CNN President Jon Klein declares Obama birther story 'dead' (UPDATE - Original 1961 BC in storage!)

CNN/U.S. President Jon Klein told staffers at the cable news network Thursday night that the supposed controversy regarding the legitimacy of President Obama’s birth certificate is a “dead” story after anchor Lou Dobbs drew attention for raising the issue repeatedly on his radio program.

The website TVNewser reported today that Klein sent an e-mail to staffers of “Lou Dobbs Tonight” just as the program went to air, informing them that CNN researchers had determined that Hawaiian officials discarded all paper documents in 2001. A long-form birth certificate with details about the doctor who delivered Obama no longer exists, they reported. The shorter Certificate of Live Birth noting Obama’s birth on Aug. 4, 1961, that has been made public is the official record.

“It seems to definitively answer the question,” Klein wrote, according to TVNewser. “Since the show's mission is for Lou to be the explainer and enlightener, he should be sure to cite this during your segment tonite. And then it seems this story is dead -- because anyone who still is not convinced doesn't really have a legitimate beef.”

In today's edition (July 28, 2009) of The Honolulu Advertiser a story by Dan Nakaso under the headline "Hawaii officials confirm Obama's original birth certificate still exists" reports that the original 1961 birth certificate for Barack Obama does in fact exist and has not been destroyed, but is in storage!

Can there be any clearer example that CNN is merely an agitprop outlet masquerading as a news organization?

Dead again?

cnn and airports.... if we get rid of the tv in airports then there will no longer be any cnn. They are a propaganda machine for the counterfeit pres.

So many things to declare, so little time.

I am beginning to think that someone has the data and it is being used to manipulate Obama. "Dance to our tune, Obama or your presidency goes up in smoke." Russians? Israelis? Funny how Hillary suddenly announces NO Nukes with respect to Iran. Obama goes silent on Jerusalem. Someone has the goods on Obama and the White House is in serious cover up mode at the moment.

This story isn't going away and President Biden knows it!

[April Lexington]

Yep. Stored right next to the Arch of the Covanent!

I have never thought it was a laughing matter to vet a person who holds the highest office in the land. (quote from Orly’s Facebook friend)

Why is the story dead???? Why doesn't any of Obama's disciples want to know which hospital their savior was born? Or which heroic man delivered their Obamessiah? These are important historic facts and it would seem like believers would love to see this fascinating document! How does Chris Matthews know where to make his pilgrimage????

wait a sec I thought people (officials?) in Hawaii said they didn’t throw away any paper records the other day?

[Frantzie]

The story changes every few hours

[RinaseaofDs]

All the tortured spinning.

All CNN has to do is ask for the document. That simple. If I were a foreign government, I’d pray for leverage like this against a nation as powerful as the US.

[marron]

Well, thats it then. I’m sorry I said anything.

I’ll just be in my office if anyone needs me.

They failed to say that, the box was checked White Male

[chris37]

This is just perfect :)

[kimoajax]

If what is NOW being reported regarding the long form birth certificate is true, why did the Obomites or the officials who knew say so a long time ago?

Rest assured, if they keep trying eventually they will come up with a cover story that works long enough to get to the next cover story....and so on and so forth.

And I thought B. O’reilly said he had a copy of it?

[DarthVader]

There is no birth certificate because Obozo’s mother was a jackal!:-) (The Omen)

Methinks we are looking for the lost Ark!

This story isn't going away and President Biden knows it!

Heh!
