It has been inspected by reporters

Who?

Chrissy Matthews, 0lberdork? and just what "reporter" can be trusted these days?

But it defies reason that a guy would spend $1mm on litigating this issue unless he had something to hide.

Basically, there is nothing known about this guy. Everything has either been hidden or destroyed.

“Do I think it’s suspicious that he spend a large amount of $ keeping it from being released? Yes, but I think it may be not because of birthplace, but rather parentage.!”

I have yet to see any sort of verification of the “large sums of money” spent on lawyers for this.

I think Obama is letting this stew, and when it becomes big enough, they will release it, and make all these people look stupid, burst their bubble, and make anyone who criticizes him fit into the category of “those crazy birthers” from then on.

Not under the law 1961.

Obama’s mom hadn't been in the country long enough to qualify her son for American citizenship if he was born outside the country.

Um “inspected by several reports” HORSE$HIT! That would be against Hawaiian Law AND reports are not document experts. No Sale!

I agree with you. I have watched this thing with interest since the campaign and even though there is definitely some sticking points in regards to the released COLB as well as the issue of Zero's lawyers spending millions to fight the legal cases...I keep coming back to the birth announcements in the newspaper. If he wasn't born in Hawaii, why would there be a birth announcement?

I have yet to see a plausible explanation for this fact.

“Well the birth announcement lists an address his family never resided at.”

I’m confused. Are you suggesting this was a conspiracy from his birth?

Somehow I doubt it. The professional birthers would just claim it was a fake and keep raising money.

BTW, does anyone have an example of a “Long Form Birth Certificate” from that time period in Hawaii? It actually would be most helpful to see an example of just what you are talking about so as to contrast the differences.

And when it comes to those college transcripts, count us among those who’d love to know whether Dr. Bailout ever took an advanced economics class and how he performed in it.

Sounds good. We also need to concentrate our efforts on fixing the pathetic GOP.

I had read previously about the fact that he was in the birth announcements on the Hawaii newspapers back in 1961. That seems to end the argument for me. Unless a conspiracy theorist can somehow figure out that they knew he was going to be President and this was a problem so they ensured a fake recording in the newspaper in 1961 (Joking).... Anyways, I still like to bring it up now and again to my lefty friends when they start talking about Haliburton and Cheney and Bush conspiracies. It’s something we can needle them with when the lefties are being stupid on us.

it is all part of the same web of lies that the POSOTUS is fabricating. This Kenyan buttwipe needs to realize he may or may not be legaly the president....but if he tries to touch the constitution with his criminal touch (he did promise to obey and protect and follow the constitution) he will be in a world of hurt....and wind up losing states to secession, and where that will follow.

That's strange,I couldn't get a passport in the 80’s with a certification of live birth document because the passport office would not except it.I had to send in a long form copy of an original BC on file from the state vital records dept.certified via the state.

One correction, the editorial describes the Arizona territory as being “outside of the United States”, that is incorrect.

The Territory of Arizona was, at the time of Senator Goldwater’s birth an organized, incorporated, territory. Constitutionally, per the insular cases, that is part of the United States and not just a possession.

This is either silly or stupid. Most of us can pay attention and oppose mightily the agenda of obama but are getting pretty weary of those who say - “we’ve seen it, it’s authentic” and not one person or reporting agency will show us exactly what piece of paper has convinced them that the real birth certificate has shown up. Pretty easy stuff but it’s looking increasingly impossible to put the birth certificate where their mouth is.

It’s all too simple - show it!

This is the part I don’t get: if Barack’s mom was a U.S. citizen, then he’s a U.S. citizen. Doesn’t matter if he was born on the Moon.


There is a pesky little law that says Obama’s underage mom had to be resident in the USA for a period of time before being able to legally confer US citizenship on him at birth. She had been traveling to Canada and Kenya prior to his birth.

Additionally, it would be nice to know the name of the father on the birth certificate. If it was indeed Obama Sr., he is instantly a British citizen also by birth.

just read on Fox that HI looked again and confirm he was born there.

Well if they had already done it why the need to check again and say this.?
Why doesn't he just show the thing?

So one person Dobbs raises the question and the subject gets brought up so if the media did their job this subject would be getting brought up all the time.

the media make me sick

She was not old enough at the time of his birth to confer citizenship in a foreign country.

Clearing the Smoke on Obama’s Eligibility: An Intelligence Investigator’s June 10 Report

In 1961 if a 17 year old American girl gave birth in a foreign country to a child whose father was not an American citizen, that child had no right to any American citizenship, let alone the “natural born” citizenship that qualifies someone for the Presidency under Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution.

“ 7 FAM 1133.2-2 Original Provisions and Amendments to Section 301

(CT:CON-204; 11-01-2007)

“a. Section 301 as Effective on December 24, 1952: When enacted in 1952, section 301 required a U.S. citizen married to an alien to have been physically present in the United States for ten years, including five after reaching the age of fourteen, to transmit citizenship to foreign-born children. The ten-year transmission requirement remained in effect from 12:01 a.m. EDT December 24, 1952, through midnight November 13, 1986, and still is applicable to persons born during that period.

Dear boy, most ANYONE can become a citizen of the USA,
It happens every day for people that never had any past relations with the US.

It has nothing to do with “NATURAL BORN” citizen, which is required for being POTUS.
I am amazed that a FReeper for 10 years would not know this.
