What Obama's hiding and the media are ignoring
JWR ^ | July 31, 2009 | Diana West

Barack Obama's birthday is Aug. 4, and I hereby urge the president to bestow a party favor on the nation that elected him: a verifying look at the original "long-form" version of his birth certificate.

It's important to grasp the weird fact that this simple request, requiring nothing more than a nod of the presidential head, ranks as fightin' words to American journalists. Right wing, left wing, these ladies and gentlemen of the Fourth Estate seem to want nothing less than to gain access to the one piece of evidence that could lay the "natural born" issue to rest once and for all.

This is the mystery behind the unease "out there," unease the MSM are now simultaneously picking up on even as they try to squelch it. And this is true particularly after CNN's Lou Dobbs raised the issue in a historically resonant manner: Dobbs trusts that Obama is a natural-born citizen but would like the president to verify his status regardless.

And why not? It is no accident that history and literature are replete with rocky tales of doubtful succession, of the maladjustment brought on by pretenders to thrones. There is something in human nature that yearns for the rightful leader. And there is something in our Constitution that requires it.

So why won't this president, who, after all, promised the American people an unprecedented level of transparency, reveal his original long-form birth certificate? Unheeded, the "natural born" controversy will roil indefinitely, further fired by the vagaries of Hawaiian law — specifically, Section 338-17.8, titled "Certificates for children born out of State" — which makes state birth documentation available to children born out of state, even born out of the country.

None of this is healthy, not the president's suspicious secrecy and not the MSM's protective incuriosity. It almost seems as if someone has something to hide.

He is just hoping if he and his MSM cohorts call the “birthers” names that it will all go away.

You have to show your birth certificate to play little league, I don’t think it is too much to ask that he show it.

Need to have a rubber stamp made for dollar bills that says:

Show me the original Birth certificate!

This might be a good item to make and sell at the 9-12 tea party. Can you imagine a million plus dollar bills in circulation. Birthers need to turn up the heat on media.

“He is just hoping if he and his MSM cohorts call the “birthers” names that it will all go away.”

Calling people names haven’t succeeded to chase away any topic, especially one of national, and I may say international interest. Any treaty or law signed by an usurper is null and void.

I have just decided to spend up to 1 MILLION DOLLARS making sure no one can see this post.

Yes, I know, you people now think I’m out of my freaking mind: “Why would any sane person do that? There’s no reason to hide anything in the post above...”

Exactly people! Always, always, always follow what the money is trying to tell you!

Barry is waiting for his forgers to “age” the new forgery BC via intense light or chemicals.

I’m willing to wager lunch at McDonalds that releasing the original BC will show us something that Obama doesn’t want us to know.

Both he and his mother played fast and loose with Social Security numbers, I think birth and immigration records are no different.

- Did his original BC acyrately reflect his actual father and his vital statistics?
- Does his BC show a doctor’s name and a hospital?
- Did he update his BC to reflect his name changes over the years?
- Does his amended BC indicate his adopted status and his return to Hawaii?
- Have his citizenship issues while in Indonesia been reflected in amendments to the original BC?

There are many more possible “traps” in what is certainly a complex upbringing (please add to this list) and it seems highly unlikely that everything was handled legally, whether by comission or omission.

It's a simple thing to put to rest. I have a passport and a birth certificate. I can produce them at my house in a matter of minutes. I have not spent a million dollars to either acquire them...or to hide them.

This is not a unreasonable thing to ask for since being a "natural born citizen" of the US is a constitutional requirement for the job of President. It's not hateful, and it's not racist.

Proving that you are should be an honor.

Yet Obama cannot and will not produce either. Why?

The issue might not be that it shows he is not a natural born citizen but that HE FLAT OUT LIED about something, or that his mother/grandmother committed some type of document fraud for the purpose of defrauding the government. A possible welfare cheat.

Someone on the internet posted a $10,000 reward to anyone who was there who witnessed O’s birth in Hawaii.

I’ll add a thousand of my own to that (maybe I should make it a million- I dont ever expect to have to pay it)

Could it be that there’s something else on that birth certificate he doesn’t want mentioned, like, a different father or something?
