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

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.

From the link:
Moreover, during that same time period (mid-1981), New York Times assistant news editor Barbara Crossette visited Pakistan and wrote a column about her experiences, a piece in which she offered tips to other Americans who might wish to visit that country. Additionally, her column prompted a follow-up letter from John S. Brims, then the U.S. Consul General in Lahore, Pakistan, in which he "welcome[d] an influx of Americans" who might have been inspired to come to Pakistan by her article and also offered helpful tips for tourists traveling to that country by rail from India....

Many other news articles from 1981 reference either Americans' traveling to Pakistan or the Pakistan government's making efforts to encourage visits from U.S. tourists.

I personally don’t give a sh&t about that stupid recent passport they posted online. It means nothing. You have no clue what other evidence has been gathered or how it will be used. Just sit back, wait until closer to 2010. Your boy is going down. Deal with it.

The media is able to ridicule this issue rather than report accurately

The more accurately the facts are ascertained, the more ridiculous the Birthers end up looking.

It certainly is "incredible", in the literal meaning of the word.

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.


What information from a long form birth certificate is relevant to being a natural born citizen that isn’t on a short form? The US Constitution requires birth in the US, age 35 and 14 years residence in the US.

Do you need to know an attending physician’s name, a birth weight, the parent’s occupations?

Any Court of Law will accept a certified copy of the birth record from the state of Hawaii along with a notarized letter of authentification from the Director of the Hawaii Department of Health and the Registrar of Vital Statistics.
At the bottom of every Hawaii Certificate of Live Birth (short form) it says the following: “This copy serves as prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court proceeding.”

The Director of Health, the Governor of Hawaii, and the state Attorney General have all confirmed that Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii.

A passport is only good for 10 years so he has had at least 3, 4 or 5 since his first one.

It could have beenb changed at any time

Trnscripts and actual birf cert is what I want to see

Trust me. If the passport image is edited, it is impossible to tell whether it is genuine.

So, the Kenyan Clown will produce two very dubious images of secondary documents, but no clear images of primary documents?

This passport image has obviously been modified, as was the original presentation of the image of the "certification of live birth."

This isn't even an image of a derivative document since the profferred image is apparently of an official passport; if so, then it didn't even require any supporting documentation on the Kenyan Clown's part. At least the "certification of live birth" was supposedly an abstract of a primary document.

This repetition of another very weak presentation makes the failure to produce any primary documents look worse.

He’s got Reggie on standby 24/7 and he went to see Michael on his birthday. Larry is out of the picture now, just like Kal Penn.

ROTFLMAO!

This is supposed to support his birth in this country?!

It's brand new. He's the president of the United States and controls the executive branch.

What a pathetic try!

ROTFLMAO!

It seems to have been quite successful at tweaking the Birthers, which IMO is the real purpose behind this image.

This is why its so important to stop focusing on the PLACE of birth and start focusing on WHO the father is!!!!!!!!!

I don't think this proves anything about his birthplace, but I agree with you that who the father is, is just as important.

In fact, if Barry Obama Sr. is Barack Obama's father, then he is ineligible to be president.

It illustrates that this country is afflicted with racial stockholm syndrome.
