Last fall, American voters were given a choice of two major candidates for the presidency John McCain and Barack Obama.
Both of them faced questions about their constitutional eligibility to serve.
McCain was not born in the United States. He was born in Panama to two parents who were U.S. citizens, his father serving in the Navy. To make his case for eligibility, he submitted all required paperwork to U.S. Senate investigators.
Obama's story was different. He claimed to have been born in Honolulu and provided to select news organizations and an outfit called FactCheck.org, associated with a former Obama employer, the Annenberg Foundation, a copy of what he claimed was a Hawaiian "certification of live birth," an unsigned document that provided no information about the hospital in which he was born and the doctor who supervised the birth.
The U.S. Senate found, in a unanimous vote, that McCain was eligible because his parents were both U.S. citizens.
But no investigation was conducted by the U.S. Senate or any other official government agency into the eligibility of Obama. Instead, Obama was found to be eligible only by FactCheck.org and the select news organizations provided with the documentation by the Obama campaign.
In other words, it was a total breakdown of the electoral system. Nobody asked Obama to prove he was eligible. He was indeed certified as eligible by one prominent government official Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, not acting in her official role, but rather acting in her private role as chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee.

That would make his entire life narrative false. And Lord knows, most of his BS in his books is just that, false.
Who is brave enough to take on the DNC and their media lapdogs? Very disappointed in Beck, Coulter and O'Reilly not touching this. Still hoping for Hannity to break this on TV; Rush, on talk radio.
Rush has talked about it on several occasions.
“It [the “Short Form” Hawaii birth certificate] is not a suitable document with which to obtain a U.S. passport.....”
That is incorrect.
Residents of Hawaii do NOT have to submit their “Long Form” birth certificate to obtain a passport.
The “Short Form” Hawaii birth certificate is recognized by the State Department, and they will issue a passport based on that document.
As my archive can confirm, I greatly admire Mr. Farah, and I want Obama to release his “Long Form” birth certificate.
However, Mr. Farah has made this same error several times, and he needs to correct himself.
He interviewed the State Dept.
If a Hawaii resident calls the Department of Health and requests a birth certificate, Hawaii automatically sends out the “Short Form,” identical to Obama’s “Short Form.”
Several Hawaii government officials have stated that publicly, on several occasions.
To obtain a “Long Form,” you must explicitly request a “Long Form.”
Strange procedure, if what you say is true.
So, most Hawaii residents send the State Department their “Short Form,” then the State Department refuses to issue the passport?
Then, the Hawaii residents re-contact the Department Health, which then tells residents they need to send their “Long Form” to get a passport?
Strange procedure.
