The Attorney and the LTC tried to do a good job with the issue. Dual citizenship is split loyalty. Anderson the teabagger threw a hissy fit! Great TV! I hope their ratings where through the roof.

I saw the end of it. Cooper was totally ignorant. Waving around Obamas hoax certificate. Had no answer when asked why Obama won’t produce his real one.

[butterdezillion]

We don’t get cable and nothing my husband has tried will get my computer to load what’s necessary for me to see videos. (Funny things happen when you speak out against Obama’s eligibility, ya know?) So I can’t see what happened.

It’s probably a good thing in this case because wilfully ignorant people like Cooper really bug me.

Was it pointed out that the HDOH has indirectly confirmed that the Factcheck COLB is a forgery?

I smell fear.

[SmokingJoe]

The “Tea Bagging” Cooper was running scared like crazy.
Repeatedly tried to talk over the lawyer, and was totally cared to let him talk.

[EternalVigilance]

Lt. Col. Lakin and his attorney did an AWESOME job.

The worst example of “journalism” I’ve ever seen from Cooper. And THAT takes some doing.

Anderson the teabagger threw a hissy fit! Great TV!.....

It boggles the mind why a trained and experienced interviewer like Cooper should almost fall over himself. His blood pressure must have shot up. All he had to do was ask "Just the facts please, just the facts"- which is what he was getting.

Lakin and his lawyer did very well by and large. Cooper laid his traps and they refused to step into them. Furthermore, they even managed to sneak a few facts into interview. The lawyer's recitation of Hawaii statute was priceless. I thought it went as well as it possibly could have for the ambush that it was. The story has legs and it will continue to use them (and at an accelerated rate as Obama and his administration continue destroying the nation).

[wac3rd]

Cooper was going wild and fighting for Obama, they are nakes Marxists and traitors, they need to be viewed as such.

[Plutarch]

If Birthers are so ridiculous, how is it that AC needed to be so hyper-aggressive? Wouldn't just letting the Lt. Col and attorney talk demonstrate that they were kooks?

Anderson Cooper did an excellent job, and followed the script perfectly. Cooper's job, just like most of those in MSM, the legislature, and perhaps elements of a complicit military high command, was to keep the focus on a birth certificate just as the trolls do on Free Republic. Cooper showed some temper and kept pounding the birth certificate so that even if Lakin or his attorney had wanted to explain natural born citizenship, he wasn't giving them the opening.

Even Gordon Liddy fell for the ploy “If he would simply show us his long form birth certifiicate all of this would be over.” Sad to see Liddy taken in. Remember, every senator in 2008, assisted by former HSA Secretary and federal judge Michael Chertoff said McCain was a natural born citizen “because both of his parents were citizens.” - Senate Res. 511. Every senator is playing dumb - dumber having seen how quickly the ethics charges appeared when congressman Nathan Deal sent a letter to the White House asking for some help because his constituents were asking for more assurance of Obama’s eligibility.

Lakin’s attorney (this appears to be the second one) did suggest that one issue was natural born citizenship, but returned to mucking with the details of the validity of the COLB. I fear that either Lakin’s patriotism is being used for the grand display of a Hawaiian birth certificate, at which time all mention of natural born citizenship will be discounted (a ploy which Leo Donofrio recognized over a year ago). Then Obama will graciously dismiss charges against Col Lakin who will quietly disappear from the public stage. Lakin could be in on it, but I like to think not.

The birth certificate is irrelevant. A Constitutional natural born citizen is “born on the soil of citizen parents.” Obama’s father was never a citizen. Obama II states that he was “Born a subject of the British Commonwealth”. No further proof is necessary. Citizen parents (two of them) as cited by four chief justices of the supreme court. Our republic has no other definition. Google The Venus, 12 U.S. 253, par 289, chief justice John Marshall. Obama is not a natural born citizen.

To get a concise history of presidential eligibility go to http://puzo1.blogspot.com and the U of Connecticut's http://undeadrevolution.wordpress.com. Then read James Wilson on the Law of Nations, Joseph Story Rules for Interpreting the Constitution, James Kent's Founders on Citizenship. There is practically no end of writing by our framers, founders and justices, and all of it confirms the primacy of Vattel in structuring of our legal foundation. Jefferson taught from Vattel at William and Mary. Madison too, and was president of William and Mary. Marshall, a cousin of Jefferson, attended. The truth takes a bit of work to ferret out, but there is simply no other conclusion that if we allow Obama to stay, we have decided that the Constitution doesn't have to be respected. Our republic has now ceased to be based upon a Constitution - unless we insist now!

This “interview” was a disgrace. Anderson is full of himself, and this is a prime example. If guests are invited for an interview it should be exactly that, and not a session with a fish-wife.

I have enormous respect for LTC Lakin, and none for Anderson Cooper.

Any mention of the 1st lady being a birther?

There are 2 Youtube videos so far of her saying Obama was born in Kenya.

Even NPR calls Obama “Kenyan-born” in an archived article.
