Well obviously this should have done BEFORE the election. But just because we were failed by by the media and the persons who had the responsibility to look into this does not need the issue should be dropped. The poor hounded victim of whom you speak promised to have the most transparent administration in history yet he refuses to release even the most basic documents. A huge portion of the electorate is suspicious as to why this is being done.
If McCain had won, and the left had pulled this kind of stuff, we would be incensed.
Do you actually read what is posted about McCain around here? Despite tha fact that very few of us can stand him, he released everything that has been asked of Obama BEFORE the election. Your arguments remind me of a few we had with our daughter when she was a teenager. Basically it came down to... I got away with it so why are you bringing it up now? Getting away with it does not make it right and does not mean the action cannot be corrected even if it is inconvenient.
Particularly when the issues (Birtherism) are lame to the point of foolishness.
First the term (Birtherism) is offensive. We have a man who has been given the ability to destroy our country and the rest of the world who has chosen to keep his past an unverifiable mystery. You don't find this suspicious? You think it is lame to demand that he produces the documents that traditionally other presidents have released? I think you need to look a little more closely into what is being asked and why.
This is a more reasonable explanation. Blindly following him is probably even a more accurate description.
Yep, thats exactly what I’m saying.
Its kook theory and a waste of time. JMHO.
And it gives Owe-bama a chance to plead ‘victim’ when he will need it most.
Dumb politics.
lol
Do you really care what the left thinks of you? I don’t think you do.
WRONG!
FYI, in this instance birth place is not the issue, indigenous Hawaiian ancestry is.
“President Obama’s secrecy about his past and the media’s apparent lack of interest in it does not assume that they are colluding to cover something up”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Naw, they’re not covering up.
They are not covering up how much they love the man that causes all those “tingles” up their posteriors.
History will make a laughingstock of these media clowns.

Hey, you buy a pig in a poke, you got a pig in a poke. Live with it. You want a do-over! The country elected him. You don’t like the results? You don’t think you know enough about him? Tough luck. He’s the president.
So what do you do? Raise hell the next 3 years over “pre-election” stuff. It’s a free country. Knock yourself out. I’m a lot more concerned about him sleeping with Wall Street in 2010 and 2011 and 2012, than I am about his college book reports on The Lord of the Flies and Wuthering Heights. Or, the nefarious Kindergarten Papers of Barack Hussein Obama.
parsy, who says the Birth Suspicious Persons (is that PC enough ?) remind him of Al Gore and the Florida election thingie
FYI, in this instance birth place is not the issue, indigenous Hawaiian ancestry is.
You're kidding, right? A COLB says exactly NOTHING. They can be amended and changed. An original BC cannot.
Do you ever think things through before spouting off?
No, I don’t. However, I do care that this ridiculous theory will be turned upon the GOP in 2012, and help Owe-bama when he’s going to need it the most.
He’s a failed one term President if the wild eye’d conspiracy theory types are ignored by the party.
Badeye, the man lies about everything. We should believe him when he claims he's eligible? Nope. If we don't defend the Constitution, then we don't deserve it.
Watching the kneepadders defend their obamessiah placemarker
“If McCain had won, and the left had pulled this kind of stuff, we would be incensed.” No Parsi. Nice try though ... we would have Sarah Palin as sitting President by now if McCain had won and the left had exposed factual evidence that McCain was ineligibile according to Constitutional qualifications. Why do you continue to defend this affriramtive action liar?
As you can see with lucysmom and Parsifal, they don’t just accept without question, they go out fo their way to defend the liar-in-chief and ridicule those who seek the facts of this affirmative action hire.
"What evidence do you have from a credible source that Obama campaigned for Odinga?
Why, The Washington Times, of course:
"Initially, Mr. Odinga was not the favored opposition candidate to stand in the 2007 election against President Mwai Kibaki, who was seeking his second term. However, he received a tremendous boost when Sen. Barack Obama arrived in Kenya in August 2006 to campaign on his behalf. Mr. Obama denies that supporting Mr. Odinga was the intention of his trip, but his actions and local media reports tell otherwise.
Mr. Odinga and Mr. Obama were nearly inseparable throughout Mr. Obama's six-day stay. The two traveled together throughout Kenya and Mr. Obama spoke on behalf of Mr. Odinga at numerous rallies. In contrast, Mr. Obama had only criticism for Kibaki. He lashed out against the Kenyan government shortly after meeting with the president on Aug. 25. "The [Kenyan] people have to suffer over corruption perpetrated by government officials," Mr. Obama announced.
"Kenyans are now yearning for change," he declared. The intent of Mr. Obama's remarks and actions was transparent to Kenyans - he was firmly behind Mr. Odinga. "
And, here is some glorious documentary video footage of Obama campaigning with Odinga:
Obama and Odinga Campaign in Kenya
Is that "credible" enough for you, or do you expect me to soil myself with the New York Times? Because, I can...
Now, can you truly say that you have the utmost confidence in Obama's ability to not side with Kenya and metaphorically push that red button if the Kenyan government were to "go nuclear" on America?
If so, then congratulations, you are calling Obama a heartless b****rd who will kill his own brothers and sisters without hesitation because of the actions of his own buddies in the Kenyan government---whom he helped put into power, all without the official blessings of the United States government.
Cheers
That depends on your definition of "without demand."
The St. Petersburg Times requested Obama's birth certificate in April 2008, but was denied by the campaign (fourth paragraph from the bottom). In June 2008, the campaign released the COLB.
One can argue that the St. Pete Times request was not a demand, but the Obama campaign was asked and did refuse to release the birth certificate several months before the COLB was released.

Those votes you cite were not about Obama being on the ballot, campaigning for reelection. They were a referendum on the administration and congress in part, no denying it.
But this absurd ‘birther’ crap will be used to portray Owe-bama as a ‘victim’ just as the ‘Clinton Arkancide’ nonsense was trotted out in the 1990’s. How’d that work out?
My point is its a distraction, when there are very real issues that will make Owe-Bama a one term failure ala Jimmy Carter.
This isn’t ‘defending the Constitution’. Its kook theory thats no different than ‘Bush Knew’. JMHO.
