For about a year now there has been a great deal of debate about whether or not President Barack Obama is truly a natural born American citizen. According to the Constitution, Article 2, Sec. 1, “No person except a natural born citizen…shall be eligible to the office of president.” The Obama campaign and administration have always claimed that he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. A Certificate of Live Birth was presented by the Obama campaign showing that Obama is an American citizen[1]; however, Hawaiian law didn’t require Obama to actually have been born in Hawaii in order to obtain this registration.[2] This, among other things, has created a public outcry – from a group now referred to as “birthers” – for Obama to show his long form birth certificate, which would disclose information such as which hospital he was born in, who delivered him, etc. that would solidify the fact that he actually was born in America. The Obama campaign and administration have failed to present this document to anyone. Instead, they have been suppressing the issue using two tactics: hiring lawyers to defend him against the legal dilemma – such as lawyer Perkins Coie, who was paid $688,316[3] – and creating the ignorant propaganda, repeated by many liberals, that anyone who questions Obama’s eligibility is weird, crazy or racist. The liberal mainstream media has propagated the latter tactic through news broadcasts, such as Nightly News with Brian Williams, which incorrectly assert that Obama has proven his eligibility.[4]

There may be a good strategic reason why Obama does not release his birth certificate (which would probably prove that he was born in Hawaii, IMO): he wants folks like us to keep agitating and speculating about this stuff so that he can paint us as nutjobs. He’s picking us out, freezing us, personalizing us, and polarizing us, and we’re practically handing him a method of doing so.
The whole issue is that he didn't show his birth certificate and here you are saying that he did when he didn't!
Just like he didn't release his school records or his adoption records or a plethora of other records that, until this point in time, has never been done before. Nobody else has given up nothing. Nobody!
Yeah, you go ahead and believe that the media and Mr. Soerto have your best interest at heart in this matter and have nothing to hide.
Good luck with that.
You'll pardon me if I remain skeptical.
AMAZing! ...Think it will hold up?
Well, I dunno for sure, my Friend.
Verrrrry interesting to say the least, however.
Verrrrry interesting !!
See #197, #260, #261
With special attention to #260, this sounds very very close to the truth.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.
I HAPPEN TO LIKE COORS LITE YOU COMMIE PINKO TRAITOR!!!!
Thanks for the ping!
I keep wondering “if this is true, how did Team Hillary ever let him get elected?”
Maybe it is just as simple as, hillary isn’t as smart as the MSM has led us to believe.
Thank you for the brave ping, Meek [post 197]. Time will tell. BTW, I just heard [for the first time for me at least] that Hannity has joined us on the BC issue in a very sensible tone. As for your critics, criticism is one thing that keeps this forum great, but at the same time, I remember how a single anonymous caller tipped us off that Gitmo detainees were throwing excrement at the guards [and worse]. Curious investigators eventually verified the claim. God bless you and FRegards ....
