New Hampshire State Rep. Laurence Rappaport, R-Colebrook, is tired of telling his constituents that he's not sure of Barack Obama's eligibility to serve as president.
So late last week, Rappaport says, he met with New Hampshire's secretary of state, William Gardner, who oversees the state's elections, to demand answers. Rappaport took with him a pair of allegedly genuine, Kenyan birth certificates that declare Obama was born in Africa, and not in the U.S., as has been widely reported.
"Several of my constituents have raised the issue, 'Where was Mr. Obama born? Was he born in Kenya, or was he born in Hawaii?'" Rappaport told WND. "I have two Kenyan birth certificates that I presented to Mr. Gardner, and he said he would 'look into it.'"
"Regardless of where he was born, is he a natural born citizen as required by the Constitution? I don't know the answer to that," Rappaport said. "My understanding is that … a natural born citizen had to be someone with two American parents. If that's true, his father was a Kenyan and therefore a British subject at the time. Then there's the issue: If he was born out of the country, was his mother old enough at the time to confer citizenship?
"I expect somebody to come up with the legal answers to this," Rappaport told WND, "and so far that hasn't happened."

Ping.
BUMP
If Obama were a Republican, we’d know the truth by the end of the week.

I’ll look into it.
As in:
We’re running it through the proper channels. (One more flush should do it)...
NH action ping
What does he mean, “I have two Kenyan birth certificates that I presented to Mr. Gardner, and he said he would ‘look into it.”
Did he print copies off the internet?
I say let’s set a precedent. For the next 14 days
all reporters should ask Gibbs to ask the President
to show us his birth certificate. The American
people are requesting it. And not ask any other
questions.
This will only mean something under two conditions:
(1) The NH SecState will ACTUALLY conduct a REAL and FULL investigiation.
(2) The NH SecState has the power to force Hawaii to release the long form of POTUS Obama’s BC and any related documents.
I doubt either will occur. I wised they would.
