I hope I am proven wrong.
I hope for the sake of our country that I and many other concerned citizens across the country are looked upon as well-intentioned but ultimately misguided individuals who chased a bad rumor based on lies and distortions.
The reason I hope to be thought wrong (although well-intentioned) is because the price of being right about the constitutional requirements to be president not being met by the current occupant of the Oval Office is too disturbing to be imagined.
If, in fact, Barack Obama does not meet the requirements set out by the U.S. Constitution in Article II, Section I, it would throw this country into a constitutional crisis. Vice President Joe Biden would, obviously, become President Biden. The harrowing part of this taking place is that every appointment made, every piece of legislation signed, and every executive order issued by Barack Obama could, and should, be considered invalid.
Full-moon time? I know, I know; I sound like a raving lunatic. So where do I draw my conclusions that this is even a valid issue to entertain?
Let's review what's been accepted as "fact" by the mainstream press and the vast majority of Americans: Barack Hussein Obama was born on August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Stanley Ann Dunham, 18, and Barack Obama Sr., 25.
Now let's look at some of the questions challenging these accepted "facts":
Concerned citizens across the United States since well before the November election have questioned Barack Obama's "natural born" qualification for the presidency. From sea to shining sea, at least 18 lawsuits with plaintiffs including a former presidential candidate, a former deputy attorney general, state legislators and retired and active duty members of the military, are attempting to compel him to verify his citizenship.
Candidate Obama's own Web site, fightthesmears.com, posted a "Certification of Live Birth," which, according to the Web site, proves that Obama is in fact a natural born U.S. citizen. What the Web site won't tell you, however, is that a "Certification of Live Birth" is not a birth certificate, and that at the time, the state of Hawaii allowed foreign-born children of U.S. citizens (Stanley Ann Dunham) to have their births registered with this document based on a statement of only one relative. The obvious question must be asked: If Obama has an original "long form" birth certificate issued on the day of his birth by the state of Hawaii, why would he also have a "Certification of Live Birth"? It would not be necessary. Critics have called upon President Obama to just give the state of Hawaii his permission to release his original "long form" birth certificate. The "long form" birth certificate would include all the pertinent information about his birth: name of the hospital, name and signature of the attending physician and a seal of the Hawaiian Health Department. This simple action by President Obama would immediately end all speculation about his citizenship and the reasons for the various lawsuits. Instead, President Obama is spending time and money hiring lawyers to fight these lawsuits. Why?
Why doesn't the mainstream press cover these lawsuits? I mean, in 2004, Dan Rather did a bang up job covering something a lot less important. Rather had "authentic" memos critical of President George W. Bush's Texas Air National Guard service record. Yet there are some legitimate questions about the constitutional eligibility of our president, and yet not one single major press outlet is covering it. Part of the reason is that this issue has supposedly settled by the independent authority on Obama's birth certificate, FactCheck.org. Yet on their Web site, FactCheck.org states:
"The document is a 'certification of birth,' also known as a short-form birth certificate. The long form is drawn up by the hospital and includes additional information such as birth weight and parents' hometowns. The Hawaii Department of Health's birth record request form does not give the option to request a photocopy of your long-form birth certificate. We tried to ask the Hawaii DOH why they only offer the short form, among other questions, but they have not given a response."
So the independent authority on this question has admitted that they have not seen the original long-form birth certificate. And the questions remain.
I sincerely hope that Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1961 and therefore meets the constitutional requirements to be president. If not, our Constitution must be followed and procedures put in place for future elections wherein all candidates on the ballot must prove they meet the requirements set forth by the law of the land, the U.S. Constitution.

I would rather have Biden. He’s an idiot but nobody worships him.
Davis was his grandfather’s drinking buddy, and O’s true mentor. His father was a second rate political aspirant from Kenya that exhibited all the same traits that the son does. There’s no doubt.
I wonder, do you suppose the date of birth is much earlier than 12/04/61, making it quite possible his mommy was impregnated by Malcolm?
I have no idea, but I am aware I have not been told the truth by theOne.
“Geeeeez, the thought of having Biden as President is enough to leave Obama alone.”
But, since Biden knew that nObama was a fraud couldn’t charges be brought against him or impeachment? And then who ever he picks as VP and so on since all the Dems who have taken part in this possible charade would be guilty.
EEUUWW. Last thing I want to see is nude shots of Zero’s mom!
I’ll just take your word for it! LOL!
Maybe SHE doesn’t know who Zero’s father is. Gotta wonder.
Well, that one does make more sense. I was having to squint
to see the resemblance in the other guy! LOL!
The mouth is very much alike!
Let’s give Bill Richardson a pass. He told us on video that Obama was an immigrant.
ping
That pesky Constitution!
IMHO..obama looks more like Malcom X than any of the other men reputed to be his biological father.
I agree with this partly. But note the Left is not shy of appealing to the Constitution when it suits them. Of coarse they would never appeal to what the old dead white guys actually wrote, but what the Left winger feels like it ought to mean at the moment. To them this feeling is something sacred, essentialy their own twisted notion of Natural Law--though they are too ignorant to even realize it as such. Rather they envision a "living constitution" as some kind of absolute ethic that the rest of us must respect and follow while they in turn dictate the specifics.
They are the animals on the farm that are more equal then the rest of us.

I wish someone dared to run some paternity tests. LOL
I have absolutely no problem with that. And I would actually sleep better if Biden were president.
oh man that really makes him into a flake. truely amazing. Now I understand. They will fight this one tooth and claw. Even still, he could stay on as president if he father was frank. He would just be considered to be something of a flake.
“EEUUWW. The last thing I want is to see nude photo’s of Zero’s mom!”
Just in case anyone else is curious....if this was actually her, she was no Carrie Prejean....
