GOP Lawmaker Stokes ‘Birther’ Drama (Cliff Stearns, R-FL, awaits Arpaio results)
ABC News ^ | March 20, 2012 | John Parkinson

Posted on 03/21/2012 7:02:58 PM PDT by Seizethecarp

Rep. Cliff Stearns, a senior Republican investigating the White House’s Solyndra energy loan guarantee, told reporters today that he is still, despite all evidence to the contrary, not convinced that President Barack Obama’s birth certificate is valid.

“I am, shall we say, looking at all the evidence,” Stearns, R-Fla., said at the Capitol today, just weeks after he waded back into the debate during a town hall meeting with constituents last month.

Asked if he thinks the president’s birth certificate is authentic, Stearns suggested the issue is not settled for him personally yet, as first reported by the Hill and Roll Call. Before coming to a conclusion, Stearns says he is awaiting the results of another independent investigation by Maricopa County [Ariz.] Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who claims he has proof the birth certificate is a “computer-generated forgery.”

“We are just going to hold in abeyance a final decision until we hear [an outcome],” Stearns said. “Some of these people seem to have legitimate concerns, so I don’t think it is unreasonable just to see what they have to say.”

" But this is proof that the issue is going nowhere. This congressman and the rest of Congress can be described as 'useless' and 'hopeless', respectively. " I think it is proof the dam is cracking.

Cracking? LOL. Because after four years one congressman leaned up against the dam and said he is pondering his navel?

Obama's SS, 042-68-4425,does not pass the government E-Verify system. When you check it with E-Verify, it says "Obama’s SSA Record Does Not Verify, SSA Found a Discrepancy in the Record.”

The following quote from Here: "New Evidence submitted by Orly Taitz includes a copy of the government’ s E-Verify System’s rejection of Barack Obama’s Connecticut Social Security number that he uses. Included is the sworn affidavit of Ms. Linda Jordan who went to E-Verify and submitted Barack Obama’s name. She requested verification of his status and eligibility to legally work in the U.S. Barack Obama failed the simple government test. According to the government’s own system Barack Obama does not qualify to legally hold a job in the U.S."

So, we have a SS number and SS application that are fraudulent and a forgery. We also have a fake, fraudulent, forged copy of a birth certificate. Are not fraud and forgery felonies? Do we have a felonious illegal alien in the White House? This is a serious academic question.

Can someone please explain why the SS number can't pass E-Verify? Sheriff Joe, Orly Taitz, Linda Jordan, Danae, Debbie Schlussel and many others are working on this. This should be viral on the Internet. Where are our Tea Party Representatives on this? Where is Trump on this? What about your representative and senator?

If there has been an official serious response from the left on Obama failing E-Verify, I sure haven't seen it. If there is, please enlighten me. If not, full bore investigations by Sheriff Joe and others will continue. Hats off to Sheriff Joe! Go get em' Joe!

It still boils down to, "What is He Hiding and Why?" This is not over until the Truth prevails.

Thanks for the ping. I get so discouraged by this continual coverup most of the time that even small cracks in the dam(n) like this one lift my spirits a bit.

If his concerns were real, he wouldn’t have to wait on Joe or anyone. That’s just an excuse.

“If his concerns were real, he wouldn’t have to wait on Joe or anyone. That’s just an excuse.”

As a EE and aerospace engineer by education and experience, Stearns is taking the correct, logical stand on the forensic evidence, which ultimately will be scientific and not political...just like the spume on the blue dress! Just as we had to wait for the DNA to come back on the stain, we must wait for Barry's original SSSR form and LFBC documents to be examined.

IMO, any genuine conservative would do exactly what Stearns is doing, i.e. wait for the results of the Arpaio investigation. Arpaio, himself, is waiting for the results of his own incomplete investigation.

From Stearns Wiki page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliff_Stearns

“According to his official biography,[2] Stearns was born in Washington, D.C., educated at Woodrow Wilson High School, and later earned a degree in electrical engineering from George Washington University. He is also a member of Gamma Beta Chapter of Theta Tau at GW. He participated in the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps at GW and was honored as the Air Force ROTC Distinguished Military Graduate.

“Following graduation, he served four years in the United States Air Force as an aerospace engineer in satellite reconnaissance during the Vietnam War.”

There is so much evidence that the president has lied about his birth and other aspects of his personal history, that to NOT be a birther would be wacko.

The huge question now is: What is causing most of the media, including conservative members, to not report or discuss these questions? Is something scaring them?

Damn are these people cautious!

Right now, today, the AG of AZ would be completely justified in throwing Obama off the AZ Ballot. In fact, it is the man's job.

Any reasonable person would have to concede that there is doubt ... or at least call it "some legitimate concern" ... as to Obama's bona fides. Take him off the ballot. Let him come forward as a PLAINTIFF. Have court-appointed experts examine the documents in question. Win lose or draw, that case would go SCOTUS and we can have our questions answered ... maybe not the way we want ... but we can't run the country this way, as we all can see.

Stearns? Don't know the guy, but he could be playing to the gallery. The AZ AG OTOH, needs no one's permission to do his job of vetting candidate qualifications.

He’s had four long years to do his own investigation.

According to the government’s own system Barack Obama does not qualify to legally hold a job in the U.S.

To be hired in a salaried position, the government and most companies require educational transcripts and sometimes even a birth certificate, but he's just a president. ;-)

[Cong. Stearns]...is still, despite all evidence to the contrary, not convinced that President Barack Obama's birth certificate is valid.

This is typical MSM Pravda-style journalism, obviously intended to paint Congressman Stearns as some kind of fool who is out of touch with reality. The truth of the matter is that there is no scientific evidence whatsoever that the BC image which appeared on the WH web site last April was a that of a scanned image of a bona fide document. Rather than Stearns or Sheriff Arpaio, it's these MSM hacks, like the anonymous author(s) of the posted story, who are the purveyors of disinformation on the subject.

There used to be a lady active on a local forum who posted lots of family pictures. She carefully blurred the faces of all family members so they couldn't be identified. She freaked out and accused me of stalking when I sent a P.M. telling her what her name is, make and model and serial number of her camera and the dates of several pictures. The Canon she used allowed entry of the owners name but all digicams embed a lot of data in each image. It can be stripped out but often isn't. I was warning her that she was compromising all her privacy concerns, she was too dumb to realize what was going on and raised Hell with the forum admin.

When the investigators talk about "layers" they are talking about combining different images into one. For a simple example when I sign an image I can sign anywhere on the image, then move the text around until it is where I want it.The text exists in a separate moveable layer until I "merge" or "flatten" the image.

The B.C. forgers were working with different software than is used for photographs but the principles and techniques are related. They did not expect close scrutiny and expert analysis and the careless flaws and errors show.

Erm... is this a pointed reference to me? What I published at Pravda is the simple fact based truth. I could not have published it here in the United States. I have gotten a lot of flack for it, including from the owner of this site. Ironically I face more censorship here on this site than I did at Pravda. Collectively, THIS has my “Irony” meter pegged so hard over the needle broke.

Or purposely left that way. There are some that believe the forger was pointing to Alvin as the director of the forgery with X and smiley face.
