I do not understand why asking a candidate for information on their parents would be a problem considering he or she would have to prove their citizenship to ensure Natural Born Citizenship.

[Frantzie]

The Newsmedia and TV all support him and the courts including SCOTUS are totally corrupt.

[ROLF of the HILL COUNTRY]

“The charge that Obama failed to meet the requirement that the president be a “natural born citizen” of our great country was dismissed as invalid long ago.”

Dismissed by whom???

[Izzy Dunne]

who insist that President Barack Obama does not meet the citizenship requirement

Don't know if you want to call me a "birther" or not, but I, and a lot of other people "insist" NO SUCH THING.

I say that he has not presented sufficient evidence to document his eligibility.

[swain_forkbeard]

“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.”

Then why can’t the governor find it?

[NurdlyPeon]

Simple answer: show us the long form. Simple question: why has he not done so. Dance around those, boys.

[SpaceBar]

Yup. Obama is the only person in the United States who has not provided full documentation of his eligibility to hold a job in the affirmative, and asserts that others must somehow prove the contrary.

[MichaelCorleone]

If a ‘fringe’ group insisted the earth was flat and kept pounding the drum on a daily basis, some group (like NASA) would simply supply a photograph from space that proved the earth is not flat.

A BC is a simple document that every American can easily produce to prove their age, place of birth, and parents.

It’s quite reasonable to question his birthplace since not only has the BC not been secured, but he’s spent millions to stop the truth from coming out.

[FrankR]

They can try and pile the "birthers" into a padded room if they want, but there is NOTHING wrong with making this guy produce his birth certificate. It would put all this to rest once and for all.

Now, he either likes the controversy for the attention it makes, or, he's a foreign-born kenyan and a fraud president.

I think every mom in the united states should refuse to produce her childs birth certificate when they start to school, and all other activities that require showing a BC.

Barack Obama - or whatever his friggin name is - is nothing but a street hustler taking us all for a ride to ruin.

[ctyankee00]

Again, it’s never been about *where* he was born, although the Ministry of Distraction has done a good job of focusing on that. His mother was an American citizen and his father was a British citizen.

These folks don’t play by ‘the rules’.

[devolve]

"His mother was young - and single....."

Are you going to pull this thread too?

The previous thread (same article) was up for hours. With nearly 200 replies.

Then you pulled it. Why? What gives??

[MrEdd]

In 2002 I began telling people that there were more houses and strip malls than there were families and retailers to go in them and.that real estate was going to crash hard and not.get back up soon.

I was disparaged here and many places.
This was considered a “fringe” assessment.

Similarly, during Desert Storm I made the observation that the wide scale deployment of fuel air explosives was a bad idea because it showed every tin pot dictator and tyrant wannabe how much damage you could do with a whole lot of jet fuel. Military people in the unit agreed but my civilian friends thought this was a “fringe” assessment. They got phone calls on 9/11 and I did gloat a bit.

I am comfortable with my positions “fringe” or not.

[so_real]

I think the article is loaded with liberal wishful thinking. I would say the majority of Americans still cherish the Constitution. They may claim that we who defend the Constitution as is, are the "fringe of the fringe", but I don't buy it.

[xzins]

A bill that establishes a process for fulfilling a constitutional requirement is not “fringe.”

It’s actually very reasonable.

[Cheerio]

The director of the Hawaiian state agency that handles birth certificates issued the following statement: "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."

The statement found at KITV.com (October 31, 2008) says absolutely NOTHING about meeting the NBC qualifications. Back in the 1960s the State of HI issued birth certificates regardless of whether one was a NBC or not.

Fukino said she and the registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, have personally verified that the health department holds Obama's original birth certificate. "Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures," Fukino said.

It's not really relevant, once birth on American soil is established.

[PLOM...NOT!]

They keep trying to paint the “birthers” as fringe but yet the lone Cindy Sheehan managed to have the whole flippin media at her request wherever, whenever, reporting her every screech and twitch.

[freekitty]

Right. It shouldn’t be a problem.
