Obama blames eligibility woes on GOP and "hyperpartisanship"

This looks like Obama is trying to float a test excuse as to why he won't be showing up at the ballot-eligibility hearing in Georgia on Thursday.

Carney: Obama sees ‘regrettable level of hyperpartisanship’ in Washington

"Even though he promised to bridge partisanship before coming into office, President Obama “accepts that there is still a regrettable level of hyperpartisanship,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said on Monday.

Carney said there were “instances” in which the tone on Pennsylvania Avenue “got in the way of moving forward.”

To solve the problem is very simple for Obama if indeed he is legally qualified to be President.

1. Fedex a notarized letter to the Records Department that says any individual that desires a copy of the “original” birth certificate on file in Hawaii is given permission by Barack Hussein Obama President of the United States to have such copy.

2. Give permission for Forensic Scientists to examine the original copy. The scientists to be chosen by the Supreme Court of the United States

3. Give a press conference 2 weeks later and tell the Birthers to Kiss his butt and then run against them in his political campaign for re-election.

He has not done any of the above. Why? !!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, somehow 0bama’s inability to produce anything but a “scan of an abstract” of his birth certificate

must be Bush’s fault.

I’m betting he’s going to take a snide shot at Republicans and all the reach-arounds in the audience will stand and applaud for a LONG time.

Pitch the reach-around RINO Republicans out on their masters’ a$$es!

Not to mention (can’t remember the actual #) something like 20 social security numbers.

NOTE that he’s now using “hyperbypartisanship” as a new label, due to he thinks no one will understand such a big word, then he can blame us all for being too stupid to understand him again. Just setting us up again as future blame victims.

Carney used an example of the GOP’s persistent call last year to release Obama’s birth certificate as a “gratuitously stupid side show.”

So, there we have it, Constitutional qualifications are merely a “gratuitous stupid side show”.

Americans are acting stupidly, persecuting out poor president. Race Card is coming any minute now.

What a shame there is such acrimony between the two parties.

And to think that Obama had well known democrat peacemakers
like Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Bawney Fwank working hard
to reach across the asile to those wascally wepubwicans.

Obama should lose the case by default. Let that happen in a few states and see how things go for him....

At some point in the future maybe we will find out the truth about hussein. Who is behind him getting in the White Hut? He has never had a job, has not one friend or relative in the USA that I know of and came out of nowhere to be president. All the while the DNCmedia helped him every step of the way. There is much more here than just some conspiracy theory.

Excellent point. It's too bad it was actually a persistent call from the GOP. Would be kind of cool if Donald Trump was asked about the hearing in Georgia, where he could say, "Yeah, it's time we finally have Obama's birth certificate looked at by a real court of law."

"I need to get a passport and it requires a certified copy of my birth certificate. I send my home state seven bucks, wait a week, and I have it."

Wait..you mean you don't have to send a team of lawyers to sign wavers???

That is funny ...

They must be feeling the heat. Can you imagine the conversations in the oval office?

Jablonski : “Your ‘F’d Mr. President. I'm not walking that forgery into an Atlanta court room. Don't you dare try to pull the race card and start a race war in Atlanta, my home. I'll spill the beans.”

Obama: “OK, I'll just blame republicans and Hyperpatsanship.”

Press Briefing by Press Secretary Jay Carney, 1/23/12
Q What were you thinking of when you said that there are -- were some examples, instances where the tone got in the way of moving forward?

MR. CARNEY: Well, I'm not going to -- I think you guys reported on them so you know. I can remember, early in my days as Press Secretary, spending an awful lot of time answering questions about the President's birth certificate, which seemed like a gratuitously stupid sideshow at a time when we had enormously important things to do. That's just one.
But the point is that we have -- our challenges are too big to get dragged down by these kinds of things. And that's what the President believes and that's what he has believed and spoken about since he got in the business of electoral politics and it's going to be what he continues to talk about tomorrow night and beyond.

Is that worry on your brow, bro?
Seems like some more pointed, and direct, questions by the press need to be asked. The ones asked by them so far have been rather tame and lame.

Here's an easy one...Is this sitting President a natural born citizen or not when his Father wasn't even a US citizen?

The next headline needs to be “Obama refuses to show up and prove he is eligible” ...

Actually when I got my passport the certified copy had to accompanied by the “Book and Page number” it was copied from.

I’d like to see exactly where any of the Washington press asked questions about Obama’s birtt certificate. It didn’t become a “hot” issue until Trump started talking about it. And even then, the LMSM was treating Trump like he was crazy, and made excuses for Obama. If I were a reporter I’d be asking Carney what the hell he’s talking about??
