How many Dems would be willing to cross the aisle to impeach the bastard?

Not enough Pubs to do it unilaterally.

Boner probably wouldn’t initiate in the House anyway.

Ed Morrissey of Hot Air (one of the) Hardest Hit.

He used to wave this piece of live birth announcement in a Hawaii newspaper and claim it is the Birth Certificate.

Oh dear. Obots and Concern Trolls have been telling us For Years that this is a Losing Issue. So why did it catch Internet fire like the Black Thursday Bushfires of Australia??? It couldn't be that the Obots and Concern Trolls were...wrong, could it?

::snicker:: When have they ever been right? The less popular their Liberal Dream POTUS gets, the more fascinated people become w his Eligibility Tall Tales, fraud, lies, double speak and outright treachery. Sorry Moonbats—on this issue, you people are LOSERS.

It would not surprise me if Obama lied about being born in Kenya to present himself as special or unique. Otherwise he was just an ordinary American born to a white woman, abandoned by his black father, raised by his white grandparents, and sent to a prestigous private school. What’s special about that?

He was clearly ashamed of his white family and had abandonment issues with his father. It’s not unusual for abandoned children to seek some way to identify/connect with their missing parents. Daddy went to Harvard. So Obama went to Harvard. Daddy was from Kenya. So Obama wanted to be from Kenya.

Being special/different opened doors for him until his political aspirations threatened to close those doors. So he discarded the old narrative and disassociated himself with those who had helped him create it. Then he set about creating a new narrative - one that fit his presidential aspirations - and associated himself with those who could best help him achieve his goal.

He is a documented liar. Always has been; always will be.

Whether he was born in Hawaii or Kenya, Obama has claimed both at various times to advance himself, and both cannot be true. This story, at the least, shows BO’s utter lack of veracity.

I'm sick of so many Republicans and\or Conservatives who ignore this issue. They are either afraid because they have allowed the liberal media to control their thoughts on the issue even if they aren't aware of it. The media did exactly what it wanted in getting one of the most important issues surrounding Obama seen as a joke by many. Then there are those disgusting self-described Conservatives who say the issue isn't important. If the Constitution isn't important to you then you are a disgrace. We have to remove this criminal scum from office if we have any chance.

The media can play too many Republicans into doing what they want with ease. They do they same thing with Presidential candidates who they persuade many of there supporters as being unelectable. The fact that Obama is electable shows we are done as a nation.

As a writer who has had a literary agent, let me say this: they always have you approve your final bio for their pages. In fact, they almost always have you write it and then submit it. I highly doubt it’s a mistake, no matter who they get to take the fall. So I’m guessing the birther movement extended back to 1991 in a desperate attempt to destroy Obama? And the fact they used this bio until 2007 - right before he announced his candidacy for president which requires him to be a natural born citizen - can’t possibly raise any red flags. We’re just nuts. Funny how all of the other information in the bio is considered accurate, just not his birthplace. What a crock!

I thought mack daddy's daddy was a goat herder.

Also, found this from August 2004 on FR no less:

Columnist Says Barack Obama 'Lied To The American People;' Asks Publisher to Withdraw Obama's Book

FReepers knew this guy was a liar and a radical from 2004. Eight years later and three and a half years into his Presidency, people aka sheeple are just figuring out he's a liar, fraud, and radical. Pretty damned sad! Pretty damned sad our country has been nearly destroyed by people unwilling to do a tiny bit of homework!

P.S. If anyone wants to hear more about this "latest" discovery, listen to Peter Boyles tomorrow morning. He's in Denver and will be on it like white on rice. He regularly has all the "Obama is a Fraud" people on like Jack Cashill, Jerome Corsi, Rev. Manning et. al.

Peter Boyles Page

He's on 630KHOW in Denver from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. mountain time. I can't wait!

Dynachrome, are you going to be listening to Boyles tomorrow? I CAN'T WAIT!

Devil's advocate here, but the Daily Mail article on this had a side box with a counter argument from Media Matters (big lib group of course) which linked to this New York Times article from February 6, 1990:

The Harvard Law Review, generally considered the most prestigious in the country, elected the first black president in its 104-year history today. The job is considered the highest student position at Harvard Law School.

The new president of the Review is Barack Obama, a 28-year-old graduate of Columbia University who spent four years heading a community development program for poor blacks on Chicago's South Side before enrolling in law school. His late father, Barack Obama, was a finance minister in Kenya and his mother, Ann Dunham, is an American anthropologist now doing fieldwork in Indonesia. Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii.

''The fact that I've been elected shows a lot of progress,'' Mr. Obama said today in an interview. ''It's encouraging.

''But it's important that stories like mine aren't used to say that everything is O.K. for blacks. You have to remember that for every one of me, there are hundreds or thousands of black students with at least equal talent who don't get a chance,'' he said, alluding to poverty or growing up in a drug environment.'

What a Law Review Does

Law reviews, which are edited by students, play a double role at law schools, providing a chance for students to improve their legal research and writing, and at the same time offering judges and scholars a forum for new legal arguments. The Harvard Law Review is generally considered the most widely cited of the student law reviews.

On his goals in his new post, Mr. Obama said: ''I personally am interested in pushing a strong minority perspective. I'm fairly opinionated about this. But as president of the law review, I have a limited role as only first among equals.''

Therefore, Mr. Obama said, he would concentrate on making the review a ''forum for debate,'' bringing in new writers and pushing for livelier, more accessible writing.

A President's Future

The president of the law review usually goes on to serve as a clerk for a judge on the Federal Court of Appeals for a year, and then as a clerk for an associate justice of the Supreme Court. Mr. Obama said he planned to spend two or three years in private law practice and then return to Chicago to re-enter community work, either in politics or in local organizing.

Professors and students at the law school reacted cautiously to Mr. Obama's selection. ''For better or for worse, people will view it as historically significant,'' said Prof. Randall Kennedy, who teaches contracts and race relations law. ''But I hope it won't overwhelm this individual student's achievement.''

Change in Selection System

Mr. Obama was elected after a meeting of the review's 80 editors that convened Sunday and lasted until early this morning, a participant said.

Until the 1970's the editors were picked on the basis of grades, and the president of the Law Review was the student with the highest academic rank. Among these were Elliot L. Richardson, the former Attorney General, and Irwin Griswold, a dean of the Harvard Law School and Solicitor General under Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard M. Nixon.

That system came under attack in the 1970's and was replaced by a program in which about half the editors are chosen for their grades and the other half are chosen by fellow students after a special writing competition. The new system, disputed when it began, was meant to help insure that minority students became editors of The Law Review.

Harvard, like a number of other top law schools, no longer ranks its law students for any purpose including a guide to recruiters.

Blacks at Harvard: New High

Black enrollment at Harvard Law School, after a dip in the mid-1980's, has reached a record high this year, said Joyce Curll, the director of admissions. Of the 1,620 students in the three-year school, 12.5 percent this year are blacks, she said, and 14 percent of the first-year class are black. Nationwide enrollment by blacks in undergraduate colleges has dropped in recent years.

Mr. Obama succeeds Peter Yu, a first-generation Chinese-American, as president of The Law Review. After graduation, Mr. Yu plans to serve as a clerk for Chief Judge Patricia Wald on the of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

Mr. Yu said Mr. Obama's election ''was a choice on the merits, but others may read something into it.''

The first female editor of The Harvard Law Review was Susan Estrich, in 1977, who recently resigned as a professor at Harvard Law School to take a similar post at the University of Southern California. Ms. Estrich was campaign manager for Gov. Michael S. Dukakis of Massachusetts in his campaign for the Presidency in 1988.

http://www.nytimes.com/1990/02/06/us/first-black-elected-to-head-harvard-s-law-review.html?pagewanted=2&src=pm

With that said, the Daily Mail article has this:

The simmering political row over President Obama’s heritage was dramatically reignited today as a 1991 booklet boldly announced that the Democrat was ‘born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.’

In the cover for a 1991 promotional booklet by Mr Obama’s then-publisher Acton & Dystel, he is as ‘the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, (who) was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.’ The information, which could be used as more ammunition against the incumbent, comes months before what will likely be a close campaign between Mr Obama and likely Republican nominee Mitt Romney.

The 36-page promotional booklet was exclusively obtained by Breitbart, and was sent out to colleagues within the publishing industry in the early 1990s.

A later biography, which can still be found on Acton & Dystel’s archives, reads: ‘Barack Obama is the junior Democratic senator from Illinois and was the dynamic keynote speaker at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.

‘He was also the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. He was born in Kenya to an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister and was raised in Indonesia, Hawaii, and Chicago. His first book, Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, has been a long time New York Times bestseller.

Forgive me if this little tidbit has been posted already..

According to the article, the agency at issue here was/is headed by Jane Dystel.

According to Ms. Dystel’s bio on her agency’s site it states she has two children, Zachary and Jessica.

http://www.dystel.com/staff-e-mail/

Now this New York Times wedding announcement shows that a Jane Dystel had a daughter Jessica Toonkel married back in 2003, who was a professional editor of a financial newsletter.

http://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/14/style/weddings-celebrations-jessica-toonkel-maceo-marquez.html

Is this the same Jessica Toonkel who is now a financial journalist with Reuters?

https://twitter.com/#!/jtoonkel
http://www.linkedin.com/pub/jessica-toonkel/0/8a5/68a

Assume this is the daughter, who now works for Reuters as a journalist. If I were hired as a journalist, and my Mother was head of an agency that represented the President of the United States years prior, the first thing I would do is phone my mother up, “hey, can you get me any and all non-confidential materials related to Obama and let me see if I can find a story in there somewhere”? Or better yet, assume Obama was a Conservative Republican rather than a left winger of the type most at Reuters seem to prefer, would that have increased the likelihood of Reuters breaking this story?

I guess if I had any respect for Reuters journalistic integrity to lose, I may have lost some of it after knowing how close one of their reporters was to this bombshell and yet, nothing. Even if it were in fact a clerical error, etc., it is STILL newsworthy to the point of being journalistic malpractice in my opinion, nearing rathergate proportions if they (or Toonkel alone) knew about this material and failed to report it.

I suspect that the American people won’t busy this either, for it would indict many of them personally.

I was right! Years ago I saw that debate between Obama and Alan Keyes. I mean I saw a clip of it, linked here on FR. Keyes says. Something to the effect that Obama wasn’t born here and Obama says we are talking about senator, nor president. Paraphrased.

I know I saw this but it has been scrubbed off the web and lied about.

We still dont know where he was born, but now we know :

A) he used to BRAG about being from Kenya
And
B) he has serious problems with every American documentation

Conclusions may be met. This is strong circumstantial evidence. I bet he was born in an unwed mothers’ home in British Columbia, still.

Just a personal theory, but I think Breibart was brilliant by distancing himself from the “birthed” argument. I don’t think he had proof positive about this.

Seems to me, from the reading, that Breitbart has proof yet to come that Obama registered himself as a foreign student to gain admission to Harvard. I assume his “Columbia” grades were too low to get in as an American, therefore he fudged to get the advantage.

Logical that as this drips out during “The Vetting”, Obama is going to have to eventually admit either being born in Kenya and/or lying to get into law school.

Either way, when the rest of “The Vetting” is released, I don’t believe there is any way Obama will be able to keep the media or the American people quiet.

I have faith in Breitbart when he said this was going to be explosive and I do not believe we have seen the end of “The Vetting” at this point.

Of course, all the in humble opinion of a Jew who really doesn’t know much.

:-)
