OK, I confess, the title is a bit misleading.
It should read Obama And His Lack Of A Birth Certificate Is About To Make History.
Yesterday, World Net Daily broke the story of Army Major Stefan Cook, who argued that he should not have to deploy to Afghanistan because President Obama has not proven that he is a natural-born citizen, therefore he is unable to serve as Commander-In-Chief.
This is something that will receive little, if any, coverage from the mainstream media.
However, the fact that the U.S. Army revoked the orders of a soldier about to be sent overseas based wholly upon such a claim is unprecedented.
This controversy over Obama’s failure to produce a valid birth certificate has been an ongoing saga.
And all calls for him to do so have either been belittled or ignored by the White House. Which may lead some folks to suspect that the reason he doesn’t simply produce the blasted thing and put this story to rest once and for all is because he doesn’t have one!
About the only attention we have seen regarding this issue was the presentation of a “Certificate Of Live Birth” supposedly issued by the State of Hawaii.
This proves less than nothing, as first, to look at it you would think that a 12-year old made it on their home computer, and secondly is the fact that a child does not have to be born in Hawaii in order for the state to issue such a document to the child’s parents.
Even if this document is legitimate, it is a far cry from an actual birth certificate, and it surely is not proof of where Obama was actually born.
However , there are literally thousands of articles and opinions floating around about Obama’s birth certificate, or lack therof, and I don’t want to bore you with re-visiting the same stories.
Rather, I would like to expound on my claim that Obama’s lack of a birth certificate will make history. Consider the following:
If indeed it is proven that Obama is not a natural born U.S. citizen, and therefore is unable to serve as President, he will not be remembered as America’s first black President, rather history will remember him as the man who was the cause of the biggest Constitutional crisis this country has ever seen!
The question will be raised of what will happen to other troops deployed by Obama, and the troops already serving under orders from an ineligible commander in chief.
Every piece of legislation that Obama has signed since taking office would now be considered under law to be null and void.
Imagine what this would mean to the stock market, financial institutions, the auto industry, as well as every other facet of the American economy.
Not to mention, the people who already accuse the president’s critics of being racists will no doubt try to use this as their proof and stoke racial tensions to the point of riot.
Every appointment he has made, regardless if it was an appointment as a “Czar’, or a Cabinet-level position, would have to be overturned, and it would become the duty of the Vice-President to re-fill those positions.
Which leads to perhaps the most intriguing scenario of all.
The Constitution states that if the President is unable to serve, the Vice-President shall assume the duties of the office.
However, if the man who chose you to be his running mate was found to have been elected to the office in violation of Constitutional law, where does that leave you Mr. Biden?
After all, we (well, some of you poor misguided individuals) voted for the two of you as a team running on the same ticket.
So if it is found that the man who picked you to be his running mate did so in direct violation of federal law, doesn’t it follow that you were also elected to the Vice-Presidency under false pretenses?
Barack Obama. CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN!
When the U.S. military accepts the claim of a soldier that the man posing as Commander-In-Chief has failed to produce his eligibility to hold that title, we may be on the verge of seeing change beyond belief.
I'm getting tired of proving you wrong...
“if” Arnold had stayed out of the 2003 recall election,
McClintock would have won.
If you don't know that then I suggest you look at the last polls taken before the election.
“If the choice were between Cruz Bustamante, the Democrat and Tom McClintock, the Republican, who would you be more likely to vote for: Cruz Bustamante or Tom McClintock?”
Probable Voters
McClintock 56%
Bustamante 37%

I had posted this to the list earlier. I was not sure what to do with the second WND story yet or how describe it. I am waiting for more developements in this, but I am watching with a great deal of interest.
And it’s a $%^* shame that blockhead DIDN’T stay out of the election. I think McClintock would have been a GREAT governor. Although I’m very happy to have him in the House!
I voted for McClintock in that election. Now we have Arnold. And he’s a much bigger spender than Gray Davis.
This is really an exciting prospect if Dear Leader and his designated VP, “Stand up Chuck” Biden, are declared unelected!
President Pelosi!
Wow - wow - wow... this could be fun fun fun!!!
I've said it before and I've said it again -- I think Obama wants this.
I think he wants a general civil tumult with him in the bully pulpit, so he can impose "order" like Lincoln did, and "reorganize" the government the way he likes, and eviscerate the heart of the conservative movement by killing or imprisoning the leadership "legally", under a rubric of "suppressing insurrection".
He really wants it, he's been throwing hard elbows and high-sticking conservatives since he entered office, and he's got the 'Ratmedia on his side to lie about it.
I did not say that they did. I said they said they have his birth certificate on file. I chose to believe the Hawaiian officials rather than opinions I read on the internet, absent evidence to the contrary.
Yeah, definitely.
The left in general, and 0bama in particular,
is looking for an excuse to use state power (deadly force)
against ideological opponents.
No, if Obama isn't eligible, the Electoral College would have to meet again and "chuse" someone the way they used to do it in the Federal Period. No committed electors (except those for McCain), just round after round of balloting until a new president is chosen.
Hell, they could elect Sarah. Or Hillary. Or Joe the Plumber. When the Electors meet without pledges, all bets are off, man.
No, he should not be exiled but punished.
How can the election be valid if the person running for president was invalid? If nothing else...McCain would be president and Biden Vice President, maybe?
You forget that the electoral college elects the president.
We elect electors. They haven’t been disqualified.
Electors elect the pres & veep separately on independent ballots.
Biden was elected to veep Constitutionally, and he’s qualified to be president, as far as we know.
BIRFISTS ARE RISING!!
Then we're agreed that conservatives will have to play a very frosty hand.
I'm sure guys like El Rushbo and Laura Ingraham and Bill Bennett will get it, but there are a bunch of them out there like Prager and Mark Levin and Doc Savage that "just don't care" and might go off the cliff.
Well RINOld has “poisoned the GOP CA well” so badly because of his incompetence & liberalism, it will probably be another decade before the GOP can get a dogcatcher elected to statewide office in CA.
Isn’t that amazing? Weird stuff. Saw shots of the gooey mess on TV this morning. Blech!
What’s a “birfist”?
Yes, I guess it does. I frankly didn't think the natural born citizen rule made sense as recently as when it was an issue for Arnold! but now with a man whom I am not sure has the interest of the US in his heart, I understand where the Constitutional framers were coming from. They were deeply concerned about divided loyalties in the most powerful office in the country and now we see an example of what that means, and how one can be raise to make loyalty to the US as we know it a very marginal thing.
For, in reality, President Obama is surrounded by people who hate the country I grew up in and are determined to change it into something none of us recognizes. But, in this question, it is just a legal question. I am not all that into hanging my hat on it for real hope. My hope lies in the choice of plain old citizens to vote their interests in the normal way. I am sure this is the best way to get all of this resolved.
