The author maintains an illusion of reasonableness by conveniently leaving out some salient facts. 0bummer has spent nearly $2 million dollars to keep his long form BC hidden. He mentions this...

Distinguished careers were destroyed in the attempt to uncover details about President Bush’s past.

But fails to say this...

They even fabricated a document out of whole cloth in order to uncover details about President Bush.

It's easy to put a mellow light on something when you neglect to reveal the whole truth.

Obama has created this mess because of his arrogance.

The arrogance is a defense mechanism. He created the mess because he has something to hide.

[Dryman]

“FREE THE LONG FORM!”

[Kaslin]

Not only his birth certificate, but also his school records from Columbia and Harvard and what ever other school he is hiding his record from

[Red Steel]

Had the liberal media properly vetted this dude, we may not be here right now trying to uncover Obama’s hidden past.

[TigersEye]

The sad part is this nonsense is used to attack websites like this one.

That sounds like prison shower room logic.

"We'll stop beating you with soap bars in socks when you bend over for us."

I too believe that Obama is a “Natural born” citizen.

I also agree with Ronald Reagan’s “Trust, but verify” policy.

If there is no requirement for a President to release his complete birth records the US Constitution has been made irrelevant in it’s requirements for the nation’s highest political office.

The Birthers are this administration’s incarnation of the “Impeach Bush” crowd. And they will have the same results. For as long as Barky is President you will have the Birthers just as the “Impeach Bush” crowd was there until the end. In the end, Obama will out last the birthers like Bush outlasted the “Impeach Bush” clowns.

Your arguments imply that since "birthers" wish to have The Constitution upheld, they are somehow on the fringe? What other parts of The Constituiton do you feel should be ignored?

"Birthers" may not succeed in getting Hussein the Usurper removed, but it is only due to the fact that others refuse to comply with their oath to protect and defend The Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Infer that if you want. I said no such thing. I only stated that nothing will come of it and drew a comparison to the "Impeach Bush" crowd that practically made the center of their very lives seeing Bush impeached and failed. Kind of like saying , "My name is Diego Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." And losing the first sword fight.

The courts are in Obama's pocket. The justice deparment is in Obama's pocket. Hawaii is like Berkley-Pacific. He is not going to toss up a birth certificate no matter what. I am not saying the birthers are wrong or that the Constitution is not under assault. I just do not see this going anywhere.

[missnry]

In the spirit of full disclosure, I am not a birther. I happen to believe that President Obama was born in Hawaii ...

Nick, how do I say this? You're a dumba$$! You are typical of the crowd today that operates on "feelings" and not on facts!

Nick, you BELIEVE Obama was born in Hawaii of US Citizen parents! Great, you are in the same category as millions who BELIEVE in the Easter Bunny! You can beLIEve Barack Obama's handlers if you want to. The facts are that Barack Obama still refuses to release his birth document that reveals his hospital of birth and the parents of his birth.

[DallasSun]

I agree. Nothing will ever come of it except it seems to cost Republicans their credibility. I am sorry that this has happened. We as Republicans are labelled as fools. That is a broad brush that we are being painted with unfortunatley.

[FelixFelicis]

Excellent analysis. I also think the Birther movement is nothing but free propaganda for Obama. Thanks to the Birthers, he can paint himself as the victim of a teeming mob of conspiracist kooks - racist, of course - without ever having to say so outright. All he has to do is sit back and let the images (carefully selected by the complicit media) speak for themselves.

Birthers, he’s playing you like a fiddle. If I were Barack Obama, I’d NEVER release my “long form” birth certificate.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Ping.

[The Sons of Liberty]

I believe that the states failed, when the elections officers took the democratic party's certification as gospel, that Hussein met the qualifications to be POTUS. Each state should demand that candidates present valid documents to the state election officials before their name is placed on the ballot in that state. Placing an unqualified candidate's name on the ballot, based on a third party (especially one with a vested interest) is unacceptable, and borders on malfeasance and could result in those voting to become disenfranchised. Had only ONE state demanded proof, there is a good chance the marxist would not be sitting in The White House dictating to us about our health care.

This must be corrected in 2012!

[Ticonderoga34]

McCain released his birth certificate, why not Obama?

At first I was in the camp of: “I think that he was born in Hawaii but he should release his BC anyway”. Now as the issue goes on, I think there is something funny there.

The Clinton people started this whole BC issue, a fact that the MSM ignores. The Clintons know something and my bet is that they are holding it over Barry.

I also think that Obama will step side in 2012 and let Hillary run for POTUS. I think that the Clintons and Barry made a deal in 2008 that Barry would serve one term and then let Hillary run 2012. That would be one of the reasons that Barry is trying to ram Obama-care into law despite most Americans being against it. He doesn’t care, he isn’t running in 2012 anyway.

Another idiot who thinks a President with dual citizenship is Constitutional.

The owner isn't worried.
