The Birther Trial Balloon
The American Thinker ^ | January 25, 2011 | Cindy Simpson

Posted on 01/25/2011 3:28:21 AM PST by Scanian

Is anyone really surprised that Hawaii's new governor, Neil Abercrombie, was unable to produce the promised Obama long-form birth certificate? No matter how Abercrombie's words are parsed or interpreted or spun, the fact is, there is no new evidence -- just a story about a supposedly well-intentioned but bungling Hawaiian governor, prohibited from access to the certificate because of Hawaii's privacy laws, who must cease the search before he finds himself labeled another "vexatious requester."

The only thing I've found surprising lately was Chris Matthews' tacit admission that a real long-form is indeed an additional document that Obama should present. And this revelation came after months of repeated, condescending scoffs that the online images of the short form and newspaper birth announcements were more than enough evidence for any sane, non-racist person.

Rush Limbaugh recently implied that the entire Abercrombie debacle could be part of a stunt that once concluded would result in such rejection and ridicule of the "birthers" that their questions would finally be dismissed once and for all. He may be correct, and a rolled-up copy of a legitimate Hawaiian long-form might be used to further beat the sizeable percentage of the population with doubts into either embarrassed or apologetic submission. Perhaps that long-form may even contain a tidbit of embarrassing personal information, brilliantly spun by the adoring media to garner a touch of sympathy, just in time to assist a 2012 reelection campaign with a significantly toned down opposition and votes for Obama hailed as the ultimate atonement.

Embarrassing info...not sure. Info that would have sunk Barry before the election...Yep.

Over on Hillbuzz (good info on that site IMHO) the buzz is that Barry, after being adopted by Mr. Soetero, didn't change his name back after he was 18. This would explain why his college records have been hidden: His applications are for Barry Soetero and the box for US citizen is NOT checked, because he claimed and was a citizen of Indonesia. I'm guessing that there were grants for the deserving Indonesian Barry.

Just a theory...but it's looking more likely all the time.

Gov Abercrombie can't find Obama’s bc because it was changed to Soetero. Hey Gov...look under S.

..."Conservative" lawmakers ...never seeem to get around to making it (happen)on the floor of their legislature, much less drafting it and getting it through, and even less chance of getting it on the desk of a governor who will sign it.

Sound and fury, signifying nothing. No one in elected office dares challenge the regime. They risk pension loss, IRS investigation, etc. and they are not about to do THAT.

ya think they're such a craven lot: NO cajones on this issue, at the state level, somewhere in the "Land of the Free"?

I agree. If he really had it and pulled it out, now, then he looks like an immature prankster who shouldn't be president.

Hehe. I thought you might get a kick out of Barry’s obsessive pawing through Michelle’s closet. I bet the handlers landed on MO like a 3 ton gorilla, for letting her husband’s effete ‘hobby’ slip out into the MSM.

Or maybe, ‘get out of my closet’, was a Freudian slip for, ‘get out of THE closet’.

If the handlers got upset Michelle probably said:

“What? You think OUR media is going to make an issue of this?”

And she’s right. She’s right about Fancy Boy trying on her clothes, about Usurper covering up his records (not just BC but all university records) about the commie destroying free markets in America, about the muzzie destroying free speech in America... THEIR media won’t mention ANY of that.

So Michelle is good... as is Barry.

So I guess the answer is: “No. You will not stop making this stuff up.”

I hear you, and yes, you’re right. But as I said on another thread [Obama to the Rescue: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2662996/posts ], Barry’s day of reckoning is coming. Remember, we got frustrated with Bill Clinton’s lies too. Then, out of the blue came the dress (so to speak). When Barry’s lies collapse—as they inevitably will—the MSM will suffer a fatal blow in the process.

That’s why obamie keeps rahm close. BO loves to watch him flutter about in his pink tutu and tights. Remember the story about rahm and the bath house? Rahmbo is light in the loafers more ways than one.

"This is an attempt by the editorial staff of the American thinker to cover their rear ends for having done such a despicably poor job of covering this issue from the beginning."


Spot on!!

This whole theory of a trap or trial balloon is such an absurd notion only a retard would buy into it. The Obama machine, DNC, and SRM have been using this carnard/psyops to keep this story from exploding. Along with the labeling of "Birthers" and "Something embarrassing on the birth certificate" etc........It's all a ruse.

He should have never even been considered for POTUS much less put on the ballot. He is ineligble no matter how you look at it and a national security risk.

The proof is his last 2 years. He is an anti-American, anti-Constitution, anti-capitalist, Marxist, Muslim, narcissistic-sociopath bent on destroying America from within.

Too many in the so called 'conservative' media sat on the sidelines when this whole issue could have been brought to a conclusion BEFORE THE ELECTION!!!!

He maybe Barry Soetoro from Indonesia but this is hardly a new idea.

People have checked the HDOH index data last year for Barry Soetoro or a name change from Barack Obama to Barry Soetoro. NOTHING.

So Hawaii has no records of anykind in Barry Soetoro’s name.

Did Hillbuzz pull the story out of their arse?

I thought that was required when you filed the paper work for the presidency.

The way I understand it, one need present absolutely nothing. All one need do is declare oneself a constitutionally qualified candidate.

Yes, your party may, or may not ask you for documentation. It is entirely within the discretion of the national or state party to accept your declaration. Obama was accepted, and his declaration was in turn passed onto the state party committees, and was accepted by them.

The election officials of all 50 states placed Obama on their ballots, accepting in turn, the declaration of the party officials. Hawaii had a problem with the national party's declaration, but the problem was resolved (somehow) and Obama was placed on their ballot. 53% of the active voters gave BHO, Jr. their vote, and in turn their Electors elected him President. ANY, any Elector could have challenged his constitutional qualifications, but did not

Those very few who fought to have him declared ineligible in 2008 could not succeed in having their cases heard on the merits, and their pleas were rejected by the courts.

In a way, the various state officials around the country threatening to demand documentation by state law are being redundant. They already have the power to demand of any candidate any documentation they want, or declare a candidate ineligible on constitutional grounds, which they certainly have done in the past, but only very rarely.

Right now, any governor, any state AG, and certainly ANY state election board could rule that Obama is ineligible to be on the 2012 ballot in their state. It would then be up to Team Obama to bring suit as the plaintiffs ... just as Rahm Emmanuel is doing in an attempt to be placed on the ballot in Cook County, Illinois.

There are large grey areas in this part of the law, and Team Obama simply slipped between them, sort of like a smuggler slipping between fog banks. It is extremely difficult to accept that not one person in authority in the United States cannot find the courage to exercise his legal prerogatives. But, there it is.

Eligibility Legislation in various states.
MO HB 283 (2011)
TX HB 295 (2010)
TX HB 529 (2011)
AZ HB 2544 (2011)
AZ HB 2441 SB 1384 (2010)
SC Bill 3389 (2009)
NH HB1245 (2010) Passed
IN SB 82 (2010)
GA HB 37 (2011)
MT HB 205 (2011)

It looks like the NH bill has passed & been signed by the governor.

Fantastic! MO, IN, and GA would be killers to not be on the ballet, as they could go either way. Although TX has a large number of Electoral votes, its not really in play and losing by 100% is the same as losing by 1%.

More importantly however, will be how the issues is addressed. Not being able to get on the ballet in even one state “for lack of citizenship” should crack the flood gate.

This should be a big concern for Dims, as waiting until the 2012 ballet is drawn up means they will have forfeited the opportunity to select a different candidate.
