Birth Certificate Matters

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

[Kansas58]

Don't completely agree with Ruddy, but the man has a point. Even if Obama WAS born in Hawaii, Obama is hiding something!

[Don Corleone]

And what he is hiding is devastating or he would not be hiding it. “Common Sense” tells anyone that.

[real_patriotic_american]

When someone hides something, they have something to hide.

[Sudetenland]

Maybe the fact that Frank Marshall Davis was his father? Wouldn’t that be a kick in the head? Heh heh heh.

Junior just renewed his drivers license and guess what he had to take as proof of ID?

Gee, if this Kenyan Imposter thing doesn’t work out, we can go to Uncle Frank was the real sperm donor.

[wastoute]

Logically, no matter where he exited the womb, at some point Zero embraced his British or Indonesian potential, obtaining a Passport that was either British or Indonesian and used it to travel to Pakistan and, possibly, obtain foreign student admission and perhaps even grants at college and perhaps even Law School. These activities draw into serious question whether he meets the "natural born" requirement. In Zero's mind I am sure he feels these "technicalities" trivial and fer sure the Zero-oids do but are they? For the moment apparetntly so but in reality they expose him to a very real political vulnerability that will be part of his downfall. Look for another Rat to do the deed. (Hillary?) Will he even see it coming or will it be for him like it was for a certain Roman Senator immortalized by Shakespeare? Will Rahm one day deliver a eulogy that starts, "I come not to praise Zero, but bury him..." Almost certainly for as Murphy pointed out, "Things that CAN happen WIll happen." Zero's vulnerability on this point is just too great an opportunity to pass up and his poll numbers tanking will provide the political cover such an assasination requires. At this point he will be lucky to finish out his term as a lame duck.

Ruddy doesn't get either. Obama's COLB is a secondary document. The file number printed on it links directly to the primary document, which has been sealed. Since COLB's can be issued to people who were not born in Hawaii, we have no conclusive proof where Obama was born. Relying on newspaper announcements and the word of a government official are not "proof." Nor can one rule out Kenya or anywhere else until the primary document is released. So-called journalists who characterize people being "out to lunch," who question Obama's place of birth are not doing their job.

[netmilsmom]

I don’t completely agree either. This, if you think BO was born anywhere but HI, you are nuts, is based on WHAT? Cause his maternal family says so? His paternal family says different.

I think the best way to go on this is to have ONE STATE, ONE! Adopt a law that a long form birth certificate MUST be shown before someone can run for office.

We would ditch this joker in 2012 without a problem.

[Kansas58]

I agree!
We need to get at least one State to require the “long-form” Birth Certificate.

a small legal notice was printed in the local newspaper announcing his birth.

I believe it was reported that anyone (such as Grandparents) can and do submit this information. Doesn't mean its true.

[TommyDale]

Maybe there are two Barack Hussein Obama II’s.

[Texas resident]

obama isn’t just hiding his bc, he has hidden all his past records. The bc is just one of his records that would show who this guy really is. Amazing to me that he got into the White House with his real self concealed from the American voters. And if he is hiding all his records, then he has something to hide.

Hey Barry, Watcha Hidin?

Since COLB's can be issued to people who were not born in Hawaii, we have no conclusive proof where Obama was born.

Well said. The COLB was enough to trigger the automatic creation of newspaper notices. But a COLB is not proof - and therefore the notices are not proof. COLBs could be arranged without any physical baby (!) and without any independent observer of the birth.

The primary sources are the only things that matter. And for some reason Obama doesn't seem to want to release his B/C.

[bgill]

Big whoop, Davis or Malcolm or Obama, isn’t earth shattering. It might call into question Dreams, etc. but daddy isn’t the problem. He can’t show it because it was probably a delayed bc or reported as a home delivery which would add more speculation he wasn’t born in Hawaii. Some Hawaiian college friends of O Sr., say they didn’t know a baby was on the way which falls in line with the question where Ann was before showing up in Seattle for fall semester.

Scroll past halfway to the letter from Dougan and Tretiak.

Everyone of our elected swine before having access to “Top Secret” information must have a security clearance equal to the information that they access.

Instead of all this BC garbage the congress just needs to pass legislation requiring that all elected critters must have a “Top Secret” security clearance, which of course the BC is an integral part.

Both clinton and zero wouldn’t have been able to get one and I suspect a whole bunch of those criminal worthless POS in the congress wouldn’t be granted one either.

Simple fool proof solution.

*Days after his birth, a small legal notice was printed in the local newspaper announcing his birth.*

Again, this is automatically listed after a birth, in or out of state or even out of country is registered, by the newspapers.

Didnt I see that the family never lived at the address given???

That no one there has ever seen or heard of them? Is this simple fact never to be investigated by anyone on our side?

More of the same from the Ghost Prez ???

[frankenMonkey]

"...Maybe there are two Barack Hussein Obama II’s...."

or more...

[Maurice Tift]

When someone hides something, they have something to hide.

  Exactly! It also leaves us free to speculate. Maybe someone unexpected is listed as the father. Maybe he was adopted. Maybe his real name is Leviticus Longfellow. In any case, he isn't being honest when he refuses to release the long form certificate.
