It was undoubtedly a phony poll. However, I do believe there are enough Americans who want to know that when Obama runs in 2012, someone somewhere will pursue the question. If not, then I’d like to see FreeRepublic organize protests to “Free the Birth Certificate!”

Or maybe, “Set Your Records Free!” - to include releasing his educational records. The GOP candidate needs to be pressured to authorize release of both birth certificate and educational records, to smoke Obama out.

It won’t be easy. You know full well I’m not a ‘birther’. I think WKA was wrongly decided, but I also think my side lost 60 years before I was born, so that is a dry hole. But no one should be able to run for President without releasing their educational and birth records. I know it has often been done, but I also think folks have a reasonable expectation that a candidate will allow public assess to education, military and birth records. If they aren’t willing to release them, then we need to hang them around the slimeball’s neck.

We’ve spent a lot of time arguing on FreeRepublic, but I think this is something that ought to unite all conservatives. I don’t understand how anyone can object to expecting a presidential candidate to allow his qualifying records released.

It is interesting to me that Congressman Darrell Issa who plans to make Obama’s next two years a living hell with Congressional investigations to be conducted by the House Oversignt and Government Reform Committee which he chairs has already said no investigations of anything Obama-related the occurred prior to Obama’s first day in office.

I think that Obama’s political strategy is that he has no intention of giving his opposition any meat to chew on that might result in him being “Swiftboated” like John Kerry was.

If FreeRepublic organizes protests and that results in a defeat of Obama at the polls, then it is a good political move for conservatives for him to NOT release any more information and go down to defeat, in part because of that bad decision.

I expect a huge Obama “document drop” much cloer to the next election. I believe that is the reason why conservative elected officials are tredding lightly with this issue for fear of having been set up.

Wasn't Congressman Issa a member of the 111th Congress?

Why would you, or anyone else, think that Congressman Issa would open an investigation into himself and the others of the 111th, as to how none of them made an objection after the counting of the electoral votes, of a person who was born owing allegiance to a foreign crown?

Think he wants to expose his own shortcoming? Nothing interesting there. Should be fully expected he'd ignore the issue. He's 100% invested in the narrative having been a participant of the 111th Congress.
