One day soon Obama’s past is going to catch up to him.

Sounds like a plan to me, since Smith badmouthed tea party
participants.

Hopefully, this is they dying gasp of 1960s communism. Maybe its just their 15 minutes of fame. I hope America can survive the “Laugh In” episode we are currently suffering through.

They do have it on record, in accordance with state policies and procedures... that is... “electronically”... :-)

And not on microfiche?

Oh and Ben Smith knows he’s lying because it’s about the Long Form Birth Certificate.

~~~~

Ben Smith is a doooofus .. NOT a serious thinker or credible journalist.

You can see the whole Politico crew on their interview with Charlie Rose, including Ben, relating their startup.

http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/10498

I still wonder who their silent financial partners are .. they’ve been on a rocketship of instant acceptance and success.

The ‘silent partners’ are key here just like you say. Someone fronted them the start up money. It would be interesting to find out.

Hey everyone;

E-Mail CNN and thank Lou Dobbs for covering the Obama “non natural born citizen” issue. Ask them to require that Obama presents his original long form birth certificate to prove whether he is eligible to serve as President since he may not be a natural born citizen:

I found these addresses too:

Giving NO qualification of just WHAT they have. The original birth certificate could’ve document his spawning on Pluto. That statement does nothing to clarify the citizenship issue, correct ?

Correct. It just means they have, or then had, his original *birth certificate*, not just an electronic copy/image of it, and certainly not just entries in an electronic database reflecting what was on the original. The original.

It may be that they were a little sloppy with their language, and all they have is an image file of the original, which would be better than nothing, but easier to fabricate out of whole cloth than the original paper document.

That would not necessarily be true if the document was electronic from the beginning, since there could be various digital signatures embedded in or associated with it to verify it's authenticity. That could include digital thumbprints from the mother, and the doctor or other attendant.

Who is running the the FBI as of now?

The current Director, Robert S. Mueller, III, was confirmed as Director of the FBI by the Senate on August 2, 2001. He took the oath of office on September 4, 2001.

He must leave by September 4, 2011. However, since the statutory limit of 10 years was instituted after J. Edgar Hoover's 48 years, all the Directors have served less than the maximum of 10 years. So he may not be around much longer.

But he serves at the pleasure of the President, and he reports to the Attorney General, currently Obama's man, Eric Holder, who was formerly Jackboot Janet's main deputy. He's a long time gun grabber.

Geraldo should have been hanged for treason when he drew that map of where our troops were and where they were going during the invasion of Iraq.

I can’t understand why Fox keeps him around. It’s not like he’s a real journalist. He was best on his Jerry Springer type show. He fit right in with the scum and freaks he brought on.

Thanks for confirming my belief that
NOWHERE have we been made aware that
there’s ANY conclusive proof that
0 was born a US citizen, in addition
to the other MAJOR issue of his UK
citizen father.
