(CNN) The White House released President Obama’s original birth certificate Wednesday.
The surprise release follows recent and sustained remarks by businessman Donald Trump, among others, that raised doubts as to whether the president was born in the United States.
Thanks for the link; what I noticed immediately is the white haloing of the text... it’s odd, especially when you consider that ink tends to bleed a little.
Fox is giving him cover, this is the same document that he has already shown on the net.
It’s the COLB
He was hoping to save this for the primaries.
If this is real, Obama just self-destructed. People recall the Swiftboaters, I’m sure. They torpedoed the execrable Kerry’s asinine run for the WH. The way they treated Kerry will look like the kid glove treatment of a tender mother with her newborn, compared to what will happen to Obama if this thing is legit.
The commercial starts with the gates of Leavenworth slamming shut. The voice over says, ‘He asked to see his CIC’s most basic documentation—the same papers he had to show to join the military. It wasn’t too much to ask, considering he had just been asked to risk his life in Afghanistan.”
Segue to a pic of Obama golfing.
“He couldn’t be bothered. He let a decorated, honorable officer and family man rot in Leavenworth. He didn’t want to be late for his Tee-time.”
Segue to pic of Terry Lakin.
“His career was destroyed. His family suffered. All because Obama refused to release this:”
Segue to pic of BC.
Beat.
Segue to another goofy pic of Obama on the golf course.
“Is this the man you want sending your sons and daughters into harm’s way???”
Voice over, ‘paid for’ etc.
Obama will be toast For FREAKEN’ Ever!!!! He will be hated and despised, even by apolitical voters. This commercial is the blow/wound from which he could NEVER recover.
Any lurking Obots who want to harp on the it’s all Lakin’s fault meme, just be aware of one thing. Maybe one or two percent of the people watching the above commercial will blame Lakin. He’s rotting in Leavenworth, remember? It’s the Golfer in Chief who takes the brunt—as well he should.
This could be the question that keeps the birth certificate controversy alive. :)
If it’s real, he is NOT eligible to be President.
If it’s fake, he’s committing fraud on the American people.
Zero was wearing a US flag pin at the press briefing he just held. Has he EVER worn a flag pin before ???????????
The mother’s signature doesn’t look like a young girl’s signature, looks more like an older woman’s or man’s handwriting. Just sayin....
Excuse me, I don’t understand your reasoning.
I am overjoyed with anyone giving Obummer trouble
and there is so much more to do
Because the Nordyke copy is from 1966. Copy machines today are quite a bit different than copy machines were in 1966. Get a new copy of the Nordyke BC today and I imagine it will look a lot like this one from Barry.
HE didn’t show anything. His campaign released the COLB and it wasn’t signed.
The questions that now beg answers as I see them are:
Why did he not release this years ago?
Why did he spend millions to keep this under wraps until now?
And the larger question... Just what does it take to be a legal, natural born citizen? And what about that 14th Amendment to the constitution and the “subject to the jurisdiction” thing really mean?
That larger one still needs to be addressed in the immigration issue.
I just did. The box in the middle is one box (minus the curved area that looks to be part of a book?), the date at the very bottom is one box, and the signature and confirmation of it being a true copy is one box. That’s as far as my knowledge with pdf editing goes.....
Obama's press conference reminds me of Clinton's speech on Monica Lewinsky. No questions were permitted from the reporters. And Obama must now go back to work for the American people.
Rush will have a big “I told you so” on this today...
You list people who were not under the "natural born citizen" clause like Thomas Jefferson. The other's parents were naturalized before those persons were born with the (probable) exception of Chester A Arthur who lied, obstructed and later burned his personal papers.
Every President born before the adoption of the Constitution in 1787 was eligible because of the grandfather clause of Article 2, Section 1:
“No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President;”
Both Andrew Jackson and Thomas Jefferson are covered by that clause.
James Buchanan’s father emigrated to the U.S. from Ireland in 1783. When the U.S. Constitution was adopted in 1787 (and ratified in 1788), it conferred citizenship upon everyone living in the States. Therefore James Buchanan’s father was a citizen of the United States when James Buchanan was born in 1791. So, James Buchanan was a natural born citizen.
Woodrow Wilson’s mother became a U.S. citizen by Congressional act in 1855. Wilson was born in 1856. Therefore, both of Wilson’s parents were U.S. citizens, which makes Wilson a natual born citizen.
Herbert Hoover’s mother became a citizen in 1870 under the same 1855 Congressional act that conferred citizenship on Wilson’s mother. Hoover was born in 1874 to two U.S. citizen parents and he is therefore a natural born citizen.
Chester Arthur is a different story. So, I’ll refer you to this site for the details: http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com/2008/12/
BTW, you forgot Andrew Johnson, but he too was a natural born citizen.
Obama’s is computer generated, or computer-manipulated.
You are aware of their divorce papers, aren’t you?
Really? Even before it’s analyzed? That would be careless. I see simple inconsistencies on my own, and I’m not an expert.
