CNN chief: Obama birth story 'dead'(2009)
UPI ^ | July 24, 2009 | UPI

Posted on 03/27/2011 7:51:44 AM PDT by bushpilot1

CNN/U.S. President Jon Klein told staffers of "Lou Dobbs Tonight" the controversy over President Barack Obama's birth certificate is a "dead story."

Klein wrote in an e-mail to staffers Thursday that CNN researchers had determined Hawaiian officials discarded paper birth documents in 2001. Thus, he said, Obama's long-form birth certificate no longer exists, and a shorter certificate that is public is the official record.

"It seems to definitively answer the question," Klein wrote in the e-mail, first reported by the Web site TVNewser. "Since the show's mission is for Lou to be the explainer and enlightener, he should be sure to cite this during your segment tonite (sic). And then it seems this story is dead -- because anyone who still is not convinced doesn't really have a legitimate beef."

Klein said Friday he was not ordering CNN staffers to drop the story and that if developments merited more coverage, it would be pursued, the Los Angeles Times reported.

"When I use the word 'seems,' that's an open invitation to disagree," Klein told the Times.

On his show Thursday, Dobbs mentioned the explanation from Hawaiian officials but then questioned why Obama has not shown a long-form birth certificate, the newspaper said.

Anyone seen this before? if you are looking for more evidence that Obama/Soetoro is not a natural born American citizen, send an investigator to Kenya to learn why its Parliament no longer posts its minutes online. Not long after this meeting’s minutes were posted, those Kenya Parliament minutes ceased to be available online. In the excerpted paragraph below, the speaker is the Minister for Lands, Mr. Orengo (emphasis is mine):

====================================

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OFFICIAL REPORT; Thursday, 25th March, 2010 - the house met at 2:30 p.m.

.....The other thing that we are addressing through devolution is exclusion. What has made us suffer as a nation is exclusion. Once people feel excluded, even when you want to employ a policeman or constable or you want to build a dispensary, it must come from the centre. In the colonial days, these things were being done on the ground and they could give bursaries and build roads. I commend devolution. Those who fear devolution are living in the past. They are being guided by their ethnic consideration and objectives. They are living in the past. If America was living in a situation where they feared ethnicity and did not see itself as a multiparty state or nation, how could a young man BORN HERE IN KENYA, who is NOT even a NATIVE AMERICAN, become the President of America? It is because they did away with exclusion. What has killed us here is exclusion; that once Mr. Orengo is President, I know of no other place than Ugenya. That is why we were fighting against these many Presidencies in the past. I hope that Kenya will come of age. This country must come of age. People want freedom and nations want liberation, but countries want independence.

I have one very similar from a midwest state in my safety deposit box. Pretty detailed....including occupation of father, previous births, doctor's signature, etc. Doesn't everybody have this?

Stanley Anne, as a good mother, should have had a copy of Obama’s kept in safekeeping all of these years for her son's documentations for school, travel, etc. But then, she obviously had something to hide, didn't she?

Obama’s stories of his birth father, his mom's “career”, his academic history, ....his whole life.....seems a little bit too odd. Lots of fiction and covering up going on here. Evidently, he has a lot to hide.

The reason they can't find a birthcertifact is because it never existed in Hawaii..I'll bet if there was enough money changing hands in Kenya then we would see a birth certificate

I remember shortly after the election, Rahm took a little trip to Africa. Probably paid everyone off then.

You’re right about proof of my 2nd claim; I should say that that’s just my impression, from the people I talk to.

Regarding the 1st claim, just look at Obama’s campaign rhetoric. He was constantly trying to find irrational or racist criticism of himself so as to portray his opponents as nuts, and when he couldn’t find any, he said that it was coming any minute now. Remember this?

http://www.reuters.com/article/2008/06/20/us-usa-politics-obama-race-idUSN2040982720080620

“We know what kind of campaign they’re going to run. They’re going to try to make you afraid. They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black?”

To this day, Obama frequently makes Birther jokes. Why? To keep alive the meme that his opponents are nuts. MSNBC follows suit. Prior to MSNBC mentioning her about a million times, about 3 people ever heard of perennial candidate from somewhere or other, Orly Taitz. Why? Because she’s kind of freaky, she’s a Birther, thus she’s a good vehicle for portraying all opponents of Obama as freaks.

Obama’s statist policies, and his contempt for the American people, were repudiated in 2010, and they will be repudiated in 2012, so long as we keep our eyes on the ball, and not be distracted by nutball conspiracies.

Or threatened them if they told.. I hope some day this all comes to a head..If Donald Trump wanted to he could pay them more and get the information..Wasn't it Hillary that first came up with the birth certificate idea..She had the files and knows lots of people I bet she could come up with something..why did she even mention it if she didn't know something..Then the bastard of Kenya needs to be dethroned..and sent back to his home land along with the free loader wife and kids..

...Hawaiian officials discarded paper birth documents in 2001.

Why don't I believe that everyone born in Hawaii before 2001 doesn't have a paper birth certificate?

Exactly! I think his SSN is very interesting as well. Let’s investigate that.

This is pure BS. Hawaii is really a bunch of liberal communists crap heads because documents were not destroyed without a backup system of recording them in visual form. They are lying rotten Democrat hard left stinking sick nitwits. There, I said it, now I feel better.

Whatever Trump has, it must be devastating to Obama.

Trump does not jump into these sorts of things without already knowing the answers to the questions he’s asking. He’s got the money to employ the kind of “plumbers” who do the jobs that nobody hears about.

The idea that someone in the vital records section hasn’t made a copy of Obozo’s BC, and made it available to Trump for a fee.... in this age of “top secret” espionage ?

“so long as we keep our eyes on the ball, and not be distracted by nutball conspiracies.”

Thanks for your response. It just baffles me that anyone can see the matter President’s Constitutional eligibility as a “nutball conspiracy”. I’m with Donald Trump. Its an important issue and even the whisper of doubt that the President may not be American born should be investigated.

Trump has also shown how easy it is to demolish all of the arguments that the left use. All that needs to be done is to speak out and the left have nowhere to go. Trump demolished Geraldo on Fox today. Other’s should follow Trumps lead. Barack will have to act.

It’s pure Alinsky. “What? You Still want to see my birth certificate?? Wow, you never asked that of white George Bush!”

If you get into problems, mock, mock, mock.

But what Donald trump has done with his fame and reputation is to say, “wait a second. It’s not that there is, or isn’t, a birth certificate. It’s that Obama never showed anything, and a lot of documents from his past are hidden, and he’s spent a lot of money to keep them hidden. Maybe it’s nothing. But why is he hiding stuff?” (not an actual quote from trump)

You can’t mock someone who simply questions why Obama has made this choice. Especially someone the whole country knows as powerful and not a crackpot.

Bush pilot, have you seen butterdezillion’s evidence that talking heads were threatened with their livelihood and more, after the election but before the inauguration, not to discuss obamas eligibility?

Surely Commie New Network was also given this order.

Hopefully Butterdezillion will add a post linking that threat evidence to this thread.

Especially when contrasted to the Nordyke twins' birth certificates. It is the liberals in the MSM who are the stupid ignorant ones allowing themselves to be duped and led around on a leash by obama.
