At StatePaper.com, we know by making this statement we will be instantly tagged as "racist," "birther," or other pejorative terms by those who defend the President of the United States. We often defend the President and the job he is doing and are regularly lambasted for being "too liberal" or an "Obama lover" by some of our most prolific critics.
But, here is the issue:
The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of our country. Article II of the Constitution requires the President to be a natural born citizen. Without reciting them here, there appears to be some serious questions raised about whether President Obama was born in the United States or Kenya. We have not checked sources, but there are reports that some witnessed his birth in Kenya.
The President's campaign staff and then his administration have released and placed on the internet a "Certificate of Live Birth." We do not dispute the validity or correctness of that document as others have tried to do, suggesting the use of computers to alter seals and names. By releasing this document the President agrees that the claims about his status as a natural born citizen is an open, important, public issue.
But, this "Certificate of Live Birth" is simply not the best evidence that the President and his administration could offer to lay to rest any doubt about his status as a natural born citizen.

yea... they are bleeding now.... lol
This is not a unreasonable thing to ask for since being a "natural born citizen" of the US is a constitutional requirement for the job of President. It's not hateful, and it's not racist.
Proving that you are should be an honor.
Yet Obama cannot and will not produce either. Why?
The following document is a Certified Copy of Registration of Birth, puporting to be from Kenya. It has gotten a lot of press. It has a number of issues which means, IMHO, that in all probability that it is not authentic. Yet, it looks more authentic than the electronic Certificate of Live Birth (COLB, not the long form Birth Certificate which has never been offered) that the Obama administration has shown on their web site.
The point is, this supposed document is out there and is being analyzed to death and will ultimately be certified one way or the other by experts. Obama's long form birth certificate is not...it is getting no such review. The longer it is absent, the more insistent the demands will be for it to be made public.
A number of military Officers are now suing for Obama to prove and show his "bonafides" before deploying, because for them, it becomes a life or death issue to follow their Commander in Chief. The same applies in principle to all citizens. In the end, Obama will not be able to forever hide from proving the constitutional qualification.
MY LETTER TO THE WHITEHOUSE AND OBAMA ABOUT FREE SPEECH
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S UPBRINGING
Hmm. Good point.
Does anyone know where this paper stands on the political spectrum? I notice that most, though not all, of the readers who respond to the article appear to be moonbats. Which suggests that this is likely not a conservative paper.
I think slowly, slowly, the After-Birthers realize that the BC needs to be released.
Only so many fake Australian BC’s are possible...until everyone catches on....
Does make you wonder more, why some like Beck, Coulter, Malkin, and others not on the left....have become After-Birthers....its not like the DailyKos, HuffPo people are going to love them....
Todays new Salon article (surprisingly) admits that what Obama released is not his official birth certificate. The CNN emails to Dobbs admitted it as well.
No matter where you are on this issue, you have to admit that on this one pretty big point-the so called “birthers” were correct from the start and the “he already released his birth certificate” defense has pretty much been abandoned.
The Salon article also admitted that babies born outside of Hawaii can in fact get the type of document obama has released (another huge admission) but that the actual birthplace would be listed on the form.
Until an individual born outside of Hawaii can produce the same document Obama has put out, that issue seems to be at a dead end.
Well, he won’t. Maybe he can’t.
I don’t wonder why those people you mentioned are now after-birthers.
I think a number of people fear what the results of proving Obama is an illegal president will be.
Attempting to remove him from office by any mean, even if justified, will tear this country to pieces.
However, leaving him in office will also tear this country to pieces.
This is not a good situation at all.
0bama hasn’t kept his BC hidden this long, at tremendous cost, to release it now.
No dead ends. Obama could have easily been born outside of HI and had granny submit an affidavit and fill out a form that he was born on the island. We’ll get to the bottom of it.
Maybe his BC just states, oh gee, I dunno:
“Good Apgar score, but baby born with vestigial tail.
Said tail is about 4 inches long and very fluffy.”
Enquiring minds want to know!
.
Until it becomes such a huge distraction, that the media finally turns on him and agrees with the Dobbs position. They already have put this story on the frontpages thinking they would kill the story. Boy, were they idiots for thinking that.
They fear the consequences of Zer0 being removed.
Let me rephrase that:
The argument that one can be KNOWN BY STATE OFFICIALS to have been born outside of Hawaii and receive the same worded document that Obama produced thru the web seems to be a dead end unless another person born outside Hawaii can produce the same worded document.
The idea Obamas granny lied about the whereabouts of his birth to state officials to get that form is a different argument than “people born outside the US can get that same form”.
A short form birth certificate from New Jersey got me a passport, twice.
We were quick to jump on the Rather forgery, we shouldn't lose credibility on this one.
