Earth to birthers: the facts about Obama’s birth certificate
The Daily Caller ^ | 02/16/2011 | Jonathan Strong

Posted on 02/16/2011 7:38:10 AM PST by Rational Thought

A new poll shows just over half of likely Republican primary voters question where President Obama was born. What’s up with “birtherism” and why does it have such staying power?

The evidence shows Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961. During the 2008 presidential campaign, Obama released a “Certification of Live Birth,” a document produced by the state of Hawaii certifying the state holds records that a person was born there.

Further, two Hawaiian newspaper announcements from 1961 tell of Obama’s birth. Janice Okubo, a spokeswoman for the Hawaii Department of Health, told the Honolulu Advertiser in July 2009 that such newspaper announcements were based on notifications from the Health Department, which received information directly from hospitals.

The certification of live birth Obama released is legally sufficient documentation to apply for a U.S. passport, but it’s not the same thing as a “long form” birth certificate, called a “Certificate of Live Birth” in Hawaii. That document is issued by hospitals and includes additional information not on the certification.

Dr. Chiyome Fukino, stated she had personally viewed the long-form birth certificate

The new Gov. of HI Abercrombie, a close personal friend of Obama Sr. says he’s looked everywhere and cant find it

What happened to it now? Did Linda Lingle take it with here when she left?

It’s just vanished into thin air, it appears!

And Obama doesn't have to do a damn thing to defend himself. Whether he was born here or not, the issue is a loser.

True, Obama doesn't have to incriminate himself, but wasn't somebody somewhere supposed to vet his qualifications to run as President? This is the sort of thing that should lead to cries of "Reform!"

Obama has never been a professor. He was a lecturer.

They throw these words around, like “professor,” and they find their way into everyone’s discourse.

Informed citizens know that Hawaiian Gov. Abercrombie
recently settled any doubts about Obama's birth status.

I really wonder what would be the best way to capitalize upon the birther issues concerning Obama/Soetoro.

Buy several thousand T-shirts and have them silk screened, and then put them up for sale on Ebay and Amazon?

Create several dozen types of bumper stickers, hat logos or just some simple flags?

Either while obama is squatting in the Whitehouse or after he leaves there will be a very productive and profitable market selling items about his possible four year usurpation as POTUS.

Members of any political party will want to show their opinions as it is blatantly apparent obama is rapidly losing his support base, even his most staunch loyalists are probably looking for Sarah Palin plates right now.

And then there is the book market, a TV series and who knows maybe a major motion picture.

All I can say is that America will jump on the opportunity to make money about all of obamas mistakes, his lack of a verifiable past and of course his dual citizenship and loyalties.

Dear Freeper "Rational Thought",

Please consider copying the following to this poor fellow who wrote that blog-essay. Thanks!


Obama has played you for a real mark. There's NO birth certificate. There's a fake one -- or maybe a few different versions of fake ones -- placed with shills.

Those birth announcements from two papers, are you really sure of them. I am not. Those could also be shill-placed plants. This a a BIG-TIME fraud, many millions have been spent on it.

"A confidence trick or confidence game (also known as a bunko, con, flim flam, gaffle, grift, hustle, scam, scheme, swindle or bamboozle) is an attempt to defraud a person or group by gaining their confidence. The victim is known as the mark, the trickster is called a confidence man, con man, confidence trickster, grifter, or con artist, and any accomplices are known as plants. Confidence men or women exploit characteristics of the human psyche such as greed, both dishonesty and honesty, vanity, compassion, credulity, irresponsibility, naïveté, and the thought of trying to get something of value for nothing or for something far less valuable. Confidence men or women have victimized individuals from all walks of life.

Confidence tricks exploit typical human qualities such as greed, dishonesty, vanity, honesty, compassion, credulity, irresponsibility and naïveté. The common factor is that the victim (mark) relies on the good faith of the con artist.

Shills, also known as accomplices, help manipulate the mark into accepting the con man's plan.

-- wikipedia entry for Confidence Trick

And tell your dear friend, Jonathan, that he could his own research considerably better than he has done. His laziness makes him a better mark, sure. But is that what he wants to be?

It's a clue to the more wise that when one leads off with a mocking of one's supposed opponents one's own case is very weak, deficient, immature, poorly-done, half-baked, half-cocked, premature, on shaky ground, all hat and no cattle, hysterical, emotional rather than logical, deformed, delusional, irrational or some combination of those attributes.

And dear Jonathan did lead off with a mocking!

So please pass along my good advice to him, would you, fellow Freeper?

Best Regards,

--bvw

The electronic COLB Obama has offered up as evidence has about as much authority as the piece of paper in this picture.

I think they must mean professer, not professor.

We know him as a profess-er of Marxist-Leninist dialectic.

From the article:

“Birthers” and other critics have demanded Obama produce the long form birth certificate for reasons ranging from bizarre conspiracy theorizing to simple transparency.

In the early 1960s, the long form birth certificate would have included the following information that is not on the certification Obama released: the name of the hospital where he was born, the age, birthplace, and occupation of his father and mother, the signature of the attending physician and registrar and whether his mother’s residence is “on a farm or plantation.”

Yep, read my lips, 0h0m0llah, squelch the conspiracy theories by publishing the long form without which you won't be running for reelection in '12.

No, no, no, no no.

No!

That's NOT what she said. She was more careful with her words than that, and FAR MORE careful with her words under oath. The upshot is we have not idea what she said she saw, or even that what she said meant she saw anything at all!

Exactly. That was my point when I posted this blog earlier
somewhat seriously and facetiously.

Why doesn’t Kapiolani or Queens Hospital post a landmark
of his birthplace?
( there have been varying accounts of which hospital he
was born in )

Of course you are correct.

Add this to the ever-growing list of things badly requiring reform.

If I were an enterprising reporter in Hawaii, I'd find a few people born there in 1961 and ask them if they can find their birth certificates. That should be simple enough.

One person from each hospital, from the timeframe that BO was allegedly born.

The afterbirthers say the health department was responsible for placing birth announcements.

They do this to counter the argument that a family member could have placed BO’s birth announcement.

Have we seen the birth announcements for the Nordike twins?
