President Barack Obama's nationality scandal is gathering speed and refusing to go away now that Congress has got involved.
There have been rumbles of unrest around the world regarding Obama's nationality since the day he stated he would run for the presidency. Now, after more than a year as president of the USA, the rumbles have turned into a full on eruption.
The Barack Obama nationality scandal is refusing to burn itself out and seems to be gathering even more speed with Congressman Nathan Deal questioning the eligibility of Obama to hold the presidency. This is the first time in history that a serving president has been questioned about eligibility by a member of congress.
Over the last week the internet has been reporting this story with the blogosphere almost going into meltdown over the latest developments yet no mainstream media seem interested in the story that just won't go away for Obama.
Congressman Deal asked the president to prove that he is legally entitled to hold the presidency electronically on December 1st 2009. This communication was confirmed received by Obama's staff but has yet to be responded to.
Even though the president has already produced his short-form birth certificate in order to stop these questions, he has spent a large amount of taxpayers money (estimated to be more than two million dollars) ensuring that the long-form certificate is kept from the public - an action that has raised more than a few eyebrows along the way.
Throughout the campaign trail and longer, Obama made promises of the most transparent administration than any other so why the need to hide a simple birth certificate? Many claim that the whole situation is a complete waste of time and distracting but supporters of the question refuse to stop asking more and more questions.
It seems that the original question seems to have caused a stir not just in America but worldwide with thousands of people doing independent research in an attempt to get the facts out. The problem with independent research is that it is hard to verify where the alleged facts came from and when they are traced back it's not unusual to find that it stemmed from opinion.
With several birth certificates doing the rounds, many proven as hoaxes, the 'official' birth certificate in the Obama nationality scandal seems to prove that the president was in fact a British Subject at birth. On the website dedicated to protecting Obama from smears, Fight The Smears, there is an electronic copy of the birth certificate showing that Obama was born a British Subject. This in itself has been the cause for much speculation on how, why and when nationality was transferred.
Obama's nationality scandal doesn't seem to be going anywhere at the moment and even the Secret Service seem to be taking an interest in anyone questioning Obama's nationality with visits being made for security reasons. Reported last week at Mother Jones, more and more people who have raised issue are being visited by the Secret Service and being left feeling very intimidated.
No matter what side of the fence you sit on this scandal seems set to stay around for a long time to come.

Then you are a birther.
Oh Nooooooo.... ;^)
let’s see it barry
Everybody’s missing the point here. This doesn’t matter. Even if 100% of Americans agree Obama is ineligible, he’ll never be removed from office. It’ll never happen.
This country stopped being a country of laws when Bill Clinton comitted purjury before a grand jury and no one even blinked. Anyone else would have gone to jail.
If we couldn’t eject Clinton for comitting a crime on national television, Obama’s safe.
I ran across the story below while I was doing a search. Got a good laugh. :)
It still matters.
When I go to get my driver’s license I have to show several things, including my birth certificate. Why are you so against the president proving he was born in this country??
You would need this list + 2 picture Id’s to work anywhere or get a legal drivers license. Did he have a valid Illinois Driver’s license ? Hawaiian? Does he drive?
Show me the paperwork ....
Of course it matters - it matters if you’re American. It won’t matter to liberals because they aren’t.
You’ll get no argument from me on that.
I went and read the article and it is very poor.
Basically, the guy got an email back, eventually, from the Government, saying “everything is OK” and he thinks that ended it.
No paper.
no proof.
No response from Zero and his Chicago gangster team. Just an email.
Much better than the article - much much better - was comment #15
#15. from Wolla Dalbo:
So all of Obama’s relatives, with one exception, are not Muslims, his father was not a Muslim, his step-father was not a Muslim nor, was Obama’s paternal grandfather a Muslim? So Obama was never registered as a Muslim at any of the primary schools he attended, he never attended Muslim religious instruction at any of the elementary schools he attended, Obamanever went to the Mosque to pray, nor can he recite any Muslim prayers learned at that time in Arabic today?
I suggest readers consult this overview article with links (here at http://web.israelinsider.com/Articles/Politics/12745.htm), read the part of Obama’s own autobiography where he talks about his attending Muslim religious instruction at school i.e from “Dreams From My Father” p. 154
“In Indonesia, I had spent two years at a Muslim school, two years at a Catholic school. In the Muslim school, the teacher wrote to tell my mother that I made faces during Koranic studies.” In Arabic???
and also look at the New York Times article commenting on how perfectly Obama recently chanted the Muslim call to prayer for a TV reporter, a prayer, by the way, that he told the reporter “was one of the prettiest sounds on Earth as sunset”

The Barack Obama Nationality Question Heats Up
Yeah? Well it needs to heat up a lot more ...
CA....
See post 35.
good link -
ol’ “Hoax and Chains” keeps showing his butt, though..
notice how he discusses knowing children of a lot of ARMY personnel in Hawaii?? I would think there were a lot more NAVY personnel...but what would I know, I live in one of the other 57 states...
Beck has not followed the wealth of information which could be used as evidence to put Obama’s birthplace in Kenya. For that he is ignorant of information. If he applied his analytical gifts to uncovering the truth of the matter, we may get further along towards cracking this case. However he has bigger fish to fry. And the only conclusive proof would be that actual document. The production of the actual document may not happen. We might just get a faked document.
this is what I was pointing to:
“The Northeast Intelligence Network and Canada Free Press are in possession of extremely sensitive investigative documents, including a stunning written admission by a nationally known talk show host stating that he was threatened with his career – or worse - should he talk about the issue of Barack Hussein Obama’s birth records to a national audience. This document was obtained on December 10, 2008, and provides explicit detail of a “gag order” imposed on this host before and immediately following the national election last November.
After receiving and authenticating the document, US based veteran private investigator Douglas J. Hagmann opened a full scale investigation into the media blackout, with specific emphasis on tracing the blackout origins to those issuing them. This investigation was conducted in conjunction with Judi McLeod, founding editor of Canada Free Press and Brian Thompson, CFP Information Technology chief following a meeting near Toronto, Ontario last December. At that meeting, it was decided to keep the existence of the document secret until additional evidence could be obtained.
Today, after an extensive eight month investigation, the Northeast Intelligence Network and Canada Free Press are breaking their silence and revealing explosive information about a widespread cover-up that began at the earliest stages of the Obama presidential campaign. The cover-up traces back to some of the most powerful and influential people in the U.S. and continues today”
I just say prove it!!
That we cannot get access to that list of information is absolutely unbelievable. In the entire history of the Republic there has not been a President that we did not know everything about.
By comparison with other Presidents, we know nothing about Zero. It is just unbelievable that people do not seem to care. It almost makes me think it is some kind of mass hypnosis.
