Second General Backs Lakin Says President Should Produce Birth Certificate

A second General has come out in support of former Greeley resident Lieutenant Colonel Terry Lakin, who is challenging in court President Obama’s eligibility to be President, saying a good leader would gladly produce the documentation and put this issue to rest.

This past Friday, Lt. Col Lakin attended a military hearing to face several charges including missing a movement. Following the hearing, Lakin was ordered not to speak to the press and was immediately taken by military escort back to Walter Reed Medical Center without even being permitted to speak to his lawyer.

Lakin is being represented by both military and civilian counsel. Margaret Hemenway, spokeswoman for Lt. Col. Lakin said one of his attorneys Paul Rolf Jensen is considering filing a complaint over the manner his client was treated following the hearing.

Army Major General (Ret) Jerry Curry a decorated combat veteran has issued statement saying he agrees with Lakin that the President should provide proof of eligibility. Curry served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Carter Administration, as Press Secretary to the Secretary of Defense for the Reagan Administration, and has worked in international relations, public affairs, management, aviation, and research and development.

General Curry lamented that members of the military were having to raise the issue “It shouldn’t be the Lieutenant Colonels, Sergeants and Generals in the Army it should be the Congressman and Senators on both sides of the issue asking this man to step up to the plate” and provide the proof to the American people. Curry expressed concern for Lakin telling the Gazette “the administration will do its best to destroy him personally.”

Curry said as a leader the President should “look the American people in the eye” and say “I am under a cloud because there are some folks that think I am illegitimate. If you will tell me what you think I need to provide to cause you to throw this mess out the window, and to understand that I am legitimate then I will provide what you folks want because the most important thing is this country and carrying out the constitution.”

An honorable man and a real leader would have put this to rest a long time ago.

Obama can’t.

You are absolutely right! If he could he would, if for no other reason than to embarrass those who doubt, but he can't because he is not a natural born citizen and he and all his handlers know it.

I suspect the reason the military whisked Lakin straight to Walter Reed was to put him in the psych ward and claim he is crazy. Sad to say but that is not uncommon in the military and may be coming to a city near you under Obamacare.

If he is not a US Citizen, then we have a serious problem. We have Felony charges for every one who helped commit the fraud, and we have “The Chosen One” humiliated and unceremoniously thrown out of office.

I for one, question whether a fraud of this magnitude could be perpetrated.

However, the ONLY reason to withhold it is narcisism.

[troy McClure]

Its starting to look like we may have Oboozer sitting in Leavenworth shortly.

[oneamericanvoice]

Missed a movement? Was escorted back to Walter Reed? Credibility issue.

[mcshot]

If that is possible I’ll pray for it or most anything else to legally save this Country.

So are we going to start labeling retired generals as ‘birthers’ now??

For two retired Generals, yes.

“If Tea Party groups are to maximize their influence on policy, they must now begin the difficult task of disassociating themselves from cranks and conspiracy nuts. This includes 9/11 deniers, ‘birthers’ who insist Barack Obama was not born in the U.S., and militia supporters espousing something vaguely close to armed rebellion.”

We need to start up a site named WikiBirth

All that have access can aid transparency by posting all of Obamas records on line.

I am certain the liberals will appreciate this.

Second General Backs Lakin Says President Should Produce Birth Certificate

. . . . SP's on the thread.

[Thanks Smokeyblue.]

I worry that the birth certificate flap is being used by Obama to distract us from other issues, such as his citizenship, passports, and college loans.

Our soldiers are the ones at risk if he is not a legitimate commander in chief, and other governments decide to charge our military with “war crimes”.

Please tell me I am just a worry-wort, and that this could never happen!

[Pining_4_TX]

Lots of things, in fact. What about the payments to black farmers from the Dept. of Ag? I read that there were way more claims than there were black farmers, and that Sherrod and Obama were instrumental in doling out the money. Is that ever going to be investigated?

[dusttoyou]

Even having to put up with a Junta for a little while would be worth witnessing that.

VP Biteme would need some clean drawers. Hitlery n slick would be moving to Hateee, their Caribean kingdom.

Karl Rove is an Obot kneepadder? Who knew?

[little jeremiah]

Thanks for bringing that up.

[edge919]

Curry isn’t insisting Obama was not born in the U.S., so I guess you need a new answer and a new label??

[edge919]

More likely a sandhead instead of faither. Just don’t know the facts.

Can't disagree with him at all. But our gutless wonders won't touch it.

Don’t try to kill the messenger.
The label and the article comes directly from the Greeley, Colorado Gazette. FreeRepublic doesn’t like it when posters try to change the title of newspaper articles.

I am delighted to see however that you actually read the article and that your reading comprehension skills appear to be improving. Good work, Edge! I’m proud of you.

[stevio]

Well if these retired guys are doing it maybe the active guys might follow.

There’s always a price to pay for leading a pruincipled life. But the inner feeling of being ethical is never lost. In this case he is also providing a service to his country.
