Axelrod blames Fox for birther myth
POLITICO ^ | October 7, 2010 | MATT NEGRIN

EXCERPT

He added, “These are times of great change and stress, so you see some of those things come out, but it is no doubt promoted by our friends at Fox and others, and that’s part of the politics we have to deal with.”

So, this is indeed not a proper certification since it doesn't mention the Constitution. The question is: Was leaving out this line intentional…?

We may not have to speculate, I recall an earlier FR thread wherein it was asserted HI refused to execute the proper/traditionally worded certification, and that this language was used only in the HI certification. If clear evidence of such can be established, it should provide momentum.

Regardless, whatever may have been the rationale for Republican inaction before the election and during the 2009 Joint Session of Congress, there can be no reason not to address this issue once they gain control of the House.

They’re getting worried. They know to run in 2012 he’s going to be forced to pony up.

My post #47 “I’ll come back later to read the entire article, and see if those answers are in it. Gotta run for now.”

I see upon finally reading the article, and the comments at FOX by the way that I was barking up the wrong tree thinking there were any answers to my immediate questions there. I guess those points brought up were by the poster, and I’d need a link to see what all the context was he/she was posting about.

Thanks for the ping regardless.

I can recall when Fox held a meeting of its on-air personalities and forbade them from discussing the "birther" controversy on the air!

Prove that is anything other than another unsubstantiated birther rumor.

Honestly, with fraud at this level, I would think hanging for treason is in line with the law.

We should see a big right shift in the state houses and senates where they will pass laws for Obama and others to prove their eligibility in 2012 before they are placed on the ballot, which doesn't get discussed often. I bet a dozen states or more will have them on the books ready for 2012. That's dozens or more ways to scrutinize Obama's documentation, although I doubt he will be running in 2012.

have repeatedly posted that the smart bet is: BO will resign < next DEM convention OR won't seek second term.

I blame the people who refuse to discuss the issue and them alone.

That means everyone on the list I posted.

What I have learned is that should the jack booted fascists ever step on our necks we know we will not be able to depend on any of them, no not one.

“Why all this sudden concern on the part of the libs about the birth certificate?”

They have no hope of succeeding on the issues. All they can do is smear and one way is to try and associate their opponents with kooky ideas.

Lou Dobbs, on CNN, is the only mainstream media person who even came close to questioning Obama’s birth and he lost his job.
They act as if we are all idiots when they talk like this.
He didn’t even address Letterman’s question about how this got started in the first place.
Why would the President of the United States fax his birth certificate to the Daily Kos website? That is where it appeared first!
Few had even heard of Daily Kos. I know I hadn’t before this issue.

It looks like an entire line is missing from the Obama certification. In other words, some of the part you have highlighted is the same as before, but the entire third line:

"United States Constitution and are the duly chosen candidates of both the state and the"

is missing. Also the word "by" has been removed from the next line.

You have good eyes! I think you are the first person I've read who has pointed that out.

This edit could have been achieved electronically, by deleting a line in the document in its electronic (e.g. MS Word) form.

It could also have been edited physically, by cutting or folding the line out of view in the original printed document.

This is why Nancy Pelosi had the DIFFERENT DNC Document drawn up for Hawaii. Because Hawaii refused to certify him. So Nancy HAD to or face riots taking Obama off the Ballot.

Nancy HARD CORE covered Obama’s arse. And how has he treated her? He has betrayed her, and a lot of other democrats who supported Health Care and are going to lose their jobs in November, costing Nancy her power base and her Speakership. Obama betrayed them by not supporting and backing them up. He didn’t take the heat off them, and instead deliberately left them to rot in the summer sun.

Nancy had that special DNC document drawn up for Hawaii. She gave Obama the Presidency. Nancy is pissed at Obama, and the web of lies is rapidly unraveling. Who is Nancy going to side with in the coming war inside the Democrat party. Something tells me it isn’t going to be Obama. No, she will go with the side which will giver her immunity for her testimony.

Yes, the delete was very easy to do. Here it is again that was struck from Barack Obama's Hawaiian presidential certification in comparison with the others:


"THIS IS TO CERTIFY that the following candidates for President and Vice President of the United States are legally qualified to serve under the provisions of the United States Constitution and are duly chosen candidates legally qualified candidates to serve under the provisions of both the state and the national Democratic Parties by balloting at the Presidential Preference Poll and Caucus...."

Yes, on Hannity today it came up that Pelosi feels she did all the heavy lifting for Obama and feels slighted; it goes with your post. Pelosi gets thrown under the Obama Bus.


Something tells me it isn’t going to be Obama. No, she will go with the side which will giver her immunity for her testimony.

No doubt, if and when heads roll Nancy will throw Obama under her steam roller to save hers. Heehee...

Add this to it.

Nancy Certified Obama for the State of Hawaii. Nancy got him the Presidency. Then she gave him Health Care spending all her own political capital in the process. The Obama Betray’s her.

Now fast forward 6 months. Nancy has lost her speaker-ship and is seething. Republicans approach her about the certification documents... Hillary is also involved because she has decided to go for it in 2012. She approaches Nancy as well, saying, ‘you know... you really should testify on what you know. Lets get you immunity to prosecution as we go for Obama’s impeachment. I will make sure you get taken care of at a level of say.... SoS(?) in my new administration.... We have to do something you know...’

Um hum, the panic in the White House has to be extreme. High level staff is leaving, and at least one of them is talking, and they KNOW things!

Oh the wheels are off the Obama bus for real now.
