Clinton rips 'birthers' By: Andy Barr May 24, 2010 01:52 PM EDT
Former President Bill Clinton is taking the so-called birthers to task for ignoring evidence that President Barack Obama was born in the United States.
Clinton made the comments during a commencement address at Yale University on Sunday as part of a critique of American media consumption habits.
The only place where were bigoted now is we only want to be around people who agree with us, Clinton said. In our media habits, we go to the television shows, we go to the radio talk shows we go to the blog sites that agree with us. And it can have very bizarre consequences.
The former president pointed to the birthers an example of one of those bizarre consequences.
Hawaii, the state where President Obama was born, has done everything they can to debunk this myth that he wasnt born in America, Clinton said. Theyve done everything but blow up his birth certificate, put it in neon lights and hang it on the dome in the Capitol.
But 45 percent of registered Republicans still believe that he is serving unconstitutionally, Clinton insisted, though he did not identify the poll.
Why? he asked. Because theyve been told that by the only place they go to get information.

Au contraire mi amigo (a little texmex frog lingo there) the Messiah is a one termer. Guess who is salivating in the wings for a crack at 12?
She will be waiting a long time. After bammy, no Dem will sit in the WH for another 24 years.
I am not sure about that, but what suddenly made Biull think he needed to address the issue in public?
nothing- so... why did he suddenly bring it up? Well, knowing Bill and Hill... she wants his background to get cloudier.
I hope the Kenyan is exposed soo- if he is illegal then everything he signed is void.
Ain’t buyin’ it, Billy. You know you hate Obama and would love to see him fall and hard.
Probably because it is hard for Americans to believe that another American, expecially a US president, would be such a Communist-Marxist POS. I think 0 from another planet and needs to show an inter-galactic birth/hatching certificate.
By the way Slick Willy, where is your birth cetificate?
Bill hurts Hilary’s chances to be the president every time he talks.
Why should I care what this accused Racist (as per the Obama Campaign ‘08) says?
obama was born in Kenya.
I’m past caring anything about what this bloated buffoon has to say. He’s simply trying desperately to stay relevant.
Wish he would dry up and blow away...both he and that horse Hillary he rode in on....wonder what’s behind his behavior.
Fall 2011 when the lie is fully disclosed...
“Look, Hillary and I are just as shocked about this revelation as anyone else. He even fooled his own party and those whom loved him most. That’s why it’s time he save this country the pain and simply choose not to run again in 2012.”
Who is kidding who?
Hillary Clinton was behind the very first lawsuit that was filed.
“A prominent Philadelphia attorney and Hillary Clinton supporter filed suit this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee.
The action seeks an injunction preventing the senator from continuing his candidacy and a court order enjoining the DNC from nominating him next week, all on grounds that Sen. Obama is constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the office of President of the United States.
Phillip Berg, the filing attorney, is a former gubernatorial and senatorial candidate, former chair of the Democratic Party in Montgomery (PA) County, former member of the Democratic State Committee, and former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania. ..”

A prominent Philadelphia attorney and Hillary Clinton supporter filed suit this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee.
The action seeks an injunction preventing the senator from continuing his candidacy and a court order enjoining the DNC from nominating him next week, all on grounds that Sen. Obama is constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the office of President of the United States.
Phillip Berg, the filing attorney, is a former gubernatorial and senatorial candidate, former chair of the Democratic Party in Montgomery (PA) County, former member of the Democratic State Committee, and former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania. According to Berg, he filed the suit—just days before the DNC is to hold its nominating convention in Denver—for the health of the Democratic Party.
“I filed this action at this time,” Berg stated, “to avoid the obvious problems that will occur when the Republican Party raises these issues after Obama is nominated.”.
Berg cited a number of unanswered questions regarding the Illinois senator’s background, and in today’s lawsuit maintained that Sen. Obama is not a naturalized U.S. citizen or that, if he ever was, he lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia. Berg also cites what he calls “dual loyalties” due to his citizenship and ties with Kenya and Indonesia.
Even if Sen. Obama can prove his U.S. citizenship, Berg stated, citing the senator’s use of a birth certificate from the state of Hawaii verified as a forgery by three independent document forensic experts, the issue of “multi-citizenship with responsibilities owed to and allegiance to other countries” remains on the table.
In the lawsuit, Berg states that Sen. Obama was born in Kenya, and not in Hawaii as the senator maintains. Before giving birth, according to the lawsuit, Obama’s mother traveled to Kenya with his father but was prevented from flying back to Hawaii because of the late stage of her pregnancy, “apparently a normal restriction to avoid births during a flight.” As Sen. Obama’s own paternal grandmother, half-brother and half-sister have also claimed, Berg maintains that Stanley Ann Dunham—Obama’s mother—gave birth to little Barack in Kenya and subsequently flew to Hawaii to register the birth.
Berg cites inconsistent accounts of Sen. Obama’s birth, including reports that he was born at two separate hospitals—Kapiolani Hospital and Queens Hospital—in Honolulu, as well a profound lack of birthing records for Stanley Ann Dunham, though simple “registry of birth” records for Barack Obama are available in a Hawaiian public records office.
Should Sen. Obama truly have been born in Kenya, Berg writes, the laws on the books at the time of his birth hold that U.S. citizenship may only pass to a child born overseas to a U.S. citizen parent and non-citizen parent if the former was at least 19 years of age. Sen. Obama’s mother was only 18 at the time. Therefore, because U.S. citizenship could not legally be passed on to him, Obama could not be registered as a “natural born” citizen and would therefore be ineligible to seek the presidency pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution.
Moreover, even if Sen. Obama could have somehow been deemed “natural born,” that citizenship was lost in or around 1967 when he and his mother took up residency in Indonesia, where Stanley Ann Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian citizen. Berg also states that he possesses copies of Sen. Obama’s registration to Fransiskus Assisi School In Jakarta, Indonesia which clearly show that he was registered under the name “Barry Soetoro” and his citizenship listed as Indonesian.
The Hawaiian birth certificate, Berg says, is a forgery. In the suit, the attorney states that the birth certificate on record is a forgery, has been identified as such by three independent document forensic experts, and actually belonged to Maya Kasandra Soetoro, Sen. Obama’s half-sister.
“Voters donated money, goods and services to elect a nominee and were defrauded by Sen. Obama’s lies and obfuscations,” Berg stated. “If the DNC officers ... had performed one ounce of due diligence we would not find ourselves in this emergency predicament, one week away from making a person the nominee who has lost their citizenship as a child and failed to even perform the basic steps of regaining citizenship as prescribed by constitutional laws.”
“It is unfair to the country,” he continued, “for candidates of either party to become the nominee when there is any question of the ability to serve if elected.”
In an interview that aired on ABCs World News Tonight Bill Clinton denied that he is angry at Barack Obama, but offered very little in terms of an endorsement and enthusiasm for the Democratic nominee. Clinton denied that he is still angry, Im not, and I never was mad at Senator Obama. I think everybodys got a right to run for president if he qualifies under the Constitution... "
If you are adopted ,your birth falls under special rules to protect the birth parents and the child . But there are records avaiable ( court order ) that would give your place of birth , birth parents, hospital ,doctors. Are you suggesting that obama was adopted ?. As this would be the only way he would not have a standard birth record from Hawaii. For what’s it worth, obama is not listed by Hawaiian records as ever having been issued a CERTIFIED CERTIFICATE OF BIRTH that shows he was born in Hawaiian hospital. Even the hospital(it has change several times) he now claims he was born in has no records of his birth.
RE#3;
You are correct.
It’s a matter of who’s FBI files out-trump the other when the time is right.
Yeah, can you imagine being a parent having paid 4+ years of tuition and expenses and then having to sit there and listen to that garbage (Arizona State this past weekend as another example!). I realize that a lot in the audience at a place like Yale was probably all too happy to lap it all up, but I'm sure there must be some parents at some schools that don't want to hear that at all. Hey, how about West Point this weekend? That had to make a lot of the parents and graduates sick to their stomachs to have to listen that treasonous screed, what a shame...
I attended a local university college's convocation and didn't have to get up and barf, the speaker was Cousin Brucie and he kept his address about the graduates, imagine that. (The only brief moment that wasn't enjoyable was when he spoke about seeing his mother and all the women in the neighborhood crying around a portable radio listening to the news of fdr's death. He just noted it as his initial inspiration to get into radio, didn't comment much more than that.) I have no idea what his politics were before the speech, and didn't know any more about them when he was done; just the way it should be!
I am a birther.
