Barack Obama’s Birth Certificate : Why It Matters
News Max ^ | August 5, 2009 | Christopher Ruddy

Posted on 08/05/2009 5:58:35 PM PDT by RobinMasters

Where was Barack Obama born?

It’s a fair question.

But we still don’t know the answer because Obama won’t tell us, because he remains the most mysterious man ever to sit in the Oval Office.

This week I appeared on Bill O’Reilly’s No. 1 rated “The O’Reilly Factor” to discuss the controversy over Obama’s birth certificate, along with syndicated radio host Mike Gallagher. [See the video of my appearance — Click Here Now.]

Let me make clear that I believe Obama was born somewhere in the state of Hawaii. Days after his birth, a small legal notice was printed in the local newspaper announcing his birth.

And the head of Hawaii's Health Department has stated that he reviewed pertinent documents and that Obama was indeed born in that state.

So, those who believe Obama was born outside the United States, such as in Kenya, are simply out to lunch.

But the real story here is about Obama’s failure to release his birth certificate.

Asking for the transparency we were promised makes us crazy conspiracy theorists.

Gee what happens when we start asking for the cash for clunkers data?

If that's how you want to sell it to CYA and make yourself look "mainstream", be my guest. I still have my doubts.

I wouldn’t be surprised if BHO released all of that information, right after announcing something major like a huge middle class tax increase. Then he would sit back and watch the media distract the sheep with details about his personal life. Alinsky must be smiling.

Im confused a bit by what these guys are saying... “I believe he was born in Hawaii but show us the b/c anyway...” What is their point? It just seems like they want it both ways. They dont want to be named “Birther” but they still want to play the game.

I’m just certain Ruddy, Gallagher, and O’Reilly don’t care a whit that they have lost credibility with nobody me. But then I don’t know from what incredible (like in not believeable) exhibts there are just where the affirmative action bastard was born what name he used to enter Occidental, what /who paid his expenses, what grades he made, what passport nationality he traveled on in 1980-81, etc. Since these blowhard faux conservatives don’t know either, I am left to conclude that they don’t need proof to do as they’ve been tolds, to repeat the bilge they’ve ordered to spew.

The most important reason for Obama to release his BC is that without it he does not deserve the trust of the American people. Failure to prove his qualification means that the military can never be certain that the orders they are expected to carry out are legitimate orders. Worse still, he leaves himself wide open to blackmail by any enemy who might have the goods on him. Who knows what kind of compromises with national security he might make because of this issue?

But none of this matters to The One. It's all about him.

Why? Liberals should want Obama's birth certificate for historical purposes. Look, when Chissy Matthews does his annual pilgrimage to Hawaii, how will he know what site to visit for the birth site of his Obamessiah. Or what doctor he should worship for bring his savior into the world.

Matthews isnt asking for his birth certificate, our side is. My point being a good number of our people are saying I believe he is a citizen but where is the certificate. Meaning to me they dont believe he is either they just dont want to be called a “birther”. They are pansies. Just say what you mean, Where is the damn B/C.

>>Barack Obama’s Birth Certificate : Why It Matters<<

.
Hell yes, it matters. Are we not entitled to know who he is instead of accepting an enigma in the WH? Why even ask the question? Who in the hell is he?

Politicians FU’d by not establishing his identity before the elections, let’s not perpetuate this mistake. He is not above our law. He may be a national security risk, for all we know — don’t we care about our survival? Is the privacy of one public figure worth more than the welfare of a nation of almost 300 million lives?

WTF is the matter with us?

I have no idea why this is so complicated for people.

Plainly there is something in that BC that BO does not want anyone to see, or he would have released it eons ago. Dittos for his medical records and college transcripts. Is this important? Each will have to decide for him or herself.

But transparency it ain't.

Then we stop calling ourselves birthers & call ourselves Constitutionalists instead. Don’t let the enemy define us.

I also don’t know where Obama was born, and I do not say he was born in Kenya. And Ruddy at least pinpoints out the focal point of this controversy, that Obama won’t release his longform, but Ruddy makes two errors in the first few sentences that cause me to wonder what dark cavity he has put his head. I mean we need friggin journalists to be just a tad smarter Mr. Ruddy!.

The two blatant errors are:

1. A newspaper birth announcement in a Hawaiian newpaper could be based on the Hawaii COLB which is known can be issued for infants not born in the Islands. Therefore, a newspaper announce is not proof of anything.

2. The official in Hawai’i’s vital records office who stated that Obama’s birth certificate was on file in accordance with relevant state laws, may simply have referred to a COLB was on file in accordance with state law. Again a COLB does not prove a child was born in the Islands as Hawai’i will issue COLBs for infants not born in the Islands if certain conditions are met.

Therefore, Mr. Ruddy has not his homework and should never have spoken out without having a command of the facts.

If I see him at a booth or convention or whatever, I will give him a first order tongue lashing over this and any other issue where he thinks he can slide by because all he needs is to be on someone’s rolodex to get a paid gig on the air.

Dumbass.

We need to tighten up our side of press punditry, let them know they don’t get a free pass with us. There is no excuse for not knowing the facts because there are some first-class researchers that chase down crucial details and then publish them on the web with references and backup supporting documentation. No friggin excuses for lazy ass punditry.

Has this been verified? If true then I think it likely precludes the born in Kenya theory.

I am more interested in the documentation used to travel to Pakistan in the early 1980’s. I believe U S citizens were prohibited from travelling their under a U S passport.

No, not prohibited. For Americans, there was an advisery and one needed a sponsor to get beyond the airport, but American citizens were not prohibited.
