Consider this thought: If we can get the folks in Hawaii to say that they determine ‘a person’ is a Natural Born Citizen in part by looking at BOTH parents citizenship, we know Obama lied about who his real father is. Or was mistaken. Interesting and not impossible to have them answer that question as long as it is phrased like this: “How does the department determine a person is a Natural-Born American Citizen? What criteria does the Director use to determine that status?” You cannot refer to Obama, at all, when you ask the question. That would violate statute...

I have a challenge to my old buddy Bill O'Reilly – put up or shut up! You told your viewers this week that challenges to Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility are "bogus." You claimed you and your news organization examined Obama's birth certificate last year and found it to be in order. Can I ask a question, Bill? Why don't you simply reveal to your viewers exactly what you saw and what you found? Fox News Channel's slogan is, "We report, you decide." Why don't you try actually reporting the story, rather than deciding for us? Here's the story, Bill, whether...

This is in follow-up to my post on Tuesday: "The Day I asked a question and got the MOTHER of all answers" The implications of the following account is that the President's REAL NAME did not appear on any ballot, in any state. That's just one of MANY implications. Let me preface by saying an AMENDED birth record could indicate that the President was adopted by either Lolo Soetoro and/or His grandparents, the Dunhams. My story: I have serious reasons to believe that Janice Okubo and/or Director Fukino, Department of Health in Hawaii are under duress. Something is preventing Director...

This week at the Television Critics Association press tour, CNN President Jon Klein had to defend his network after two weeks in the public eye following Lou Dobbs' coverage of the "birthers" movement. During a three-hour panel Klein continued touting CNN's claim to the biggest "reach" of any network, thanks to its strong web presence. While in traditional television viewer metrics the network has continued to trail behind Fox News, Klein seems unconcerned: "You've got one network on the right and one on the left, and we're the only one that is based on reporting news," Klein said. "That's really...

So... If we can't ask about Obama's birth certificate without being dismissed as nutjob, tinfoil-hat conspiracy theorists, can we ask a few other questions without being maligned solely through the use of childish name calling, silly syllogism and sorry sophistry? Ok. So let's forget the birth certificate for a moment and ask Mr. Obama a couple of other questions...or are we still allowed to do that? * Kindergarten records (not even a kindergarten record?) * Punahou school records * Occidental College records * Columbia University records * Columbia thesis * Harvard Law School records * Harvard Law Review articles *...

After the not-so-subtile attack on birthers over the last week by the Obama lapdog media and MoveOn crowd, it is clear that the battle lines are drawn. The original birth certificate is THE wobbling cornerstone in a feeble house of cards. Anyone who has ever been deceived knows that when the accused is confronted with the truth, the screaming gets louder, the accused attempts to become the accuser, a the facts are obfuscated in any way possible. In short, the accused tries to take control of the argument. We're faced with a President who is doing the irrational...spending hundreds of...

Trust but verify. -- Ronald Reagan It's good practice to take a person at his word until someone shows you proof he is lying. Barack Obama says he was born in Hawaii, and since no one has shown any proof he was born in Kenya or elsewhere, it's OK to conclude he was born in Hawaii. Sure his grammar school records show that he was enrolled as an Indonesian Muslim, but some people will say anything to get their kid in the right school. It doesn't really answer the question. It's OK though for others not to use my deferential...

As discussed here, the recent National Review editorial "Born in the U.S.A." (read it here) contains at least three false statements. I've twice contacted NRO asking them to correct those false statements, and I haven't received a reply. So, please use the email addresses given at the end of this post to send them brief and polite emails focused only on the false statements discussed below. The errors I found (there might be others) occur in this part of the editorial: The Hawaiian birth certificate President Obama has produced - the document is formally known as a "certificate of live...

Clearing the Smoke on Obama’s Eligibility: An Intelligence Investigator’s June 10 Report Editors Note: In December ‘08 a retired CIA officer commissioned an investigator to look into the Barack Obama birth certificate and eligibility issue.

Here is an unedited version of the report. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This is a report copied directly from the westernjournalism.com blog.

Yesterday, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, director of the Hawaii State Department of Health, chose to weigh in on the Obama “Natural Born Citizen” controversy again. This time Dr. Fukino went much further than she had before. This time Dr. Fukino held herself out as a Constitutional Law Expert by declaring that Mr. Obama is a “Natural Born Citizen.” I was very surprised by her new statement considering the Supreme Court of the United States has never fully delineated the meaning of the term, “Natural Born Citizen”. In Minor v. Happersett, decided in 1874, 6 years after the adoption of the 14th...

Capitol Hill recently asking Republican lawmakers their thoughts on those who continue to question President Barack Obama’s place of birth. Stark’s video was released today. Here’s what U.S. Rep. Roy Blunt, seeking the GOP’s nomination for U.S. Senate, said: What I don’t know is why the president can’t produce a birth certificate. I don’t know anybody else that can’t produce one. And I think that’s a legitimate question. [Video at link]

The White House in a desperate move to quiet Americans clamoring for the release of his “in the vault” Certificate of Birth flails out. Instead of releasing his long-form birth certificate, the one that names the hospital, doctor, witness, footprint and state seal, they released a three pronged assault. Robert Gibbs in Monday’s press briefing makes light of the “birthers” with a tongue-in-cheek comment. …DNA, it wouldn’t assuage those that don’t believe he was born here.” Gibb’s comments rings hollow and reeks of cover-up and one of his comments at the briefing is an insult to all Americans. When is...

The lapdog media's recent birther bashing week may have temporarily lessened the clamor for Obama's Birth Certificate, but the media doesn't understand the scorn of the American people. We don't aprreciate being treated like idiots. The media also doesn't realize that Obama's attempts to literally seal his entire life literally from the day he was born is what has fueled the all the research, theories and innuendos that have come out. That is what intelligent people are forced to do when seeking answers with incomplete information. I am not certain that Obama's actual birth certificate will prove he was or...

Page 231 contains the requirements for "Race and color." "Births in the United States in 1961 are classified for vital statistics into white, Negro, American Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Aleut, Eskimo, Hawaiian and Part-Hawaiian (combined), and "other nonwhite." Do you see a classification for "African?" I certainly don't. Now, let's look at the document that Obama has provided for certifying his eligibility for the Office of the President of the United States and that is displayed on Annenberg FatCheck.org. FATHER'S RACE is "African" -- an incorrect entry for that data field. Just a typo? I don't think so. The Obot who...

Dear MoveOn member, Why is CNN promoting right-wing paranoid conspiracy theories about President Obama's birth certificate? The fringe ideas of the so-called "birthers" have been thoroughly debunked.1 But CNN host Lou Dobbs perpetuates these myths by constantly talking about them on his shows and asserting that Obama still needs to "produce a birth certificate." This is not responsible journalism. Our friends at Media Matters have launched a campaign calling on CNN to address its Lou Dobbs problem—but a lot of us are going to have to speak out in order to get CNN's attention. Clicking here will add your name...

I never really worried about the so called controversy of th birth of President Obama because I am no fan of conspiracy theories. In order to believe that President Obama wasn't born in Hawaii, you not only have to believe that a conspiracy is being created involving an entire state's bureaucratic apparatus, but you also have to believe that President Obama has been lying, or lied to, since he was a child. After all, he's maintained he was born in Hawaii since he was a kid. Either he was claiming this lie long before he wanted to be president, or...

I'm not taking a position one way or the other, I have been watching the "Birther" controversy with interest. In answering my question, please go further than the obvious, in other words what would be the outfall and how would you handle the eventual constitutional crisis? Would Biden become prez? If he is no longer viable, would it then fall to Pelosi? I'm asking the birther supporters to think long range about this.

Freepers: in preparing for radio shows and appearances, I need some information. Yes, it's here (someplace) on FR, usually buried in a myriad of links. So I'm asking your help to get some concise and clear answers on some "birther" issues: 1) Is there a difference between a "Certificate of Live Birth" and a "Birth Certificate?" If so, what are the specific differences, and can a non-U.S. citizen obtain either or both? 2) Was, or was not, Pakistan on the State Department's "banned travel" list when Obama went there. This has been asserted and denied. Can anyone provide a list...
