCheck.org, to call the entire affair “the stupidest, silliest thing.”

Because it matters and the MSM will not touch it
The truth is dead, the system is dead, lies will rule, justice will die.
The fact that Pravda has already questioned the validity of treaties and agreements Zero might sign tells me we’ve got serious trouble brewing if he doesn’t clear this up and fast.
Apparently his pride is far more important than global stability.
Thanks God, they didn’t mention Free Republic in connection with this ...issue.
I think I have figured out the answer:
Here it is folks, you heard it here first...
The religion is listed as Muslim on his BC. That would have cost him the election, and it might very well get him killed by the rag-heads. That’s the only answer that makes sense to me.
Now even Hawaiian officials are shutting up.
Including, apparently, his grandmother who claims to have been at his birth...in Kenya, but perhaps she is just evidencing the Obama trait of being a liar.
Why does 0bama continue to pay lawyers instead of just showing his birth certificate? 0bama could have ended this before it got off the ground but didn't. Now it has expanded into is he natural-born or not. 0bama played this badly.
Well...either that or something else VERY embarassing...like...Father “unknown”.
I guess the fact that his Kenyan grandmother says he was born in Kenya doesn’t matter. And the Kenyans celebrating the success of their favorite son sure doesn’t mean anything.
If this were our guy, he would have had 500 exams up the rectum to find any evidence on the matter. With Obama, it’s all relegated to sour grapes.
It was the same thing under Clinton. His criminality couldn’t have merit. It was just that evil right wing conspiracy.
This is why I wrote on the forum earlier today, that Adolf Hitler could easily have been elected here. The media and the left and even the so-called leaders on our own side, have completely shut down any critical thinking when it comes to Obama. To a large extent, they did the same thing with Clinton.
When this takes place folks, stand back. Anything, and I mean anything can happen. Critical thinking is non-existant in today’s political climate.
The U.S. Constitution might just as well be used for toilet paper. Our SCOTUS Justices and elected officials obviously have no other use for it.
just a thought here, did any of the news orgs. follow hussein to and around hawaii when he was there like they did every second of every day otherwise? I don’t remember seeing anything about the trip anywhere. where did he go, what did he do when he was there?
Everything else set aside for the moment, I agree 100%. It’s my understanding the in the Islamic faith, if your father is Muslim, then so are you. I’m surprised that hasn’t been mentioned before.
I also think there’s a very likely possibility that Obama got into Occidental, Columbia and Harvard because he was listed as a “foreign” student; a strong reason not to release his college transcripts and admission documents.
"Now peasants, FactCheck.org has said Deer Leeder is qualified, so the issue is settled. As soon as Deer Leeder gets in office, he will censor that pesky Internet thingy and lop off the heads of a few of the Infidels who are lying about him to set an example.
Move along now. Prayers to the beeg all-powerful goobermint begin at 4 p.m. Remember, your attendance is mandatory."
Why did Woodward and Bernstein and Ben Bradlee pursue the Watergate story? Because they wanted to get to the bottom of it and find out what was there that the American public might want to know.
Why is it so hard for the naysayers to understand that the same principle applies in this case? Why aren’t “reporters” doing their jobs, even if they do support Barry?
I don’t think something as bad as being a Muslim in these times would have stopped the people that voted for him. His charisma trumped all. McCain would not have said that anything was wrong with him being a Muslim because McCain was so afraid and lame. I honestly don’t think it would have hurt him.
” his 1961 birth notice in a Honolulu newspaper “
Huh? I have not seen this document. Where is it?
