Why should we believe statements about health care from the most secretive president since Richard Nixon? We have no way of knowing if presidents who keep significant secrets in some areas are telling the truth on other matters. Barack Obama's continued refusal to release minor personal documents like his actual birth certificate, college records, etc. implies he is covering up important information that we should know about. Unless his critics are correct, none of the information should have any adverse affect other than possibly causing some embarassment. A president who feels he has to keep personal secrets is very likely...

John F. Kennedy was sworn into office. Roger Maris was hitting 61 home runs. The Berlin wall was erected. Much was happening in the first six months of 1961. But an extensive WND investigation into events leading up to the birth of Barack Obama, who would become America's first black president 47 years later, leaves many unanswered questions about the whereabouts and activities of the woman he claims as his mother. The timeline for Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, reveals an approximately six-and-a-half month interval in which there is no documentation for her whereabouts, from Jan. 31, 1961, when she concluded...

As a world exclusive, this blog alone can tell you what is exactly on Barack Obama's birth certificate, because Barack Obama recorded exactly what was on his birth certificate. I will not go into if it was Kenyan, British Columbian or if it was Hawaiian as that is not the point of this investigation. What is the point is we know from Barack Obama hisself, exactly what his birth certificate looked like. I can tell you that he was so troubled by it, that he his first thought was it caused a fight between Stanley Ann and Barack sr. First...

Orly Taitz, the Mission Viejo lawyer trying to get Barack Obama thrown out of office, says she's had enough of two of her clients in the case and will continue without them. Whoa, say the two. "This is our case," said Buena Park Pastor Wiley Drake, one of the two plaintiffs Taitz has unilaterally tried to have removed from the case. The lawsuit challenges Obama's birthplace and his legitimacy as president. The latest chapter in the drama started when Drake and Markham G. Robinson notified Taitz that they were replacing her as counsel. Taitz continues to represent 40 other plaintiffs...

The Tulsa World again showed its bias against Sen. Jim Inhofe in the headline for its article on the questionable evidence of Barak Obama's natural-born status ("Inhofe weighs in on Obama birth site," July 28). Inhofe specifically said he didn't weigh in because he hadn't studied the facts. Jim Inhofe said, "No comment," but he "weighed in"? Your article derisively calls all who wonder if Obama is a natural-born citizen, "birthers," while Obama has blocked access to his long form birth certificate. Two Hawaii hospitals have claimed to be the hospital where Obama was born. No hospital has produced the...

...I have just received an email from, David Axelrod, 'Senior Advisor' to Barack Obama. It's official then, I am officially recognized as an Obama critic. Here is my response to David Axelrod, 'Senior Advisor' to Barack Obama email: "It's official! I am on Obama's hit list. I am officially designated as an Obama critic! "Now, David, as an official Senior Advisor to Barack Obama, let me ask you: When is Obama going to muster up enough honor to publish his actual birth certificate? As you well know, the honorable thing to do when someone questions your qualifications to hold the...

Birthers are a loose knit cadre of internet individuals having reason to question the eligibility of Barack Obama to be President of the United States. At the core, Birthers simply want to know if our elected president meets the criteria laid out in Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution which specifies that a president must be at least Age 35, 14 years a resident, and a natural born Citizen. Natural born is the sore point as the country’s founders specifically intended anyone holding presidential office have no allegiance to any other country than the newly formed United...

Link to audio. Dr. Jerome Corsi discusses and clearly explains Certifigate with G. Gordon Liddy.

I keep reading about how I am part of a "conspiracy theory" because I want to see Barack Obama release his birth certificate to prove he is constitutionally eligible to serve as president. What is that "conspiracy theory" I am promoting? Many of those questioning my commitment to the Constitution are clearly cavorting with conspiracy themselves. They speculate that my motivations are racist. After all, Barack Obama is the first black president. I'm slightly lighter skinned than he is. Voila! You have the makings of a grand conspiracy. Admittedly, it's a little thin. There's no actual evidence suggesting I have...

Why Aren’t Americans Allowed To Know What Foreign Passports Were Issued To Barack Obama?

Prize-winning cartoonist Garry Trudeau, creator of "Doonesbury," is poking fun at the constitutional question over Barack Obama's eligibility to be president, based on questions about whether he qualifies under the Constitution's requirement that the president be only a "natural born" citizen.

Please call me skeptical. It's a label I proudly wear. Since my first day of second grade, when I traded my homemade chocolate-chip cookies for a smooth-talking fourth-grader's out-of-ink ballpoint pen, I've been a wary consumer. So, if a presidential candidate tries to hand me a barebones certificate of live birth in lieu of a valid, long-form birth certificate, my skeptical antennae go on alert. I automatically question his motives and whether or not he may be trying to play a little fast and loose with the U.S. Constitution. When that same president purportedly spends over a million dollars on...

The press secretary for Barack Obama, who first laughed at a question about the president's constitutional eligibility and later said there are 10,000 things more important, now is stumbling over the explanation. "I can't tell you why somebody believes, despite all preponderance of the evidence, that the president was born … uhm … in … uhh, uhh … was born here and not somewhere else. I've stopped trying to explain that," Robert Gibbs said in a recent news briefing. The response, in which he apparently meant, "I can't tell you why somebody believes that the president was born somewhere else...

Jay McKinnon, a self-described Department of Homeland Security-trained document specialist, has implicated himself in the production of fraudulent Hawaii birth certificate images similar to the one endorsed as genuine by the Barack Obama campaign, and appearing on the same blog entry where the supposedly authentic document appears. The evidence of forgery and manipulation of images of official documents, triggered by Israel Insider's revelation of the collection of Hawaii birth certificate images on the Photobucket site and the detective work of independent investigative journalists and imaging professionals in the three weeks since the publication of the images, implicate the Daily Kos,...

Why Aren’t Americans Allowed To Know What Foreign Passports Were Issued To President Obama? Has Obama ever held a UK, Kenyan or Indonesian passport? Specifically, the issue of whether Obama held a UK passport is absolutely relevant to determine whether he is currently a British citizen. (I will be publishing comprehensive research on this issue soon.) What passport did Obama travel to Indonesia with at the age of 6 years old? Even if you believe Obama is eligible to be President, the question of what passports he held and what nations he was a citizen of should be of paramount...

These last weeks have witnessed a breach in the media firewall surrounding Barack Obama, first from CNN’s Lou Dobbs, then from “Obama’s favorite blogger,” Andrew O’Sullivan, and finally from Andrew McCarthy in National Review Online. Ironically, the respectable conservative media like National Review have done a more zealous job manning the firewall than the mainstream media, but that is a story for another day. “Show the documents. Get it done,” said Dobbs. “Obama promised total transparency. Where is it?” a surprisingly ornery O’Sullivan asked in regards to the birth certificate controversy. McCarthy criticized his own editors in his demand for...

Prize-winning cartoonist Garry Trudeau, creator of "Doonesbury," is poking fun at the constitutional question over Barack Obama's eligibility to be president, based on questions about whether he qualifies under the Constitution's requirement that the president be only a "natural born" citizen.

William Hadley had some interesting comments in his letter of Aug. 3 about Barack Obama's birthplace. He mentioned a large sum of money our president has spent to block any disclosure of personal records, including a "birth certificate." What I, along with others, would like to know is why would he need to spend any money to block something that was perfectly legal and aboveboard? If all is correct with his birthplace, then why would there be a problem? As Hadley said, the media can change their position on certain issues as quickly as they change their socks, and most...

For all those who are embarrassed by the birther issue, know this: We are just taking a page from hero of the Left, Saul Alinsky's, book 'Rules For Radicals.' Rule #8: Attack, attack, attack on multiple fronts, and never let up. They made the rules. We're just following them. We can beat them at their own game, or we can lose. That's the choice.

So how are we supposed to know that a candidate for U.S. president meets all the qualifications laid out by the Constitution? Do we leave it in the hands of the verbal free-for-all that passes as a debate over whether President Barack Obama actually was born in America? Or will Congress create an official path for presidential and congressional candidates to prove their qualifications? For all the sneering denunciations heaped on the "birthers" -- those who feel compelled to prove that Obama wasn't born in the United States and thus is not eligible to be president -- they have not...
