Don't look, birthers: Obama's passport
Politico ^ | August 17, 2010 | Josh Gerstein

Posted on 08/17/2010 11:13:03 AM PDT by Natural Born 54

Here's something new for the birthers to chew over: President Barack Obama's passport. Says he was born in Hawaii! But the White House has strategically fuzzed out certain data, so the mystery continues.

Now, it's his official passport, which means it's new, so the true believers will not be persuaded. Not that they ever would.

That’s the biggest crock of sh&t I’ve heard recently, troll. Do a search for US passport images. About 10 million of them on the internet.

Now red, stop asking inconvenient questions like that. Just because you can nail down the address and zip code at which each of our few handfuls of presidents were born doesn’t mean you should start criticizing people because they can’t get anymore specific than “Hawaii” when asked about Obama’s birthplace.

(An answer that wouldn’t satisfy a beat cop during a traffic stop should hardly be adequate qualification to become President!)

Name of hospital.

Name of doctor.

Let’s start with that, and go from there.

It’s hard to say what date is printed under the blurred out area. Not sure why they blurred it out. It’s just an issue/expiration date. Kind of strange.

This is a valid passport, and that is why the admin is so willing to show it. But was it based on accurate information? Such as... was it based on his Certificate of Live Birth instead of his long form Birth Certificate which we are yet to see. That is the question and that is where the real debate still stands.

If it was issued any time after March 2008 when his passport file was sanitized it means nothing.

Are you using the example of where Clinton went to College as an example of education. I’m sure you can do better than that.

That passport proves nothing regarding his Constitutional eligibility to serve as POTUS.

As has been mentioned. The dates have been blurred out. Why? Why in the world would they think it important to hide that information?

The passport could have been obtained as a matter of the political office he held/or usurps now.

We have no idea what proof...if ANY was provided to obtain it.

Furthermore, and most importantly...it doesn't make him a Natural Born Citizen. His father was a foreigner. He (Barry) was born (by birthright) a subject to the crown of her majesty the Queen of England regardless of where he may have been born. He never was then, nor could be now a Natural Born Citizen of the U.S.

Interesting to note the timing of it's partial release. I say partial, because again, part of the information on it is hidden from the public. Are they fearful the public is finally waking up to the idea that a usurper is "running" the country (into the ground) and "commanding" the armed forces? Perhaps.

A bit strange to blur only the dates of issue and expiry.
What was the point of releasing this, I wonder..?

I love the comments, though.

Really? So, the Issue Date and Expiration Date is the security Feature? Really? Hmmm, interesting? Who would have ever thought that the US would use that info as the security feature.

Actually, I think I've figured out the real reason for the blurring.

Obama's people want to keep the Birthers stirred up as much as possible -- the louder the circus gets, the more Obama's opponents are made to look like clowns. How better to agitate the conspiracy-minded than to ostentatiously hide something?

I am reminded of the "Looney Tunes" episode where Bugs Bunny tricks a couple of crooks into hiding in the stove, and then makes a big show of stepping in front of the stove and saying, "They're not in the stove!" Well, Obama has tricked some of you into climbing into the stove, and now his cronies are turning on the gas and throwing in the match to blow up your credibility.

Perhaps it shows his mother and father not married...don't know. But something weird is on that long form.

Probably proof that he was actually hatched from a reptile.

You have it wrong. Pakistan did not allow entry to anyone with a US passport at that time (1981). So the question is NOT whether it was OK to go to Pakistan on a US passport, but whether Pakistan allowed US passports entry at that time.

This issue is about the rule of law. I agree that we need to get conservatives elected. But if every level of government, media, and law enforcement is as lawless as I have found them to be on this issue, it won’t even matter what laws are made - because they are broken constantly and with impunity.

Before you think this is just a piddly “nuisance” issue, please get acquainted with some facts. There’s a summary at http://butterdezillion.wordpress.com/2010/08/09/the-summary-cnn-doesnt-want-you-to-see/ which links to a post which explains why this is not just a distraction and another which gives the evidence and documentation.

The media is able to ridicule this issue rather than report accurately because some “conservatives” want to back off on it. Do you want to back off on border control? On repealing the unconsitutional healthcare takeover? Net neutrality? All that stuff is critical because it’s about the rule of law - just as this is about the rule of law. But all the other violations of our Constitution were allowed to happen because of this one. This is the root from whence came all the other stuff.

We can prune branches one at a time, or we can kill all the branches by taking out the tap root.

My money is on taking out the tap root.
