While Republican Congressman Frank Pallone read the "natural born Citizen" clause of the U.S. Constitution on the House floor last Thursday, a spirited female in the audience shouted out, "Except Obama! Except Obama! Help us, Jesus!"
Later that day, NBC's Brian Williams improbably chose to assign blame for the woman's outburst on newly elected House speaker John Boehner. "How much responsibility do you feel?" Williams asked pointedly.
"The state of Hawaii has said Obama was born there," said Boehner, who is no more intimate with the "Birther" movement than Williams himself. "That was good enough for me."
The person Williams should have been asking about "responsibility" is the president. Obama's conspicuous fabrications over the years have caused even the sober among us to doubt his origins story.
In September 2009, President Obama addressed the nation's schoolchildren writ large, an innovation that struck many on the right as a wee bit too Big-Brotherly. In the talk, Obama asked America's students to take personal responsibility. That was all well enough.
Missed in the media hubbub, however, was his take on why this could be difficult for some students. "I get it," he told the kiddies. "I know what that's like. My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mother."
In his 1995 memoir Dreams from My Father, Obama made the same claim. "He had left Hawaii back in 1963," he wrote of Obama Sr., "when I was only two years old."
When Obama wrote this in Dreams, he may have been relating what he had himself been told. By 2009, he knew better, but so vested was he in the story, and so useful had it been in his rise, that he continued to dissemble, even before millions of schoolchildren

Obama will continue to be defended simply because he is black. It is part of the culture, the liberals have forced us to accept it. We all know he is false, but that doesn’t matter.
The rule of law is over in this country.
I’m sure conservative talking media aka Rush, Sean, Levin, Beck, Laura etc will all be picking up on this breaking news story this week. Rotflmao- yea right, our talking bobbleheads are turning in to total main stream media republican party mouthpieces.
Born in Hawaii with 3 Soc. Sec. numbers, one from Conn. Yep, I got it. To bad the SCOTUS don’t got it.
If he runs again, I believe there are several states who will require proof of citizenship to be on their ballot. Arizona is one.
To me, the article only raises 2 points....that his mother & Obama sr. were never married & that she didn’t list him as the father on the birth certificate. It really doesn’t give much of an argument for him not being born in either Hawaii or WA.
That should read, "Obama will continue to be defended simply because he is a liberal black." Don't expect the same kind of hands-off treatment for Herman Cain.
These folks laugh at the law, the constitution, and us.
How many of us feel our nation is living a lie because we cannot secure the facts about the past of our own President?
Any individual seeking that office should know that there can be no secrets in matters which require documentation of one’s life. In his case, we cannot even find out anything about his kindergarten records. For Heaven’s Sake, people, this is madness. If this is the biggest scam of our history, then we need to know. If it is not, we need to know that. Becoming a public official means that your private life is not private anymore and the people have a right to know who you are and where you come from. Along this line, I think it is incredible that Caroline Kennedy has been able to keep a Kennedy documentary off the air through threats of withholding some information from ABC. So, let her withhold it..It probably is just propaganda, anyway..Let the people decide. Freedom is precious and all of these things are robbing us of what is most significant to our survival.
Liberals fail to question Obama’s conspicuous fabrications over the years.To hell with the law will roll over on them.
The birth certificate issue is a diversion from the fact that this man is destroying our economy, our national security, and our standing in the rest of the world, who sees him as weak weak weak.
Fact: Not even **one** legislator, judge, military person, state attorney general, state election official, or electoral college member has seen any government certified ( court acceptable) evidence that Obama is a natural born citizen ( or even a citizen at all!)
Fact: The only evidence presented to legislators, judges, military personnel, state attorney generals, election officials, and electoral college voters has been twitters, Internet images of dubious origin, and a few carefully crafted and highly massaged ( masturbated) statements from Lingle and Fukino. ( Am I correct that Lingle’s statement would be considered “hearsay”?)
Fact: It is a **SIMPLE** matter to prove one’s natural born citizenship. Unanointed American serfs do it routinely for many reasons. Most of these reasons are far far far less important than having control of the world's most destructive military force since the dawn of creation.
Fact: Obama has gone to considerable expense to prevent the release of **COMMON** documents. He has sent private and TAX-PAID attorneys to courts across the nation.
Fact: The citizenship of the sweet little “tweenies” performing in their cute spandex costumes on the U.S. Olympic gymnastic team are better vetted than Obama.
Fact: A **REAL** American president would be **HONORED** to promptly prove that he is a natural born citizen. He would be especially pleased to do this for any member of the military.
If the Constitution had been upheld and defended from the beginning we would not have this likely usurper in a position to destroy the economy and national security.
We have to keep pushing for it. Arizona didn’t pass their law. Their squishy senate backed down, then the whole state came under assault for trying to defend their border with Mexico. I still wonder if the over the top attack on Arizona about the immigration issue wasn’t a punishment or warning for trying to pass the “prove your eligible” law.
The BC gives us a good and simple way to get people who normally are out of touch with politics and economics, to understand that Obama is not trustworthy and he is hiding something. Most people can understand and relate to that.
Chris Matthews, "Why doesn't he just release the Birth Certificate?"
The birth certificate issue is real. Beerock is not a natural born citizen! This issue is a finger in the conservatives eye, saying, Beerock the alien, can destroy the economy, national security, and our standing in the rest of the world and there's nothing you conservatives do about it.
How could anyone justify voting against verifying the eligibility of a candidate before allowing them on the ballot?
I know what their motivation is (leftists - I know how they think), but I’d sure like to hear how they justify their position on this.
They are mental midgets.
The “race card” is simply all the left has left these days to justify their ideology, isn’t it?
yes
