For about a year now there has been a great deal of debate about whether or not President Barack Obama is truly a natural born American citizen. According to the Constitution, Article 2, Sec. 1, No person except a natural born citizen
shall be eligible to the office of president. The Obama campaign and administration have always claimed that he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. A Certificate of Live Birth was presented by the Obama campaign showing that Obama is an American citizen[1]; however, Hawaiian law didnt require Obama to actually have been born in Hawaii in order to obtain this registration.[2] This, among other things, has created a public outcry from a group now referred to as birthers for Obama to show his long form birth certificate, which would disclose information such as which hospital he was born in, who delivered him, etc. that would solidify the fact that he actually was born in America. The Obama campaign and administration have failed to present this document to anyone. Instead, they have been suppressing the issue using two tactics: hiring lawyers to defend him against the legal dilemma such as lawyer Perkins Coie, who was paid $688,316[3] and creating the ignorant propaganda, repeated by many liberals, that anyone who questions Obamas eligibility is weird, crazy or racist. The liberal mainstream media has propagated the latter tactic through news broadcasts, such as Nightly News with Brian Williams, which incorrectly assert that Obama has proven his eligibility.[4]

My reply to O’Reilly:
You are IGNORANT about the Obama eligibility issue. Anything you say about it is just BLOVIATING. If you had investigated this issue as I have for over a year you might have a different opinion. Joseph Farah is correct. Your investigators never got any birth certificate and you know it. All you got was the same FAKE COLB or the photos at factcheck.org that ANYONE can get on the internet and that I have stored on my computer. So why did you LIE?
It’s not just about the birth certificate either. Obama is INELIGIBLE (that means he is not ALLOWED) to be president according to article II, section 1, clause 5 of the constitution. Do you even KNOW what a “QUOTE” “NATURAL BORN CITIZEN” means? It ONLY applies to people who would be president. It is not mentioned in the 14th amendment, it is NOT the same thing as “citizen at birth”, or “native born citizen”. SPECIAL requirements apply to being president. Vattels “Law of Nations” (the book used to found our government) spells it out as being born on U.S. soil, (Panama NEVER was U.S. soil) to parents (PLURAL) (that would be two) who are citizens (plural) at the time of the child’s birth. Only the president, because he is also “commander in chief”, must be a “Natural Born Citizen” having no loyalties to foreign lands or governments. His father was a Kenyan making him a British subject as well as making Obama a British subject as posted on Obama’s OWN WEBSITE (”fight the smears.com”).
A tremendous FRAUD was perpetrated on the American people by allowing this man to be elected president. We can not allow this to stand. He is an illegitimate president, a presidential bastard. The truth WILL come out and you will have exposed yourself to be a fool.
You lost a lot of credibility with me when you let Obama ROLL you for that interview. Your integrity out the window. Now giving this usurper cover just as his lies and ineligibility are about to be exposed. Shame on you Bill. Shame. Your credibility with me is now ZERO. So why should I continue to watch your program? I guess I won’t.
I’d tread lightly on this “source”
Utter nonsense. I sure hope the gullibility level being displayed on FR these days isn’t representative of US conservatives as a whole. Because if it is, we’re guaranteed to have two terms of Obama in the White House, followed by more just like him or worse.
Very strong and to the point. Thanx!
Over here! I don’t have time to read it right now, but wanted to make sure you saw it, GF!
Do you actually believe this nonsense? Fallen for any Nigerian e-mail scams lately?
Looks like you need to put a quaalude under your tongue and let other people do one thing, and you do another.
I haven’t seen any leadership out of our party, well, what was our party. It’s now probably your party.
There’s a reason why he’s spent almost a $1M covering up his paper trail. Might as well peck away at it, and we might as well have active duty people challenge their orders in court and see what happens.
It’s not costing you a thing. Republicans STILL don’t stand for anything as far as the electorate is concerned. We’ll likely run on the platform that ‘We aren’t them’ and people will narrowly, or not, vote us in again.
Bottom line: Both parties are there for the same reason - them. Corzine spent $40M on his Senate seat. What’s the ROI on that, given he’ll make $187K/year?
The whole thing is broken, and your party is a sham, and you want to tell other people that are working their plan to stop working it?
LOL! I should have known you were on it already. Forget the ping.

I happen to be Kenyan. I was born 1 month before Obama at Mombasa medical center. I am a teacher here at the MM Shaw Primary School in Kenya. I compared my birth certificate to the one that has been put on by Taitz and mine is exactly the same. I even have the same registrar and format. The type is identical. I am by nature a skeptical person. I teach science here and challenge most things that cannot be proven. So I went to an official registrar today and pulled up the picture on the web. They magnified it and determined it to be authentic. There is even a plaque with Registrar Lavenders name on it as he was a Brit and was in charge of the Registrar office from 1959 until January of 1964. The reason the date on the certificate says republic of Kenya is that we were a republic when the copy of the original was ordered. I stress the word copy. My copy also has republic of Kenya. So what you say is true about Kenya not being a republic at the time of Obamas birth, however it was a republic when the copy was ordered. The birth certificate is genuine. I assure you it will be authenticated by a forensic auditor. We are very proud Obama was born here. We have a shrine for him and there are many people who remember his birth here as he had a white mother. They are being interviewed now by one of your media outlets. Fortunately they even have pictures of his parents with him immediately after his birth at the Mombasa hospital with the hospital in the back ground. It will be a proud day for us when it is proven that he was born here and a Kenyan became the most powerful man in the world. I encourage anyone to come here and visit. I will be happy to take you and show you the pictures at the hospital myself as well as my document and many others that are identical to what Taitz posted. God Bless. Kitau
[stan marsh]Really?...[/stan marsh]
I'm with you.
I'm skeptical of all of these anonymous claims. I suspect these are from lefties trying to set us up.
Bump for later.
Thanks!
I should have pinged YOU!
But they were legal residents of the US. SCOTUS has never ruled on whether the 14th amendment citizenship applies to the children of illegal aliens born in the US.
Great Rant, but the republicans are heading toward the same place, I’m staying home until Sarah or like minded conservative starts a new party. There are more important things than the united states, one’s eternal well being for one, it’s only a country, eternity is forever. I’m over it.
Panama has never been US soil, that is true. However, US bases (and diplomatic posts), and their attached HOSPITALS most certainly ARE considered US soil by US and international law, so your attempt at equating McLame with the usurper is a non-starter.
There is also the fact that McLame’s mother was a natural born citizen, and his father (also natural born) was a RANKING OFFICER in the US NAVY, on active duty at the time of birth.
Nice try, though.
And Hawaii, at the time, had a provision to give a birth certificate for an unattended birth based upon attestation of witnesses and proof of the mother's residence in Hawaii.
And of course Her proof of residence in Hawaii was someone else house in the newspaper's birth announcements.
What, pray tell, is the involvement of the republican party? So far, I see none.
I agree...
GREAT POST!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
No Wonder Dinghy Harry Reid was in Mental meldown over the BC Issue on the Senate Floor yesterday!:-) The RATS are in Damage Control Mode and they know the U.S.S. OBOZO Garbage Scow is taking on water at a Disasterous Rate! Who woulda guessed that OBOZO would LIE to the American Public about his place of Birth!:-) OBOZO was born in KENYA! No wonder OBOZO didn’t feel any need to put his hand on his Heart when Our National Anthem was played at Senator Harkin’s RAT ROAST last year! It wasn’t OBOZO’S National Anthem and he felt nothing good about Our “National Anthem.”:-0 That is pathetic.
Thanks Maggie
