“No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States” Article II Section I, Constitution, United States of America.
That’s quite a plain and straightforward set of requirements for those seeking to be President–just three little things. You would think we would never have a problem with anyone trying to sneak past these points, but I’m sad to say we do.
One of the grandest myths of the past couple of years is the lie that Barack Obama has proven his eligibility to be President–he has done no such thing, nor has he been called upon to do so by those in authority. The lie that Obama has proven himself is repeated ad nauseam by the mouths of the leftist media and Washington spokesmen. I marvel at the vicious passion they display on this topic.
But, guess what! It’s not just those on the left, but also many on the right, who treat the subject of Obama’s eligibility as kryptonite. I assume they fear being painted as nutjobs, or maybe they fear something worse happening to them. Why? Because the left has waged a massive, blaring campaign to discredit and demean the many millions of Americans who ask the simple question, “Where was Barack Obama born?” It is an amazing thing to see how the left, and some on the right, go into rabid overdrive when this subject is broached.
Please don’t repeat the big lie to me that the online image of that computer-generated document proves Obama was born in Hawaii. It does not. Assuming it is a legitimate document, it only proves that Obama was born alive, but it does not establish where he was born, since Hawaii would issue those certifications to babies born outside of the United States. Nor do two newspaper announcements establish where he was born.
If he was born in the United States, why all the secrecy? If he was born in the U.S., it is possible that he renounced his U.S. citizenship at some point, which would nullify his eligibility to be president. At the very least, he would have been born with dual citizenship, as his father was a British subject at the time of Obama’s birth, making Obama Constitutionally ineligible to be president. Understand that I am not claiming to know where Obama was born. I do not know. What I do know is that he is hiding something quite significant.
The media campaign to label as wackos those of us who demand to see proof of Obama’s eligibility is successful to the point that, “Oh, I’m no ‘birther!’” is a common disclaimer out of the the mouths of politicians and pundits on the right who are offering any criticism of Obama’s agenda. Again, I wonder, of what are they afraid?
What about all the judges who have almost uniformly ruled no one “has standing” to bring suit against the Obama administration? There have been numerous lawsuits demanding that Obama prove his Constitutional eligibility to serve as President, and with nearly no exceptions, judges refuse to hear the cases. How can American citizens have “no standing” to bring a case against a potential usurper to our presidency? If we don’t have standing, then who does?
Who is getting to all these judges? I know there are many, many leftist judges in our courts, but not all of them are. Are these judges receiving credible death threats toward themselves or their families? Is this what causes them, almost to a man, to toss out these legitimate lawsuits? It is astonishing and perplexing. The Obama administration has, so far, apparently spent close to two million dollars fighting the release of his pertinent documents.
This is about much more than a copy of an original long-form birth certificate. Unlike our previous presidents, almost none of Obama’s past documentation has been made available to the public. Hidden deep in the cavernous well of mystery of Obama’s past, lie his school records, which include kindergarten, Punahou school, Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard, plus his theses and other articles that would have been written, his medical records, his passport records (which would likely be very revealing), his complete records from his time in the Illinois state senate, his adoption records, his mother’s marriage and divorce records, and his Illinois state bar association records.
His missing college records are important, because they could indicate that he received financial aid as a foreign student. Who did fund his college expenses? Harvard ain’t cheap, you know.
So, this week the video surfaces of Michelle Obama giving her speech in which she casually names Kenya as Obama’s “home country“. This has served to ramp up the debate, and I’m wondering why this video is popping up just now, when that speech was given back in 2008.
Massive credit must be given to Joseph Farah and the hardworking staff at World Net Daily for their bold and tireless efforts to get to the bottom of the Obama nativity story. They have done all the heavy lifting and research and have taken harsh arrows of derision from the left and many on the right for keeping this issue alive. But, they’re not going to drop it, and I commend them.
Glenn Beck, Andrew Breitbart and Bill O’Reilly come to mind as those on the “conservative” side who suddenly sound like they’re on MSNBC when it comes to the Obama eligibility subject. The common argument is that there are so many other, more important, issues for which to criticize the Obama administration without having to go to that “stupid birther” topic. Allow me to point out the obvious and the bottom line here. If Obama actually is Constitutionally ineligible to serve as President of the United States, then every single decree, piece of congressional legislation and executive order that has crossed Obama’s desk since January 20, 2009 is null and void. His entire presidency is invalidated, and he should stand trial for his crimes against our country.
I’m certainly not holding my breath here for the truth to be manifest. But now, each day brings new, horrifying revelations about what is in this hellish Obamacare legislation. Our chances of defeating it in the courts are daunting. If only the truth about Obama’s past were brought to light, Obamacare would be negated.
Do those in power on the right fear riots in the streets if Obama is exposed as the fraud so many of us suspect he is? I don’t know, and I don’t really care what they fear. I don’t care who wants to label me as a nutcase for demanding that the Constitution be upheld. If we don’t stand up for the Constitution, it will be buried by the communists who currently run our government. They are going to ram through every abominable, anti-Constitutional piece of legislation they can get their dirty hands on before the November elections.
Those of us who smell a big, fat rat in Obama’s past must not fear being labeled crazy for speaking out against this potential usurper of our presidency–labeling us wacky is the best they can do instead of revealing the truth about Obama. Now, more than ever, we must turn up the heat, turn up the volume on demanding this man prove to our nation that he is legally occupying the White House. There is nothing crazy about insisting that our precious Constitution be upheld. Don’t back down or be afraid to speak your mind on this paramount subject, my friends!
Mr. Obama, where’s the birth certificate?

Gina Miller, a native of Texas, is a radio disc jockey. She also works with her husband installing and repairing residential irrigation systems and doing landscaping on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Comments? I’ll know who to call for repairs on my hydroponic marijuana system. As for the Constitutional language, I read that as saying you had to be a natural born citizen at the time of the adoption of the Constitution. Very few of our 44 presidents have met that standard.
watched some of his videos today. very interesting. what do you make of them??
Here is what it says (assuming you quoted it correctly): “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President;”
Those pesky commas, just like in the Second Amendment, leave much doubt as to the intended meaning. Why is there a comma in between “States” and “at”?
I’m not Gina, my name is Fred.
Okay, sorry. Assuming Gina quoted it correctly.

Excerpt:
...”She titled the paper, written to fulfill her Bachelor of Arts degree at Wellesley College, “There is Only the Fight.” It praises the work of radical activist Saul Alinsky, a man who epitomized a self-interested no-holds barred campaign style that Hillary has emulated in later years. Clinton’s savvy-but-ruthless politics, including the “politics of personal destruction” she so often condemns but more often practices, seem rooted in Alinsky’s famous rules for radicals.
One year after Hillary turned in her thesis, Time Magazine profiled Alinsky. Their assessment was much different than hers. It said, “In his [Alinsky’s] view, the end of achieving power justifies a range of means…If the occasion requires, Alinsky’s forces will not refrain from spreading rumors about an antagonist or indulging in something that comes very close to blackmail.”
Young Hillary balked at Alinsky’s critics who said he was too extreme. In her college paper she professed, “Much of what Alinsky professes does not sound radical. His are the words used in our churches, by our parents and their friends, by our peers. The difference is that Alinsky really believes in them and recognizes the necessity of changing the present structures of our lives in order to realize them.” While she wrote, Hillary Rodham learned....”
Bottom line: She’d just pick up where he left off.
I do not condone that.
BTTT
Let’s compile a reference list of all the sources of information. The O-List.
Also, we can ridicule back: The Gullibles.
Why?
There are many sites on the web with snippets of info.
BC
Passport records
College records (foreign exchange student?)
Social Security number history
Who got him into Harvard
Who paid for his college
The list is endless and there is no data available.
Some powerful group put this “post turtle” in the WH.
Secondly, there seems to be such scant evidence, and some of it dealt with during Obama's trip to Hawaii, that no serious commentator is going to stand up and pursue Obama's origins. Of course a starting point would be his bogus SSN.
I smell real fear as well among the media types and the pols.
She couldn’t do it herself. If Hillary was the nominee , she would need the black vote to win.
Obama was to have been her VP. If you remember, Hillary was the shoo-in candidate. McCain's job was to run a half-assed campaign and then throw in the towel, as he finally did for Obama (which is why Palin annoyed him so much by actually trying to win the election).
The primary was supposed to be a faux-battle leading up to her annointing. Then during one debate between her and Edwards and Obama, Edwards turned to her and said "Now, Hillary..." and went on to expose the actual fallacy of her position, and Obama chimed in with him. It was the turning point - the very tone of how she was addressed made her raise her eyebrows, and in a split-second she knew she was betrayed. No one ever addressed her so cavalierly, so casually, let alone actually attacked her for real. Then the battle was engaged, and she got kicked to the curb just like she's kicked so many others to the curb - and rendered invisible the way she's so proud of having done to others for so very long.
Since then she's been biding her time. She's not someone who forgives traitors - to the contrary, she makes examples out of them. And now they stole her healthcare bill and claimed it as their own! LOL - she's steaming mad. We haven't heard the last of her by a long shot!
1- we should put a thread here for everyone to post whatever they find and then all can see it. When all data is in one location, it has more impact than the snippets spread all over the Internet.
2- that powerful group includes Soros; we don’t know who the other big players are.
Go Rev. Manning! He is on the right track. Obama is a CIA operative recruited by Bush 1, was expected to lose to Hillary, and when he won Iowa, as outlined so clearly by “Talisker”, everyone who knows Obama’s true identity kept quiet.
Thus, “TheThinker” is correct: “I smell real fear as well among the media types and the pols.” I do, too.
