During the course of questioning about the Obama administration's attacks on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, ABC News White House Correspondent Jake Tapper brought up the issue of Barack Obama refusing to release his long form Hawaii birth certificate in an interview today with senior White House adviser David Axelrod.
Axelrod said that Obama's birth certificate "has been available to people."
When Tapper followed up by asking if the long form version (aka the original with more information than the shorter publicly released version) has been released, Axelrod ducked the question with this bizarre rejoinder, “the only people who want to keep things secret are folks who have something to hide.”
Before people get too excited, Tapper later Tweeted his disdain for birthers:
jaketapper Periodically it becomes clear that I need to warn folks: I block birthers (and truthers). Keep that nonsense out of my twitter feed. Thanks. 11 minutes ago via ÜberTwitter
However, Tapper had no problem raising the issue with Axelrod:
TAPPER: But what do you say to people who argue you are demonizing an organization for a charge that nobody knows if it's true or not?
AXELROD: Well I’m not demonizing the Chamber of Commerce. I’m simply suggesting to them that they disclose the source of the $75 million that they are spending in campaigns and put to rest, put to rest the questions that have been, that have been raised.
TAPPER: Isn't that like the whackjobs that tell the president he needs to show them his full long-form birth certificate so he can put to rest the questions that have been raised?
AXELROD: The president’s birth certificate has been available to people.
TAPPER: The long form?
AXELROD: Someone once in the course of this debate about whether we should have a law to force these organizations to disclose where they’re money is coming from in the campaigns, someone said, and I think they’re right – “the only people who want to keep things secret are folks who have something to hide.” If the Chamber doesn’t have anything to hide about these contributions, and I take them at their word that they don’t, then why not disclose? Why not let people see where their money is coming from?
Outside of the likes of Les Kinsolving, this appears to be the first time the long form birth certificate issue has been publicly queried at the senior White House level.

So you believe he was helping to steer Axelrod in a certain direction to dodge the question?? Really??
No, really?????
I think it would be doubtful that Hillary would become VP. Doesn't your 25th Amendment spell all this out? The House and Senate would have to ratify the President's appointment of a VP by majority vote. If the Republicans win both houses, how could Hillary be acceptable to them? Am I missing something here, after all I'm Canajun ya know?
Except the Dunhams lived to flaunt convention. The birth of a little half breed might have been to them a status symbol. Interesting though is that Ann would go on to raise the daughter but not the son bringing back into question his true parentage.
Just a reminder of an earlier article. Fodder for the SPs and Benedict Arnolds here to “chew”(?) on, and then the looming Lt.Col Terry Lakin’s case as well as other pending court cases. Seems it’s getting hotter and hotter for Baracka Hussein Amu Amama!!!
The Hawaii’s DNC would NOT certify his eligibility to be on the ballot, so Nazy Pelosi had to do some Houdini tricks to get hem there. It’s hard to keep sweeping the truth under the rug in these days of instant live information times that ordinary people now have access to???

7-9-10: Sources say smack-down of Obama by Supreme Court may be inevitable .
July 9, 12:03 PM Conservative Examiner Anthony G. Martin
According to sources who watch the inner workings of the federal government, a smackdown of Barack Obama by the U.S. Supreme Court may be inevitable.
Ever since Obama assumed the office of President, critics have hammered him on a number of Constitutional issues. Critics have complained that much if not all of Obama’s major initiatives run headlong into Constitutional roadblocks on the power of the federal government.
Obama certainly did not help himself in the eyes of the Court when he used the venue of the State of the Union address early in the year to publicly flog the Court over its ruling that the First Amendment grants the right to various organizations to run political ads during the time of an election.
The tongue-lashing clearly did not sit well with the Court, as demonstrated by Justice Sam Alito, who publicly shook his head and stated under his breath, ‘That’s not true,’ when Obama told a flat-out lie concerning the Court’s ruling.
As it has turned out, this was a watershed moment in the relationship between the executive and the judicial branches of the federal government. Obama publicly declared war on the court, even as he blatantly continued to propose legislation that flies in the face of every known Constitutional principle upon which this nation has stood for over 200 years.
Obama has even identified Chief Justice John Roberts as his number one enemy, that is, apart from Fox News and Rush Limbaugh. And it is no accident that the one swing-vote on the court, Justice Anthony Kennedy, stated recently that he has no intention of retiring until ‘Obama is gone.’
Apparently, the Court has had enough.
The Roberts Court has signaled, in a very subtle manner, of course, that it intends to address the issues about which Obama critics have been screaming to high heaven. A ruling against Obama on any one of these important issues could potentially cripple the Administration.
Such a thing would be long overdue.
First, there is ObamaCare, which violates the Constitutional principle barring the federal government from forcing citizens to purchase something. And no, this is not the same thing as states requiring drivers to purchase car insurance, as some of the intellectually-impaired claim. The Constitution limits FEDERAL government, not state governments, from such things, and further, not everyone has to drive, and thus, a citizen could opt not to purchase car insurance by simply deciding not to drive a vehicle.
In the ObamaCare world, however, no citizen can ‘opt out.’
Second, sources state that the Roberts court has quietly accepted information concerning discrepancies in Obama’s history that raise serious questions about his eligibility for the office of President. The charge goes far beyond the birth certificate issue. This information involves possible fraudulent use of a Social Security number in Connecticut , while Obama was a high school student in Hawaii . And that is only the tip of the iceberg.
Third, several cases involving possible criminal activity, conflicts of interest, and pay-for-play cronyism could potentially land many Administration officials, if not the President himself, in hot water with the Court. Frankly, in the years this writer has observed politics, nothing comes close to comparing with the rampant corruption of this Administration, not even during the Nixon years. Nixon and the Watergate conspirators look like choirboys compared to the jokers that populate this Administration.
In addition, the Court will eventually be forced to rule on the dreadful decision of the Obama DOJ to sue the state of Arizona . That, too, could send the Obama doctrine of open borders to an early grave, given that the Administration refuses to enforce federal law on illegal aliens.
And finally, the biggie that could potentially send the entire house of cards tumbling in a free-fall is the latest revelation concerning the Obama-Holder Department of Justice and its refusal to pursue the New Black Panther Party. The group is caught on tape committing felonies by attempting to intimidate Caucasian voters into staying away from the polls.
A whistle-blower who resigned from the DOJ is now charging Holder with the deliberate refusal to pursue cases against Blacks, particularly those who are involved in radical hate-groups, such as the New Black Panthers, who have been caught on tape calling for the murder of white people and their babies.
This one is a biggie that could send the entire Administration crumbling—that is, if the Justices have the guts to draw a line in the sand at the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

“He is slowly - piece by painful piece - erecting a socialist dictatorship. We are not there - yet. But he is putting America on that dangerous path. He is undermining our constitutional system of checks and balances; subverting democratic procedures and the rule of law; presiding over a corrupt, gangster regime; and assaulting the very pillars of traditional capitalism.”

Oh, oh!
Rights panel seeks testimony from Justice
New Black Panther intimidation probe at issue
The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights wants Attorney General H. Holder Jr., to allow Justice Department employees to testify in its investigation of “deep-seated and shockingly common attitudes favoring racially-selective enforcement of the law” within the department’s Civil Rights Division.
The request is outlined in a letter to be delivered Tuesday to Mr. Holder, following a 5-1 vote Friday by the commission, seeking additional testimony and documents in its investigation of the department’s handling of the New Black Panther Party case.

“Laura talks about the records that Obama wont release from college records to visitors list to the white house to his 2008 campaign records, Obama it’s time for you to show your records.”

The fraud that wouldn’t die ;-)
And here we go!
Mmm hmm mmm.
Mmm hmm mmm...
It’s about time.
Without a rubber-stamping Congress, 0b0z0’s ass are belong to us!
Terrible visual, though!
Down he goes!
The press is FINALLY turning on him.
” Without a rubber-stamping Congress, 0b0z0’s ass are belong to us! “
A most appropriate sentence, seeing as whom he is aligned with ;-)
As President Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, “In politics there are no accidents. If it happens you can bet it was planned that way.”
That has to be one of the most bizarre responses I’ve seen. Still scratching my head over this one. He basically just ignored the question. How odd. That just makes me more than ever want to see that long form. WHAT is he hiding?
I recently ordered and received my long form birth certificate. It was like pulling teeth to get the woman on the phone to admit I could get a long form. She was rude, evasive and most assuredly an O voter.
Bizarre is an understatement. WTF?
