Dear Gov. Mike Huckabee:
For more than two years now, when asked about the controversy surrounding Barack Obama's birth certificate, you have consistently provided one answer.
It's all nonsense, you said, because you're confident that, if there were anything to the questions of constitutional eligibility, Bill and Hillary Clinton would have found out about it through their magnificent opposition-research machine and used it during the 2008 campaign.
I don't know whether you truly believe that or if it's just a clever dodge.
Taking that position on what may be the most important issue of the day – whether the man occupying the White House is actually legally eligible to be there – positions you as a reasonable person among your colleagues in the media, a comfortable stand that you might believe will come in handy should you decide to run for president.
But here's something else to consider: Based on the polling data I have seen, I would be willing to wager that 80 to 90 percent of your supporters know Obama is hiding something. I don't believe they will respect your position nearly as much as your media friends do.

I’ve been resisting temptation to explain the recent earthquake outbreak in Arkansas on a Huckabee herd stampede...
How do you know this?
Doesnt matter so much where he was born, but where his daddy was born.
Got references for that story?

Anyone who brings up the ‘birth issue’ is playing right into the hands of this carefully planned scheme.
Let’s face it, this regime had full intentions of implementing Socialist/ Marxist programs and knew the American public would be repulsed by them.
So, they had to have a plan in place in order to get reelected...enter the ‘birth certificate’. It was planted early on with enough errors to be discovered to cause a firestorm and it went viral. It was meant to be used expressly for 2012.
They also knew that the issue would wane over the course of years of debate so to revive the issue so they depended on their minions in the press to bring it back into the public discussion in time for the 2012 election cycle.
To defeat their scheme our side needs, not to ignore it completely but ridicule it with humor when the press tries to draw them into the discussion and then drop it.
If the birth certificate is allowed to become the center of debate in 2011 and 2012 it will suck all the oxygen out of the election cycle and distract from the real dire issues our Republic faces.
In the end, they will have the winning hand if they can escalate this issue into a Republican, Conservative, Tea party scheme to remove the first black president from office.
The ensuing rioting in the streets across our country will be the beginning of the end of our Republic.
Baloney. The only "scheme" these marxists have is the race card. They are betting on the fear many whites have of being accused of racism. So far it has worked brilliantly.
"To defeat their scheme our side needs, not to ignore it completely but ridicule it with humor when the press tries to draw them into the discussion and then drop it."
Drop it? That's your plan? You are a coward.
"If the birth certificate is allowed to become the center of debate in 2011 and 2012 it will suck all the oxygen out of the election cycle and distract from the real dire issues our Republic faces."
There is not an issue more "dire" than the usurpation of the office of POTUS.
"In the end, they will have the winning hand if they can escalate this issue into a Republican, Conservative, Tea party scheme to remove the first black president from office."
More white guilt showing.
"The ensuing rioting in the streets across our country will be the beginning of the end of our Republic."
We've already lost the republic if we allow a few inner-city thugs smashing windows to over rule the Constitution of the United States of America. Gutless cowards such as yourself are what will destroy our country.

Coward.
Where is it mentioned or cliamed that this lady drove SAD to the hospital in Mombassa in 1961? Is there another article/interview of her somewhere?
That there is funny!

What can one add to this great article about the Huckster?
Not much.
These people know the truth. Persuing this and bringing legal action would cause blood to run in the streets of this country.

I know one thing: If Huckabee applies to run for president in the Republican primaries, he better attach a copy of his long form birth certificate, or we are going to start questioning whether or not HE is who he says he is and whether or not he is even eligible to be president.
And the above statement applies to that thorough investigator Huckabee constantly refers to : Hillary Clinton.
He says Hillary Clinton is a most thorough investigator when it comes to searching into Obama's background?
I'm sorry, but I bet Hillary does not know half the names of her husband's girlfriends, yet we are supposed to trust her to do a most thorough investigation of that liar and fraud named Obama?
I'm sorry, but I can't stop laughing at Huckabee's ridiculous praise of Hillary's investigative skills. Give me a break.
I would not doubt that possibility and you have some carefully thought out points here. This is a distinct line of reasoning that has appeared on FR. It is up to certain of us to think through any idea, however it may run counter to what we believe. At this time on your post, for myself, I would say "the jury is still out". I would not put it past the brains behind the President, whom I believe are more to be feared than he is.
On the other side, I plead for the "two edged sword". The absolute lack of hard and fast information about the President's academic performance and the funding of such expensive and prestigious is disturbing. The questionable COLB, rubber stamped on the back with the year 2007 on laser paper, is only too fraught with discrepancies.
Again, I sincerely believe that every avenue of inquiry and every line of thought should be considered. Yes, I agree that patriots and those who do fear for the Republic should not put all their eggs in one basket. Again, the birth certificate issue could be the ace card. Just a few modest thoughts from way out Canada way and an enthusiastic amateur family historian.
Wouldn't I like to get into a Canadian record of birth around August 4th 1961 for someone, ah well dream on says I.
“...simply releasing his long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate, the only document that could ever begin to put the questions to rest.”
No, it wouldn’t. In and of itself, the long form birth certificate cannot establish natural born citizenship so long as it might show his father was a citizen of Kenya, as Obama has claimed his entire life, and around which he has built his life story’s narrative. Absence of a HI birth certificate COULD serve to eliminate him. But his producing such a form doesn’t put the question of Constitutional eligibility to rest.
The birth certificate question is yet another red herring, like the references to Obama as an “American citizen.” Both get about halfway there, but don’t satisfy the Constitutional question. The Constitution requires getting ALL the way there. Note how the left always says ‘he’s a citizen.’ Well, that might well be, but very few say he’s a ‘Natural Born citizen.’ It all serves as a distraction from the actual requirements and language of the U.S. Constitution.
