'Birthers' prove relentless
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch / The Associated Press ^ | July 26, 2009 | David Crary

Six months after Barack Obama's inauguration, a persistent and noisy legion of doubters won't let go of an already debunked claim — that he is actually a foreign-born, illegal president.

Mainstream Republicans who want the issue to go away are having a tough time stamping it out as the so-called "birthers" resurface, with assists from talk show host Rush Limbaugh and CNN's Lou Dobbs.

Passions among the birthers run so high that Rep. Mike Castle, R-Del., was booed by his own constituents at a recent town hall meeting for saying Obama "is a citizen of the United States." He was responding to a woman who waved her own birth certificate, contended Obama was born in Kenya, and shouted, "I want my country back!"

AP and ALL of the State Run Media have been deep in-the-tank for Obama for two years. They are no less biased about the birth certificate issue.

Ha! Ha! Ha! The msm are showing their stripes. Similar story in The New York Times. Major Cook filed his amended suit in Florida. Glen Beck is on top of the story. Wait to see what happens this week. Either Glen or Lou breaks the story. Get your popcorn. This week will be fun.

Baraq had all of his life records sealed/hidden quite a while ago. Where was the gop? Where was mccain? Where was the RNC? The only one who gave him a difficult time was hillary, but then she pulled out when she got a deal for baraq to push her hillarycare nightmare. All this crap should have been vetted 18 months ago. But I have a sneaky suspicision that nobody wanted to be tagged as a racist. Looks like the race hustlers got their way to get their guy in office.

The comments to these small editorial reports are always interesting, but rarely more than the same tired responses and insults. What the responses universally show is a lack of knowledge regarding what makes one a citizen or a natural born citizen, what has or has not been released by obama, what has been certified by the state of Hawaii and several other misperceptions and misinformation.

It doesn't matter where the comments are posted, here on FR or in papers and web journals across the country and overseas, the responses and misunderstandings and, of course, the insults are the same.

What a golden opportunity for a real, honest to goodness reporter to actually investigate and report to address this need.

Hypothetically, of course, if I were a new grandparent and had some concerns for my daughter and my brand new mixed race grandson

in early 1960s America and

I wanted him to have an American birth certificate and citizenship,

especially given the nationality of his father,

I would do as you speculate with the application for a COLB and the newspaper announcements.

I so much like the work Relentless that it is $1,000,000 for Chrissy Tingle and $1,000,000 for the Dolbermann. How to publish the bet - that's the Great Challenge.

The MSM is scared sh*tless about this issue. They’re pressuring “mainstream” pubs to dismiss birthers as nutjobs. Geraldo was urging Ann Coulter to trash the birthers, and unfortunately, she did.

Yep. Ann needs to do a re-write of "Treason". Its fairly obvious now that its not just DNC committing treason, you can now add the MSM along with large chunks of the RNC.

DUDE!!!
You can scan the million dollar bills and have fact check verify that they are, indeed, scanned copies of two one million dollar bills. That ought to do it.

Show’em the money. There. It’s published.

OR, you could talk to Joe Farah?????

Why, Mesta, what a BRILLIANT idea. Do you suppose it’s EVER been done before?

McCain's natural-born issue came up during the 2004 Presidential campaign and at that time a few members of Congrss wanted to clarify the meaning of Article II, Section 1. Their proposals went over like a lead balloon. The planning for Obama's run in 2008 was well underway in 2004, IMHO

This suggestion is total genius. I am overwhelmed. You should run for Prez. In the meantime, my Xerox is humming in the basement.

Come on Chrissy & Olbermann - let's see the color of your fraudulent credentials.

Rather like her promotion of phony “pro-life” “conservative” Mitt Romney -

Did she really? I missed that.

Well, all I can say is that it's tough having to be right all the time. She's as human as any of us, and is going to get something wrong once in a while. Even Ronaldus Magnus did, but we love him just the same.

In the end, I think what matters isn't that you get every single thing right, but that you simply get most things right.

Per Article 2, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, one must be a natural born American citizen to serve as President. Barack Obama is NOT eligible for the Presidency because he is not a natural born citizen. John A. Bingham, primary framer, 14th Amendment, states- “Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.” Obama himself has stated that he is the son of a Kenyan- Kenya being a foreign sovereignty. Thus, Obama is not a natural born citizen even if he were actually born in Hawaii.

Do you know who Barack Obama is? Is he NOT a natural born citizen? Check these out-

Original birth certificate - Not released
Obama/Dunham marriage license - Not released
Soetoro/Dunham marriage license - Not released
Soetoro adoption records - Not released
Besuki School application - Released
Punahou School records - Not released
Selective Service Registration - Released and under suspicion
Occidental College records - Not released
Passport (Pakistan) - Not released
Columbia College records - Not released
Columbia thesis - Not released
Harvard College records - Not released
Harvard Law Review articles - None (maybe 1, unsigned?)
Baptism certificate - None
Medical records - Not released
Illinois State Senate records - None
Illinois State Senate schedule - Lost
Law practice client list - Not released
University of Chicago scholarly articles - None

Now Hawaii officials are saying that all birth certificates were destroyed in 2001. But on October 31, 2008, this contrary statement-

“There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official birth certificate. State law (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes §338-18) prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record. Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.”

That would only fly in the GOP, and the GOP would not need it.

But she continues to support and promote him.

Romneycare has $50 co-pay to kill babies.

With all Ann’s brilliance, she needs to get this one
right.

How can these ‘conservative’ superstars get the basics so wrong?

I don't know, Les. It's a continuing mystery to me how most of them miss the big stuff so badly. My best theory is cowardice.
