First, birthers have to bring the courts a good case they can hear.
What would happen if Onada could not establish his birth country?
And if Obama presents his valid long form birth certificate, complete with seal and signatures, proving he was born in Hawaii, will birthers be able to move on?
I expect more states will follow Arizona’s lead and require credible country of birth proof for a candidate to be on a US predsidential ballot in that state.
That is the proper way to go in the future.
The media backed up that vetting by doing presidentail bios and fact checking—including birth certificated.
Really? I'm old and don't recall the media doing any birth certificate presenting or checking for presidential candidates.
Believe it or not my ideal outcome is that Onada finally cough up a credible record of his birth and he is a native born American. My expectation that will ever happen is zero, since he has (IMHO) failed to produce such a document up to now. There can only two reasons for that. There is no document. Or, if there is, it will prove he is Kenyon born.
I would imagine that even if he did produce a credible birth record establishing his presidency eligibility there will always be some who can’t let it go. But Onada will have brought that on himself.
I was a journalist back in the day before a journalist’s politics were allowed to color the straight news stories he/she wrote. Believe me, I would have checked presidential candidate birth certificates just as a matter of routine. No big deal would be made of it, it was just doing the job.
I believe the demrats, along with their media accomplices, knew this was a problem a long time ago. Perhaps as long ago as when they first started grooming The Marxist Onada for the presidential run. Remember back when the issue first became public:
1. The first demrat response was to challenge McCain’s citizenship because he was born in a military hospital in Panama. Gotcha, they said. Only problem McCain was born in a US military hospital which is considered US soil. Hence, McCain is a native born American IAW our Constitution. The ploy did not work.
2. A newspaper story is then floated in which a Hawaiian gov’t bureaucrat, Fujiama I think, is quoted as having seen the birth certificate. That alleged document is never included in the story. Upshot: The ploy did not work.
3. Demrats fall back on Alinsky politics of personal and group destruction tactics. The media launch a campaign to discredit the people demanding to see a credible birth record. Exactly what they are doing to Tea Partiers. All these people are right wing extremist kooks. People like Bob Beckall, a demrat political operative, sneeringly repeat the media nonsense. Ploy does not work.
4. Several documents appear from nowhere which the demrats insist that we accept as credible proof of Onada’s birth country. Those documents are fraudulent in and of themselves. Nor do they even meet the standard for birth country proof.
And that’s where we are today.
