Boehner: “The State Of Hawaii Has Said President Obama Was Born There. That’s Good Enough For Me”
mediaite.com ^ | Jan.6, 2011 | Mark Joyella

In his first interview since being sworn in as Speaker of the House, John Boehner makes it clear he has no questions about President Obama’s birth, saying “the State of Hawaii has said President Obama was born there. That’s good enough for me.”

In the exclusive interview with NBC’s Brian Williams–set to air tonight on NBC Nightly News–Boehner does not say he’ll tell members of Congress to simply put the matter of the president’s birth aside:

WILLIAMS: I’m curious as to how much responsibility you feel specifically because of something that happened this morning. During the reading of the Constitution, Congressman Frank Pallone of New Jersey was reading a portion of the document, interrupted by someone who heckled from within the chamber. It was to express doubt over the President’s American citizenship. Provided you believe the President is an American citizen, you’ve got 12 members co-sponsoring legislation that does about the same thing, it expresses doubt. Would you be willing to say, “This is a distraction, I’ve looked at it to my satisfaction. Let’s move on.”

BOEHNER: The state of Hawaii has said that President Obama was born there. That’s good enough for me.

Is *everybody* in the Stupid Party stupid?

So stupid that they believe a person spends huge amounts of money to hide something he has no reason to hide?

Though I personally have some questions about Obama’s eligibility, nobody has produced conclusive proof of his ineligibility. Until then, he is President, & must be dealt with politically.


Interview of Jack Cashill on Obama who is setting out to expose him as the fraud that he is.

http://obamareleaseyourrecords.blogspot.com/2011/01/video-author-jack-cashill-of-american.html

“Deconstructing Obama” due out of Feb 15th

“Deconstructing Obama is an important book, one that unravels significant parts of the fabric of Barrack Obama’s contrived and closely guarded personal history. Candidate Obama’s stature rested to an extraordinary degree on his first autobiography, Dreams from my Father. Cashill convincingly demonstrates that the claimed authorship of Dreams is a fraud, the most politically significant literary fraud in history. I was able to follow the story Cashill presents from the beginning, and watched as the media did everything in their power to discredit and relegate Cashill’s first-rate detective work to obscurity and opprobrium. The literary and biographical sleight-of-hand committed by the president and abetted by his media allies will not stand the scrutiny of history. This book is a chance for readers to get the real story now.”

PIGFORD = ELECTION CORRUPTION.

Obama owns Pigford, and Pigford is going to stink to high heaven.

The whole point is this-

Obama has never ever proved he was born in Hawaii.

Let me say it another way.

Nothing has ever been made available to the public that officially or legally certifies Obama as born in Hawaii.

The online document referred to as the COLB is worthless. It does not have one signature. You can compare it against other legitimate COLBs and Long Form Certificates here.

http://truebluenz.wordpress.com/2011/01/03/for-those-who-do-not-know-what-certify-means/

Bottom line.

Obama has not once, not ever produced anything to verify that he was born in Hawaii. Therefore it is perfectly natural to ask him to do so.

Pelosi herself only signed the Hawaii declaration regarding his eligibility. On the documents for all other states, the words “according to the constitution” were purposefully removed. If Pelosi will not accept him as genuine, why should anyone else?

I don’t think the State of Hawaii ever officially said Obama was actually born in Hawaii. The official a while back said she “saw his birth certificate” and that it was “filed in accordance with Hawaii’s laws.” That’s not the same as saying he was Hawaiian born, since Hawaii allows the filing of birth certificates from other places.


These are the statements that Speaker Boehner may have been referring to:
July 27, 2009
STATEMENT BY HEALTH DIRECTOR CHIYOME FUKINO, M.D.
“I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, Director of the Hawai’i State Department of Health, have seen the original vital
records maintained on file by the Hawai‘i State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawai‘i and is a natural-born American citizen. I have nothing further to add to this statement or my original statement issued in October 2008 over eight months ago.”
http://hawaii.gov/health/about/pr/2009/09-063.pdf

“You know, during the campaign of 2008, I was actually in the mainland campaigning for Sen. McCain. This issue kept coming up so much in the campaign, and again I think it’s one of those issues that is simply a distraction from the more critical issues that are facing the country. And so I had my health director, who is a physician by background, go personally view the birth certificate in the birth records of the Department of Health, and we issued a news release at that time saying that the president was, in fact, born at Kapi’olani Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii. And that’s just a fact. And yet people continue to call up and e-mail and want to make it an issue. And I think it’s, again, a horrible distraction for the country by those people who continue this. ... It’s been established. He was born here.”—Governor of Hawai’i Linda Lingle, Radio Interview, May 2, 2010

The nation of Kenya says that Obama was born there. Is that good enough for you, Congressman Boehner?

So is the House going to look into the non-eligibility or not?

I have no idea. However, if Boehner had answered the question today other than the way he did, it would have stolen the whole moment from their reading the US Constitution on the floor of the House. That is what the reporter wanted to do, ruin Boehner's first days as Speaker.

Don't you think that you just might have the process .. backwards?
No One has vetted the guy thus .. No One has produced conclusive proof of his eligibility!

I'm just guessing here but I have to ASS-ume that before you can run for the highest office in the nation .. You have to Prove that you are actually a Citizen of that Nation?

Of course, evidence should never be tested. That would be ungentlemanly.

What a vapid, empty gray suit.

IMO, Miss Stanley was so busy, she had NO idea who the baby daddy was.


Let’s see. FMD is an admitted adulterer, prefers white women and underage girls, wrote about having threesomes with a young girl named Anna (Ann Dunham), and just so happens to have shot nude photos of one Stanley Ann Dunham.

Don’t believe it...

Wednesday, October 22, 2008

“By pure serendipity I found a photo of what I believe is Stanley Ann Dunham; two more I found through sheer plod. They are taken before Christmas by the decorations and unopened presents. Also a stereo and records that an expert could confirm as jazz records are in view.There is a distinctive grain to the wood floors. I do research including genealogical and had downloaded everything I could find. Not much. So when I saw the picture, I locked on the the ear lobes, chin, eyebrows. It is she. A nude photo,not distasteful, but posed, I believe, by a mature man who knows what he likes, including jazz and now we know young girls. One could ascertain the location of where the photos were taken.

And the shoes..not indigenous to Hawaii,but maybe not unusual for Helen Canfield Chicago socialite and Marshall’s second wife. The photos are important in the sense that they explain the going to Chicago and the immediate acceptance by the hard left, if his father is Frank Marshall Davis, not just his mentor”

“Pelosi herself only signed the Hawaii declaration regarding his eligibility. On the documents for all other states, the words “according to the constitution” were purposefully removed. If Pelosi will not accept him as genuine, why should anyone else?”

So then wouldn’t Boehner have to certify Obama, as a formality, if he was re-elected? (Jeez, I hate even mentioning that possibility)

That's because he doesn't have to. Curiously enough, nowhere in the process of filing as a candidate or becoming elected is there at any time a requirement to produce and file proof of citizenship. There should be, but there isn't.

Now... after all this time... he'd be stupid to provide his BC. With so many republicans acting the fool and discrediting other conservatives in the process... he'd be foolish to stop them.

I forget when, but early on the Governor of Hawaii formally declared that Obama was indeed born there. They issued some sort of other letter just recently, too, maybe in December, saying the same thing.

“That’s because he doesn’t have to. Curiously enough, nowhere in the process of filing as a candidate or becoming elected is there at any time a requirement to produce and file proof of citizenship. There should be, but there isn’t.”

Well, that is a good point, but in fact there is a form that has to be signed off by the Democrat Party and specifying that their candidates “for President and Vice President of the United States are legally qualified to serve under the provisions of the United States Constitution”.

This clause was only signed off on the Hawaii documentation. The clause was removed from every other state document. You can see the difference quite plainly here.

http://truebluenz.wordpress.com/2011/01/07/pelosi-refused-to-validate-obama-in-every-state-but-hawaii/

So the forms signed by Nancy Pelosi did not meet the normal requirements for certifying a candidates eligibility. (apart from in Hawaii)
