Cary Clack: Obama opponents still question birthplace

Just off I-10 on the southeast side of San Antonio at the Pine Street exit, it stands tall and inquiring. It's a piece of American history, a billboard asking, "Where's The Birth Certificate?"

The question's not for you, me or for oversize 12-year-olds trying out next year for Little League baseball.

It's directed at only one person — President Obama — and comes from the same conspiratorial hinterlands in which the Clintons murdered Vince Foster (after leaving a trail of bodies behind in Arkansas) and where President George W. Bush planned or allowed the 9-11 attacks.

More than a year ago someone not keen on an Obama presidency came up with this syllogism:

1. Obama is the child of a black Kenyan father and white Kansas mother.

2. Obama was born in Hawaii.

Therefore, Obama was born in Kenya and isn't an American citizen.

Thus was born the "birther" movement. This isn't to be confused with the "Bertha" movement of the 1920s in which all American women named Bertha had to prove that their name actually wasn't Dolores.

Thanks, Frantzie.

I didn’t want to mention the rumored ‘deathbed’ confession by Grandmother Dunham. It is so far out there as to be unbelievable.

But there is much that is unbelievable about BHO, you know what I mean? For me, this would just be another lie by the President.

You're not the only one who has had this thought.

The more they write such hit pieces and spam threads here, the more I am convinced that this is a very real issue.

If it was nothing then why should the O-bots come out in such numbers to try to counter the ongoing investigations.

But Donofrio and Terrick aren’t after the birth certificate

I realize this. Donofrio has long-questioned Obama’s eligibility SOLELY on the basis that he is admittedly the son of a British subject at birth. Leo is on record in saying Obama’s birth certificate does not matter.

And I'm okay with his opinion. I and others see that the “Donofrio-argument” and the “Orly-argument” BOTH have merit. I want to see the SCOTUS define “natural-born Citizen” once and for all, since Congress is incapable of doing so. So ... if we find that IN THE END all evidence shows Obama was born in Hawaii, the "birthers" can focus entirely on the “Donofrio-argument”, which is a fight in and of itself.

Most "birthers" espouse BOTH Leo's and Orly's arguments. Steve Pidgeon supports both of these arguments, too, but went one step further by seeking Obama SR’s birth certificate as prima facie to back up the “Donofrio-argument.” That makes sense because we'd need to establish that Obama SR was, in fact, a British subject (even though Obama Jr admits it).

I personally don't care WHICH mechanism yields Obama’s long form. I just want it out there — with a legitimate trail of evidence showing a doctor and a hospital — not a Certification presented BY the Obama Campaign to Annenberg's FactCheck.org — for goodness sake!

Thanks justiceseeker93.

I seriously think Obama is out to destroy us or at least bring us way down. The USA needs to come down to fulfill one worlder goals. Obama often speaks as though he is Pres of the world, not us. We are merely an inconsequential stepping stone in his aspirations to rule the world.
