Obama 'illegal alien:' Liddy and 'birthers' (MSM says it's racism)

It's been one of those weeks.

A week when the nation was asked to focus on long-sought healthcare reform, a week when a lot of people wanted to talk about President Barack Obama's birthplace.

"This whole thing could be settled in a minute if the president would simply produce a valid birth certificate,'' said - wait - G. Gordon Liddy, arbiter of all things up and up.

Well, replied MSNBC's Chris Matthews of Hardball, the Honolulu-born president has in fact supplied the sort of certificate that anyone needs to apply for a passport. Matthews held it up. Still, radio talk-show host and Watergate scandal veteran Liddy wanted to talk about the unsubstantiated talk that Obama was born in Kenya, the deposition of a step-grandmother that he was born in Mombassa - not the report in the Honolulu papers that he was born there.

If the president was born abroad, Matthews followed up with, and never has gone through a naturalization process, what would that make him?

"An illegal alien,'' Liddy said.

"This is because many people in this nation cannot still accept the fact that a brilliant African-American is the commander-in-chief,'' Collins said. "and they're looking for ways to reduce the greatness of not just his intellect, but his honest and his purity as a person who is serving this nation.''(continued)

This story ain't going away, no matter how hard you wish and pray. Ten dollars could solve this whole "problem" but for some reason he's not going to release it.

(MSM says it's racism)

It's always racist to cast doubts upon O.

[GeronL]

Apparently if it comes out that he was born elswhere they will say “So what?”

So what? Then he is a liar and a fraud.

I would vote for Mr. Keyes any time. Smart & Articulate.

Color is never the issue, but what is between a mans ears and in his heart.

[Friendofgeorge]

And if they do not want to talk about his birth certificate etc, then how a bout his school records in the USA? Why is Obama fighting the release of any school records in the USA? Is it because it says he was an exchange student?

[Friendofgeorge]

I hope you are not suggesting that Zero has big ears?

Obama is “brilliant”, “honest”, “great”?????

I think none of the above. Just a log-legged mack daddy from Chicago.

I saw this comming with that botched and backfiring race baiting attempt at Obromas presser this week. He was trying two things.

• 1). make critics of his health care reform look racist and
• 2). make signal the press to attack the birth certificate constitutionalist as racist.

  Never mind, 1). Most of us don't care where he is from, we just want to know that he meets constitutional requirements and 2). the Health Deform legistation is a clear and present danger to our nation and everyone regardless of race.

  O'Broma (O'Joke in spanish) is a menace.

Alan Keyes, the racist!

[cripplecreek]

Lets not forget Phil Berg, the Clinton voting Jewish racist who started this whole thing.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Racism? Tell the MSM to call it whatever they want, I don’t care what name they put on it.

Zero must prove his eligibility.

[alloysteel]

A deeper matter is involved here, not merely where the physical birth took place, though that is apparently still in question.

When Barry Soetoro was living in Indonesia, he assumed the citizenship of that country, whether by his own volition or not. We do not know, if upon turning 21, and presumedly an adult, he ever chose to renounce that citizenship, and if in fact he does have citizenship papers ever prepared to that effect. The fact remains, he traveled, sometimes quite extensively, on a passport NOT of US issue.

There was a movie, some number of years in the past, and a more recent remake, called “The Manchurian Candidate”.

This is real-life exercise of “the Indonesian candidate”.

[JoanneSD]

I voted for Alan Keyes this last electin, in California he was the only black man on the ticket!!!

[blueplum]

but his honest and his purity as a person

Rush was right, Zero is the MSM's Waterloo. They try so very hard to diefy him, but Zero's mouth keeps getting in the way.

I truly believe the race card is really starting to backfire. People are fed up (of all races) of being used by the demoncrats.

I think 0bambi can't let his actual birth certificate be released, lest it show that:
1) his personally-released COLB (through DailyKOS) was altered and therefore a fraud, and
2) combined with information Zero didn't anticipate, the real BC will prove conclusively that Zero's not a natural-born citizen, meaning--he thinks--he'd have to have a confrontation with SCOTUS, meaning tanks on their DC steps. He' thinks it's too early in his presidency for that; he'd've preferred such shock and awe to come only after his irreversible dictatorship status was established.

Major Wood and Orly Taitz aren't going anywhere. Is Judge Carter? Time and inaction on this front are what he hopes for, but if we're headed for court-directed action, he'll try to pre-empt the (non-)Constitutional stand-off.

As Hussein’s polls and performance plummet, the interest in his eligibility will only increase. This interest will go into the independent and moderate ranks as well.

All Hussein needs to do is to produce the COB and is acedemic applications. Those will prove where he is born and what nationality he is. If he is legit, it would take 2 seconds to produce and the issue would go away. Yet, he spends a million dollars to prevent those in seeing it.

Growing suspicious with each passing day.......
