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.
Only way this will ever really heat up is if, and when, the State-run media start asking questions. Until that time,
it is, for all intent and purpose, a dead issue. State-run
MSM is only interested if it makes Bush, Palin, Cheney, et. al. look bad. Otherwise, to them anything else is a “yawner”.
“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.”
I do not believe that technically- He has even done that. That is a liberal talking point.
Info ping times two. ;-)
Years and years of dumbing down by publik skools and the MSM.
lmao- that pic makes him look like a turtle
Good idea. And here is Mother Jones BIO.

“He was disbarred for that indiscretion, you know.”
Not disbarred, it was a suspension that ended in 2006. He’s probably reclaimed his license by now.

It was originally reported by Mother Jones magazine, in this article: Is the Secret Service Targeting the Birthers?
There is a 150+ posting thread discussing the Mother Jones article at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2422987/posts.
“Even though the president has already produced his short-form birth certificate”
He has produced a sheet of paper that doesn’t even have a signature on it, just a rubber-stamped facsimile of a signature. It seems to promise that there really is a birth certificate somewhere, cross my heart.
Innocent men do not spend millions of dollars to keep a document out of public view.
Republicans who attack “birthers” should be ashamed.
That is going to fry his a$$ very soon.
Hes on borrowed time already.
Do you have a link by any chance? Was it posted on FR?
Plus, unfortunately, it was a Sel S. official in HI...
Well, the Pajamas piece is more or less fawning over 0bama and criticizing idiots who question either his eligibility - or anything, really, about him. Here is the “proof” that 0bama registed with Selective Service:
” Mr. Owens,
Barack Hussein Obama registered at a post office in Hawaii. The effective registration date was September 4, 1980.
His registration number is 61-1125539-1.
Daniel Amon
Public Affairs Specialist”
That’s it.
Not saying he did register, or didn’t, but since the 0-team released what purported to be an application for S.S., the HI “official” could easily have been given a copy so he could read the numbers and date off of it.
Not saying that’s what happened. But Amon typing the numbers off of an authentic or fake document do not prove anything, other than that Amon can read and type.
This is wishful thinking. The only way the ‘birth certificate and so on’ issue will get traction is if the Democrats become desperate to rid themselves of the Obama albatross before 2012.
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<
I agree the Country has moved beyond being a Constitutional representitive Republic. The tyrants are in complete control
and they are going to force you to comply with their “laws” or you will pay!! there is no recourse with out revolt!
Now that the morons who voted for the socialist realize what damage he is doing, they will jump at anything to be rid of him.
You are right, and it will come from different areas, I think right now the intelligence agencies are fed up with him to the point that they surely will in due time covertly release hidden documentation to the public like more records of his past. And that applies to other governments like the Mossad, MI6, Surete and such.
I think the big tipping point will happen when people start actually seeing money taken away from their paychecks for Obamacare, or knowing that someone in the state next to you isn’t paying what you are forced to.
His actions echo the lack of a background foot print.
Something is amiss.
